Jesus christ, what are you doing, big guy?

The worst thing about Glitchmaster's coming power play is that things like this might happen less.

Or more, given that Nightmare Knight is gonna inevitably join the party at this point. NK is the best. Where the heck did he get all the candy tho, did he stop by Caketowns bakery on the way to the Flower Kingdom?

He secretly took it with his Knightmare powers (and left money on the counter).

Clearly the chest (and everything in it) is a mimic with a very specific taste for Carrot. And superior knowledge of its prey.

But seriously, if that's Parfait's real letter, that's a helluva elaborate care package that NK put together. Unless the magic of True Love spawns cookies and tchotchkes for free.

It's not like I've got no worries...
But I'll be fine.
I mean, NK had to put the chest next to the trophy and put enough stuff in it to distract the heroes for long enough that Rosemaster's weird not-so-bright flowers would think they had the important macguffin when they do not so that Rosie doesn't get her hands on it and actually succeed.

That's actually a pretty cunning way to undermine Rosemaster.

He has magical powers it took him like a second.

You will not convince me NK did not do this in order to convey Parfait's affections even further than the letter.

I just assumed that a letter from Parfait naturally generates a tasteful arrangement of baked goods, like a mollusk forming a protective shell.

So the trophy's apparently a magic power multiplier. I can see why Glitchmaster would want that.

Oh, I meant based on the username "nightmare child," since Dahlia is hella goth. Totally the type to call herself a nightmare child.

I think the joke (from "panpipe’s gonna be pretty riled up when nightmare_child_35 gives up fanfiction to do her own thing") is that nightmare_child_35 is a proxy for gigi herself.

Oh, yes, that was definitely the joke of that footnote. Doesn't mean she (i.e. nightmare_child) can't also have a canon in-comic identity, though!

New comic up.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards 'lost princess' at this point, too.

Also, Cabbage in those panels is awesome, though I think he's working for the bad guys at this point.

Cabbage only ever works towards Getting Paid. If villainy is more profitable well then that's just good people's own fault for paying too little.

Because he's helping them out anyway, so they'd be foolish to pay him for it when they don't have to.
