This conversation gets me thinking. There's no way that Mottom actually ate all of the fruit on that world. She's just one person. She went out of her way to make it extinct because denuding entire planets is what god kings are supposed to do.

K6BD seems to be much more based in mythology than in realism. The idea of Heracles holding up the sky is ridiculous from the perspective of realist storytelling, but in the internal logic of the myth it would be absurd for there to exist an object Heracles can't lift and/or wrestle.

No one talks about the power level of an ebon demon's liver and blood brain barrier with respect to alcohol consumption. In the story, binge drinking is an act of self-loathing and no one is better than Allison at self-loathing so she wins the contest.

I think she intends to swap places with the girl in order to get close to Mottom. I suppose it's as close to a good plan as we can get at this point.

Finding Zaid, I believe. I don't think she knows that Mottom already has him and such, though. Though I could be wrong.

I dunno, that seems a little too on-the-nose, unless it's the key to her immortality or something. My guess is that she just carts them around the multiverse until they drop dead of exhaustion and/or starvation because Mottom never lets them rest and eats all the food ever herself.

Or she kills them whenever she's displeased, which seems to be always. She was pretty quick on the finger laser at the council, and if that's how she treats her peers, she's probably not kind to the help.

If you rule 1/7th of all creation your servants alone can probably populate a planet. I figure there are thousands of visitors and hangers-on in the palace at any given time so they probably just have a lifetime of hard work ahead. Replenish every few decades or so.

Do you mean the alt text on the comic? I don't think the woman referred to as "dame" is supposed to be the one who said that.

10 Vigilant Gaze Purges the Horizon is still my favorite angel design, though 38 Dark Spear of Thought Will Plunge Into the Flesh of Heretics is a pretty close second now.

Apparently White Chain is still pretty tough in soul form. I'm sad we didn't get to see the fight, wonder how it goes with those wing/eye hands.

Dark Spear is the wheel of wings, the polyhedron is 12 Questioning Fate.

Well I can't say for sure but I don't see a situation where White Chain just gets cut up a little by the Thorns right after they killed Delicious for not joining them.

It is a good generator, the first result it gave me was "31 Turbulent Gale Questions the Wrathful" which does sound like it would fit in seamlessly. I ran a few more tries and most were pretty nice as well.
