        Since he seems to have lost his appetite, make that order “to go.” Wrap up the rabbit in duck tape & send him on his way.

        You sure she wasn’t just using them because they’re tranquilizers? She certainly didn’t seem to think that Bandit was berserking at the time.

      Poor Bandit. She’s the Guild’s Rodney Dangerfield – no respect. Scipio hewed down his share of berserkers I’m sure, and he gets conjugal visits while Bandit gets convict quarters.

        Difference is Scipio didn’t put down the berserker that was Syrn’j’s mate…

        Getting more and more mad at Syrn’j, the way things unfold. I understand she’s not happy with Byron being dead, but he’s not the only victim there and she should know more than anybody else that Bandit had little choice but to put him down. And that she had reasons not to be relaxed with Byron berserkering around.

          Bandit wasnt doing anything to a berserker. She was stabbing an unconcious Byron. She defeated/killed him . I’m fairly sure Scipio didnt defile anyone’s body/corpse afterwards.

            Plus telling Syrn’j that she was glad she killed Byron probably didn’t help Bandit’s cause any.

              it’s still not appropriate to base judgments on emotion. Syr’nj didn’t experience the emotional toll that Bandit and the rest did.

                Forgive me, but didn’t Syrn’j witness Byron kill her entire team, have to put him down and then face down a firing squad of trolls? I am aware it’s not quite the same thing as 28 Byrons Later, but I think she is far from emotional pristine.

                  I think Bandit’s been having trouble telling right from wrong, ever since Byron cut her down. When he swung his axes down at her, the first things to be felled were her shoulder angel an shoulder demon.

    Rabbit? Really? Wonder how the creator dudes figured that people taste like rabbit, I heard it was pork or something. To be fair though, he was eating a dude’s face, I don’t know how good that could have been, I mean. This is medieval times, I don’t know how well people do hygiene in this setting.

      I believe I made a comment regarding this last Chapter. To wit…

      Even if he doesn’t remember, that might only add to the horror.

      A friend held in your hands, face chewed half off. The slick feel of blood caking your face and the tang of iron on your tongue. Then the horrible realization of what it must mean reducing you to retching as you feel the churning of your stomach from a meal you can not recall eating and the gory gobbets of flesh in your mouth.

      And that, my friends, is the very beginning of the nightmare.

      You wouldn’t be able to tell either way, since I get the impression that the actual characters themselves actually have wills of their own and get up to their own doings when their players aren’t controlling them. The player might control a few explict actions or their personality, but they seem to do a lot of things “off the camera” as it were.

        Ya it does seem that way. To the player it may just be a 10 minute ‘jail time’. They go off do something else.
        Per the game world other things happen based how the character was build and developed.

        I’ve done Role Playing where a character is in a hospital or jail setting. Either there is huge story plot going on at this time or at most you have an hour of in game time before the player gets bored and recalls somewhere else.

          I’m think what we’re seeing are shadows of characters created in a video game. I see hints of this back when Syrn’j is trying to find out what happened to Bandit when the rest of them died.

        H.R. mentioned earlier that anyone who comes in contact with the tubers takes on their characteristics; Anyone who plays with the people in the tubes takes on characteristics above and beyond what the original game mechanics included.

        On a meta sense, the Adventurer’s guild is probably that ONE FUCKING GUILD on the RP server that everyone hates because their plots bleed into everyone else’s RP.

      Rachel is a perfect example actually.
      She charged the corrupter beast and was wiped from existence.
      To Lia, her player, this just looks like her character was mysteriously deleted and she has no knowledge of Rachel fighting the corrupter beast.

        Basically, during the time they fought the beastie, Rachel was actually an NPC. The player wasn’t even on the computer at the time & has no idea what happened in-game. It’s almost like you logging into your game & finding out that your account was hacked.

        My research (which involves sitting here and making it up since, yanno, gnomes) is that there’s -supposed- to be a hint of chocolate (but definitely not like a chocolate cake or something)… and there’s definitely supposed to be sort of a buttermilk aspect which gives it a kind of a tangy depth.

        OTOH, by “definition” Rabbit would taste like Rabbit. It seems kind of rude that someone would suggest he didn’t taste like he was ‘supposed’ to taste like!
