Maybe the Oracle was just sad that she had to make the entrance for nothing. Anyone ever think about how hard it is on her?

Ha, that was the headmaster of the school Cucumber wanted to go to, and also the guy he was fanboying about at some times. (A QA session maybe)

Also Oracle being shifty as always.

Edit: Didn't the Oracle create the Dreamsword? I wonder if she gets something out of the Nightmare Knight's defeats with the "sword of legend"

It's often much harder on the Oracle than on the Hero.

I'm also slightly disappointed in Almond again. At this point I think she would be over the whole "who cares" when it comes it getting to the bottom of this situation.

So...what sort of cold based disaster will befall the Skybus? Storm, Blizzard?

Aside from the obvious questionable reaction of the oracle, and the involvement of the principal, I'm most curious about the Grizzlygum namedrop

Does he know more than he let on??

Honestly she's probably still shaken from what happened with Rose master.

Also cold based disaster will obviously be thunder snow.

The last two DM fights were kinda brutal on Almond, in both the trouncing sense and the fact she didn't have anything to do with things turning out alright. We seem to be heading to wizard school too so being In magic nerd land is probably gonna suck for her.

I imagine Almonds going to have a steep down turn in the next arc that she won't pull out of until the crystal kingdom.

I haven't given up on the whole "hero/NK conflict needs to happen or else bad things beyond NK & co" theory.

Also the bus runs on Cosmo's experimental cold fusion reactor! There are just a few little kinks to work out. Namely the freezing to death.

Well Almond and the Nightmare Knight can duke it out for a while. In the meantime, Cucumber will solve the REAL problem in the background/backroom and then he becomes a terrible darklord himself.

Grizzlygum was the guardian of the Oracle's forest, so basically Chardonnay was gonna tell him he doesn't need to get warmed up to do the whole hero test thing.

She seems more bummed out than simple disinterest here. That's at least Grade B+ levels of unhappiness right there.

Ya, after people pointed it out, she's probably just depressed and disillusioned at this point. More believable character arc this way really.

IIRC Crystal Kingdom arc is next, then wizard school. It seems like we're starting to wrap up the interlude so not sure how much time is left for this to happen the way you say. Depending on how things go in the Crystal Kingdom I can easily see her more amused by a country of Cucumbers than anything else.

I think it was a fairly predictable character arc and really the only way to give Almond more depth. Doesn't make it any less interesting to read of course!

You know, it seems like what the oracle is sad about is the lack of Nightmare Knight. I wonder if she has some personal connection to him like his underlings do.

Yes indeed there seem to be many Tumblrite hacks eager to cash in on Cucumber Quest's style. One webcomic went as far as to rip off the style of character profiles.
