41-01 - Deal or no deal?

Team Daryil: Everyone is on the same page. This includes Richard.
Team Fa`Rana: Compartmentalized and running at cross purposes.

Once again, our resident Cloud Cuckoolander has proven that it is better to Obfuscate Insanity than to actually Be Insane. The only reason he's still 10 steps behind Lady Finch and Co. is because he started rather late in the game.
Conservative Democrat or Liberal Republican: You decide!
The Centrist line has moved a long way to the Right over the years.

I'd argue that's a horribly shallow argument, except it's completely true. ~ooklah

41-03 - Not looking good

Oh snap... If that chest pain is from what I think it is... Oh, poor Richard. 😭

Likely, someone's making a move.

More of a slow moving earth slide. I can't remember which chapter it was in, but Richard's dad was a mole placed by Daryil into Clan Fa`Rana, and was last seen voicing concern about being found out. Clearly, those concerns were well founded.  :cry

41-04 - Video Nasty

So not dead quite yet, but life signs are failing.

Or rather about to fail. In a very sharp manner, unless I'm very much mistaken.

41-05 - A short, sharp, shock

And... Negotiations have broken down. On both side. This is officially personal.   :cry

Lady Finch? You might want to consider switching sides while you still have a neck.  :erk

41-06 - Some of these words may come back to haunt him.

It is official. Richard is the one who is going to put a tentacle wing through the carbonized lump of coal that The Professor calls a heart. Or maybe a dagger. The beam from a particle accelerator cannon? Jostle his arm during his Ascension attempt and then watch his soul explode? Something? Anything?

41-07 - Daryil knows something The Professor doesn't

"He was watching!" Oh crap! 'Leaving the room' and 'close the door behind you' are two separate things. It is official: the boy be traumatized.  :cry

"Don't sneak back in" is another thing besides.

I went back over the last few updates to see if there was any hints in the background I missed.

The whimpering last page... I was wondering why a warrior like Illiath was having that reaction. That was actually Richard, wasn't it.  :brokenheart

I assumed it was Daryil...

It was Richard, and it was put there as a foreshadowing.

41-08 - Desks are the first to go when a 'Cubi gets angry

It was at this moment, The Professor knew, he ****ed up. "Cut the call. CUT THE CALL!"
Yeah, Lady Finch is going to have another of her 'break everything and everyone in the room' sessions after this.

And i'm already getting the popcorn to go with that moment.
