    Well, that answers my “Where are the cosplayers?” question from last week.

      I thought they might have meant furries, but I suppose Cosplayers in general doesn’t leave anyone out. o.o

        It’s possible that guy’s meant to be the universe’s equivalent of a furry specifically, but the term Brother Ulak uses to describe him, “masquerade hobbyist,” sounds like a synonym for the more general term “cosplayer.”

        Well, I suppose trolls, harpies, orcs, hobgoblins, and goblins aren’t enough to satisfy everyone’s fantasies.

        Well, I guess you could say they are all cosplaying, and that guy is the only one we’ve seen who chose “eldritch horror” instead of “cultist.”

      Harming cats is THE unforgivable sin.

      The human hands are obviously real, but I cannot discern any real legs.

        Pfeh, and you call yourself a heathen? That’s a real goat leg, on the bottom there. And a real bawkbagok leg at the top, and a real Avian leg in the front (don’t ask who it belonged to). The mark of a skilled masquerade hobbyist is in the quality of the preservation spells they put on the remnants of their sacrifices. If you can’t walk in their shoes, wear their flesh, and try to live their life for at least two days before anyone notices, well…

        He’s got that cartoon-running thing going, one leg in front and one leg in back, hovering parallel to the ground. Look for brown.

    Uh…well, unless it’s about cosplaying, I don’t know what fandom that’s supposed to be about. Something about silly fanboys? No? Sorry, grasping at subtlety is not my strong point. And even though this is about a cultist con, I still can’t help liking the two we’re following, simply because minus the stabbing, the blood, the cultists, and the weirder than usual food (I’d say the creepy-weird art, but…some cons have that, I hear), the conversation between the two is pretty spot-on. It makes me laugh, all right? =P

    And the tentacles-on-a-stick still seem to be putting up a fight. Ick.

    @Talon88.1: I missed them at first (and his head, too!), but he’s wearing a brown robe and you can see his feet, though they look more like shadows. I’m amazed he can even run, since that stuff is probably all real fur, hooves, scales, and tentacles. Hardcore.

    If these are like normal con nerds, I wonder how many are virgins.
    OOPS. I forgot. Most of the virgins have been sacrificed.

    The best thing about all those limbs, you can do the most horrifyingly amazing cartwheels if you trip and fall forward.

      Tentacles and cosplay, combined. The greatest of all things.

      Prefer your rubbery tentacles filleted and sauteed? I’m sure there’s a booth for that.

    I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying the idea of a evil cult convention. :)

    It just occurred to me that these aren’t PCs we’ve been watching? Or are they and Arkerra doesn’t inhibit cross-faction speech and has some mechanism built in for cultist-type characters from each faction?
