Let's do the space-time warp again!

TwoPair posted:

Yeah, honestly even if the power up isn't permanent and Rosemaster took a stage dive, Carrot thinks he won, and that self confidence boost in addition to the Power Of Love are going to let him be a full fledged helping member of the party.

Yea, part of Parfait's whole message was that she admired him for always giving his best and never giving up - it's explicitly not about being the strongest person, so not winning the fight on the merits of his own power doesn't really undermine it. The arc is that Carrot has been too scared and uncertain to actually do anything (whenever he has failed, it's been him just giving up and booking it, not failing because he wasn't competent) and him getting passed that to actually commit to a fight.

Although winning will probably make him feel pretty good and bump him up in the other's esteem.

I didn't used to understand why Gigi doesn't come here any more; thanks, thread, for opening my eyes. I don't think I've ever seen anyone bitch so relentlessly about a comic they supposedly like.

What happened to just checking out for the boring bits? Put it down, go do something else and come back later. It's a real loving downer reading post after post about how one monologue must mean we're headed for five more years of nothing but artsy monologues because it's not like this a comic that has changed in mood or theme before?


The only issue with pacing right now is that it's taking literal months to get through and y'all are a bunch of whiny man babies.

Bro rushing to defend Gigi from very mildly disappointed internet peoples isn't going to make you as manpretty as Carrot. I'm sorry.

Maybe Carrot just broke the Crocus?

Cucumber probably gets the ability to make thorn bushes sprout, but presumably not the ability to mind control. (Although come to think of it, shouldn't he have gotten the ability to smash from Splashmaster?)

I'm glad to see this thread mature enough not to be making jokes that the new orb will turn him into a tumblr SJW or into a girl.

That said, I hope it grows thorny rosevines to entangle people, or create a barrier, or whatnot

Wouldn't it be something if Rosemaster used the power of the Crocus to destroy her own Disaster Stone?

At the very least, it would break the cycle for her.

Rosemaster didn't make the rosey minions though. They were the Guardener's, she just turned them because she has plant control powers. Maybe Cucumber will get that nifty sleep spell she hit everyone with right at the start of the fight.

You can summon the minions if you beat the Guardener in New Game+ (the trick is inflicting Blindness on everyone before the fight starts).

sleep doesn't really work on bosses though, and this game's pretty short on non-boss fights

Spells for problem solving. Cucmber doesn't really... do boss fights if you have noticed.

Mild mind control: make someone sleep, forget what they where doing, forget who you are

Simple things like that to help in problem solving.

He pretty much shut Legato down (granted that was by complete accident) by activating the water orb and extinguishing all the instruments around. Of course, he was a side-quest, not a real boss, so I guess you are technically right.

He already has a time-stop spell, though.

I'm thinking he gets some sort of illusion/disguise that makes them all dressed up like in Dressed, so no one can recognize them through all the fabulous.
