Aaaand his physical similarity to Fighter suddenly dawns on me. I now eagerly await either his wielding of sword-chucks, his stating, “I like swords,” or his enacting the Glorious Chainsaw Method.
Mentally he’s about as far from Fighter as possible though, and I think that mentality is required to even consider wielding sword-chucks. Unfortunately.
Last panel completely made me fall over laughing! I have a friend in the real world who at times pulls off an expression just like that. No smoke, though, more’s the pity.
I’m liking this B-team more and more. I mean, the main protagonists are clearly those weirdos we started with (you know, the ones who’re actually in coloured vats in the real world – did you forget that for a moment?), but whenever shit gets real and we discover what their super special deal is, it’ll be good to have a second string of support characters to help make the personal case for the virtual world.
Only problem with that is that we don’t know for sure if they’re NPCs or just other players who aren’t using the vats. After all, the head honcho with the glasses is able to watch everything and they made money off of it. So people can log in using computers without getting sucked in. The vats are the only thing trapping people in the world.
vat people… heheh.. like pod people?
“mmmmm….. Vat Juice! Vat’s very nice! Zo very, very revrezshingk! Ahhhhh….!”
“Oh no! Don’t drink that! It’s people! Vat Juice is made of PEOPLE!!” Well actually, not really, Madge; they just soaked in it.
Eeeeewwwww!!!!!
No. I am not high. I am just naturally this way. Yay me.
Y’know… panels 5 to 8 are brilliant.
They capture the experience so perfectly.
That moment when, in the midst of your strange train of thought meandering through the land of Drug-Addled-Haze, you finally realise that someone is talking to you…
… followed by several moments of slowly trying to re-learn motor functions, and the potential for getting distracted by how novel it is that you have to remember how to move…
… so that by the time you’re finally facing them, you have absolutely no idea what was going on or what it was that got your attention.
Bandit in the 3rd panel reminds me of Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure time
I find panel 4 adorable for some reason.
Now, I just realized that we’ll never know from now on in any given scene if Scipio is just stoic or stoned out of his mind.
Scipio is Chiefing like, well, a Chief. I was gonna say like a boss, but I realized that would be redundant.
Forever stoned.
Turns out, he fell into the hookah as a wee babe…
Those kobolds he was smashing earlier? He was seeing Care Bears…
*Mind Blown*
It’s not that you’ve never seen Scipio high, it’s that you’ve never seen him sober.
Oh my cog I cannot stop laughing.
Please make the last panel into an avatar.
Frigg will definitely try to one-up him again.
So that’s why he doesn’t fear a freaking thing
Facepalm avatar strikes again!
E-Merl is so adorably awkward.
Also, Bandit is officially the best leader, after this. >_>
She so is. HeeHEE.
Also, Rachel looks particularly beautiful in this one.
Yes, yes she is.
Indeed, she’s smoking.
HUUUHH?
Those last four panels are Pure. Frickin. GOLD.
Scipio delivers his super secret finishing move: The Shotgun.
Who wouldn’t be in like? She is smokin’ hot.
Scipio’s stoned like a sack of rocks.
He takes his role very seriously; He’s tanking as much of that smoke as he can, to protect the rest from its effects.
“Well, yes, I took the drug, but I didn’t exhale….”
That’s some lung capacity. I wonder how he’d do in Drownball?
I think he’s been holding that in since Monday. Maybe since last Friday!

She needs to shut her FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
Wrong webcomic?
Wrong webcomic, but masterfully done!!!
Final panel, why am I getting shades of the Hookah Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland with that one? lol
That’s some talent, Scippy.
I did not realize Scipio’s last name was Ironlungs …
Last panel completely made me fall over laughing! I have a friend in the real world who at times pulls off an expression just like that. No smoke, though, more’s the pity.
That’s some good team building!
That last panel really made me laugh out loud! That explains much.
And E-Merl is simply adorable. He’s almost surpassing Best in the list of my favorites characters. He only needs more “screen time”.
…btw, I miss Best.
I love how the two fighters are the ones getting stoned our of their minds.
also, I agree. avatar for that last one. plzkthx.
Tanks need to relax. It’s hard taking everyone else’s damage for them.
I can’t tell if he’s too stoned to notice or just never opened his eyes next to E-Merl and Rachael to know better.
Did Scipio just open his eyes for the first time?
Be careful, kids. Sillibus is a gateway drug to harder things, like coarsewyrk and studdy-ying.
Also, barefoot Bandit is sooooo cute.
*applause*
I had to read it twice before I got it. Bravo!
I really need to emulate Scipio more in my life
Nun girl and Magic guy look like siblings and it is unsettling me :C
(I’m sorry, I’m terrible with names in real life too. I’ll learn them eventually)

Plus, Frigg is one of the vat people. So she’s the A character in their B team.

How do you pronounce scipio?
