Jazu posted:I was wondering what the staring at Cucumber's wand in the chapter title page was about. Are people super impressed by magic light for some reason? Heck, if I want to go out on a speculation limb here, the fact that he's a magic user unlike every other sword-using Legendary Hero suggests that it might even be the key to breaking the cycle.

Don't forget that the Nightmare Knight bugged the gently caress out and cut their conversation short when he saw Cucumber holding/using it in the last chapter. So there's definitely something special to that wand, we just don't know exactly what it is yet.

Yeah, I think you're on to something just going by the reactions of other characters who probably know what's up. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Jul 22, 2016 |

About the wand also, but mostly just chat, you know? Cucumber seems like a nice boy. Good conversation holder.

Actually, NK was just as surprised by the existence of the wand as Cucumber was and seemed willing to do some brainstorming to figure out what it is when Almond came in and messed everything up. Like she always does.

Like she always does. I don't think that's true--to me it seemed like he recognized it, but had no idea how it could've found its way into Cucumber's possession. Speaking of which: Saturday had the final disaster stone, the wand, and had just grabbed the Dream Sword. It's possible it's just because all three are priceless treasures, but all together there's a good chance she has some kind of agenda beyond rebellious princess-turned-thief. (Well, in addition to, since she also had all those Scrooge McDuck piles of gold.)

I think the wand is more an indication of how Cuco's temperament is key to breaking the cycle. For every cycle up to now we've had the Hero, a brash dipshit with a sword, and the Sidekick, a shy pacifist mage, but now that's inverted and it's gumming up the expected order of things. Almond's still doing her best to ruin everything, but even she's starting to come around to her brother's way of thinking about the whole conflict.

Is it just me or is there reason to believe that the antagonist of this arc is manipulating our heroes into a trap of some sort? Cucumber quest hasn't had a narrator before to the best of my knowledge

One time two girls came up to me on the street and offered to polish my wand for free, and the people I was with forced me to go along with it. Then they pulled my wand away from me and threw it in a washing machine. I was in the hospital for weeks. My "friends" thought it was hilarious.

Renaissance Robot posted:Two pushy oneesans offer to polish your wand; what do you do? My interpretation was the bin shot was showing the little baubles falling off (because of the emphasis on the three little shiny baubles clacking away from the wand as it lands). Like, as if they washed the new powers clean off the wand.

I really hope it wasn't swapped because, honestly, I'm getting a little tired of the "important artifact was stolen from under the heroes' noses" plot point.

Poison Mushroom posted:I really hope it wasn't swapped because, honestly, I'm getting a little tired of the "important artifact was stolen from under the heroes' noses" plot point. I kinda agree. The heroes have had this happen before and have run into Cosmo multiple times at this point, so sabotage should be suspected. Need a twist on the formula lest your heroes look like idiots.

I would be fine with the switch if it was a setup for a completely different situation, like Cordelia steals the now fake wand, runs away cackling, and the two wand ladies show up again right after and give Cucumber the correct wand back. I think that would be funny.

The heroes were firmly established as idiots when Almond got characterized as "thinking is for wussies, act like a jackass instead" while Cucumber was characterized as "I know what we're doing won't work but I'm too meek and spineless to put my foot down and wrangle the rest of my team of jabronis into looking for a real solution".
