"Hannah's Law of DMFA: If a character is portrayed as having been killed, but is then found to not be dead, they will inevitably truly end up dead towards the end of the story arc."

RIP Deadbun :(

Shoot! Amber, you actually had him do it. You actually killed Hannah. You have transformed DP in my eyes and raised him to truly epic levels. He practically defines the concept of Dangerously Genre Savvy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DangerouslyGenreSavvy). Dang. I cannot wait for Monday. And Abel's Story is getting an update! Just out of curiosity, does that spell have a name, or is it just a kill anything I shoot at" spell?

Now I need to sit in a corner and think through the implications of these events.

Oh, and that's a really cool story about the snake, Amber. My mom did something similar once, except it was a dachshund puppy and he was hiding in her overalls.

Well, that sucks.  I guess I can just hope that making the undead won't be and isn't the only mistake DP made/makes.  It's a long shot in this case but I'm content to sit and wait.  Great comic!  Dp's style is quite nice. :D

Sure, and it was just a shadow clone Jiraiya during that last battle...

I'm sorry to sound so calloused, but I'd be extremely surprised if she isn't finished off and fully dead.

I hoping she is. I'd lose respect for the scene if she survived. Sides, with undead it's really only a yes or no. Either her brain is gone or it's not. The reaminated get no defeated speeches.

Uh... what's the trope term for that? I've forgotten.

Thankfully I went to the store that specialized in reptiles...thus this wasnt the most crazy of things they likely saw. It helped that I had also explained I was pet sitting and the heat-lamp had gone out and my place was particularly air conditioned.  Still, it was kind of an awkward thing for me. :U

Funny you should ask. *puts on her nerd-goggles*

This is, in fact, a particular spell albeit it is lacking a name at the time...mainly cause Dark Pegasus hasnt really patented it or made it common enough to really warrent one.  While it can be a painful and fatal spell to anything it hits, its prime target is in fact the Undead.  It would make sense, seeing as few creatures likely know as much as Dark Pegasus about the innerworkings of the magic that created the Undead.

It's basically a two-fold spell. One part of the spell will pretty much negate the very magic that holds an Undead together so-to-speak and releases the soul from the body, the other half is what tends to reduce the body to a cinder.  Without the magics that hold the Undead together, the body is a lot more vulnerable to being disintigrated.  On the flipside, casting this spell on a living body will make it impossible for said individual to become Undead...though odds are there wouldn't be enough left to go Undead anyways...but just saying.

And DP is right by the way. My Dad says the best way to hang up on someone is while you're talking to them, especially if you are in the middle of one of your main points. People never expect someone to hang up while they're talking.

Despite all that has happened mu own respect for Pegasus has risen as well..

His intellect seemingly far surpasses that of other dark side members I've seen, and for one to be as strategical and organized as him (even though he's still in the midst of putting his plans together) I can't help but admire that.

I'm still curious about his future goals though, the whole bit with the dark god..there's not even a small background on what this supposed god is capable of and why Pegasus even wants to really revive him.

I try not to question the motive of a person but Pegasus has proven to be an interesting demon.

I have friends who keep a snake, and I wouldn't want to do that with her; she's a 9 ft constrictor. They call her Lucy. She's about 5 inches across. Seriously. She eats hares. Whole hares. One every month to six weeks.


Lovely snake, but do _not_ get between her and lunch. ;-]

Duly noted..  :erk

I've never been a fan of snakes, while they are interesting there the kind of animal i like to view from afar, like on television or at a zoo, up close snakes are one of the things that give me that 'staring at death' feeling.

Although, Amber, do we ever find out what happens to his horn? By the time of his first appearance, it's (at best) a bump.

A coworker once brought in her baby boa when I was pregnant with my first son. Since my body temp was naturally higher due to my condition, it slithered up my arm and nestled in my bra under my boob.  :cool

Ah well, I guess that quashes alot of my hope right there.  Either way: sad to see her go, can't wait to see where this all goes. :D

I know next to nothing about snakes as pets, but I've got to give you a lot of credit for your diligence in it's care.  I'm not afraid of snakes personally but I'm sure it takes a special kinda of guts to let one take up residence on your person while you rush to care for it.  That's pretty awesome.

