    I am the Bloody Odious Red Glop (B.O.R.G.). Your biological and ethereal distinctiveness will be added to my own. Resistance is futile.

    How many more ways is Byron’s berserker curse going to be a problem for everyone!?!?

      Obviously this is Bandit’s fault for sending Byron’s soul (and its viral attachment) to the afterlife.

        Byron was killed by the cultists prior to being infected. He was a zombie-berserker when he attacked.

          I am quite sure Red is joking.
          Still: Even when infected he didn’t exist in the afterlife. After Bandit killed him (or his possessed body) (again), he went there…

    I can’t help but think this should have come up before. Berserkers died at beechmill, and presumably at battleshire as well.

      Yeah, but I think Byron was infected with an army of viruses. Plus he’s one of the five.

        Also, the berserker curse was made for Byron’s player. We don’t know just how HR’s backstory-making to introduce the Five affected Arkerra, but it’s possible that since Battleshire’s history was essentially a retcon, it didn’t actually impact everything else (Arkerra hadn’t had a big rage-demon blocking the afterlife when the servers turned on, so writing in the destruction of Battleshire before that point couldn’t make it so that there had actually been a big rage-demon there the whole time after all. Basically the only way Arkerra’s timeline could remain intact is if for some reason or another no rage-demon was released then.)

        Another possible explanation is that when HR inserted the Five he wasn’t intending for them to bring sweeping changes and thus minimised the impact of the insertions, while now he IS looking to bring sweeping changes so he’s being as disruptive as he can.

      Until Brother Tom and Brother Homon opened the portal, berserkers were just people with a disease. The cyberian virus created a very different type of berserker.

        Based on what Brother Tom said, the same principle was at work in Beechmill as in Battleshire. They just did it better at Beechmill since they had prior experience to draw on.

    While I admire Gravy’s willingness to attempt unconventional strategies in resolving conflict,
    I doubt the bloody cloud of berserk energy is ticklish.

      Hey, never know until you try. Its only weakness may be a ticklish spot that nobody has ever thought to go for before!

      He should’ve chosen 8mm, not IMAX.

      Or, is that a safeties-off holodeck projection?

    Hopefully Gravedust works better than Norton as an antivirus.

      Wouldn’t he classify as a Daemon in this case?

    The monologue in the first “panel” sounds like it should be read very dramatically in Japanese at the end of an episode of…

    Next time on Magical Geezer Pretty Gravedust: “No soul in sight? The man Byron dies for friendship!”

        I don’t think I could take it if Gravedust grew into a tall & effeminate guy with a spikey hairstyle & beard, wielding a bow that 7x as long as he is tall, looking like it outweighs him. And that wouldn’t even be his Final Form.

    That that mystic sharpens the *outside* of his spirit scythe?

      Maybe it’s closer to war scythe then to a farming scythe? Though to be fair, I don’t know if the outside of war scythes were sharpened either.
