Side Story: Fantasy Journey 69

Given the smell and appearance of the nerds, few people in all of Gotham would dare steal from them.

Hence, the group returned to their neighborhood without a hitch, retching and complaining along the way as their hearts ached for their wives.

But their homes would also stink for days if they went back like this.

So, the nerds went straight to their usual activity venue — an old warehouse near the apartment block.

They didn't live in an affluent area, and they had modified one corner of an old factory with shabby-looking metal on the outside, but which was actually a sturdy room inside.

It was full of their wives and husbands which they had accumulated over the years; only their latest favorite would go home to keep them company.

However, given their financial situation, most of the figurines in the room were either secondhand or even recycled, or were imitations.
