Cucumber Quest

Yeah, I agree this is probably just a ruse to make them let their guards down.

I like the idea of it suddenly dropping the floor out from under them and acting surprised that they're suddenly scared of heights.

I don't think betting against a villain being a huge nerd is a very smart move to make.

• He's a huge nerd, but next time will be different. They shouldn't let their guards down.
• Cucumber still a little disappointed in her little sister. character arrrrrcssssss
• Wonder what the unit of measure on that ruler is?

I'd assume just straight up inches, since 3.5 ft-ish seems about right for animal people.

It's probably some weird bunny person unit. Flops or some shit.

ETA for next update: November 4

Also, Gigi wrote some stuff about webcomicing (or project commitment, rather)

(The "recent advice" referred to in that ask is "don't commit to something that will take you 10 years to finish, especially as a teenager")

Aaaand update!

no rly next one is going to get you for sure

Promises.

oh my God

Could still be a trick, I think.

Just wait, the next floor'll be David Pumpkins.

Was this guy forbidden for his power, or because he's even more useless than Splashmaster?

That's what I was thinking too. It's hard to do worse than Splashmaster, but he managed it.

I find it hard to believe though, that the Knight (with what we know about his motivations) would actually abandon one of his masters for being useless, unless it was VERY early on (and then it's weird that he wouldn't go back on it). He didn't abandon Splashmaster after all, even though he clearly disrespects the guy.

Yeah, considering how much of a big softie NK is, it makes me wonder if there isn't some horrible secret to the Forsaken Master. Whether this utter failure at being scary is just Obfuscating Stupidity or if they have some other quality about them that makes them dangerous.

He's certainly very underwhelming so far, and it's pretty early on in the chapter.

I think there's something big coming from him.

I figure he can't be a serious threat because if he was the NK wouldn't have led Cordelia release him.

Maybe Forsaken is actually a danger to themself, and they were sealed away for their own protection.

I think the Forsaken Master actually does have the potential to become incredibly dangerous, but the Nightmare Knight decided to seal him away before that could happen. Right now it appears that they're able to create literally anything pertaining to someone's "fears", but it just doesn't have enough experience to fully understand what mortals find truly frightening, having been isolated from the rest of the world for so long.

New update.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

What a troll.

Those fangies. That face when Cordelia starts sweating. That last Peridot face.
