15-00 - Part Three - Heads You Lose

Hurray for a new chapter but, I am anticipating more "bad stuff".

As I may have said, "Bounty" was originally supposed to be Project Future III, i.e. the sequel to Epsilon.  But it somehow ended up more like a successor to "Heads You Lose" instead, as Tim and Keaton can attest.

And by all means, I'm here for the bad stuff too, I think I may have written that wrong. And considering other comics I've read like "Jack", the stuff here isn't that graphic.

15-01 - You had one job

When you want to go full "Queen of hearts" but you remember the godlike creature in control of stuff being iffy about that kinda thing.

The shark may have gotten off the line, but the little fish looks juicy enough for the chef's taste.

15-02 - Guillotine diplomacy

Methinks lady Featherstone is going to get one more opportunity and royally screw it up. I'm getting the popcorn ready for this one.

To whichever Lord sent Bevan to treat with Featherstone (and I have a very good idea who it is): Respectfully, My Lord, your diplomatic efforts are in vain with this one.

15-03 - That wasn't supposed to happen!

Bevan's neck really did a number on that blade!

15-04 - Bevan's Message

Yeah, our girl's basically fucked herself before the negotiations have even begun.

"Lady Featherstone, I hope this message finds you unwell."
And I guess Bevan is going to switch from treating to dealing soon.

So I made a forum account just to say that this speciesist possum is long overdue for actually dying instead of just playing dead. They really should have literally lost their head back in 14-05 and I hope they aren't left breathing for very much longer.

It's been a long while since I've hated a character as much as I hate this would-be queen. Dolores Umbridge comes to mind.

Sadly we'll have to put up with her for a bit longer.  As they say, the wheels of justice turn slow but grind exceeding fine

An enchanted blade eh? Incoming "My blade monologue"

 MY BLADE will destroy you in a single strike. MY BLADE was made from ore found in the furthest, most forsaken realms, it was then bathed in hot lava for millennia and forged under a full moon. Hammered into perfection by dwarven blacksmiths with autism. (so you know it's good)

MY BLADE was blessed by dark elf priests, high on DMT. It is imbued with every enchantment known to man.

Every. Single. One.

MY BLADE smells of lilacs. MY BLADE possesses a 100% chance of decapitating its foes. It has been struck by lightning 1000 times. Statistically Impossible, Much like your chances of surviving this encounter. (Which to clarify is zero)

MY BLADE has been greased in Gnome Semen. (so you know it's good)

Once, MY BLADE merely grazed the skin of a mighty dragon, the beast perished instantly, Much like your mother when she first saw your face.

I wonder what Featherstone-flavoured meal would taste like... Probably revolting.

Very sad indeed. Was really hoping Bevan would "defend himself". Fatally. For her. I guess he's got warp aci backup or something and can just leave if she has something that can actually hurt him.

One day I'm going to watch all of Chaotic Good Barbarian but I have to be in a very specific mindset to enjoy that brand of humor. As it is right now I've only watched a handful of them. My Blade being one of them.

I don't know. She's a noble, if a formally disgraced one and now one rebuilding her territory, so she probably eats rather well and doesn't seem to be idle and isn't overly fat. All of her hate and vitriol could maybe foul the meat due to hormones and whatnot but there is obviously not enough study on that sort of thing in our world. I'm sure some Demon or Dragon has done the research on Furrae though. I wonder what the cookbook for that would be called.

If it's any consolation, she's rapidly moving up several people's kill lists, but she's not going down without a fight.

And Bevan is out. Without a blond haired decapitated head sadly. Just got to wait for her to be removed from the picture but man is that wait not going to be easy.

Bevan's unbothered or "this shit is getting old fast but I am under instruction NOT to harm anyone." expression is just comedy gold.

My refrain's probably getting old by now, but dear God, do I miss the 'praise' button.
