The deep blue yonder

Tick and Arthur are in their cramped locker room.

Arthur: So, Tick, with GD's justice accounts finally paid in full, are you ready for your big fight with Erebus tonight?

Tick: Ah yes, the big shiny. With so many things going on, it has been rather difficult to stay focused on it... I'm, I'm just not feeling it tonight, Arthur.

Arthur: Tick, surely you haven't forgotten that Erebus has been in bed with GD.

Tick: What, eh, but... eww... wiggy.

Arthur: Not literally, Tick... that figurative bed of villainy, the one we are here to fight.

Tick: Ah metaphors, ever the bane of my comprehension... you're right Arthur, we came here to clean this place up, to scrub its dirty underbelly...

Arthur: Nice one, Tick.

Tick: And most assuredly Erebus is a giant barnacle attached to her glorious hull.

Arthur: You're running with it now!

Tick: But how to remove him...

Arthur: I'm sure you'll find a way.

Tick: You forget, most trusty companion, last time I tried to come up with a plan, it took me the whole night. No, I don't have time for plans. Best I just play to my strengths, and tackle it head on. SP-

Arthur: Good luck, Tick.

Tick: -OON!

With that, Tick runs off towards his match.

I like your style sir it's entertaining
