Order of the Stick Trivia XIX: It's Always the Demon Roaches

[Ron Miel]

Time for a hint.

Let's say that to solve this you need to be wily.

[Lord Torath]

Finally found one in the description of Elan in the Super Genius's plan.

Fun fact: a diaeresis is the same thing as an umlaut. Well, not really. They look the same, though!

What's essentially the same as "fine"? (According to a statement by a particular character)

[Jasdoif]

What's essentially the same as "fine"? (According to a statement by a particular character)

"Finely chopped". I think that's more of a subset than an equivalent, personally...but it'd still work, of coarse.

OQ.

[Lord Torath]

The obvious question, "Who made the same pun Jasdoif just made?" is so easy, it's almost the same as an Open Question. I'll ask it anyway.

[Ruck]

Well, if it's a pun, it's Elan, but you still have to find the exact one. Panel 1:

Let me see if I can word this question right: Find me a panel that's not a flashback, with three people we the readers know are dead, acting as though they are alive. (Also, name those three people.)

[Ron Miel]

I presume actions in the afterlife don't count either?

Do you mean that the characters are dead now, or do they also have to have been dead at the point of the story when that panel was shown?

[Jasdoif]

Does the panel in the lower-left with Tsukiko, Thanh and Durkon count? (OQ if so.)

[Cicciograna]

Does the panel in the lower-left with Tsukiko, Thanh and Durkon count? (OQ if so.)

And if it doesn't on account of being an illusion, I'm chipping in the second to last panel here, with Bozzok, Crystal and "Eagle-Eye" Pete.
Note that it's a cutaway, not a flashback.

If any of these two is correct, then it's OQ.

[Ruck]

Does the panel in the lower-left with Tsukiko, Thanh and Durkon count? (OQ if so.)

That's the panel I meant, yeah. I was trying to say "dead at that point in the story, being portrayed as alive." Something like that.

[Syncrogti]

If OQ, find the strip where Durkon was called same sex attracted after not responding to boobs

[Kish]

This one.

OQ.

[Syncrogti]

This one.

OQ.

Nailed it, awesome.

[Personification]

Taking OQ, find me the name of a spell being said as its sound effect but not its verbal component.

[b_jonas]

Taking OQ, find me the name of a spell being said as its sound effect but not its verbal component.

Hmm. All I can think of are holy, fire/lightning/sonic, shout/shout, and freedom but none of them match. The last one isn't even a spell technically.

[Ruck]

Upon reread, I am confused as to how one distinguishes which purpose a spell's name is said for.

[Personification]

The spell's name appears on the page, but not in a speech bubble, and it doesn't seem to originate with the caster. It DOES appear to originate from the spell effect.

Got it. The word "said" made me think the caster was still saying it.

[Ruck]

Oh! I believe what you are looking for is Redcloak's Slay Living spell.

Who are the Munez Twins?

[Laze]

Presumably thieves, but maybe they are innocent people who got into a bad company.

Why can't V cast the spells, that V prepared?

[Ron Miel]

V's lizard claws are incapable of performing the delicate hand positions required for spellcasting, and V's voice cannot speak the words of power!

OQ

Well, it is technically true, but V managed to cast several prepared spells later, so it didn't really prevented it, but just limited it's use. I honestly don't know about the answer, I personally think that it's almost right, but now quite

Their hands are tied too tightly
If correct, OQ

[Lord Torath]

Okay, I'll take the OQ:

What's a good way to prevent your villainous monologue from causing you to forget to finish the job?

[Lord Torath]

Time for a hint: It's part of a good grooming regimen.

Shaving, as in #383


Who says 'four words' in a conversation about V, totally unaware of V's prophecy?

Time for a hint?

Maybe a little rewording helps:
Who used four words to convince someone else to be content with considerably less than ultimate arcane power?

Shaving is not, in fact, the answer, although it too is part of a good grooming regimen. Shaving, in fact, has not been shown to prevent villainous monologuing at inopportune times.

[Ruck]

Considering all the boxes that answer checks, if it's not right, I have no idea what would be.

Also, it's been nearly 72 hours, so we need to move on from your question anyway.

Now I'm curious.

Considering all the boxes that answer checks, if it's not right, I have no idea what would be.

The answer is to give your villainous monologue while you're all alone. Shaving while delivering your monologue in the mirror is just a sensible time-saver, but has nothing otherwise to do with the actual monologue.
