SEASON’S GREETINGS!!!
December begun! Holiday fun! Vote to be stunned!
As for this comic…
Ooh, the plot thickens. In as much as there is a plot.
I like how the size of Daphne’s room sorta greatly distorts depending on the dramatic needs of the scene. Sometimes it’s cavernous; sometimes it’s bedroom-sized. I refuse to be restrained by reality!
“I know you are there, Raziel”
-Kain
I hear he had a bit of a legacy.
Well, given a choice: to rule over a corrupt and decaying empire, or to challenge the Fates for another throw, a better throw, against one’s destiny.. what was a king to do?
But does one ever truly have a choice?
One can only match, move for move, the machinations of Fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars.
On a side note, I burned through the Soul Reaver remasters.
Greatly reskinned, and Soul Reaver 1 has some better camera now, but combat in both is still a bit janky. Just like the old days.
Oh, and they made the lost levels of SR1 available to explore.
I never played them. I just remember the box art from back when I used to work at a computer store.
Oh. You have missed out, friend. The voice acting still holds up. You can probably find some playlists on youtube for the cutscenes. Most of them were theater-trained, and it shows.
My little last post was from the intro to Legacy of Kain: Defiance. That game came out when I was still in school. So when I say that I’m patient.. there’s a sign. It probably explains other things about me, but there’s no time.
Speaking of time, have fun keeping track of the timeline.
Still kind of sad they went with Nosgoth (the MOBA) instead of trying to get Dead Sun finished.. and there were pieces of Dark Prophecy that fans had arranged somewhat coherently.
The single-player titles remain legend, and the multiplayer is lost.
I was always casually interested in the game because LoK was made by Silicon Knights, a now defunct studio from nearby St. Catherines. So they were always local boys and I cheered them on. And then they got bought out by EA. And we all know what happens then.
I want to say that Tracee also raided that very convenient box of foot wear over there as well as the perfume.
Fourth attempt to post…
Sorry. My spam filter doesn’t like certain words. You’re on track with Tracee’s money being ill-gotten. But she hasn’t been selling shoes.
No fair. But I can understand. Never thought that the abbreviation for knock off would be in a spam filter.
The spam filter dates to an earlier time when I made my own. And it was cobbled together from keywords that flooded all the spam comments that crowded my inbox. Now I have to pay big money for a professional spam filter. I should really remove the old filter words. But I don’t cuz I’m tired.
ugh. i just hate it when people use way too much perfume….especially since its usually the really cheap stuff that gives me a headache within minutes. i had to switch seats more than once back in school due to this
fun fact: that kind of perfume is called ‘whore´s fuel’ in my country 😉
Let’s call it tramp gasoline. Or … trampoline.
Nice…
If a guy is wearing too much/poor quality/both aftershave/cologne, then we call it “Hoor-Lure”…
Reality is highly overrated.
Usually.
Can’t read the boxes this time. My squint isn’t up to it.
KO watches, KO sneakers, etc.
That’s a lotta side hustles.
ABC: Always Be Conning.
Don’t forget 123.
If 1’s recommended,
2’s probably necessary,
And you should probably get 3 from me?
When in doubt the nose knows where you are in this situation. Honestly, the kids were probably going to need some more help in this situation because they were way over their heads when it comes to something like this.
They won’t be alone. It’ll be a team effort!
Huh. I would have thought Daphne’s nose would better detect Tracee . . . but then, Daph has been distracted lately.
Daphne has never shown any dog-like abilities. Her hearing seems to be normal, which is weird with ears that big. And her sense of smell also seems average, which is weird, because the whole ‘wet nose’ thing is by nature a structure that greatly enhances smell. So it makes no sense. Like most of the comic.
Daphne has a pretty good nose for, um… questionable business opportunities.
Heh. Valid.
Well, Daphne’s not a dog. She just has an unusual visage. We don’t know what else she is other than a girl.
Well, she’s … dog-adjacent. Maybe wolf? No one’s sure. But mostly girl.
The important part.
Until you decide that is. I doubt she’s related to Florence Ambrose.
I always wondered what the demonic equivalent of falling from grace would look like.
Apparently its knee high whites, plaid skirt with matching blouse. And Britney Spears’ Curious parfoom for aging Sorority girls.
