Transcript

Panel 1

(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)

Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!

Panel 2

(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!

Panel 3

(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.

Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?

Panel 4

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.

Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!

Panel 5

(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!

Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

EI_After_Dark_007a Fan support of the NSFW comic, Evil Inc After Dark (available exclusively through Patreon) has been so strong that it’s challenging me to make each new story bigger and better! To that end, the EiAD story that I just started is going to be longer and more developed than any of the NSFW features I’ve posted since beginning this whole thing in May. If you’re a fan of Phil Foglio’s XXXenophile, then you know the mark I’m trying to hit. Longer stories, scenes that unfold with a little more detail, jaw-dropping scenes… that’s what I’m aiming for. And Capt. Valerie Scarr is the perfect candidate for a longer adventure. Expect her to take charge in an adventure that will bring her in contact with strange beings and alien customs as she treks across space in search of… booty. (Sorry. I couldn’t resist.) If you’ve been considering backing me on Patreon, there’s a lot of content uploaded already, and more stuff coming every week.
