Trip is one of the two major characters from the 2006 interactive fiction title Façade.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Unlike those of his wife Grace, Trip's formative years were marked by a distinctive lack of disposable income; including a six-month period spend within a shelter. This experience has turned him into a pragmatic, if not downright materialistic individual with little love for abstract subjects such as art, and a rather controlling personality. Both seem to act as major fault lines in his relationship with his better half.
Some of Grace's comments suggest he is only proficient with knives rather than longswords, which might explain why her ten-year marriage with Trip is still childless. He also is violently allergic to any and all mentions of the word 'melon', and will promptly eject the player from the couple's flat if it is so much as brought up.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
As with most veterans from the first season of 8chanmania, where or when Trip originally debuted has been lost to history (though it presumably was in one of the early tag-team manias, given that he only appears alongside his wife).
His first recorded appearance was in a pre-show prior to 8chanmania XXX, where he fittling fought Grace, and promptly suffered a KO at her hands.
He, alongside Grace and Yeti Girl formed a team against Bob Newbie, Betty Newbie, and Ski Free Yeti during the Brendan Frasergy Movie Night. Trip was the last member of his team to remain standing, but ultimately was disqualified by a ringout after being double-teamed by Betty Newbie and Ski Free Yeti.
Trip and Grace briefly put their marriage dispute aside to form a tag team for 8chanmania XLIV. It was of little use, as their already damaged relationship could not possibly hope to outshine that of Long Long Man and Tooru-Kun.
