For our three hundredth episode, we have almost three hours of intrigue and conflict both supernatural and interpersonal!

Our Masks campaign may have reached its conclusion, but the stories of our four young heroes have only just begun! For this episode we're squarely in Freeform Mode as we explore the immediate and long-term futures of our cast. What kind of hero will Pate become with her newfound powers? Will Luka be able to have some normality? Which ties will Juno cut, and which will she cherish? Who's going to stop Pipa from recruiting every quirky robot they meet for a workplace sitcom? Where will any of them live if their landlords aren't cool with cop-punching for some reason? And can you believe it's been FOUR YEARS since we started this game???

It's time for the final episode of Masks: a New Generation! At least for now. Just how big of a bang will it go out with?

Forget all that, what the hell is a skrull? Listen on to find out, dear big gay nerds! Content warning for police and gun violence, stabbing, and melting humanoid figures.

Well, things are looking pretty shaky over in Halcyon City. Juno is flickering on the edge of a meltdown and ready to go on the warpath, Pipa is struggling just to get back in the loop, Pate realizes just how many loose ends she has to tie, and Luke is... mostly okay, but confronting a lot about where his(?) principals have led him(?).

Things are getting increasingly dire with our split narrative! In Halcyon City, the confrontation of Lady Photon gets hairy as Le Chat enters the arena; can Juno prevent more harm than she causes, and just what does Pipa have up her sleeves? Meanwhile, Under the Hill, Pate devises a cunning plan to foil Prince Briar's wedding plans, and Luke is the key component; will it buy their freedom or just get them both in deeper trouble? It's a messy situation, and folks, it's going to end messier than our Masks campaign has ever been before.

In this episode, the New Wave's two couples find themselves in surprisingly similar situations despite being in other dimensions; both are facing down an antagonistic force in said force's home turf, and are doing their damnedest to Diplomacy and Deception their respective ways out of the problem.
