Dinosaurs! posted:I think the Skyggemyrians know about some crazy event and decided to keep Lyndon around to witness it and become an advocate for whatever they’re doing in the real timeline. I’m not convinced we’re seeing how the scepter’s death vision sausage is simulated, though. But I guess that’d require a very Thorsby explanation to get out of the scepter timeline, since Lyndon ultimately getting killed would have just given him that vision initially. Only in the real timeline.

why do you think were not getting any scenes from Lyndon's perspective as far as he knows this isn't happening

Ok good point, but no one who’s touched the scepter had any context for their death. If people witnessed the lead up then the crew wouldn’t have been confused about their visions of being killed by each other. I figured Lyndon was on to it with his immortal comment, but maybe the scepter really is broken.

Dinosaurs! posted:Whatever just started happening is probably the event that little yellow Skyggemyrian said Audrey wouldn’t believe until she saw it. Seems like she’ll be the one with the vision when we snap back to the original timeline. I’m so curious how the scepter’s power transferred to her and how much she’ll remember. It could just be a not related to the sceptre event that the Skyggemyrian knew about because of previous sceptre delves.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:the stars probably vanish shortly before the person having the vision dies, sort of the universe starting to fall apart backwards in time. that happened before the ambassador died and it’s happening now because Lyndon is almost dead That would require the sceptre to actually have precognitive powers of it could actually tell you when you die why would it need to do a simulation of the universe

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:because it’s the most thorsby way of doing things? if the scepter is creating a simulation which then disappears when you go back to reality it IS predicting the future, it’s just doing it on an ongoing basis. Remember the visions are actually instant in the “real” world. That just means it has a vast degree of processing power. The stars disappearing being a sign of the simulation going on too long and it only stimulating a set area of space is more likely

pathetic little tramp posted:I think thorsby originally had a plan for why the stars vanished in the simulation but realised it doesn't actually make sense so he's just going with "I don't know why, but the simulation is just imperfect" The world isn't exactly advanced in astrophysics the 5 and a bit light year sphere is a viable explaintion

Calaveron posted:I have not understood a single thing that's happened in this strip except that they're in a simulated world within another unrelated character's death simulation after having touched the stick Libluini posted:So that's why they have to keep our dumb mage guy alive! Some of those fake beings have learned that they're inside a fake universe and try to keep him alive as long as possible, to extend their existence since they all blink out as soon as he keels over! How the hell are you only just getting this? Have you even been reading the comic?

So here's the thing we don't know if this world will end when Lyndon dies, we just know that Lyndon will get a vision of his death.

Also from the hair styles it looks like it was around the marriage to the stock broker that Audrey get arrested, and her success time is around when she married Lyndon again.
