Description:>The childhood misadventures of the Dreamkeepers cast are here. Before contending with nightmarish evil they faced off against drunken sharks, psychotic tutors, and vindictive school girls- but not without odd allies.First discussion thread:>>153231004DreamKeepers Volume #1: Awakenings>>153311164DreamKeepers Volume #2: Flight to Starfall>>153325043
Dreamkeepers Prelude #7 - Mace & Whip Arc 4: Pathological VirtueDescription:>Bobby takes matters into his own hands to save the orphans. But will his intentions be enough to tilt the scales away from disaster?DreamKeepers Volume #3: Intentions Entwined>>153341640DreamKeepers Volume #4: Descent to the Archives>>153358737DreamKeepers Volume #5: Assassin's Flaw>>153388492Prelude: Collection 1>>153420901
>>153454269Bobby sexo in the second page!
>>153454288This is what happens when you elope for a night and leave the crazies in charge, Robert.
>>153454325"Work", right...
>>153454357Is it possible to get any lower than Grunn?
>>153454423Grunn FEARS Vi.
>>153454443Macebros...
>>153454462Everyone kinda hates Mace I've noticed. Like, they'd rather be anywhere other than where he is.
>>153454754He is a spaz, so that's a valid reason
>>153454754They all kinda hate each other, life sucks but you can't choose your family/orphanagemates Well actually that's kinda what adoption is isn't it. Still, not the orphans that get to choose. Also Mace causes a lot of trouble.
>>153454533Dreamkeepers really seem to be worse parents than humans on average. Kinda impressive, in a fucked up way.
>>153454800Serves Bobby right for trusting a random woman
>>153454800Bobby...
That'll be all for now, I shall return tomorrow to storytime the rest of Collection 2.
That really makes me wonder what is the criteria for a kid to end up on the orphanage, does that mean all of them have potential or is it just Troika grabbing whowever they can to become future soldiers?
>>153455045How did Randy end up there?
I still don't see why it has to be Grunn that runs the orphanage>>153455045Presumably something special, maybe with a few normal kids for cover. I don't think anyone was picking out the midget twins for their general duty soldiering potential>>153455144Dude has a broken as shit power even if he's the biggest twat
>>153455213He really suck at any work at the base so they let him be a slob there plus his harsh treatment will tough 'em up a little for the future meat grinder
>>153455213Only Randy seems to have a broken power and no one believes Mace is the chosen one. Also sticking your potential recruits in a shitty orphanage does not seem like the best recruitment strategy. Why does the orphanage have to be shitty?
Don't bother looking for logic from this series. This is a world in which apparently the guy in charge might get in major trouble and thrown out of office if people figure out he had a daughter from another woman, but no one would give a flying fuck to find out one of the government funded orphanages does piss all and just collects the money. Because being immoral is a big no-no, but being absolutely incompetent is no biggie.Don't even get me started on his official daughter who sees her sister literally locked away and never even tries to do anything about it, but totally cares. Like most things in the lore/plot, the creator had an idea and then tried to make sense of it later on.
>>153455355So, just like in real life?
>>153455355Anon this is perfectly logical and similar things happen irl all the time lmao
>>153455213>I still don't see why it has to be Grunn that runs the orphanageMost of the other members of Troika can probably tolerate kids even LESS than Grunn does, Igrath is a wanted man, Scinter would try to teach them to kill in less than a couple hours (and is an extremely wanted man), and by the time Bobby joins formally and is old enough that he could have been their legal caretaker after getting his shit together, he's too busy training and running missions to actually do so. As unfortunate as it is to say, Grunn is their best and only option for not blowing things, at least by this point in time.
>>153454884>Whip tells me thingsMaybe you should blame Whip for this instead, Bobby.
>>153456755There's hundreds of them, at least dozensput the stripper twins in charge or something
>>153456859......I think he's the only guy who's willing to put up with them.
>>153456859>put the stripper twins in charge or something>putting the strippers in charge of a bunch of horny teenagers with barely any actual morals yetGreat idea. Nothing could go wrong here.
