I wonder how badly these jeans must smell after being worn for so long under WAV’s suit.
Still, thank you for saving us from seeing his junk. That’d be horrible.
Not for Frigg it wouldn’t have been!
You’re not taking into account shrinkage. Really bad time to remember who he was. That suit of his kept him insulated.
Don’t worry, remember what he said: He’s ON FIRE. He’ll be warm. And if that’s not enough, maybe some hot Rhumba rhythms?
The jeans must smell just the Best, obviously.
Certainly got what he Payed for, and then some.

Ok, now that the cybersuit that WAS keeping him warm in this weather is shredded, how about we have a betting pool to see how long until he dies from hypothermia? The group doesn’t really seem to be carrying extra winter clothing for him.
Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting, exactly.
New Wave Music.
I’ve been trying to decide of the Flash Gordon theme or Princes of the Universe is the better music for that last panel. I am leaning toward the latter.
… WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED!?!?
Wav just became Best again.
1. Protagonists all invading a frozen hellscape, with poor results (so far).
2. WAV hulks out, but turns LESS green because of it.
There’s an “In Soviet Russia…” inversion joke in here somewhere, but I can’t quite find the right phrasing.
Wrong space for comment. Are unregistered gravitars deletable?
In Soviet Russia, Wav is Best?
In Soviet Russia, Hulk becomes Puny Elf?
this one.
“Here, I am janitor. In Soviet Russia, I am physicist.”
No, that’s not it…
“In America, you turn into Hulk; in Soviet Russia, Hulk turns into YOU!”
Rollback to previous version. The one that was pretty shitty too. :/
I think Wav just became the guy in the tube….not necessarily full-on Best.
It’s hard to be sure because the art has improved a lot since Best was around. But I think you might be right.
Still has pointy elf ears but I will give you Best/Wave may now be self aware.
I wonder if he’ll remember the Sepia world too?
I kinda of wonder too. There were hints before Best was bested that he might have known on some level. And now he comes back wearing what appears to be jeans. Not exactly typical fantasy fashion.
Then again, he still has elf ears. So maybe not.
That would be a very interesting development. Might be able to put the group on even footing with HR in that case.
And the prodigal asshole returns.
Too bad there is no upvote option.
its a sad day for everyone.
Hopefully he doesn’t stay.
It’s happy for me assuming Payet is as fun as he used to be…which he probably isn’t.
Vegeta? But Best is back.
This had better be his final form.
RIP WAV :(
I see what you did there.
Oh hey, it’s a square tooth standing WAV.
Nice.
Uh…what did i do?
Ya’ know…Removing the copyright encoding from downloaded music files is illegal, right?
;)
Oh dear lord, it’s Iggy Pop! D:
I’m a wee bit concerned over how easily he shredded his WAV outfit. I hope they packed a spare cloak!
Holy crap, what was the WAV armor made of? Paper mache?
Bard may wield axes, but their armor is just cloth.
And have you ever tried to rip a shirt in half?
Hmmm. Is that actually Best, himself, under there? He looks a bit different (although he does have the ears).
I suspect it might actually be tube guy in there but I dunno.
Pointy ears, so that’s a no.
I noticed the ears but the sepia world consciousness could still be there.
He could’ve had surgery to get pointy ears back when he was in sepia world.
Maybe his stage persona was MC Elrond?
I’m MC Elrond and I’m here to say
Tra la la fol de rol de day
First he’s on fire, next he’s going to get hypothermia.
Could be the final stage of hypothermia, where you feel so hot you rip your clothes off.
I still remember the terrible winter of ’02
Poor, Poor Nelly

