Annotations Every Day - Written by T Campbell & Flo Kahn - Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip

I know what you're thinking: 'How can she put this off for some pizza?' I ask you: 'What could possibly be more important than pizza?'

    Not dying might be more important than pizza.

    Question: Why didn’t Mr. Big Shot at the door go to the closest house, like Shanna did?

      Didn’t Shanna go to the furthest house on purpose to avoid him? Unless I read it wrong, I think that’s what she did.

      He probably went to the *first* house on the list, since that’s probably all he had time to copy down…

      We were just told that the “toons” act independently during the player’s absence so I don’t think he’s necessarily gone. It would be interesting to see if he seems changed in any way if the player is gone though.

        Since creepypasta was mentioned on Wednesday, I’m now envisioning KoA creepypasta revolving around toons who continue to hang around with their guildies’ toons after their players have died.

        Alternatively, if toons do in fact die when their players die, there could be creepypasta where a guild first learns of a member’s death when the toon dies in-game.

    “Christ, deliver me from weirdos,” she thinks as she goes to the door. “That woman is thirty minutes or less from a psychotic break! Someone needs and order of chill pills, and it isn’t me. And get a load of her crusty friend, and his cheesy fake stab-wound! They must be con artists of some kind, with their fingers in the wrong kind of pies.”

    The cat meows at her.

    “You heard me,” she says. “Don’t make me repizza myself. I’m really Ham-and-pineapple-ing it up. Um, pepperoni. Pepperoni. Uh, shoot.”

    The door opens on a moustached silhouette.

    “Sorry I’m late,” he says. “I guess your murder is free.”

    If she dies, it’s going to backfire rather horribly. The others are halfway to believing Shanna already, and unless JJ can clone himself or is no longer working alone, he can’t reach the others before they take action. Like, say, calling the cops to report a murder, or disseminating everything they know onto the internet and letting the Streisand Effect take over.

      I don’t imagine he actually will murder her, if it does turn out to be him at the door. I expect he’s going to push his way at knifepoint once she opens the door, she’s going to say something to the effect of “you can’t murder me, I’m skyping with witnesses”, and then he’s going to close the door, pull her somewhere away from the camera, and then secure her cooperation with brutal and violent tactics, so that when she un-mutes her microphone, everything will seem normal, and he’ll coach her through the rest of the conversation to further his own ends– until someone asks “hey, where’s your pizza?”. Then I imagine it will get interesting.

    Why did she mute her microphone? It’s not like she’s going to be talking loud enough about pizza to override everyone’s conversation.

    I would have muted my speakers, so the pizza guy doesn’t think I’m talking to a bunch of nutters about missing people and think I’m part of the group who engineered their disappearance.

      She muted the mic so her friends wouldn’t hear her being murdered. Or tortured to obtain Chrissie’s address, then murdered. Or so Shanna & Can wouldn’t recognize JJ’s voice and start screaming.

    Hmm… Scipio’s off in ‘NPC limbo, now it looks like his player’s about to get disappeared… is this the end for the Scorpion?

    I would like for her to suffer now.