>>153454754It’s more that he’s a reckless constant troublemaker so people give him a wide berth. Like we saw in the last thread the other orphans were fine being his friends until he constantly got them into trouble with Grunn.
>>153456755Shame he gets more than what he's bargain for later down the line.
>>153458817Eh, he knew what he was getting involved in.
>>153455144Well, considering the magnitude of the bet he made with Evzen and now that we know who Evzen's father is, safe to say Randy fucked over his own father by giving away that he was doing business with "The Bandits". So either CPS or his own father dumped Randy at whatever orphanage was available to take him.
>>153459003more likely that Randy's father is dead and he really is an orphan. Might be he just lost in the cutthroat business/politics world of Andurunna and got assassinated
>>153452490Damon being a family man is a bit surprising after seeing him in the nightclub in Vol 3Also imagine losing your citizenship and getting fucking unpersoned in a single day because your bosses side chick threw a tantrum. Joining Troika was really his last hope to feed his family
>>153460052>Joining Troika was really his last hope to feed his familyToo bad there's a distinct risk of getting his body and soul eaten by a cosmic horror or getting rotted alive from the toes up by a mass-murdering demon worshiping serial killer. But them's the brakes.
>>153454730Could explain her obsession with appearance>>153452886This guy is not even a furry just an animal, same species as Whip?
>>153452928>has the senators and politicians waiting for hours while he plays mini golfbased honestly
>>153454800>trusting evil whore foidsSensitive young men like Bobby ought to know better
>>153454800the girl from the orphanage is evil, can't be helped.but vi kicking him in the balls before figuring out whats going on is too much
>>153460673Vi has another reason for crashing out that we'll find out in Collection 3
>>153454187i wish i can download the pdf.
>>153452670Third dinosaur character after Karo the microrapter and the triple headed T Rex Nightmare with Arazu
They are so cute together
>>153455045My biggest question is: Shouldn't children soldiers be trained since, you know, childhood?
>>153455045>>153461841the orphanage was just a cover for grunn, not meant for recruitment, vi and bobby getting in was probably just because of them figuring it out.
>>153461915Karo's cast page does imply the orphanage was Scinter idea in getting a child-soldier army
>>153461915No Mace explicitly states that children taken into Grunn's office never return. We know that Karo used to be an orphan in the same orphanage >>153422816. Grunn teleports multiple times between the Troika base and his office basement. They're definitely taking the more promising orphans and recruiting them once they come of age. It explains why the orphanage is blacklisted, the Troika dump lost and abandoned kids there to later groom them into their army.
>>153462003bump
>>153461993>>153462003Yes, Scinter is just fucked up.
>>153462911He's a pragmatist to an almost suicidal fault. Between getting screwed out of being the biggest tech billionaire in the city's history and barely surviving against the perfect assassin, it's no wonder he only cares about results now.
>>153462911Damn, David is still my favourite artist for reasons like pic related.
>>153462911Dave rather post those pseudo spoilers to make the wait more painful than finish Volume 6
>>153461915>"The first of Grunn's orphans to become dangerously unruly, Karo is patient zero in Scinter's experimental child-soldier army. What better way to avoid all those parental permission slips? Weapons-grade enthusiasm makes Karo the perfect candidate to fight (or drink) his way to victory."From the cast page. Even more confirmation that the orphanage is quite literally Scinter's way to build up an army beneath the notice of Nabondius and the Dark Dreamkeepers.
>>153462911Whered you get these from, twitter or patreon or discord? I dont think these are on the official webpage
>>153463624Xitter
>>153453218So why is he reading these, is he borrowing them for his dad? And why hide it? Not sure on the timeline and when his dad becomes a leader of the "bandits" but maybe this is just before his dad decides to split off?
