Chapter: Mile High Engage

+28

Amaaré

Found your courage again I see Ulrich.
That’s a rather different gun and those dice look pretty special too…

Is Ulrich magic or is it all just smoke and mirrors?
- Aria
  
  That’s an excellent question!
  - caribouchat
    
    Just smoke and mirrors wouldn’t explain for feeling the rose burning…
- l33tninja
  
  If you can’t tell the difference, then it’s magic.
Adrian Fridge

I don’t get it. If he had these resources, he could have used them the moment the regular bullet didn’t work. I imagine a cowardly character would throw in everything he has before running away.
- Aria
  
  It IS kinda weird that he freaked out so much, huh? He’s usually so chill, I wonder what’s up with that.
  - Adrian Fridge
    
    Lol. You’re just like, “And I got an Ace up *my* sleeve. :snaps fingers:”
    
    Theory time! I’m thinking it’s either a phobia or something neurodivergent.
    - Aria
      
      We’ll see!
- l33tninja
  
  My 2 cents:
  The black cloud dealio throws thoughts directly into his brain, probably feeding his own insecurities. It just took him a little time to fight that off. A weaker character would have just given in and collapsed. I think this shows his real strength.

hello, marble. Glad to see you’re back.
Mike South

Now then. That’s what I said. You should listen to me more often. OK that token thing might have helped too, but don’t dismiss the value of a good pep talk from someone coming to the comic six months later, that you can’t hear.

Ulrich’s blog post for the day, written by someone else:

“I dared to be badass today by shooting an abomination with a bullet that was wagging it’s tongue at the thing. And that was the opening act. What did you do, worth mentioning, today?”

(And the summary for the next few pages just makes things crazier. Got upstaged by the insane child demanding I be her friend using the other half of the….thing to then kick the crap out of it, complete with fourth-wall voiceover as to why being what she is, is so damningly awesome. And then the scores get wiped as she got possessed and I had to talk her out of being stupid and going back to being her stupid self.)

(Of course, the above paragraph wasn’t even my first line of thought. That went more along the lines of “It’s like the Devil showing up on Scooby-Doo! Do I take him seriously, or not!?!? Is he going to be the most dangerous thing of the episode, or do I fall over laughing?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT TO THIS?!” the first “quote” there though was what came to mind first, then this, then the paragraph. Wait, “paragraph”? Crap, my rambling problem’s back again, isn’t it…..)

(Alternate alternate…alternate? comment)
How to be Crazy Awesome:
– Step 1: Find horrible monstery thing of evil
– Step 2: Fire smiley face bullet
– Step 3: Challenge the thing

  Hee! This made me smile a lot, I’m always down for some rambly comments.

    Oh please no don’t tell me that I’ll leave essays here…..and feel terribly ashamed that I left essay here. 🙁
    
    But hey, at least you were amused. That’s….at least slightly redeeming. 🙂
