joking aside i'm pretty sure nightmare knight isn't going to get worked up over cucumber having the disaster orbs, that's just how things work really

I'm honestly assuming that Nightmare Knight doesn't want to talk where (the remains of) his minions can hear him. We already know he's playing a double game & keeping them in the dark; there's no reason for him to be certain this will be the last cycle, and he doesn't want to gently caress things up for next time...

"So what's that you have in your hand, young fella-me-lad?"

"This? This is a magic wand. Lets me use the power of your expired minions. Just trying to figure out how to make it use that music dudes-"

*Wobbly intro*

N-N-N-N-NOW GET THE gently caress UP

*Dubstep plays*

Twenty minutes and a severely concussed wand later nets boy and knight lounging on a hillside listening to Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

I remember some of Gigi's posts pointed to all previous heroes being Almond-types and having a Cucumber-type little sister, so yeah there's gonna be some weird magic shenanigans about to go down this time.

Also the new title banner is hella cute.

I guess not everything is quite so repetitive this time around. Were all the past heroes plucky swordsmen?

Before she quit Tumblr, Gigi said that yeah, Cucumber is the first Legendary Hero to ever be a magician. I'd say it was hard to believe if it wasn't straight from the author's mouth. So I guess every other one was a sword-wielder (maybe one used a lance and just tied the sword onto the end of it) (Or also alternately, NK's been throwing fights for like, 80+ heroes)

This is actually kind of interesting. Seems like this is the sort of game where the main character is the only one to get weird custom powers. Maybe the sword dudes sparked custom techniques when fighting the disaster masters or something.

i can't imagine what the detailed implications of this wand (and NK's ignorance of its existence up til now) are at this point but there's no way it's not going to be significant. it raises a couple interesting questions at least though. who created it, and why?

Almond is desperate to ride the train. Cucumber is desperate to derail it. I think Cucumber will win some battles, Almond others, until the true ultimate evil is revealed (It's Cabbage).

Huh. I thought the disaster stones would have worked with any wand. I didn't consider that the wand Cucumber "Found" was actually custom made to use the Disaster Stones.

Should be interesting to see the implications of that down the road.

That does make me curious what's special about Almond's sword. She found it in the same stash and was able to use it against Peridot without it turning to stone, so it's likely magical somehow.