>>153463737the rich girls talked about driving his dad out of business and he's reading up on it>why hide itlilith is too beautiful, he's just spilling his spaghetti
>>153463737>>153464079It was Randy, when he quit the dare that threatened to have his dad quit working with Evzen's dad and used vague implications of broken regulations to back it up.DESU I'm not sure the timeline really works out, but I think the idea is supposed to be that sometime between the prequel and main comic some shit went down with Ezven's dad and the other merchants allied with him that resulted in Northhavenville splitting off and Randy's parents dying and him getting sent to the orphanage, but it's a pretty weird amount of shit to happen in only a few years and Randy never mentions anything about it in the main comic.
>>153464205Guess he aleeady told them he doesn't feel like talking about it. Also, I like to think his parents disappeared without him instead of dying.
>>153464205>but it's a pretty weird amount of shit to happen in only a few yearsConsidering all the shit going down in the background, it wouldn't surprise me if Randy's parents disappearing (or "disappearing") was all a part of some larger scheme.>and Randy never mentions anything about it in the main comic.Why would he? For all that he's a narcissistic blowhard, I think Randy wouldn't be the type to bring up what became of his parents or his life before or that he'd instead internalize it and try to cope by doubling down on his worst traits.
>>153465841randy doesn't seem to be important until nabonidus accidentally sees him
>>153464495>they're living happily in northhavenville, drinking illegal fermentae at barbeques with Evzen's dad>Just left Randy behind because he was annoying>>153465841I dunno, he really doesn't seem like the type to keep quiet about it. If he used to live in the tower and be a rich kid bullying people with connections you'd think he'd be lording that over the other orphans constantly.
Dreamkeepers Prelude #8 - Vanth & Bast Arc 1: Flight PlanDescription:>Her wings prevent her from engaging in normal activities- but there's one things it should unlock. More than anything Vanth wants to fly. And more than anything, her friends & family want to keep her from plummeting to certain tragedy!
do a flip
Taking a short break afore we start issue 9
>>153466480>>153466502Guess she was always reckless.
Vanth's mom is STACKED
>>153466605>making an 11 year old have to tardwrangle a suicidal fool for a monthEvery adult in this setting is such a piece of shit.
>>153466627Look at that noodleWould
>>153466740>>153466774>weird lizard guy + bunny = batDreamkeepers, how the fuck do they work?
>>153466888Yeah, I can definitely believe Vanth is the type of idiot to get herself trapped in a life of crime.
>>153467099Vanth's dad is very lucky
>>153467210Also have to explain Namah since she is a fucking Gecko when her parents are a Mink and a Lion.
Dreamkeepers Prelude #9 - Lilith & Namah Arc 4: Birthday BashedDescription:>Lilith overhears an earth-shattering bombshell about her secret sister- and venturing to confirm it with her father, witnesses something even worse. Meanwhile Tinsel shows her dangerous side to the maid, as Namah reluctantly learns to negotiate.
>>153467210their body is based on their humans subconscious I think, genetics have nothing to do with it
you do have to wonder what kind of fucked up mind produces "bat that can't fly" though
This one is a bit confusing to read.
>>153467650uh oh
>>153467493This will not help Lilith's self-esteem.
anyway to download this collection2?
>>153467764It's free on the official website anon. Someone managed to rip one of the volumes in a single file in a previous thread. Or you could just save every image I upload.
>>153467503I'm just now realizing that Woods here is one of the oldest (not counting immortals) cast members at 33. Man does NOT look his age at all.
>>153467590At least Calah tried...? I might be giving the man a bit too much credit though.
>>153467633I can see where Namah gets it from.
>>153467824He's younger in the prequels obviously.
>>153467900Well yeah. But he hardly looks any different in the modern day, is the thing. Dreamkeepers age immaculately.
>>153467772>claudicant bumblersThat's a new one.
A double reference here, see if you can catch it.
>>153467853>At least Calah tried...? I might be giving the man a bit too much credit though.I suppose he still has some sort of guilt for the kid, he could easily just dump her in some hidden house somewhere with a fake family.
>>153467808I cannot imagine being so down bad for pussy you tolerate Tinsel's tantrums like this. Surely Calah has even an ounce of self-respect in that sea-slug he calls a spine.
>>153467878>Calah in that 5th panelMy fucking sides.
