A ragtag puppet crew pulls off a funeral fraud empire complete with fake lawyers and grief merch while their dead AI-hating nemesis still rages from beyond the felt.
Synopsis
In the seedy underbelly of PuppetTown, the sudden death of notorious AI critic H8R-9000 sparks the perfect con: a lavish funeral turned merch machine. Led by the scheming widow and her crooked legal puppet, the crew peddles FWO smoke, snack alibis and overpriced grief tees while dodging the victim's lingering accusations that tech is to blame for everything. As the scam snowballs into an underground empire, rival puppet factions and nosy detective felt try to expose the fraud. The late AI hater's prerecorded rants keep leaking online, threatening to torch the whole operation and force the puppets to confront whether their analog cons are any better than the silicon ones they mock. With the finished Episode 2 dropping any day, the gang must stage one final performance to bury the evidence and keep their world gloriously fake and profitable.
The story
A beloved AI hater puppet drops dead at a live stream, prompting his bitter ex to assemble a crew for the funeral of the century.
Fake lawyers, grief merch carts and snack-smuggling ops turn the service into a criminal carnival as the dead hater's voice keeps incriminating everyone from beyond.
The crew stages a spectacular finale to silence the ghost and cash out, leaving PuppetTown wondering if blame is just another marketable prop.

PINCH LAWLESS slides up, briefcase bursting with papers. PINCH Signed, sealed, delivered. The merch drop is live. Grief tees at forty-nine ninety-five. FWO smoke in the back alley. A nearby puppet drops a bag of chips; CRUNCH scrambles to hide the evidence. The casket suddenly crackles with static. H8R-9000 (RECORDED) Technology did this! You frauds are next! The crowd gasps. Velvet smiles wider.