That dejavu brought out the best in him.
1. Protagonists all invading a frozen hellscape, with poor results (so far).
2. WAV hulks out, but turns LESS green because of it.
There’s an “In Soviet Russia…” inversion joke in here somewhere, but I can’t quite find the right phrasing.
In Gastonia, you bring out your best for the adventuring party.
In Soviet Russia, adventuring partying brings out the Best in you.
We did not need this.
This was the Best reveal ever!
The anticipation really Payeted off.
The Best of them all have returned! Sweet. It is my opinion that Payet Best was the most skilled fighter of the five, shown in how easily he trashed the rage-guy.
You can dress him up all you like, but a shit elf is still a shit elf on the inside.
Welcome back Payet (if it’s really you).
https://youtu.be/xJ_WXoeRXJg
Oh crap.
Let’s just hope he retains some of WAV’s personality.
And by “some” I mean “most”.
Well, they say, “the clothes make the man.”
But the Best of the man is mostly what he’s got in his genes(jeans), as Frigg would confirm…
Time for some WAV fanboy tears!
Can you measure a life by the WAVs that it makes?
Can you measure a life by its Best intentions?
Poor E-merl. Byron comes back, Best comes back, but not Rachel :(
Given the events at current, I’m not sure this ill wave is for the best.
This may sound silly, but my brain is locking up in contemplating the appropriate page tags, i.e. issues of identity. Is WAV no more, and only Best remains? Was WAV truly Best this whole time, but his true personality and memories were repressed (by his suit? for his own good while the suit regenerated a mortally wounded Best within?)? Are WAV and Best both legitimate entities who just happen to be the same single entity, A = B? Are they separate entities, and if so, what is/are he/they during the seeming transition period when the memories start flooding back?
The same question will wind up being applied to all of the Five- Once the Sepia World arc comes around to its’ inevitable climax, and all is revealed about the tubes, we will have to take into consideration the personas and memories of the players themselves.
The Five, and all the other Player Characters, all believe themselves to be completely genuine- and it’s been heavily suggested that they really /are/, despite being game constructs influenced by the players in Sepia. When untended, they continue completely of their own volition, which hurricane explains as ‘unique coding’ on their part- the question applies: How true is that claim? How real /is/ Arkerra in relation to Sepia World, or even Cyberia for that matter?
Will the characters being controlled by players realize that their actions and choices were all influenced- that they were created in a user interface and existed retroactively? how does that factor in- were all the characters already in existence before being created by Sepia World players? Is Arkerra predicting and accounting for those events, Skaia-style?
Whatever happens to the Five in particular is going to have the deepest implications; suddenly both parties are going to awaken to the fact that they aren’t what they believed they were. Another option, equally curious to me- perhaps the tube people will be rescued, and whether or not they realize how much time they’ve spent in the game, whether or not they retain those memories and experiences, the Five in Arkerra will continue on, unaware. This… doesn’t seem like the most probable course, though.
I’m so intrigued.
You said pretty much what I wanted to say yesterday, but was too tired to. So thank you for not being too tired. ^_^
Byron has brought out the Best in WAV.
And….reboot! Or is that ReBest?
Nice reference. +1
UhhhaAAAAhhhhaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! AHHHH!!
UhhhaAAAAhhhhaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! AHHHH!!
We did come from the land of the ice and snow. …
super appropriate best avatar;)
He’s really going to regret doing that.
Yes but now it looks like they have a dead dire moose on their hands and maybe a doggo or three? They could use the pelt if they could magic some way to cure it in a hurry before Best freezes to death. That might be a bit too convoluted though; I’m betting their destination is going to loom into view just in time to save them from freezing.
Uninstalling updates… please wait…
Is this really the best time for Best time?
Have we forgotten? It’s always the right time for the Best Time ^^tm
Frigg would approve! After the doggos are down for good.

Oh geeze, someone call support, WAV’s character model is glitching and using an older template. Someone must have restored an old file by mistake.
Interesting… Those seem very clearly to be jeans. Did Best wear jeans? They seem more sepia-worldish. Is this really the shit elf or a merge of him and Wav and the player who was both?
I’m afraid it’s going to somehow end up with Best knowing or remembering sepia-world and trying to get the message across to his group, and even though they won’t believe him, in the end, he’ll be right, and I’ll hate it, haha. Best is definitely not my favorite.
Also, I’m wildly speculating. Probably none of that will happen.
Possibly. After I posted this, I just remembered that Best tends to dress in things that look more like they belong in the 80s IRL rather than a magic Renfesty fantasy world. He’s kind of like a cheesy wannabe Billy Idol clone. Of course that’s what he’s Best at. (sorry. couldn’t resist.)
And thus did Punk come to Arkerra….. or maybe just Nu-Metal Rap Rock.
Guess whooooooooooooooo
Everybody, (Yeah)
Rip your clothes off (Yeah)
Everybody, (Yeah)
Rip your clothes off right!
Best is back, alright!
…
Hot-blooded, check it and see…
I got a fever of a hundred-and-three…
i miss WAV allready
Guess you could say he was the BEST
RIP WAV.
That comment aside, I’m suddenly stricken with the chilling *badumts* notion that Best here may have just become a Winter Elf- at least in the scope of knowledge, if not form.
Oh dang just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for WAV.
It was for the Best.
That’s funny, I’ve never seen a butterfly turn back into a caterpillar before.
Best coming out ever.
So to speak.
His Hair changed from black to blonde!
He turned Super Saiyajin!… Or just super sh*t elf?
Best: I’M BACK, BABY!
Who’s that dude? Best to give us some hint.
Weird- so it was Iggy Pop this whole time?
Not the Best place for him to change back to Best
Payet Best is back bitches!!!! Now LET’S ROCK!!!
Looks like WAV figured out how to bring out the Best in himself.
Well fuck. I was hoping he would at least stay as Wav.
He’s gonna go from Fire to ice pops in a minute.
Also I just realised he no longer has his awesome thermally resistant suit. Bugger.
THE WORST. RESURRECTION. IMAGINABLE.
