I mean where is the lie?
>>153017772
Does Roger being dead make the Alds not care about their hatred of him anymore? If Bastion is hiding among these nerds, he didn't react to RFH being named.
>>153017853Yup, the tard rage ends as soon as the target is dead.
>>153017853IIRC, they remember the hatred they felt for him before and consider that to be good and natural, but they won't be compelled to react with further extreme bloodlust. Its like an internalized memory that they don't consider to be foreign to them or strange, and they'll continue to act on the basis that this is a belief they have always had, but its not are strong or as sharp as it was before.
>>153017853That's because Bastion isn't there. To answer your question though, it will make them stop throwing themselves at him without care for their own well-being or further plans, but they will eternally hate him and anything he stood for. It just mellows the hatred, similar to being far away from him while he was alive.
Website comment:>Two pages today. Ice cold and kakkoii~>~AshleyPatreon comment:>I think Duane lost his cool there to hear the Sharte chime in too. It's already obscenely hard to aim when you can't see your hand on the line, and anger clouded his already harried senses. Good try all the same! They're not gonna give you a second go though.>Man, Nora is such a polarizing character. I can find people saying she makes them want to stop reading, and people saying she's their new favourite villain. I just think she's fun. There's something special about a competent baddie who knows what she's doing and has pretty valid reasons for doing it. You kind of have no recourse but to punch them in the face because you're not going to win a war of words.>There's a brief missive on the site. I'll copy it here for your convenience:>[CLASSIFIED] "...led nowhere and so with confidence our office at the time reported to her Majesty that the conspiracy was limited to the Song Temple cadre, but we could never rule out wider involvement from Alderode's government. Did they not want a Soud Composer in place? Maybe. Something fishy about it all. Interestingly in the years since, a minor alliance began between Song Temple and those Tannery assassins, at least some of whom we know are criminal expats, including a pair from that smuggling ring in Hale. One of our agents was killed attempting to infiltrate, but our offices believe them responsible for a handful of high profile eliminations that have benefited Ssaelit interests. As tensions rise up there, we're certain these murderers will be further utilized.">--Private Communication from Secretary to the Royal Spellmaster, to Chief Engineer Nora Pris
>>153017853Tree and those kids sure didn't appreciate the Roger mention
>>153017772Okay, suspicious lady made these "Alds are not human" comments so she can distract Nora and the fat one and give Duane a chance, didn't she? Notice how she's the only one looking at Duane before he breaks his arm? She knew.
>>153017775lmao at dead head Duane>Duane must always look too cool
>>153018040>our offices believe them responsible for a handful of high profile eliminations that have benefited Ssaelit interestsThe Tannery is allied with the Ssaelits? Quelle surprise. When the court finally blows up with the rest of Durlyne things are going to get real juicy.
>>153017772>>153017775yeah that's definitely Bastion in disguise
I'm gonna feel real weird if that strawberry sharte babe really is revealed to be Bastion.
>>153018124I think this is partially because a few important people like Tree in the Tannery are Ssaelit themselves, partially because Tree saved Miki endearing himself to Lemuel, and partially because the "Song Temple Cadre" as its described first called on them to kill Duane so long ago. I would think it only natural that they've developed a good working relationship since. Especially when they're also the best assassins in town.
>>153018157Why, have you fapped to her?
>>153017775>they're putting duane in some medical simulacraWe're totally getting rebuilt robocop Duane sent off on the secret mission.
>>153018173N... N-no?
>>153017775>Duane lost his eye privilegeslmao
>>153017775Damn. No mouth, no eyes, complete sensory deprivation.
>>153018157Feels like people are so tunneled on it just because she's bright pink and stands out from the background.>>153018195It's a cruel punishment, but it is pragmatic. Much harder to cast if you can't see what you're casting on: materials or coordinates. >>153018177What do you figure the simulacra are going to be? I'm thinking replacement arms ending in proper holes for wrights to hold aspects in and that he can then have properly restrained without fear of snapping the bone to get out of this chair.
>>153018219I'm pretty sure the way the setting works means that he'll always have hearing, at least.
>>153018271Yep. Pretty sure the only way that a Kasslynian human would be able to be born deaf would be a khert mutation/injury caused by khert fire on top of a physical mutation or injury.
>>153018239>What do you figure the simulacra are going to beIts a bit confusing that there's two of them, it has a single scaffold? Simple answer would be artificial arms. He can't move his ghost ones around if they're stuck in unbreakable real arms
>>153018239>What do you figure the simulacra are going to be?Not him but since Sonorie will be in attendance I expect them to go extra hard with restraints. I'm more interested in why there are two of them. Who in the hell is going in the other one? Sette? Why bring both for just one plod?
>>153018239You're probably right on the arms at the very least, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than that since she's going to be trying to convince Sonorie that he's not just a plod.
>>153018390Simulacra are artificial body parts, medical devices like Duane's eyes and Toma's arm that plug directly into your soul.
>>153018390The simulacra should be prosthetics, not the restraints. Like picrel
they're giving duane two dicks
>>153017853This city is well outside the Dammakhert so the effect wouldn't take hold. But even then I'm starting to doubt she's Bastion simply because Duane is being moved to where it would be more difficult for them to get alone time after his stunt.Alternatively, maybe he's so helpless now that security gets lax. I suppose we'll see.
What if the red lady is simply working with Bastion?
>>153018865
>>153018908>This city is well outside the Dammakhert so the effect wouldn't take holdanon the events of the first book's finale largely hinge on the fact that Alds were going apeshit over Roger in the very city that this scene takes place in.
>>153018908Once the Etalarche effect has taken hold within an Ald's soul, it stays with them even if the leave the DK.In fact, they can also infect others Alds with it outside the DK.It's only the isolated khert of Juste that seems to have a way to disable its effect.
