Birth of a Damage Bandit

The only

one who profits from

rickety

rockets are

the ones who have already

sold souls to demons.

—Prime Clan Sandman

Mr. Robinson

Bo Jangles

was the best legend

we never

knew. He gained

influence; tried to turn the

tables; see, he knew.

The good wealth

could do. They knew too.

Time turned him

Into a

minstrel fable; he tried to warn

us; power and wealth,

Strengthen and

enable. He tried

to show us

how to play

the table. Time made him

a clown; a fable.

Time gathered

together, took full

assault on

his legend

showing us who owns it when

we leave the stables.

—Prime Clan Sandman.

The RocketMan’s Plans

Those dusty

streets allow me to

get lost in

all of my

rickety rockets. Repairs

out there will cost me.

An attempt

to steer me clear from

my nearing

Destiny.

I’m getting so close, I must

fix the rest of me.

Rickety

Rocket man plans on

testing me.

I know this;

so I made the recipe;

he won’t best me.

—Nowhere Boy
