Update time!

#133: Hear No State Secrets, See No State Secrets, Speak No State Secrets

[Draconi Redfir]

for some reason whenever i scroll down to read the rest of the page the text gets harder to read. Weird.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Flashback time!

[RdMarquis]

Flashback time!

Quick, somebody cue the visual effects!

[SamBurke]

Yes. Refreshing achieved! I wonder what the relationship is... we'll have to wait. Snap.

[Marnath]

I wonder if that "WHAT?!" is because the name wasn't Miles, or if it's because he's heard about Rust before?

[Jinglebelle]

I think Lloyd has heard of Rust, Rust was mentioned in his flashback, after all.

Mentioned in the flashback?

this i do not remember

No, he wasn't. Lloyd has never heard of Rust before, and that's why he's freaking out.

[Lycan 01]

Oh wow, I like this new Prince guy. When he told Lloyd he can't claim to know stuff if he doesn't hear it, was he referring to the stuff about Kago, or the fact that Lloyd is from Kago?

I think the confusion arrises here from amalgamting the Kago scenes into one experience. As far as I remember there have been three distinct "trips" to Kago: a single page cutaway scene early in the comic's run featuring Murphy and mentioning Elizabeth and Lord Byron - this scene was from a "reliable narrator" but we didn't know much of anything to put it into context at that stage - a flashback visit framed by Lloyd's account of his backstory to the rest of Team Gale -this scene was also reliable although Lloyd's narration was not necessarily, it was also subject to numerous time skips which confused matters, and finally a second cutaway visit which took place after the events of Lloyd's flashback and took us about up to speed with the events of Team Gale's side of the storyline. Rust only appeared in the last visit and nobody in Kago who was shown seemed to know who he was, which implies Lloyd wouldn't have either.

As for what Prince Riley was talking about... I wouldn't be surprised if he had an inkling who Lloyd was, especially with Lloyd giving himself away so much, but I suspect he was talking about Kago in general. Time will tell, no doubt.

Oh, and I see Janine's back, safe and sound

[Asta Kask]

And she wants to jump prince Riley's bones. No surprise there.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yep, pretty much. (Say, what happened to page upon page of discussion? )

[blackjack217]

we stopped burning through threads quickly

[Marnath]

Right now what's going on is pretty straight-forward, meeting the prince. There will be more speculation when the flashback starts, I bet.

Burn, thread, burn!

*breaks out the torches*

...

*and marshmallows*

Disco Infer-

"NO"

Oh come on, like i'm the only one thinking it

[SamBurke]

BTW, I like the design of the carpet. Shows a lot of thought put into the strip.

Lloyd totally needs a poker face. Diplomacy is a class skill for Paladins, hello? The guy really should learn about the other side of diplomacy. :P

Poker face falls under bluff, Sam

Depends on how good you are at convincing your GM of things, dude. Go take a level of debater. Talky-man can do many things.

And yes, I know that mechanically, it does. It was kinda a joke.

Well, i make my own jokes. So there

[SamBurke]

Now we're burning through the thread! Only we need something better to talk about. Hm.

Thought: Awards on best comic?

[Ninjaman]

I wote for OotS.

[SamBurke]

Best comic from this comic's archive. IE, best Murphy's Law ever.

[Hiro Protagonest]

That's what I was thinking of.

Hm, let's see...

This one.

[CWater]

These two are my favourites.

[Alagaesian]

I personally like this one the best

[SamBurke]

This one. Actually, the whole flashback, but this sums it up nicely and has a good bit of drama to it.

[Marnath]

This one's my favorite. Serrin may be innocent, but that doesn't mean she's naive or unwilling to defend herself.
I especially love how the moment it's over she goes right back to normal like nothing unusual happened.

[Alagaesian]

Hey Coffee, which strip is your favorite?
