Waterworks is an Interactive Comic, created by LuFa as a MSPA Forum Adventure; apart from normal and animated panels, it also makes use of Flash animations accompanied by music, Homestuck-style. It follows the adventures of Connie Cohen, a "concerned citizen" who arrives at the local waterworks to investigate the mysterious lack of water in her household. As it turns out, the facility has been taken over by a gang of thugs who apparently wish to steal the water for reasons unknown, and it is up to Connie to stop them. And, of course, then it turns out that there is far more at stake than that... Combat and action abound throughout. It can be read here. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Connie is pretty germ-phobic, specifically in relation to toilets, and will freak out at the drop of a hat about them. | |

| Waterworks (Webcomic) / int_60ea2a89 | comment |
Starter Villain: Tubs, Flush, and Jose are the primary threats for the first part of the comic, but after the story moves to the basement and beyond, they haven't made an appearance in the present since and more pressing and wide-reaching problems (namely the goo) have to be dealt with, though they did later get a flashback interlude of their own. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper: Connie gets angry rather easily... usually with destructive results; as it turns out, this is pretty much the main reason she has barely any friends, let alone a boyfriend. | |

Wham Episode: Derelix and the revelation that the black goo is some sort of organism. There's also the easter egg during the dance sequence where it turns out that Connie has been infected by the goo SO BADLY that her skin's turned completely black. Connie is told by her Superego that she died and didn't wake up from her coma. The goo took over her body, proliferated and ate up the entire planet. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: The mood ring, where each specific mood is a separate inventory slot that can only be accessed when Connie is in that mood. A source of much frustration. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Waterworks (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Urist McWorkman is one walking Dwarf Fortress reference. Also, there's the aforementioned "Hitmontop" worker. In addition to spinning around on his head, he attempts to use triple-kick on Slick. Later, Slick is told to "mash the B button" to stop one of the goo creatures from evolving. The sisters Philia and Phobia are two overall & cap wearing plumber siblings, one red and one green. There's also one to Super Mario Sunshine when Connie asks José if he's going to use his pack to fly around collecting blue coins. This panel is a reference to Prequel Johnny from the interlude looks like Johnny Bravo especially when you consider his position in the team's Theme Naming. Charlie's pumpkin is a reference to the Running Gag from MS Paint Adventures. | |

In Spite of a Nail: In an attempt to prevent her date with LL from going wrong like it did the first time, Connie convinces him to go to the Alpha Hall instead of the Skylight, which is where the Mist look-alike crashed their date. Unfortunately, she shows up at the Alpha Hall and manages to lure LL away anyways, much to Connie's frustration. | |
