Chapter 19 – Cover
Hey ho, Guildies! We’re kind of rocking back and forth here as we deal with some server-side issues. Our admin and support are working their asses off, though, and we’re grateful for it.
Since it’s the start of a new chapter, we’ve got new avatars and wallpapers, and of course the comment avatars have once again been re-randomized!
GET. WHO DID YOU.
Gah! Emo trees!
The saplings, Byron! The saplings!
They’re such a pain when they’re that age. Sitting alone in their little groves, writing bad poetry about vines and listening to MCR.
They need the sad Charlie Brown Christmas music.
Hey this caption’s cheating!
Those trees are for the dead Wood Elves, right? Pining after the dead.
Alt text: “The one where with great responsibility.”
?????
Yeah, I was wondering about that too.
Look, that’s my “wondering” face!
Are T and Jason getting their comics mixed up again?
Nope, it is my mistake. It’s been some kind of month.
Maybe there’ll be a humanoid with eight legs or something…
Aaw, figs
Wouldn’t be my first choice. Unless everything’s just right, they’ll drop their leaves if you so much as say “boo” at them.
What better trees for woodelves? Something that takes loving care to survive is perfect for them…
I envision that each one is planted on top of the grave of a dead elf, so that in death the elves can sustain the growth of their new forest.
Well, we’ve already seen chapters with great power. ‘Bout time the responsibility came up.
Yeah, you think this is hopeful and all, but these are actually holocaust trees, vicious undead man-eating plants that germinate only where terrible massacres have occurred. Beware, and pray that you’re epic level.
Yay more comic! Keep up the great work!
“… And everyone knows we plant willows for death, not oaks.”
I’m glad someone else remembered that line as well.
Random Avatar away!
They should probably run now if the Giant-Green-Tentacle-Monster-From-Beneath-the-Forest is beginning to probe the surface world.
Perhaps the heat of the blaze has awakened it?
AVATAR TEST!
Ooh do me do me!
“GET. WHO DID YOU.” — now with re-randomized word order!
Trees planted by hand always remind me of the small revelations and humility revealed in a hangover. Lessons learned in pain, and sewn in humbleness. Unfortunately, the only thing more transient than both the state and location of a subatomic particle is human humility. Or in the case of this world, humanoid.
Shouldn’t they have mulched the bodies? It would help the younglings grow stronger….
Do you see any bodies? Do you see mounds under the trees?
I’m excited about our future prospects!
Yay! My new gravatar! I am very excited.
You are too excited, I shall keep watch of you to make sure it doesn’t go out of hand.
I can certainly see your excitement in your avatar there.
Ohgodthisisperfect…
Let’s try to find our future!
Is their cemetery groundskeeper the Lorax?
Let’s see what I’ve got!
This would make quite the beautiful cemetery.
Deforestation and Reforestation. Two sides of the same coin… or something.
What about Re-Deforestation and De-Reforestation?
Sir, you have just blown my mind. And I like it.
It’s time to pay the troll toll
Troll toll
Boy’s hole
Tiny boy, little boy, baby boy, I need you
Willows? Some sort of lesson about how the Wood Elves need to unlimber and bend?
You need Rita Repulsa in there to make them grow faster!
No, don’t do that! Then the enemy will build robots that come and cut…them…
Wait, are our scenes out of order? And for that matter, does Penk the Drummer count as a teenaged dude with attitude?
Good to see a new chapter starting :)
Let’s see…
Looks like I got the Best avatar.
Let’s see if my avatar’s an angry person this time around.
Three in a row! Phil, are you rigging the system?
Sorry, just a side affect of me hacking into the Matrix.
In about 30s we’re going to get the first wave of zombies.
At least with robots you’ve got 150 seconds.
aaaaand RAFLE!
So, does this mean that man-looking sr is here to stay, too?
I… I posted a sonnet here. Now it’s gone. I didn’t save it (stupid me, I know) and now it’s not here. Did I do something wrong? Was it eaten by your spam filter? Was it too long? I saw it come up yesterday after I hit “Post Comment”…. Now I really wish that page had been cached!
Oh well. I guess it turned out to be ephemeral art. I’ll write another some time. If anyone saw it let me know what you thought :)
Light and laughter,
SongCoyote
The extremely shocked eyes were a perfect addition to my lament about the lost sonnet! :D
no whammies no whammies
“I am… Groot.” ;_;