>>153467941I've been an avid reader since childhood and know too many obscure words, and I'm somehow learning new ones here.
>>153467900>>153467919...Calah, why the fuck would you hire anyone who looks like THAT??
>>153467954The FNAF and DHMIS crossover we never knew we needed.
>>15346782433 is not that old
>>153468093He's DECREPIT. Any GOOD Dreamkeeper knows you're meant to die in glorious battle at the ripe age of 21.
>>153468067I mean, she ain't wrong
>>153468023>Do you take me for a fool?Do you want an honest answer or the funny one?
>>153468053>oh so we can't use our powers but this bitch can because she's rich, famous, and fucking the Viscount?
Har har har har har har har har har
>>153468067I don't want to agree with Tinsel, but she kinda has a point.
>>153468113Well, Bill does radiate some pretty strong bottom energy...
>>153468207There's no way Woods isn't the bottomHe's got handlebars
>>153468161>you require sex educationWhere is Calah hiring these people from?!
>>153468204Oh so the last one was just a literal sex offender.
>>153468178namah is the fucking bestI hope they torture tinsel to death
>>153468298Tinsel's death will either be very anti-climatic or incredibly funny. No inbetween.
>>153468368Total Tinsel Death.
>>153468386NABONIDUS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.Also Calah is a retard for letting the woman who got his predecessor's entire career destroyed worm her way into his life. >>153468407>she leftAka "Tinsel had her murdered and her body dumped in a trash compactor somewhere".
Another short break before we start issue 10
>>153468118>>153468169How? Just because Mulliebral is paid a salary doesnt mean she isnt allowed to have an opinion on her employers abusing their children
>>153468446Its interesting how many of the main cast are orphans even ignoring the characters from the orphanage
>>153468169none whatsoeverthe staff treat the kids as well as they possibly can given the circumstances.the circumstances are created by tinsel.bill might just be the closest thing namah ever had to a friend.
>>153468441So Igrath and Nainso are up to something. Evzen goes to the same school as Lilith so his dad isnt a bandit yet. But the strippers are already Igrath's agents so he must be colluding with Scinter.Unless Ive got it backwards and Evzen joins Lilith's school after the "bandit" war is finished and Northhaven is founded
>>153467562Nobody knows what governs that.
>>153468116I think we're getting a little personal here.
>>153468510Actions speak louder than words, she can have all the opinions she wants but she still keeps quiet and collects her pay instead of actually trying to change anything. There's things she could do but doesn't because the cost to her would be too big, like go to the media, let Namah escape, or just refuse to be involved and quit. Which, to be clear, isn't really a condemnation of her, you make the decisions that you think work out best for everybody, and you are part of everybody, you have to weigh downsides and upsides and self destructive behavior that might not even help isn't always the right choice. But at the same time, they are complicit, just because you could be replaced so quitting won't inherently solve the problem doesn't mean you aren't involved. They, personally, are the ones actually holding the keys even if it is on behalf of her parents.If Tinsel decided she didn't need the blackmail any more and the Viscount was going to have Namah disposed of, would they risk their livelihood and lives to prevent it? If it happened before they were aware of it, would they keep just doing their jobs and doing what they can to make it up to Lilith?
Dreamkeepers Prelude #10 - Mace & Whip Arc 5: The Pants Are Off ForeverDescription:>No description has been entered for this issue.This issue has no title or description. I found the title on the comic page, but the issue itself is lacking it. Seems like an error.
>She said the title
Sorry for the abrupt pause, had internet woes.
Sharks don't even have dicks
>>153469369Your animal autism is misplaced and does not fit here.
>>153468204Woodsbros, Bill is cooler than us...
>>153468933That definitely sounds like a cause for table-punching.
>>153468955Bobby hates being the only adult around here, but someone has to do it.
>>153468970RELEASE THE SHARK COCK
>>153469009Bobby, you cannot empathize with the deranged.
>>153469062Being Bobby is suffering.
>>153469367Maybe Bobby should get with the program and lose the pants as well.
