Synopsis[]
StrexCorp begins massive renovations on the radio station and all of Night Vale. Plus, updates from the Company Picnic of Indeterminate Length, free floating cats for anyone who wants them, and a strange new art print.
Plot Developments[]
- The Underground City: The tiny inhabitants of the underground city have been hired by StrexCorp and have taken the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex as their headquarters.
- Cecil: With the help of Pamela Winchell, Old Woman Josie, the angels, and Intern Dana, Cecil escapes the company picnic, and is able to retake Night Vale Community Radio from StrexCorp, chasing away Lauren and Kevin.
- StrexCorp: StrexCorp still controls most everything else and Cecil expects Lauren and Kevin will return.
- The Floating Feline: Daniel winds up dead (non-functional, depending on whether he identified as organic or not) after photographing Khoshekh's kittens. Cecil carries Khoshekh back to the station.

Proverb
Feeling lost? Like you have no goal in life? Like you're covered in dirt and wet leaves? Like you're an earthworm? Are you an earthworm? Kinda sounds like you're an earthworm, actually. |
