. Kendal stares at the vine for another moment, before slowly standing up, clutching his side. Then he looks towards the beach suddenly as a splash sounds.
. He spots a vine orb, like the one that had contained him, floating near the beach. He runs over to it, feet splashing in the water. “I’ve got you, “ he says, grabbing one of the vines. “Move back, I’ll cut through–” He cuts off as Falst slashes his claw through the vines, falling out of it with his other arm clutching demonheart-Dainix to his chest.
Sorry I’m late, I had a busy day
I’m guessing that Kendal was hoping Alinua was in that Vrorb. And of course he’ll be relieved that Falst and Dainix are safe, but he’ll also be disappointed and pretty worried that she’s nowhere to be found. Maybe Alinua will have her Mermaid Adventure?
Ah, not quite a solo adventure!
Falst has no patience left (as always tbh), but I think it’s warranted. He just spent who knows how many hours floating aimlessly in a plorb with Dainix as a rock.
I was going to say no because I thought the enclosed space would make the air get very stuffy, but then I remembered it was made out of magical plants which would be reoxygenating the air. So yes, as long as in inside isn’t too wet.
After the destruction of the damn boat, trees and foliage have now returned to Aurora, at least in panel 5. Nature is healing.
While I’m sure Kendal is glad Falst is safe in there (and Dainix is maybe-safe), I just know he’s hoping Alinua is in that plorb too. But, alas, their pod was already closed when Nessie struck, so looks like Ali is on her own. Kendal, Falst, and demonheart-Dainix are staying as one group, Tess is looking after Erin somewhere (and hopefully no V.D. shenanigans), and Alinua is MIA.
Kendal’s presence should smooth over any tension if Caliban appears to help Dainix; I bet Falst would be very protective and immediately suspicious of Cali’s intentions. Although, if helping Dainix involves going up to Rakhn, as I theorise, it could drive a wedge between Falst who wants to go up the volcano, and Kendal who wants to keep searching the shore for Alinua.
Yeah. Kendal cares about all of his friends, but I think Alinua was definitely the one he was hoping to find first. She said back in 1.20.2 that with Kendal, everywhere feels like home, and I think Kendal feels the same way about her, even if he hasn’t articulated the fact. He’s sure as hell not going to stop looking for her – and probably won’t even take a break from it – unless someone gives him a *very* compelling reason to do so.
Coming out of my Plorb and I’ve been doing Not Good.
Gotta gotta be Bad because I want it None !
It started out with a Ship, how did it end up like this ?
It was only a Ship, it was only a Ship…
Alinua, where are you ;_; and Kendal, clearly worried about her and feeling rough… The guy needs a hug and a blanket.
It’s nice to see that at least he’s reuniting with Falst (who is cradling Dainix-rock against his chest, augh). I’m going to hesitantly guess that Alinua somehow ends up near Erin and Tess, so the party is split for a while, but only into two groups instead of four.
I’m sure that it’s completely fine that Falst’s response to help was to help himself by slashing in the same direction Kendal’s voice came from. Clearly the sign of someone mentally alright and happy.
Kendal+Falst duo arc? And, potentially, a Tess+Erin duo arc and Alinua solo arc simultaneously. We’re gonna get so much good character insight in this one
Thoughts: The Collector doesn’t want to kill Kendal, she wants to study him.
Ergo, her shipkiller chimera should have been designed to capture.
Alinua was the only person on the boat not wrapped in a plorb when they hit the water.
I don’t think the shipkiller chimera would have any way to differentiate what body was the one the Collector wanted?
I’ve been wondering for a very long time what might happen if the person who believes she is doing right by Life by destroying the world to free her had a long heart-to-heart with the only person with a direct line to Life.
(Additional thoughts of how would the Collector react to finding out that freeing Life would still kill her, because freeing her would unmake the Void Dragon’s adamant prison.)

