Technically, that's still pacifism magic.

At least til Audrey cuts him down. And nice backup plan for your sword getting stolen, Audrey.

When a tree gets old, you can take cuttings from it and re-grow the tree. They've discovered a way to keep Lyndon alive indefinitely!

maltesh posted:And trees don't think, or feel pain Plants actually react to aggression, stress, and other stimuli, despite not having a central nervous system like animals do. They think and feel, just in a very different way from how animals do, which makes quantifying their capabilities kind of hard.

That's pretty ingenious, and tbh Audrey should probably just cut her losses and say welp guess we just kill you instead.

396 They're prepared against incapacitating pacifism magic, and the lower jouster doesn't get to make any dumb decisions in the wheelchair-cart.

I like how this is the place that took every possible precaution to keep Lyndon alive and happy, and then their plan B for if he escapes was apparently one guy with a net and three creatures with swords the size of his torso.

I think my favourite part of all this is how far off the rails the simulation has gone. Lyndon's entire life and death in the simulation has absolutely nothing to do with how he would actually live and die in the real world, because as soon as one person inside the simulation knew it wasn't the real world, they changed the outcome. If Lyndon were to catch a stray bullet or something and die all of a sudden, it wouldn't tell real-world Lyndon anything about his future death, because his future death in the real world will have nothing to do with any of the things that got him into this position inside the simulation. It's really classic Thorsby in that he's taken a generic magical concept like "sceptre that sees the future and tells you how you die", thought out the mechanics of how it could function, and then stretched those mechanics to a logical but completely absurd extreme, to the point that the initial concept loses almost all meaning. I love it.

This is the second greatest work of snake related content I've seen this month. Best is the Great Serpent of Ronka from the new Final Fantasy 14 expansion (SCREE!).

But why are those snakes on the ceiling? They would have been telefragged instantly, if they had just plastered the floor with them. Relevant Tangent posted:I love the ambassador's efforts so much.

I think Lyndon and Audrey just got really lucky. The snakes are hanging from the ceiling such that two people standing up, teleporting into the room at random, would have been overwhelmingly likely to intersect with at least one of them.

I love how Audrey seems to have become the protagonist by virtue of everyone else dying or disappearing, and is mostly motivated by revenge, bloodlust, and hedonism.

Snakes could kill each other, they still need to be able to use the rooms for stuff. Honestly it’s kind of cheap that Lyndon was able to successfully teleport into a room, but Thorsby is a goddamn genius so I don’t mind that much

Wait five comics, any of those snakes dying is directly related to Lyndon teleporting in.
