Haarp and the spies of Petrevolt think that there's a phony Plume running around. His life will be taken... by farce. :downsrim:

This, but somehow it's going to involve real Plume, real fake Plume, and fake fake Plume in a comedy of errors/Mexican standoff.

After three panels of them pointing guns at each other, with one gun having blanks, and discussing how they're going to find out which gun is harmless.
Fake fake Plume is actually Jymre .

Started reading up on Hit-men again after a long hiatus, It started at the panel before Passion,Lies,and Fungus so yeah, Passion,Lies,and Fungus.
Couldn't stop reading, did the whole thing in one sitting, and it was amazing.

I would like to pose the theory that the true reason that Twolesy development has occurred in this manner is to aid in the advancement of their silly hats and their value in the social hierarchy. Magic is merely a byproduct of this process.

I'd imagine that if you come from a planet that has a reverse gravity zone, when someone tells you they are a wizard capable of summoning demons and killing with stomach cramps, the closest thing to disbelief it would be possible to muster would be a "Sure, why not, stranger things have happened."

I laughed really hard at that. It would have been better with a society conditioned to instinctively ignore OFFENSIVE things, so you could walk around tattooed with obscenities and basically be invisible.

But then again, that would basically be the fact if you did so in, say, Tokyo, so...

It begins with the slow and steady decline in Chris Onstadt's output for Achewood. It shall conclude with øyvind Thorsby missing a day or two on Accidental Space Spy. Then all will be lost and fire shall rain from the sky. Man's last words shall be "Ever Heard of a Limbchooser?"

I was talking about the prophecy you posted, which applies to our universe. If anything, I was implying that we're in the Hitmen for Destiny universe.

That ropes getting cut one way or another and the wizard of the Labyrinth is going to be super pissed, possibly setting off a chain of events where the wizard will start magicking everyone and start a big magic fight that causes the entire race to get messed up completely, Real-Plume is then totally going to get blamed for it.
