OOTS #623 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[AlterForm]

This ought to be good. Wonder if we'll get to see the fruits of V's menial labor?

[SwordOfUriel]

God, those books are *everywhere*! What, is there a Barnes & Noble on that desert island?

[Lokasenna]

And a switch back to V. Nice.

It's interesting to see that for V, trancing is the same as having a bad dream. Apparently V hasn't hooked up with Qaar yet, if this follows chronological after 622.

[shaddy_24]

Wow, poor V. That memory must be painful.

[Lykainon]

I must say, I'm a bit suprised that V would read anything labled as "for dummies". I wouldn't think he/she would read anything less then "Finding Plot-Holes for geniuses" or something.

Nice comic, though.

[Kroy]

Nice new comic. It came out within seconds of me getting on! Hopefully this will answer some of the many questions on the forum about what happened to V.

[Migue]

Update while i was online so i guess we are back with V again

[The Berkeleian]

Oh, YES. (Hurray for breaking the fourth wall!!)

[T-O-E]

Ah, so that explains it.

[Darth Mario]

And thus V's mental breakdown is explained in one fell swoop.

[Arctic]

I must say, I'm a bit suprised that V would read anything labled as "for dummies". I wouldn't think he/she would read anything less then "Finding Plot-Holes for geniuses" or something.

"I must not engage in any demanding mental tasks."

Great comic, 'loved it.

[Euron]

I don't recall if it was mentioned, but can Qarr cast illusions? If so, he might not even care about V, only use his image to get aboard the boats instead.

[hamishspence]

Very nice. And it looks like V is still Well Intentioned.

[kreszantas]

finally a decent answer... until it gets yanked out from under us like a rug... Explains the escape verywell

[TerrickTerran]

Interesting little comic and nice to see V again. Now we need to see where the Giant is heading with hir.

[Thorin]

Hunting nightmares... poor V

[xyzzy]

I can't wait for more on Vaarsuvius!

[kirbsys]

Poor V, that would really suck watching people die when you should have the power to save them, but don't.

[bue52]

Ok, I will have to say...... V is still gonna be evil if he doesn't learn to overcome that memory. Though now.... like redcloack there is a reason to his/her "evil intentions".... guilt.

[Yiuel]

I never thought V would be that compassionate for other people.

I would hate having the dream V is having constantly.

(And it completely explains V's unexplainable attitude. Good people, when haunted by painful thoughts like these, can go insane. is desperate.)

[Nevitan]

Poor V, although this doesn't really get Hir any compassion from me.
Oh, and thanks for the clarification on the spell situation Giant.

[DanShive]

Poor V... He did so much during that battle

[Assassin89]

Apparently V's breakdown was due more to failing to protect everyone who depended on him, a category in which Haley would be included. There is a possibility of V making a sacrifice trying to bring those soldiers back.

[Kastanok]

Well that explains it Also now it's entirely cleared up how V is regaining spells with trancing - the small print is everything.

[Dacia Brabant]

Hmm, well that explains that, though I'm surprised V just stood there speechless instead of saying something like "I'm out of spells!"

Enter Qarr, stage left, let the temptation to greater power begin.

[Lira]

Oh, poor V. I was wondering if (s)he was having nightmares.

On the plus side, I just won a bet with my friend thanks to this new strip.

[Mauve Shirt]

Back to V! Hooray!
At least he got some "sleep".

[ericgrau]

Ok, I will have to say...... V is still gonna be evil if he doesn't learn to overcome that memory. Though now.... like redcloack there is a reason to his/her "evil intentions".... guilt.

Dang, I didn't make it in before the alignment debates. Anywayz, I don't buy it. Even if V is/will-be evil (and I'm not saying if she is), it hand-waves over the real plot.

This comic's deep. I like.

[Wolfprint]

I think "engage" was misspelt as "enganged".