>>153018908The Aldish soul carries with them a part of the dammakhert inside it, two Alds meeting outside of Alderode, one of which having never seen another Ald or set foot in Alderode since conception, will still spread the curse from one to the other reliably. We also just saw a bunch of soldiers well outside the dammakhert go crazy over Roger.>>153018941What if she's just a lady who's particularly gaudy and into pink?
>>153018970That threw me off. I remember reading that Juste would relive its effects and must have assumed it'd hold true for anywhere outside Alderode.I must have thought whichever city Lemuel got captured at spread the Dammakhert far enough it'd effect them at Morstorben. But it's been a little bit since I read the last two chapters so I probably got some things mixed up.
>>153018972>What if she's just a lady who's particularly gaudy and into pink?Sharte-women of Gaudy Style? I don't think they exist.
>>153017772There's enough self loathing here with Pinkie's mention of being appendages for "Only a Cause™" of another, that I'm starting to buy heavily into her being Bastion.
>>153017772>>153017775So what did he try to do here anyway
>>153020193Broke off his arm that was stuck in the khert blocker and then tried to cast on nora with his soul arm.No way to know what specifically he was trying to cast but you can probably assume it was unpleasant.
>>153018304Wait, why's that? Did Cope mention something about hearing that differs from sight/touch/taste?
>>153020436
>>153017772>>153017775Poor show, Duane. You should've waited a bit to calm down and take advantage of an actual opening.
>>153018195I don't actually think he's quite as sad about that as he makes out. He wanted his eyes back to make a kill attempt. He got rattled and squandered it.
>>153020593Another L for Alderode.I don't see pinky as Bastion since we don't know where his tango with Darkest Paul went, and the consequences from tping with another living being could be gruesome. Just give me BALDstion already Ashley. Pinky is probably there for another reason than a plod exam though, she's been glazing Nora at every turn. Maybe she just needs a bite out of that crescian pussy ?
>>153017853The hatred never goes away, but it's no longer urgent and demanding action. Bastion's already been contaminated by Etelarche, and though he wouldn't spazz out, he'd probably have some reaction of disgust thinking about him.
>>153017772looks nice
>>153017772>>153017775If this is the mean thing Nora was meant to do at the end of the scene, it's not so bad. He did just try to kill her.
>>153017772>>153017775Honestly, Duane, you couldn't even kill one of the goths or the fat dude? Half-assed!
>>153021956I doubt it's the eyes or restraints. My guess is that it's either dismissing Alds as non-human hollow people like Duane did to the kept twins, or that it's yet to come.
I'll try ghost arm, that's a good trick.
>>153017775I'll give Nora credit, Brawny Leg and Donnavieve look fucking terrified in that page. She ain't bothered none.
>>153021956I think that was Ashley talking about the end of the chapter, not the end of the scene. The meanest thing from Nora is yet to come, can't wait for the thread to be full of people saying they're dropping the comic
>>153017772OK.He can manifest a soul arm.But we're all missing the IMPORTANT part.Can he manifest a soul DICK.Can he JERK OFF his SOUL DICK with his SOUL ARM?Once he starts soul jerking it, could anyone STOP him??
>>153019099heh
>>153023544>Can he manifest a soul DICK.No. Dicks don't have ports. His soul really only has reference for the parts of him that have ports. Since his (body) arm was displaced from his (soul) arm by breaking it, he was able to free his soul arm from the restraints to use its port for casting. No similar feat can be done with his dick without the benefit of Sessine's mind fuckery, or how he sees himself in the khert. Skinside he'll always be neuter.
>>153023916>Dicks don't have ports.buddy...
>>153023239The meaner the thing she does, the more horrific the comeuppance. Bring it on.
He's totally Ssaelpilled and lichmaxxing.
>>153017772OK Donnavieve is pandering to Nora way too much. I'm not a Bastion stock buyer but there's something going on there.
>>153023916>>153024176Dicks don't have Pymary ports, so the other anon is absolutely right. But just like Tacit casters have an extra port connected to their brain to cast spells nonverbally, surely there are mutants with an extra pymary port in their dickI'd guess a majority of them were fucked to death by Senets who enjoyed spicy mutant dick
>>153025298It was a joke about pussy you little freak.
>>153025350I'm quite sure the few non-freaks left fucked off after the giant man-snake rape-murder scene
>>153025350fuck off back to your containment board, this thread is about mutant dicks that can have ghosts and fuck the shit out of senets now
>>153025459I don't think ports have any special effects on the senets. But maybe there are ghost dicks that can interact with ghosts the same way Bastion has special ghost eyes that can see them? Maybe with a mutant port in your junk you can fuck eels and squishes.
>>153025512Who knows what an extra port could do in influencing some Senets khert fieldIf anything there'd probably be something similar to Rahms aspect leech where he lost the visual side of his legs, Duane mentioned he met a kid who was cursed to ever smell of vinegarThere has to be someone with an extra aspect affecting their dick, at least rumored about
>>153025594Imagine being the poor soud girl who gets stuck married to ol' vinegar dick. And because you're a good Ssaelit you know that you're required to make as many children with him as possible. But you wish you knew just enough pymary to make him smell of anything else.
>>153025709you never knowmaybe she was a weirdo who spent their whole childhood hearing their mother yell, "shut up girl its impossible for you to marry a pickle"
>>153025709The girl who marries him would likely be considered defective in some way herself because every other girl who could would escape a marriage with him. Poor vinegar dick might have ended up with a freak himself.
>>153026359Alds do love their fermented foods. >>153026650Sure, but would she be bad enough to deserve that?
>>153026686Deserve's got nothing to do with it. At best one can hope vinegar dick and wife can find solace despite their circumstance.
