“As the size of an explosion increases, the number of problems it is incapable of solving approaches zero.” -Varsuvius, from the webcomic Order of the Stick
Given how many big fights the group had in the last day (Tynan is less than 24 hours ago), they’re gonna sleep like babies for three days straight and then eat a boar’s worth of calories each.
Only Kendal and Alinua have gotten any sleep, and the only reason Kendal slept is because he STABBED HIMSELF. Erin refuses to sleep, because if he does, V.D. may go “hippity hoppity, your body is my property” and go cause problems, and Falst won’t let himself actually sleep (as opposed to passing out) cause he’s an angsty lil cat boy. Tess might be the only one that actually wants to keep a normal sleep schedule, but her brother is in trouble. So, yeah, most everyone’s kinda tired.
Falst: Iphone to websearch spells and random information, and to be a little jerk (affectionate) by correcting people. Kendall would be the one in the group who has a driver’s license and ferries all the homies around.
AAQ #25? I feel so confused!?! Anyway, for some reason I see Alinua going for a floppy hat and some sunglasses at the gas station store, Dainix would buy a tiny LED flashlight (or five, and batteries of course). For some strange reason I think Erin would be drawn to the hand magnifying glass (small details are important after all. Falst would go for the beefsticks or jerky I think. Tess would pick up a postcard or three (she corresponds a lot I can tell). I think Kendal wold go for bag of chips or nuts and insist on paying the cashier
Good point, but I’d think she’d find some rock formation, “disappointingly boring” old ruins, or an actual dragon to punch before hurting her new favorite plushie.
OK but why am I picturing them going to a bookstore, and one by one everyone goes up to Kendal saying, “Hey, you should get this one!” and “this one” is a self-help guide to mental health… and each time Kendal tricks them into buying it for themselves instead, because he’s too busy looking for a book that will help him free Vash from the Collector
Ooo good question!
Eryn would bring a nook, assuming those would still work in Aurora, of course, so that he could have infinite books, or if not, one of those metal pen things that never run out. Ali would probably do something healing-related idk what tho. Falst: iPod or some other music device, both for chilling and for messing with people. Kendal would get a plush. Idk about Tess.
Does an exorcist count as an item? I think Erin would like to borrow one of those.
In all seriousness, if the Internet somehow works in Aurora land, I feel like most of them would get a phone or something like it. Tess can charge them whenever she needs to.
C’mon Alinua! You could have at least folded the cape before dumping it on the ground.
You can really see the conflict between Alinua and the glort by the magic lines. The life swirls are there but unlike previous castings they’re broken instead of continuous, inconsistent across the whole, and too sharp in places. Meanwhile the glort’s pattern is showing underneath and it even looks like it’s trying to form arms with the wood.
As I feared, Alinua has only been feeding the glort; the pace at which the it’s been able to absorb her plants is frightening. Perhaps the glort has a more difficult time absorbing things with defined souls, like people, so needs to hold them down via trauma vision and absorb them slowly. Alinua’s plants, made quickly with just vegetation, would have barely any soul energy.
Dainix might be onto something; after giving the glort a solid base, they can no take advantage of the weaknesses of said base. I’m not sold though; it’s proven to resist fire, and there’s still so many unknowns about this monster. Erin the expositioner, where are you?!
Oh no what if that makes it worse. the glort absorbs the life…. could it absorb the fire? also- glort theory: the reason its Like That is void. I hope my poor boys will end up ok 🙁
It didn’t seem interested in absorbing the fire when Dainix tried it before, although maybe that’s how it managed to extinguish him so easily? Either way, I agree that this thing has big Void/Consumption vibes, even before you consider the name “Voidhammer”.
For mobile readers.
Alt-text: the question is not “is fire the solution” the question is “how do I make fire the solution”
Image source: situation
judging by the colors of that sound effect—fire may not be the solution to this one.
Fire is not the answer. Fire is the question. The answer is yes.
bro stole my joke lmao
That got a chuckle from me when I read it. How PC (Player Character) of you Red!

Explosions and sticks?! Count me in.
I’m always so excited to see another oots fan in the wild
ah the hammer mans conundrum: how do I make it a nail….
Fire didn’t work last time? Try more fire!

LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO???? I FORGOT ABOUT TRHAT
Less than 24 hours ago? Make that less than 12 HOURS AGO!
It was evening when they fought Tynan. This is still the night right after!
they have nearly as bad a sleep schedule as me!
Only Kendal and Alinua have gotten any sleep, and the only reason Kendal slept is because he STABBED HIMSELF.

“hippity hoppity your body is my property.”
I love it.
Girl, bones are so last season, you should try this new fashion: WOOD
Anonymous Aurora Question #25: If the floof squad could each choose one item from the modern world to carry with them, what would each one choose?
for all of them: A Gun.

Erin would stretch the definition of “item” and get himself a triple screen PC setup to shove in his bag of holding. For research purposes.
Tess would get a dragon plushie. The only dragon to never get beat up by her.
Okay, but are you sure the Dragon plushie won’t get beat up because Erin’s being stupid and is too far away to have some sense slapped into him?
Good point, but I’d think she’d find some rock formation, “disappointingly boring” old ruins, or an actual dragon to punch before hurting her new favorite plushie.

I absolutely see this. now what modern item could help him free Vash? Possibly a completed aurora book set?
Ooo good question!

You might even say it’s an Evil Tree.
I am now imagining it turning into a tall, Dark Knight-like figure determined to return all to the void.
Hey, wait a moment… The Void Dragon is actually Exdeath in disguise!
It’s going to absorb the fire now isn’t it
Hm is Erin going to use void to destroy it?
I love the colors in this panel. Panel one is definitely epic! I especially love the “Fwoosh” in panel four! So lively!
facepalm

I don’t think Aliuna is going to like the fire, it’ll probably hurt her since she’s trying to control what’s going to be burnt.
Normally the bot would have commented by now…
I think Red blocked it!
Knock on wood, but I hope so.
I sure hope so… Fingers crossed.
Really hoping the bot is gone. *Crosses fingers*
The day is passed. I believe it is vanquished.
Huzzah!
I think Dainix may have some pent up aggression for the glort that he would like to let out in a calm, rational, and healthy manner.
TL;DR: But can I enact arson yet?
Tess and Kendal coming soon, i predict
Oh no what if that makes it worse. the glort absorbs the life…. could it absorb the fire? also- glort theory: the reason its Like That is void. I hope my poor boys will end up ok 🙁

I’m… caught up? But how?! I want to have unending floof pages!
Loving Aurora so far and can’t wait for the next update!
Welcome to the fandom!
Jeff eats all manner of things, including wood
But if Life can’t hurt it, perhaps Fire could?
dendro + pyro = a lot of dying