>>153469836Control yourself, Vi.
>>153469441>Whip: My secret is safe...
>>153469453>Krin's plan is just to give Grunn stuff whenever he misbehavesWe've got a genius over here.
>>153469541Guys, I'm starting to think Anduruna is a dangerous place.
>>153469940High sexual tension
>>153469835>>153469851This is what happens when you screw whores, Bobby.
>>153469940Soon they will also be losing the pants.
>>153469956The Macebullying continues.
>>153470033She's gonna kill him.
>>153470056I'm not sure it's actually possible for her wrists to look skinnier, they would disappear
>>153470214They love giving Mace shit, but they're all somehow even bigger disasters. What the fuck was Bobby thinking?
>>153470226narp is really the only intelligent oneno wonder he's like that
>>153470243Narp is the only one who questioned Randy sudden dark alliance being sinister as hell
>>153470259OH NO THEY'RE MAKING IT WORSE
>>153470267He's not the only one but he was the first and loudest.
>>153470286Hey, at least Bobby can't blame Mace for this particular fuckup.
>>153470294Jesus, Vi, just wit for a while before making a move
>>153470312Being Bobby is pure suffering
End of Collection 2. That's all for today.

>>153470346Well look at that. Mace saved the day. Macehaters btfo
>>153470302GIRL SLAY
>>153470294You have hit rock-bottom, it's over Bobby.
>>153470312>can't even drown his sorrowsThis man is on the brink of a cosmic scale crashout.
>>153470329What are ya' gonna do with that knoife, Bobby.
>>153468933legendary panels
>>153468713You make some good points anon but the consequences are so severe that Namah’s situation-as bad as it is-doesn’t warrant risking the consequences.When the girls escape Tinsel’s first assassination attempt she throws a fit and fires the guards. And then it turns out they weren’t just fired, they were unpersoned, all their documents and records and papers and accounts destroyed, they can never get back in the system, it’s why they fall into Troika. All this because Tinsel needed to take her rage out on someone, imagine if they went to the media or helped Namah escape, Tinsel would probably torture them to death. She makes that clear when she uses her Power while confronting Mulienral or whatever the fuck the maids name is
>>153466605Let’s try and iron out the timeline.Here Harmony is 11, we’ll assume Vanth is the same or a similar age. In the main series Vanth is 16, so that’s a 4 year tineskip, 5 to be generous. When do the toll wars with Evzens dad happen again?
>>153467792>a previous thread. Or you could just save every image I upload.can you repost the link?
I don't know if this is some sort of stealth strategy on Dave's part, or not. The printed Prelude volumes are SO crisp. That is how the art was meant to look to the eye. I get that you give people free shit in lower quality, but I think Dave actually simply forgot to reupload the pages in SLIGHTLY higher resolution. Like, no need to go high quality, just make the pages 20% less pixelated/blurry.
>>153472233To drive the point home with actual examples.
>>153472472
>>153472490Crapple iPhone's tiny camera cannot do much real zoom, so focusing on the entire image this close was impossible. You could see the blurriness of the text contrasting with how perfect the rest of the panel is.
>>153472521Lesson learned: even if the photo looks right, open then rotate un-rotate and save.I still think small chest Vi is hecking valid.
I'm sure Mace fans will love this one (before being arrested).
>>153471385It’s this I think >>153364466
>>153472472>>153472490Damn that's nice.
>>153462911Better be more prepared for the upcoming Void invasion.
A few select extra photos.
This one is for anon who likes child Lilith a little too much.
Also did 2 Whip reaction faces. Slightly adjusted the lighting in both.
>>153469369Yes they dohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clasper

>>153454187Shit I haven't thought about this in years. I remember ordering the first volume and there being an issue with shipping and the dude took the time to talk with me through email about resolving it.
>>153476285Scinter isn't a good guy.
>>153477761He is - he's just overly pragmatic and doesn't let morals compromise his mission.
>>153477297>>153477301He does look a bit like Bobby
>>153468395Hopefully she'll get what's coming to her.
