OOTS #529 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[ThePhantom]

I thought it needed to be zapped!

[Querzis]

Well look like she cant see him after all. Thats some really funny irony in the last panel.

[kpenguin]

Not even lightning?

[Zakama]

Wow, that was great. I wonder what Ceila's reaction will be though.

[Zimmia]

"Good thing there wasn't a real emergency then"

I laughed so loud I got the attention of everyone left in the office!!

[Kyeudo]

Giant, you are evil. My money was on Cecelia seeing Roy, but apparently you couldn't resist proving the whole forum wrong.

Guess we've narrowed down the plot options though. Must be a "touch the sword" solution.

Wait, have they tried Speak with Dead yet?

[Souju]

You foolish elementals always assume everyone follows the same rules as you LOL.

[greecetrap]

Laughed SO hard. xD

[kentma57]

yes 11!!!! Great comic... everyone expected here to see Roy so everyone expected her to not see Roy...

[Bitzeralisis]

Does this mean Roy got indirectly killed by Celia? ... Well, I'm off to ponder my baseless logic. Ciao!

[Half-blood]

wow... I would be PISSED if I were roy, but I would also be dead so...yeah.

in other news, Would celia really be THAT Naive concerning humans? but I'm not a sylph so I wouldn't know.

[ralphmerridew]

Next update, Haley: Want to go see Roy now? He's in that room.

[Retief]

Wow. I got home today and found the last one, and got this one this evening-two in one day! Great strip not including the timing though. I love it.

[The Extinguisher]

Roy's taking this rather well for someone who just discovered he could have lived had his girlfriend not critically failed her Knowledge (Humans) check.

[RandomLogic]

Oh man the Giant is cranking out the comics! Fantastic!

Also thats hilarious, not even lightning.... Celia's comment about needing it in the last panel is also excellent.

[Ryuuk]

Roy's reaction was great, "...or bonds of mutual lust at least"

[Hectonkhyres]

Damn. This revelation can't be good for anybody's mental health. I think this is a case of acute 'my DM is an ass' syndrome. Easily fixed with little more than a baseball bat to the head.

And are you telling me it has been the better prt of a year and she hasn't even checked up on Roy once? Dear gods, she should be able to teleport into his bedchambers every day after school if she wanted to. Thats what teleporting is for!

[Alfryd]

New comic is up.

Pretty Good.
'The Bonds of Mutual Lust'. There is hope yet! ...or at least no further crushing of hope.

Interestingly, the aesthetic conscience takes the form of a tiny Michaelangelo sitting on one shoulder, arguing with a tiny Jackson Pollock sitting on the other. (The slaad sides with Pollock.)

I take it you are no friend of the abstract expressionists, then. Interestingly, I read a Scientific American article, where they apparently managed to reproduce his style via a mechanical apparatus attached to tree branches and powered by wind.

No, seriously.

[Lira]

Oh dear . That was hilarious. I loved Roy's line in the first panel too.

Spoiler

Show

I wonder if the cloister spell will prevent Celia from being able to leave. It seems likely.

[hajo]

Would celia really be THAT Naive concerning humans?

She has been like that before, when she arrived for the trial

[Yendor]

Celia looks so cute in her pajamas.

[Demented]

So much for Knowledge (Summoning Amulets).
And Knowledge (Humans).
But Knowledge (Dramatic Irony) is doing very fine. ;)

[turkishproverb]

She has been before, when she arrived at the trial

Hey, there were sparks when she went out with Roy, weren't there?

[Phae Nymna]

"You can't?" I laughed so hard at that one. Anyway, great comic Mr. BrooksBurlew!

[Surfing HalfOrc]

To quote Leo DeCaprio from "The Quick and the Dead."

"Wow, that was fast!"

[Fitzclowningham]

I wonder why Haley didn't tell Celia Roy was dead. I mean, she's going to, right?

[farland]

Hilarious

[Bag_of_Holding]

I wonder why Haley didn't tell Celia Roy was dead. I mean, she's going to, right?

I'm afraid so...

[The Giant]

I take it you are no friend of the abstract expressionists, then.

Quite the opposite. I simply see Pollock as the equal-and-opposite of the Renaissance painter.

Interestingly, I read a Scientific American article, where they apparently managed to reproduce his style via a mechanical apparatus attached to tree branches and powered by wind.

No, seriously.

Yes, well, considering there is evidence that he may have been painting in fractals years before Chaos Theory was even invented, that's hardly surprising. It's not that the wind duplicated a Jackson Pollock that's interesting; what's interesting is that Jackson Pollock duplicated the wind.

And any more discussion than that will end up derailing my own thread, so it will have to remain at that.
