Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

[Ceska]

Then it must be Luna. Aberthast is the Church, obviously.

[ElfLad]

Great, now I'm thinking of the holy trinity of DD. I got Dominic (Jesus), Mookie (God) but right now I'm missing the holy ghost.

LiveJournal.

Flawless victory.

[Turcano]

1) Dominic will politely hear them out and promise them to help instantly, because The Mookie Sue is way too Good to harbour bad sentiments towards them - in spite of them blowing up the entire food supplies sent as help.

Not to mention knocking his psychic block off. (Which was the closest Mookie ever came to awesomeness.)

LiveJournal.

Oh, snap.

[Monnock]

Siggy is some kind of demon now, though, and Klo Tark reincarnated as something else, whereas Dominic is much too Awesome to change (as we have observed in the past five years, grumble...), hence I believe he would resurrect, not reincarnate.
Besides, makes for much better symbolism, too.

Hanging around with madmen does tend to have that effect, yes.

What the heck are you guys talking about? He ALREADY WAS resurrected. Gregory... Infernomancer... Ring any bells?

Well, not entirely, but it might as well have been.

[Mewtarthio]

"But, Dominic, what if he'd killed you instantly?"
"...'Kill... me'? This does not compute."

[Myrdhale]

Me like! Whozzat?

I'm not entirely sure. It's just the vague Idea I've had for a number of characters, but I think he's supposed to be the a character from my webcomic, one I've yet to make a character model for however. This was kinda a fun way to see the effect he would have, even in stick form.

... wait. how long has is been since The end of the war... about a year..

Wow. Those SHintula orcs are Camels, aren't they? I mean, from what I remember, Maltak was a totally barren inhabitable land, and the orcs Are fairly large vegetarians... Makes you wonder how they've been making out so long with out wasting away.

[Monnock]

I don't even get the orcs and their diet. Vegetarian orcs, sure. Vegetarian orcs that eat 'vegetables' that are as hard, if not harder, than wood... that's dumb. How do they even digest that junk?

They must import their food and water from wherever they lived before they went to move back to their homeland. After all, its only (plot) miles away.

The power of Offscreen Villain Dark Matter, of course.

[ElfLad]

Okay, so are these fillers self-parody, or are they just so stupid that they appear to be self-parody, but are actually genuine?

[Turcano]

Mookie thinks that Dominic Deegan is Serious Business.

You do the math.

[Karellen]

You know what would be a cool plot twist that Mookie will never even think about doing?

Mosly, Huk Thak, Ethelia, and the latest heavymetal devil reincarnation of Klo Tark... turn out to be the same person! Hell, throw in the Infernomancer and Celesto and the rest of Mookie's pointless goes-nowhere twists. Then this guy, using his incredible powers of disguise (I mean, it's not that hard, considering how everybody in Mookieverse has the same face) constructs a fiendish ploy to take apart Dominic's seer powers bit by bit by drawing him into a whirlpool of imaginary drama, culminating in the destruction of Dominic's psyche, leaving him a screaming, pathetic vegetable for all eternity.

But of course, if that was the case, there'd be an actual point to all these ridiculous teasers. As if.

[Ceska]

The power of Offscreen Villain Dark Matter, of course.

Are we all posting links to TVtropes not?

LiveJournal.

You win.

Mosly, Huk Thak, Ethelia, and the latest heavymetal devil reincarnation of Klo Tark...

Sorry, you lost me at that point to the idea of all DD villains forming a death metal supergroup.

[rubakhin]

Oh, jeezus. I am sick of two things in Dominic Deegan, beyond all else: metal and Klo Tark. And, at some point in time, it seems we'll have to suffer through both of them. At once. Just ... seriously, why? Mookie honestly thinks it's a good idea to bring him back?

Also, arms do not work that way. That elbow looks dislocated. Ouch.

And neither do fingers. What the hell?

[Humbug]

Blue face here has three fingers on one hand and five on the other. Huh?

[Ceska]

It's clearly a breed specifically to use right handed guitars. As obviously you do not need to pick guitars, ever. *nods*

[Turcano]

Also, arms do not work that way. That elbow looks dislocated. Ouch.

And neither do fingers. What the hell?

Blue face here has three fingers on one hand and five on the other. Huh?

Mookie's such an awesome artist, he doesn't need proper anatomy. Or consistency. Or double-checking things.

[Winterwind]

You win.

I concur.

Sorry, you lost me at that point to the idea of all DD villains forming a death metal supergroup.