Oh and just in case you didn’t see my reply last page @Zer0 W0lf, yeah you can put my doc on the Aurora discord thing
A second plorb washes up on the beach
With his claws does Falst its exterior breach
Well. At least Falst and Dainix are OK! Could be … worse …
Alrighty, there’s Falst (and Dainix the Rock Johnson). Only Alinua is unaccounted for. She’s fine, guys, she’s fine…
We have a split party again, unless Tess decided to investigate the plorbs in the aftermath of the LS Deathtrap being sunk.
Or tess fires off a lightning flare so they can converge on her location
That would be cool
or Tess thinks they all blew up and isn’t gonna do anything to give her location away to the Paladins.
Maybe she’ll show up in another Floof Mystery Prize Orb.
it’s been an entire day and i am still losing my mind over dainix the rock johnson
Ah, not quite a solo adventure!
Falst has no patience left (as always tbh), but I think it’s warranted. He just spent who knows how many hours floating aimlessly in a plorb with Dainix as a rock.
He’s also very well-equipped for getting out of Plorbs. Probably better-equipped than Kendal, TBH.
That “SHRIP” was suspiciously yellow. Or is it too yellow to be, uh… the mystery thing?
Falst’s sound effects are always color-coded yellow, just like Kendal’s was blue last page
Aurora Question #34: Would you take a ride in the Plorb
If it had windows. Maybe Alinua could make some kind of translucent surface from something like insect wing tissue?
Considering the alternative- yes being wrapped in a plorb is better then falling straight into sea with out one. But mileage may vary…
I would take a ride in the plorb if and only if I had a buddy.
give me a fleece blanket, a reading light, and a good book and hell yeah, where are we headed
We had the same thought lol
Also not me forgetting that this comic existed for two whole pages-
sure sounds like fun
I’d do it
I was going to say no because I thought the enclosed space would make the air get very stuffy, but then I remembered it was made out of magical plants which would be reoxygenating the air. So yes, as long as in inside isn’t too wet.
yeah
MY BOY IS BACK!
wow, a kitty! this gachapon machine sure has cool prizes!
A second orb breaks the surface softly,
Kendal runs, brings it about.
“I’ve got you. Move back, I’ll cut through-” he says,
Falst claws his way out.
kendal and falst team-up this chapter?? 😀
ooh i hope so!! i love their dynamic and we haven’t seen them together in agesss
Er, that particular assistance may not be required. 🙂
Thank you though!
Of course, now we need to find out how Dainix is doing.
falst really be like “no u”
Stand up way too late and decided I might as well catch the comic when it releases. And I’m glad I did!
Last time I was this early Red still put kaiju fight jumpscares in the Trope Talks
Why do I get the feeling someone is getting their Life-changing Zuko Field Trip right now?
HELL YEAH
Cat boy cargo secured!
Panel one is Kendal realizing that Alinua saved him.
Invasive plant species are actually Kinder eggs with a person inside!
Maybe the invasive plant species were the friends we found along the way

The way he’s still hugging Dainix 🥺

HAHA I CALLED IT! PLORB!!
Kendal: I guess I must carry on as a lone wolf-
*Another plant bundle washes us*
Kendal: Oh, thank goodness I really didn’t want to have to do that
it was only a fish, how did it end up like this
it was only a fish, IT WAS ONLY A FISSSHH
Just be glad there are no Undead starfish around!
*Applause*
there is always a bigger fish
Except when it’s Jormungadr
There is a madgascar joke here somewhere.
I’m sure that it’s completely fine that Falst’s response to help was to help himself by slashing in the same direction Kendal’s voice came from. Clearly the sign of someone mentally alright and happy.
I mean, I assume he heard the splashing and knew that Kendall was coming from the shore so that was the safe way to fall.
This page is giving Castaways.
Don’t worry everyone, this volcanic island has trees! That means it can’t be evil, right?
Claws, or as they’re colloquially known, built-in mini-swords
TL;DR: Cat in the grass!
Welp, it’s been a good run but I can’t in good conscience stick with Aurora, even free-to-play, now that it’s introduced gacha mechanics.
“Nah, I got me too.”
kendals :)))) artfully :))) ripped shirt :)))) im not attracted to men but….. hohohoohoooo :))))
Well I am, and I can confirm that there are thoughts to be had about it. Be still my beating heart!
Kendal+Falst duo arc? And, potentially, a Tess+Erin duo arc and Alinua solo arc simultaneously. We’re gonna get so much good character insight in this one
Instead of unconscious party member, plorb contained bobcat.
“Would not buy again”
Well I wasn’t expecting to get caught up so quickly… oh no I’m caught up and have nothing more to read, what now?
But how is Daniel going to recover from being stoned?!
I would like to apologize for my autocorrect that corrected “Dainexl” to “Daniel” against my will.
regardless, please never say those words again 😀
loving the new ruggedly distressed kendal
Ok I have a feeling that Alinua may meet mermaids, due to foreshadowing earlier.
Ali has life on her side, many are the ways she could pull through. Plorb, sugar glider, 50ft woman, etc.
He really did burst through that thing like the Kool Aid Man busting through a wall XD
RIP another one of Kendal’s shirts -_-
The Character page has been updated
I’m so freaking excited to watch this friendship. I just imagine Kendal’s severe depth of mutual respect softening Falst
