Asparagoose has a long list of dead friends and lovers, and the emotional toll has caused him to question his place in the order of the Universe. Would the world be better off if he had never waddled so deep into the Verdant’s patch? We’ll never know, and now the only thing he can do is fight. Fight for those who fell helping him, fight for those who can’t, fight for those who have hurt him and those he loved. This is all that sustains him.
After being institutionalized, experimented on, and finally escaping only to watch his friends die, Asparagoose is ready for his all out assault on the Wetlands Sanctuary for the Criminally Insane. The only problem? He’s still in the Wetlands Home for the Criminally Insane. The escape, Crocoli, everything that happened in Russia…it’s all Asparagoose’s fragmented psyche trying to keep him alive while the experiments continued. It’s like that Next Generation episode Ship in a Bottle, but with a lot more talk about goose orgasms and bioengineering the perfect goose/human hybrid.
But when the Wetlands Home for the Criminally Insane is attacked by the Eagles Nest, a team of young fascist-adjacent men, Asparagoose is finally shaken from his medically induced slumber. Able to reach the Verdant and angry over what he has been put through, the Penitent Honk tears through the Technocracy and Eagles Nest like a dog running through a screen door; wild and unstoppable.
Leaving both forces shattered, Asparagoose takes off for parts unknown. At least until he resurfaces in Gross Pointe Beak.