No, no, no, no, no. Death metal is the music of the Fourth Caste. I'm pretty sure most of the Forsaken Trailer characters are Third Caste actually.

In other words, they wouldn't play metal, they'd play emo.

Behold the formation of Scryin Park.

Also, arms do not work that way. That elbow looks dislocated. Ouch.

Well, considering he died - twice, no less - he's actually in surprisingly good condition.

[Morty]

Great. So now Klo Tark returns as demonic metal guitarist. And here I thought DD reached the bottom.
That, and I think seeing any more of Mookies attempts to write song lyrics will be lethal.

[Gez]

There's a slim hope that these filler doodles are just filler doodles, and not foreshadowing of horrors to come.

[Friv]

Yeah, since he's calling them Con sketches, I figure some fan just walked up and said "Hey, draw Klo Tark playing a guitar!"

And Mookie was all, "Sweet! Yeah!"

[Ceska]

No, no, no, no, no. Death metal is the music of the Fourth Caste. I'm pretty sure most of the Forsaken Trailer characters are Third Caste actually.

In other words, they wouldn't play metal, they'd play emo.

Behold the formation of Scryin Park.

You mean we would be able to understand the lyrics too? NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Seriously, I love Death Metal and especially Melodeath, but I can't understand half the lyrics when I don't concentrate.

[Green Bean]

No, no, no, no, no. Death metal is the music of the Fourth Caste. I'm pretty sure most of the Forsaken Trailer characters are Third Caste actually.

Behold the formation of Scryin Park.

Hmm. Emo Death Metal.

I like the name because it implies it kills emos.

[Winterwind]

Speaking of metal, one thing occured to me...

Look at these lyrics (by Metallica, with only one word changed by me and the less fitting passages eliminated), and imagine they are directed at Gregory and speaking about Dominic...


Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries

[...]

Follow the God that sees

Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your way

[...]

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

[...]


Scary, huh?

[Morty]

Preety accurate, I'd say. But of course, Metallica is good for everything. Though if we want to apply Metallica to DD, "Master of Puppets" immediately springs to mind as well.

[Ceska]

So I am not the only one?

Though Subway to Sally's Puppenspieler reminds me even more so of DD, ever since I first listened to it on 28th of October or so I combine those two.

Excellent point. Let's see...

Spoiler

Show

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

[Chorus:]
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
[End Chorus]

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus]

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season

[Chorus]

Whoa. That doesn't ever require anything changing whatsoever.
And it fits.

So I am not the only one?

Though Subway to Sally's Puppenspieler reminds me even more so of DD, ever since I first listened to it on 28th of October or so I combine those two.

Is that from their new album?

[Ceska]

Whoa. That doesn't ever require anything changing whatsoever.
And it fits.

You didn't know that? It's Lord Dominic's in-official hymn, isn't it?

Is that from their new album?

Yes. One of the better songs. All in all I'm not all too happy, though it is better in average than NNO was (I really didn't like NNO). There are some really good songs (Puppenspieler; Voodoo, which starts just like die Schlacht and then gets different; die Trommel, awesome song; and auf Kiel, which is a quite good balad), some mediocre IMHO (Umbra, Fatum, In der Stille, unentdecktes Land, Meine Seele brennt, Tanz auf dem Vulkan) some bad (Hohelied, Canticum Satanae) and one absolutely awful kitsch song "Wehe Stunde". Ugh. It's like Dominic Deegan in musical form. When it had started after the Storm of Souls. Really, it's like "the band was awesome early on" and now you get that song, a musical version of the Snowsong Arc.

[Winterwind]

You didn't know that? It's Lord Dominic's in-official hymn, isn't it?

Oh, how very much so.

Yes. One of the better songs. All in all I'm not all too happy, though it is better in average than NNO was (I really didn't like NNO).

Hmmm... I haven't had a chance to hear Bastard yet (but I plan to change that soon ), so I'll just take your word for that - although our musical taste seems to be quite different, since I consider Nord Nord Ost to be far, far better than any of Subway to Sally's previous work (now Engelskrieger, that was a disturbing album. Not bad. But disturbing. ).

[Oracle_Hunter]

Are we all posting links to TVtropes not?

Of course we are. What, do you mean it's not awesome?



In DD related news: That sketch either looks like KISS (Klo Tark In Satan's Service ) or KIKS (Klo Tark in Karnak's Service).

If it's the former, then it's probably just filler. If it's the later... WTF is going on with Mookie's cosmology? First the guy can't die, then he is slaved by the King of Hell - despite being the most saintly character in DD?
