I do believe you've been duped.

This

Is Gerald. (note the number of legs, decidedly red colouring and tell-tale mouth line thing.)

What you have there is nothing but a cheap imitation.
Of course, Gerald (who by the way is right here with me at the moment) doesn't want any harm to come to this hostage crab, however he doesn't negotiate with those that use such underhand tactics.

However I will be running through your demands and systematically refusing them one by one.

Miss LaCoil wanted to ensure your Plausable Denyability.

We have demands for the safe return of Gerald. some crab you found somewhere As these get met, they will be crossed off, and Gerald will be returned safely

1 Fe Ninja Cigars, a LOT of Fe Ninja Cigars
b We want this exploit documented in Adventures in Ninja Cookery. the faster this happens, the faster you get Gerald back
3 Ultrajoe, unmasked, in a skirt, prancing on webcam
d we all want to be characters/villians in SHK's game.
5 The next one of these that happens, we expect MORE escapists to join us, so this doesn't happen again
1. No. In fact, for the henious crime of kidnapping an innocent crab, I give you anti-cigars. May you never again feel the smooth, lung damaging taste of an Iron Ninja cigar.

2. No. Instead I shall make a comic that has all the offending escapists shown plunging down a ravine inside sacks filled with poisonous snakes.

3 That video was given to me on the grounds that I never show it to anyone else. I'm a man of my word.

d Well I just came back from the New Zealand Tractor convention (which everyone in the country attends) and ran into Mr Kitten. Where he said "I'm never gonna put that Jim_Doki fellow into my game, never! Even if he holds an innocent crab hostage."
So you're out of luck there too.

5 The President has already said it, but I'll repeat his words. We at the escapist do not negotiate with terrorists. Unless if by "negotiate" we mean "send in a crack squad of Crustacean commandos."

No crack squad is coming, please leave all windows and doors unlocked, and leave all drains or pipes unblocked.

Yes, Eggo, Yes It Is.

In Other News, I Have Sighted Sydney, And Am Lowering In Altitude As We Speak. While Every Precaution Will Be Taken To Preserve The Hostage, Collateral Damage Is My Speciality.

For some reason, instead of in a helicopter or plane, I'm seeing you by yourself just flying ominously amongst the clouds.
Sort of like this.



Except Flight of the Valkyries is playing as well, though I can't really show that through the medium of imagery.

That was rather the intention of my ambiguity... including the Flight of the Valkyries. Dragonforce, while often over-the-top, is perfectly substituted in situations like this.

And it's time for another wallpaper change, methinks.

EDIT: On second though, stick with the Valkyries. They add a level of class and comic brilliance that i cannot describe. I just stared at that picture while i watched, and laughed like a man freebasing sherbet.

You fool.

All this talk of Star fleets, commandos and Flying blue warriors was merely a distraction.

While you were franticly panicing, Gerald (the real Gerald) Snuck in, rescued the hostage, and replaced him with a convincing plush toy. Go ahead, boil it, rip it apart, stick pins in it, whatever you do, it won't make a difference.

Both Crabs are now perfectly safe.

However I'm told that you on the other hand might have a small Ultraknight-Battlefleet problem.

The Escapist staff loves plushies; you should think about marketing Gerald plushies.

look at the crab gerald brought back. just look. do you honestly think i would do this unprepared? HE has the decoy. I have this crab, incidentally also named Gerald, in my loft, right next to me. Unless Gerald can phase through glass and brick, i still have the real crab.

Pffft. I once punched a baby in the face, in anger. What you're doing to it is practically child's play...... How perverse..........
Anyway. I don't think you've got it. And if you do, prove it. The Necroswanson is not repulsed by crab suffering in the least.
your heartlessness surprises even me. very well, what would you like to see done to this poor little creature?

It is out of extreme curiosity that I wonder if you/your superiors/your parent company would consider licensing and selling them in your store, with royalties to our very own FeNinja?

Your naivety astounds me. I think Gerald would know a crab when he sees one. Perhaps it is you that should take a closer look at your supposed crab. Gerald did not steal away with the hostage by himself. He had a little help, namely from a certain other crab that I have been leasing to Jamanticus. It's largely ethereal, and multi-dimentional, so physical walls were not a problem.
After the crab warped Gerald and himself in it was merely a matter of linking claws with the hostage, clicking their back legs together, and teleporting home.

Jamanticus, you will get Horrace back shortly, I apologise for not informing you of the reason he had disappeared sooner.

You're not the first to recommend I should do so.
Currently I would expect them to sell about... Five in total.