*Charline is pleased*  That's much better evil.  A blast right in the middle of speaking certainly does catch heroes by surprise.  Of course, it's even better to catch them in the middle of one of their heroic monologues.  They're totally un-prepared for that.

The hero's all like, "I won't let you harm the innocent anymore, wicked Charline!  You may claim your powers are so vast that the universe will be yours, but so long as I'm..."  KZAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPP!!!  Then after the hero's reduced to a little smoking ash pile, I can't help but slip in a little sarcasm.  You know, something like, "Sorry, didn't catch that last part.  Your vaporization was a bit noisy."  And then I go off and eat more children.   >:3

DP here kinda reminds me of the creatures in "Akatsuki", actually.  Not really classic 'bad guy' yet, just after his own plans while other creatures and beings are after him.  I like it because the ayakashi aren't given the typical one-sided evil-monster thing.  They have good reasons for killing the horrid humans, because the humans keep killing them and they're just trying to protect their own kind!  Frankly, I think they have much more right, because they have powers and stuff, and might makes right!  But I may be biased. *has powers, is a monster, likes to eat people... and loves to be evil*

Of course, since this is a serious pseudo-realism ideology the story's getting into, the comic must never have humor again.  No, it must now become filled with emo and angst as Dan struggles to define himself, his mind torn assunder as he is pulled back and forth between Beings and Creatures.  Jyrras turns to mass Creature-killing with his WMDs and Dan is forced to slay his old friend by order of the Creature Council!  Merlitz is caught in an ambush and dies thinking of how he wished he could have died in Arry's wing-tentacles instead... for he still loved her!  And Dan finds out that the ambush was not set by Creatures, but by Being theives!  Then, upon going out to have vengeance, he is seen killing them with his Cubi powers and called a monster by villagers!  Then adventurers come after him and he's forced to kill them to defend himself... and they're all his old adventuring friends!  And he goes into a bout of intense depression and self-loathing that lets Destania creep back into his life and convince him to join her plans!  And the dragon race is destroyed all except for Pyroduck... who gets killed by Destania in front of Dan's eyes!  And then Dan, realizing at last his mother's evil is forced to kill his own mother!  And it drives him to madness, out alone into the wastelands a last, great Creature-Being war erupts and extinguishes all life!  Then at last, Dan kills himself after shouting to the void the futility of life.  I see it going the way of "Wolf's Rain", becoming so utterly depressing as one character after another dies a tragic and horrible lonely death, to the point where we'll all want to commit suicide by the end!  Yay!   :boogie

*Charles interjects foolishly*  Well, no.  The Fae can't be killed, so they'll always be around.  And if they don't like the way things are going, they can just do the god thing and put things back how they want.  And let's not forget, Mab is always watching.  I doubt she'd let events get out of hand.

*Charline grrs*  Stop ruining my happy fantasies of sorrow and misery!  *mauls Charles*  Stupid Fae and their all-powerful Deus ex Machina-ness...  >:[

I'm not sure that this is an entirely evil act by Dark Pegasus. He comments that some need to move on more that others.

Perhaps his original mistake with the Undead wasn't just to his own detriment, but to the detriment of those souls he bound to their corpses. If there was some nonobvious negative side effect to your soul being waylaid from continuing along its path, perhaps Dark Pegasus has figured that much out and wishes to correct it whenever possible.

Post by: thegayhare on July 18, 2008, 12:48:48 PM
well no I was thinking magic that was based around secrets, pathways, doors and locks.

the key hole would be a basic spell for channeling energy, like the palm blast from DP 

lock based spells could have to do with sealing something,  through a ritual spell you summon a key, and you can use that key to seal something away.  you have to have a specific target for the spell.  Like say you wanted to lock away a person's memories of a specific event you would summon a key just for that, you'd then have to bring the key into contact with them and lock it away.  after that the key is real and you'd need to use it again to break the seal.  Keys reflect what ever is sealed a key to some one's memory would look very different from the key to a demon.

pathway and door spells could range from transportation type spells to large scale keyhole magics

I must think of a way that she could still be alive. When DP released her soul, it traveled to occupy the remaining in-tact part of her (her fluffy tail). So, she still lives...in the tail, but needs to be built a new metal body.

Yes...

