While in the Flash editor, an animator called Alan Becker draws a stick figure for torture, dubbed "victim". However, victim breaks free and in the ensuing fight, duplicates himself. Just as he and his clones are about to attack, Alan manages to delete all of them by closing out of the program and not saving it.
Tropes:
- Abnormal Ammo: victim fires an arrow made of a pen and a line, and Alan makes a cannon that shoots Timeline frames.
- Badass Normal: victim has no powers, but is able to use his agility and resourcefulness to keep Alan on his toes. At least, until he starts cloning himself.
- Combat Pragmatist: victim is this, much more so than his successor that appears in the sequels. To be fair, noogai created this iteration of the Animation specifically for torture (aptly naming it "victim"). It's only natural for this little guy to come up with some dirty tricks to fight back.
- Fastball Special: After gently pulling out, placing down, and shaking hands with his first duplicate, victim follows up by sharply yanking two more out and tossing them through the air at Alan's cursor.
- Improvised Weapon:
- Most of victim's arsenal when fighting back against Alan is just whatever's close by that he can throw or start swinging. Some things he grabs include the Paint and Eraser tools as a sword and shield, the Color Picker to spray fluid into Alan's drawn laser gun, smashing the Zoom magnifying glass against Alan's cursor, and stretching out the needle on an icon of a thumbtack into a rapier.
- Even Alan gets a moment where the destroyed Timeline starts leaking frames and he pokes some out of the air towards victim, then draws a cannon to collect and fire them as ammo.
- Knows the Ropes: Alan uses the Lasso tool a couple of times to restrain victim, but he always manages to slip away. Then victim picks up one of the discarded lassos and snags Alan's cursor with it, and Alan is barely able to escape a beating from all the duplicate victims.
- MacGyvering: victim makes a bow and arrow out of the Pen, Line, and Text icons in the toolbar.
- Self-Duplication: victim does this by making his way to the Flash file's Library and pulling out more copies of his own Symbol.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Alan can simply draw weapons into existence much the same way he drew victim, demonstrating a laser gun, a repeating cannon that fires loose frames from the Timeline, and a Fuuma Shuriken.
- Throwing Your Shield Always Works: Or rather, launching your Eraser shield with an improvised slingshot works, and erases part of the cannon that's currently shooting you.
- Updated Re-release: This episode was reuploaded in HD on YouTube in 2015.
