Roleplay Retcon

Igon Siruss has returned for Bubble, but Valerian and Laureline are on the clock and won't let him have his way. Valerian masters his blaster. Laureline makes it raaaaiiiin, baby. Bubble turns to love in a hopeless place.

The investigation continues into Point Central's red light district. Nobody asked what a red light district would be like on an alien space colony, but we answered the question extensively. Bubble aces a job interview. Laureline catches the red eye. Valerian is sorry, you seem nice, but he kindof hates your face.

An attack on the Council of Many sends the squad on a new investigation. Bubble gets slimed. Valerian wears an entirely new kind of pants. Laureline gives the greatest speech never heard.

We burn our first "All Words are Made Up" charge! Only two left! Valerian gets a little upsetty spaghetti. Laureline studies vexillology. Bubble plays it safe. 

The crew can finally take a moment to mourn their merchandise and vape in the ionization room. But, the break is short, because Valerian and Laureline's boss, Representative Mau, is on the horn and she wants tough answers to hard questions. Bubble hears a sad story. Laureline lies. Valerian technically doesn't tell any lies.

Weapons aren't much use against Igon's terrible and wily pet Caypins, So the trio must turn to Big Market itself for solutions. Valerian is suspicious of Bubble. Laureline perceives everything, everywhere, all the time. Bubble takes more than just a penny. 

The black market auction transforms from a bidding war to more of a literal war. Valerian shoots an Earth culture enthusiast. Laureline aims for precious alien jewels. Bubble turns the table. 

In the first episode of our remake of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the eponymous Valerian and his partner/buddy/something more??? Laureline go to the transdimensional desert-sized shopping mall Big Market to find the fabled Mul Converter, a creature that can replicate whatever it eats a thousand-fold. Valerian has a gift for wetwork and Laureline has all the nuts and bolts covered, but they could really use a third person. Maybe someone with a little charisma?

We're finally remaking the movie that inspired Roleplay Retcon: The 2017 Luc Besson film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, intended to be the spiritual successor to The Fifth Element that crash-landed so, so short.

Chuck Fuster has the device he needs to save Nil, but Danica Flareng is growing attached to Earth and will do what it takes to stop their colleague. Also in this episode: A fun, all-new way to eat pretzels!