Amber already told that it coudn't be done because the spell frees the soul out of the undead body, but the thought crossed my mind really.

Looking back a few strips it seems Dan is indirectly responsible for the current re-dead bunny girl misfortune, if he hadn't challenged DP on his 'evilness' they could have made a break for it, oops :reaper

Part of me keeps saying I should feel bad for Hannah, but I just can't seem to get over how utterly awesome DP is in this strip. And the expo behind the spell just makes it cooler. (or hotter, as the case may be. :mowwink)
Maybe I'll feel bad for her after I get evilLena reigned in... :mwaha

Amber, for some reason your story makes me want to get a ball python.

Other than that note, I'm gawking in open disbelief. I'll come up with something more intelligible than "HANNAH! NOOOO!" later.

My inner storyteller does find it ironic that you killed the one who was already dead, Amber... I am honestly smirking through my initial sadness and shock.

*Analyzes with tricorder*  She's dead, Jim.  But that only took about 5 minutes or so to type.  I'm very fast when I get an idea going.  Especially when it involves horrible tragedy and doom!   It's like autopilot at that point. 

BTW... has anyone noticed that DP's death beam there kinda looks like a Care Bear Stare?  All it needs are a few hearts and rainbows mixed in...  *wishes he could do Photoshop or something and create the delightful abomination of an image floating about in his twisted brain.*   >:3

Ah, yes. A lovely female's leg is always worth noting. However, the tail isn't worth noting unless it's part of a love affair with a certain fluffball at a later date, and since pieces is a plural there aren't any pieces worth noting.

The list will never be complete. It can never be completed. With each passing generation, new villains shall add the wisdom of their era to it, a rule here, a law there, until finally one of them succeeds in conquering the whole world.

Besides, I can imagine him reading a few rules each night before he goes to bed... I wonder if he sleeps with a stuffed animal?

As for the fight between two-dimensional symbol and cardboard box... FIGHT!

Hi, rocket_red1, welcome to the forum! My name is Jairus (Jay-rus, not Jy-ras) and everyone here is nuts! Don't tick off the Box, and you should do fine.

The problem with this idea is simply that before this flashback arc, we had never even heard of Hannah. For Jyrras to accomplish something of that technological prowess (which, considering the gatling gun and the "mining instrument" and the Mecha-Gryphon (Deebs doesn't count: she was an accident), might not be too far out of reach - at least for a while) and for it not to at least be mentioned (i.e. Matilda saying to Jyrras "Oh, you're the one who built that cyborg body for that undead rabbit a few years back! I read about you in a magazine" instead of the article about Jy-Corp and the mention of his toasters) is a little hard to swallow. Plus, where would she have been all of these years? Tech of that level would still be experimental, and would probably require regular checkups from Jyrras in order to keep it working properly, so she might not have gone far from Lost Lake. There's just too much that would need to happen for that to work out, unfortunately. I think she's dead. As sad as it is, and no matter how much we don't want it to be.

If you look at Ambers post, it pretty clearly says that the spell is designed to destroy undead.. not to mention she took it pretty well full on the face from the looks of it.

There would not be nearly so much anguished shouting from behind DP--and we would have been shown at least a little of the spell coming at her--if that was going to happen. But notice that Hannah wasn't even drawn. I think she's pretty much irrevocably gone by now. But hey, maybe this is why Dan will be able to defeat DP...

first, it does not show the impact, second, wether or not they survive, seeing your sisters body disintegrate would speak you. third, we should have heard of Alyka before we did. fourth, this is years back remember. they could have done the check up thing, with upgrades being made, till it was perfected.  one last thing I have to say, I was going out on a limb. I made a huge asumption. the chance she survives is like 1 in 1894766.

My stepmom's ex husband actually went to school with Steve Perry and Neil Schon.. He was the drummer in thier high school band, but he didn't go touring with them because Steve and Neil smoked pot, and he thought they weren't going to go anywhere.
Silly him.. Now he's kicking himself in the ass.

And for evidence, if you ever talk to Steve Perry, ask him about "Tallie". Like, tall with an e. Not tally like the marks.


But, yeah. I haven't posted on here in FOREVER, and just needed to comment on the Journey quote. Gotta love the classic rock.
