Part Two - The Human Ideal

In Episode Four (chapters one, two and
three), Rob meets the “threateningly slender” Ariadne, friend of
Hippolyta Shute, unhappy worker at the Consume-It! drugstore, and a
beautiful person. Then we see Spider and Seedy as they plan a caper
(badly). And finally, we learn more about the a-hole Shute (who you may
not be surprised to learn drives a Porsche.)

An excerpt from chapter one:

Ariadne Thipirous worked at the Consume-It! drugstore
near Bland Street and Dead White Guy Avenue. I think it would be fair
to say that she hated working there as much she hated the idea of
needing a special cream for toe fungus, but despite that, she was
polite and pleasant with almost everyone who purchased something from
the store. It was not their fault that they needed genetically modified
foods, mood drugs, panty liners, jock itch cream and many other useful
items that kept the minor evils of life at bay. Well, it was their
fault, but she could hardly blame them for it without feeling like a
hypocrite, particularly as she was working there.
