Fabricated posted:No he pretty much wanted to rape her. First thing he says to her after he gets loose and grabs her is a reference to taking her virginity. No, it wasn't a euphemism. It was literal. He ate his own clothes, he tried to chomp off Sette's fingers, and then he took a bite out of her before Duane showed up again. Come on, man, try to understand the nuances present here.

I thought it was obvious he was going to do both- I agree with Fabricated about that bit of dialogue sounding rather rapey, but the big sharp teeth, biting/licking stuff, and the fact that the memory-ladies all had bits missing indicated to me that he likes to get his mack on and rape on at the same time. ...  Moving on, we're back to Jivi/Quigley/Black Tongues, and Iori is starting to give me a bit of a creepy vibe. I mean, based on what we've heard about the Black Tongues it would be surprising if they weren't at least morally gray, but in the first few pages she appeared I was kinda hoping she was just a nice lady who happens to be married to a mad scientist. Not in this comic I guess!

Either Duane or Murkoph most likely; if he's been spying on that place magically he's definitely seen the former and quite possibly the latter as well.

Well it's obviously Duane now. I had misread Rahm's "it" at first and thought he was watching a monster for fifty years, when instead he was referring to the khert

Well that doesn't look pretty. Also that Quigley would talk about the Black Tongues like that but work with Starfish... Hm. Meanwhile I'm wondering if the "perversion" is meant to be Sette, rather than Duane. She is the one who first entered the Khert and all. Wonder what's up with her, really, seeing as she's so different from, well, most everyone else. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Oct 28, 2013 |

It's quite clear in my opinion she is the monster/perversion/thing not properly handled by the khert. She's the one who stayed inside the khert for a while, keeping it open all that time.

Tollymain posted:I guess that Uaid is even more of an experimental superweapon thing than we first figured. The model in front of Matty in the first panel was supposed to be Uaid's finished form. Vienne got offed before she could finish building him - he's not complete. Also, I wonder if Sette could manipulate things directly inside the khert itself because she was pulled in body and all, whereas everything else in the khert is, uh, khertish? All spectral and stuff. I wonder if she could still do it if only her personality was pulled in, though I'd imagine you have to be dead for that to happen.

Cat Mattress posted:Ashley Cope has a creepy quota to fill in each page. But go back and look at almost every single flashback involving her father; he's weirdly rough with her (and not just the expected stuff like clonking her for starting to mouth off to Bastion or just general white-trash style parenting) and she's actively blocking it out. I remember this because one of the panels where he's telling her what to do, he grabs her hair threateningly and there's all these crossouts and squiggles over it like Sette's blocking it out. edit: Eh why not look again to be sure. The ticketing system where I work fell over and we can't do anything right now anyway.  Look at the bottom right-hand corner.

Regarding Sette and her dad: I just think she's trying to ignore the evident signs of lovely parenting on her dad's part. She still kinda idolizes him and the family, so I guess she's in denial about how bad her father actually is.

Ya. Sette's background is one of the unknowns of the comic right now. It's pretty clear that her "dad" doesn't treat her nearly as well as she remembers/tells it.

See my interpretation of that scene and a few earlier was that he kicked the poo poo out of her and banished her and the zombie (or something) and she concocted a convoluted narrative about her importence to him out of love. This stuff is also why I don't think there's going to be any shortage of grown men abusing children as character motivation in this tale.

That at least probably isn't the case. Sette's in-character Formspring has her talking about Nary a lot, and their relationship seems pretty complicated; Nary obviously doesn't care about her half as much as she thinks, but he's more than willing to educate her about how the Frummagems function and interacts with her a lot (like in the comic, Sette doesn't shut up with quotes from the guy). The man isn't some half-witted thug, despite the company he keeps, and he knows how useful someone like Sette can be in his corner. At the same time, Sette clams up whenever the physical abuse is mentioned. Whatever the reason is for those scrawled-out panels, it'd probably explain why there's a clear note of desperation in Sette's desire to impress her dad.

Their family is pretty violent overall, and the culture they exist in is similarly violent. Sette's dad probably justifies what he does as toughening her up so she can be ready to run the family business after she murders him for it. (Which he expects her to do soomeday. That's how he got the business from his father in the first place, if I recall properly.) Edit: Found the relevant Formspring stuff: Ashley Cope posted:His da never thought he'd be thief-lord, that's for sure. Nary was always smarter than everyone else around him - too smart - and not all that interested in the family business. Thinking he might one day make a good accountant or even consigliere, his father sent Nary to the capital for an education, but he got mixed up a few years later with the Foolscap family, an organisation that makes problems disappear for Sharteshane's elite. Nary started skipping class to do work for them, thinking it might be a way to get a foot in the door to a better class of people, but then got in a fight over money he felt he was owed, killed some guys, and had to flee back to Tawhoque. idonotlikepeas fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Nov 5, 2013 |

It's been fairly obvious from the beginning of the comic that Sette is at the least a bastard child given the fact that she has half-demonic features, such as her tail and teeth, which are clearly not shared by her father or siblings. She sleeps in a stable, gets tossed about and is generally abused because she's not actually her fathers daughter. She's just a tool to the Frummagem family.

Brace for incoming mage rage. If Duane isn't royally pissed off I'll be very surprised. Also did his foot come completely off? drat, it sucks to be a zombie. Maybe he can get a peg leg.

It's also not clear how much of his original body has to be left for him to keep going. She's been very coy about that on Formspring, presumably because it's plot-relevant. The answer could well be "absolutely nothing".

Nah, not unless the entire comic is an unreliable narrator. We've had Duane's account of how and (ostensibly) why Nary sent him and Sette west. I still believe that Sette was sent as expendable zombie bait to lure Duane into Cresce. At one point Duane even complains that Nary's blackmailing was unnecessary because he would have agreed to the (fictionalized) escort mission for its own sake, because Duane will always drop everything to save a child in danger and Nary/Lord Winalils knew this. EDIT: Also drat I definitely have not been paying enough attention around the edges of the flashback panels.

I think it's in reference to the scene where she tricks the lizard tracking her by draping her clothes over a rock under a tent so she's running around in just her underwear. quote:Sette doesn't have nipples? Oh, hey, that's right. I noticed, really, I did. Is that on purpose, or just because you didn't feel like having Sette nipples all over your webcomic? I'm starting to wonder if Sette is even gendered. She's probably some sort of living construct or something. Unless Ashley is loving with the readers which is possible.
