It gave enough time for someone to get closer and get the flesh blown off his arm, at that. Since, you know, most people wouldn't immediately recognize that or know how to react and might try to help.

Child soldiers to the front lines for landmine duty. This can only end well. http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch14/ch14_28.html

Also it was said on the Q&A tumblr that the pivotal moment for Duane's assassination and zombification has already been drawn, and that the buffer is about 30something pages, so while it should come up sometime this chapter, I expect it to be vague and bringing up more questions then answers as usual.

Good luck, kiddos.

edit: this page is Ash attempting to show us Duane's khert-sense - he's not loving with the mines, he's just feeling where they are

Anyone want to take bets on the countdown to Will getting his arm blown off and at least one of those plat kids experiencing a deeply unpleasant death? Five pages? Maybe six?

Will is currently drumming for the squad in comic now, we know gets his arm blown off (probably soon), so countdown until Duane's squad renames itself to Def Leppard?

This comic is too dense for me to remember. Why is that people are predicting Will will have an arm blown off?

Because we saw Will in another flashback and he had one arm less than in the current flashback.

And also because Ashley Cope is a sadistic monster.

Duane is such a hopeless dork that it's impossible to think of him as being cool and impressive even when he's doing objectively cool and impressive things.

Well, I guess we know why Ash wants to finish the scene all at once on Wednesday: it's because the Brothers Adelier kill dozens when the police action legion collapses into murderous infighting.

It's a subject not really often addressed, but the implications of people just having plain different natural lifespans is pretty creepy. Normally people stop at bemoaning the idea of living forever and normal people being just mayflies, but the only other place I've seen consider shorter life cycles is Mass Effect.

Of course, Mass Effect tried (not exactly successfully) to do the idea of differing developmental cycles, and here it seems like children are still children and the only tradeoff is some abstract magical power supercharge. Not the best deal.

First of the new pages since the last one was linked, by the way. Two pages before the one linked above; we're bad at keeping up on updates in this thread apparently.

Some D&D-type fantasy stuff has different "races" living different lengths, some shorter than human average, but it rarely actually focuses on the implications of that beyond making the long-lived ones see shorter-lived ones like children and the shorter-than-human-lived ones flighty and trying to live life to the fullest or whatever.

Maybe I missed it earlier but I hadn't realized Lemuel had been a soldier since he was 12. Guess Alderode uses non-plat child soldiers too.

Catching up on the tumblr QnA and someone was paying attention to the important questions:

quote:

Anonymous asked: Does Claggart own his doggo? Would be the pride of his life if he did, I bet.

Claggart owns his doggo and he’s the pride of Claggart’s life. Who d’you think secured it that giant bone!

Look, General Bell may be a war criminal and attempting a coup, and Queen Sonorie might be seriously hosed up in experimenting with the Efheby, but for all of that Cresce is merely an okay to poor place to live from what we've seen. Compare that to Alderode, which is a loving nightmare.

e: poo poo, I forgot for a second what Cresce did to the two toes. Goddamnit, all these people suck.

The motif of power = monstrosity is pretty strong in this story. The more powerful anything is, be it character or organization, the more monstrous it becomes.

A pymaric went off - one big enough to both kill a vliegeng outright and freak out all the plats.

Like, at this stage of the rebellion it's supposed to be mostly mopup, the Crescians never showed, the rebel leaders have all been stung and captured (the ones that can be, anyway.) But Roger shows back up personally with a contingent of Crescians and somebody lets off the magical equivalent of a surface-to-air missile and scores a direct strike. When Cresce absolutely specializes in martial pymarics for the purposes of war.

Yeaaaaah, something worse than that snakedrop moment during the diss track is coming.
