Episode 10: Midnight City (Part 1)

Midnight City (Part 1) is the tenth episode of Glass Paradise.

Summary
Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. and Mulholland Merritt awaken in a pair of cages, confused and disoriented. Around them is a twisted, nightmarish landscape, black as the goo that grabbed them. On closer inspection, they appear to still be Paradise City, albeit a warped version of it. Using their Stands, they manage to pick the locks and slip out, only to find themselves in a sandbox that transforms into a pit of quicksand.

While scrambling to get out, a voice begins speaking to them over the loudspeaker. They recognize it as Silver Tower. She tells them that she can techincally let them out of Midnight City at any time, but unspecified circumstances forbid her from it. The boys escape the trap by launching Epitaph for My Heart's urn out of the pit, then getting fished out by it.

After reorienting themselves, the boys spot a giant tube leading up in the center of town. They head in its direction, walking along a river. Several black sewage tentacles emerge from the water and carry Epitaph for My Heart away. The two give chase until they reach a bridge, where the tentacles surround them. Tower asks them to give up over another loudspeaker; neither of them concede. She very nearly defeats them, but Mud once again distracts his opponent with a routine. Silver Tower is so amused that she clocks out of warden duties and the waters calm.

They recover Epitaph for My Heart's urn and go to get back on their way, but a strange man stops them, offering help.
