How it begins

New Orleans: a city in ruins. You and Brutus the Chihuahua are on Saint Louis Street. Brutus is tall, strong, and has an affinity for leather gear. You are wearing a black velvet cape and carrying a tattered note.

Your black cape was hard won and marks you as your mother's daughter, the second Dark Avenger. The note is the result of your desperate negotiations with the Bright Coalition, mutant hamsters intent on destroying humanity. You have three and a half hours to build a scale replica of the Taj Mahal out of food products at the center of Jackson Square, or all is lost.
