Yeah....
We just have to wait, though. I've gotten good at waiting.
Fireweed is also a real thing, probably not what's being referenced here I'll admit, but it's real.

IIRC the recommended thing to do is drink milk.

Actually, drinking water doesn't hurt, it just doesn't help after you swallow. Alcohol is the one that makes it worse, and milk makes it better.

Unless he has two kinds of clients: those who buy products and those who pay admission charges.

Poor guy. He must not be a pyrosopher. Uncle James, however, MUST be a necrosopher. ... Humor.

When, in pokemon, even in a non-canon fan-designed region, would it make sense for a dragon to turn into a crab? Wouldn't it make more sense the other way around?

I mean the "evolution means a creature metamorphoses into a different creature" in general, not "dragons turn into crabs" specifically.

And I'm pretty sure Pokemon will eventually have a crustacean-looking dragon that grows huge pincers when it "evolves". I mean, infinite typewriting monkeys and all that stuff. When you've got an infinity of critters designed for an infinity of games, you'll eventually get the Crabagon. It's inevitable.

I think the locals know better. You go in with a list, you only buy things on the list, and if he asks you to "try a new recipe", always answer "No". Double check everything before, and after you buy, and threaten to burn the store down with him in it if anything's wrong with your order.

Even then, I don't think it'd be best to try: it just takes one mistake, at which point your entire family to need a horse-trough's worth of milk to recover...


Also, I'll be laughing in hindsight if Mr Beef Jerky happens to have Thaumaturge powers related to fire :D

Calling it now. The next few pages will be a fight to show off the "rules", but our mysterious stranger won't be fighting at 100% because he's hungry.

The inn, may or may not be fully destroyed but Wendy will still be roped in to "ADVENTURE!"

Alternatively, our focus will permanently shift to Mr. Mysterious, Wendy will not heed the call of "ADVENTURE!" and show up later in the plot having become a master 'sopher.

The suspense is certainly building, I am eager to see what's inside! Good job, Elagune!

... *Tries entering computer screen again*

On another note, it seems getting a burned-to-ash tongue has made our mysterious Sopher stutter. :3

I wonder if that will have effect on his fighting?

Drawing training from hell? So cool! Except for the fatigue, health risks and other side effects.

He barely said a thing before, so he might have been a stutter.

In which two characters are introduced

Sorry, I've been playing too much Jamestown.

Also, hoping that as the story progresses and it gets more interesting that the fanbase will grow. How's the pacing feeling to you guys so far?

this can go one of two ways that are logical:
1. Stranger (do we know his name yet, I vote Steve) goes bad ass, and kicks butt.
2. Or Stranger tries to fight and fails, the Wendy grabs a card and gets super lucky.
just ideas though