Tracee is just one accessory shy of a late 80s bowhead.
Get the woman a slit skirt and some haute couture
Well, when one falls from whatever they fell from and into the sphere of Puck, you end up looking like … this? I guess? It’s low-key horrifying, I know.
As long as I am on the notion of fashion, is that lone collar that Hannah wears something the well dressed high school kids of 2024 are sporting. Or those from homes of the holier-than-thou?
That collar is NOT something teens wear. This is a creation of my own. Blame me. It DID have a bow at the front, but I felt there were just too many damned bows on her, so I nixed that one.
I find it attractive and an absolute necessity for Hannah’s look, as she clearly has adopted it – or rather, you have – as part of her unique sense of style.
Hannah always has had some sort of collar. Since her first appearance. Read into that what you will.
I don’t usually wear any, and I don’t like the smell of too much aftershave or cologne. It’s better than day old sweat, but not by much. Most people who layer it on need a bath instead.
Same. I do wear scented deodorant, but that’s it. My workplace also doesn’t really tolerate heavy perfumes.
In Jersey they call that the Turnpike Bubble Bath.
Emily looks wonderful ! But beware, sweet lass.
My mom, Jólakötturinn (Joli to her friends), the dreaded Yule Cat of Iceland is becoming perturbed.
All the year she appears to be a sweet, friendly, domestic House Cat. But inside lurks a savage beast.
On Christmas Day she expands to enormous size, larger than many homes. And her rage expands as well.
She has ancient and very strict tastes in clothing. And she believes badly dressed people disrespect the Holiday.
In older times, the clothing had to be soiled or tattered. Sad to say, pretty much everything triggers her now.
It may be best to stay inside next 24th and 25th.
I’m glad this Yuletide tradition continues. Good cat.
Does anyone celebrate Agnostica anymore, since Darren Bluel quit publishing? Just occurred to me, it started on Saturday.
Unless being torn limb from limb appeals to you, of course.
🙁
“I scent something. A presence I’ve not smelt since #769.”
… Darth Hannah
You caught that this was set up earlier. See how good I am?
Half the room is her bedroom, the other half was -probably- communal storage that eventually was replaced with her “supplies”…
As for Emily – she can pull my sleigh any day!
Yeah, that was kinda what I was implying through the design. This isn’t a bedroom as much as it is repurposed storage with a bed thrown in.
TRACEEE could be capturing park animals and harvesting their organs for perfume.
Too Dark ?
A little darkness is always appreciated. But no. I think if she were doing that, Phoebe would have heard by now…
Or…
Park Animals = Cat Food ?
Or…
Park Animals = Dog Food ?
Or…
Park Animals = Fish Food ?
I’m out of concepts 🙁
That’s enough concepts, I think.
Oh Oh….
TRACEEE is selling Drones.
THAT’S IT !!
Gotta Go….
My human Pets, Baldie and Janet are still assembling Christmas Decorations.
They bought a Ground Breaking Worm from the Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s huge, like 3 meters long. And it is eating an Xmas Tree. Like in the movie.
But it’s not illuminated.
Baldie is giving me the end of a string of lights, and he wants me to crawl in and drag the lights through the body of the worm.
I hope he remembers to unplug it first.
The lights ain’t no fun if there ain’t some juice in em. Cats know this.
There’s some easy seed money in sending a bunch of people to Funderland, having them claim soft tissue damage, plus probably Tracee still has her wages saved up from Howlers.
So many possibilities.
Nope. TRACEEE is selling drones. To New Jersey.
Or maybe to Aliens. Space Aliens.
TRACEE is a sexy Technology Genius.
Think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr
Tracee is resourceful. But no tech genius. I suspect she has some other source of money.
Tracee has money? Has she been clever? 🙂 And Hannah knows?
Man, Daphne gathers loot like I do pieces of paper (some of which in books).
Hey, you gotta have your fingers in various pies. And have the stock necessary.
Nice way you’ve given Daphne a strong and valid reason to get involved in Satan’s business life
Impressive storytelling 🙂
I try. Things that work, from a story perspective, are often happy accidents. It’s hard to compose a really effective narrative in four-panel weekly chunks.
