Byron’s inner child seems to have a limited vocabulary.
Also, he’d make a terrible parent. Denying a child when they’re like that only tends to make them throw tantrums.
hey, his vocabulary wasnt as bad as one of my old D&D barbarians. he only knew 2 letters of the common language.
“O” and “K”.
Hey, at least he can convey two ideas: confirmation and unconsciousness :P
True :)
That ain’t good.
Does the “Kill. Kill.” bit mean we’re finally going to see the berserker do some berserking?
Correction, that is AWESOME.
A cultist? You sure?
Can’t tell for sure. He didn’t say “Fo’ realz”.
Safe bet, chickadee.
What, never? No, never. What never? Hardly ever!
Kill.
Kill?
Alright, maybe “slightly maim” would be a better course of action.
Slightly maim. Slightly maim!
Doesn’t quite have the same ring. Perhaps “redrum?”
Nah…that’s been done before…hmmmm
Llik?
I think it wants him to kill or something.
It’s kind of subtle.
Well, NOW Byron’s and Syr’nj’s first date story is going to get a LOT more exciting for their kids, probably when they were just about to nod off. :)
And now I’m picturing this ending along the lines of that running gag from Sexy Losers:
“And that’s the story of how you were born!”
“NOOOOO!”
A cultist!
Occultist?
The Irish call them O’Cultists.
Of course, if he were just petending, he’d be a Fauxcultist.
The “Hard to say what’s truly ‘true’” part is more of an evidence of a Focaultist.
Add some fishnets and a LOT of mascara and he could be a Hocultist?
Nah, he’s wanting to sell kosher dills to them really – he is a Pickle-tist.
he could be a florist. making him a horticultist.
This rhyme is getting a little sour, we need mo’ cultist.
He’s a dietician. A LoCal tist.
Hrm, if you squint your eyes really hard, he likes kinda like Tom Cruise. So, a Scientulist.
But Scientulists are cultists, so he’s multi-cult-ural? A bicultist?
That distinction may be the difficultest.
OH SHIIII…..
That dude dons a hood faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. You just KNOW he has to be evil.
Haha yeah, I noticed it too! It’s probably part of the cultist education.
only Palpatine is faster!
Yo, Byron, something’s a little wrong with your eyes, there. It’s not too bad, I mean, I’m not an optometrist, but I’m pretty sure the pupils aren’t supposed to be… Well, gone.
Obviously, he has very serious cataracts caused by exposure to mystical voices.
It’s not nice to make fun of people, Locke, even if you are a seventeenth century philosopher responsible for greatly influencing the minds of the enlightenment.
Hey, us philosophers don’t “make fun of people”. We criticize them so that they may improve upon themselves. Now to start a political discussion on this forum so I can learn from and manipulate the political views of the common people while clashing with those of my sister.
Bonus points for those that pick up the obvious shout out.
Your sister, Demosthenes?
Ah well, so much for Byron’s pupils. And he had such nice ones…
isn’t he supposed to be getting an entire army of pupils?
He’s a caultist!? A this whole time I thought the fountain teller was a really ugly bald lady :P
I love the cultist. He speaks in italics!
Also if I was Byron I probably would’ve punched him before I shouted “GOSH HE IS A CULTIST SYRNJ GET OUT OF HERE”
hahaha yeah, but Byron needs to create the proper context for his beserking to commence
Byron’s about to eat some dead burnt bodies and get veins in his teeth.
And then they pinned a medal on him and said “that’s our boy”
Huh, six votes kill, and three votes nay.
THE KILLS HAVE IT!
Wow, cant belive this is my first Comment on this awesome piece of comic but i realy have to say Byron is the most rational berserker ever. I mean, serious but thats what i love these guy for. Just like Gravedust, Frigg, Syr´nj and Bandit.
okay, so you’re a cultist. sitting in front of a berklezerker. one who hates cultists. and you think it’s a good idea to fill him with killing rage. good luck with that, fellah.
There’s always been a problem with the cultist career path, in my opinion. Far too easy to end up in a suboptimal track leading to lower middle management, perimeter defense, and/or being drive-by spitted by the Crystal Fire Sword of the Chosen One.
Personally, the worst part of career cultism is all those mandatory teambuilding exercises.
Depends on what exactly you’re building the team out of.
Three cheers for team Bone-golem!
This comment could only have been more perfect if your avatar was Richard from LfG.
Perhaps the cult leader considered that detail “forbidden knowledge” only accessible to higher level cultists.
Uhm. Things are about to get messy.
Killkillkillkillkillkillkill!
Don’t suppose the cultist’s name is Bill, is it?
Can’t believe I’m saying this but…Stay good Byron!
poing
Why Bill?
Because?
/shrug
Cuz “Kill Horace” doesn’t carry the same poetic oomph?
referencing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/
Ah, didn’t think of it.
Now that I notice, “a cultist” has a pretty catchy rhythm when repeated several times. Reminds me of “Moses” out of “Singing in the Rain”.
Diplomists, they noticed, the psychic’s, a cultist!
And oh sh*t’s, he’s so pissed, now they’d better flee.
Ohhhh lordy! This makes me wonder if his berserking will rival what I read in The First Law.
A berserker must not harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm? That doesn’t seem likely or applicable here at all.
Bad sound. BAD SOUND.
I read this and started thinking of Pumpkin Scissors. It has a charcter who is (more or less) a berserker trained as a anti-tank infantry unit.
In short: ‘Toten Sie’
YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS.
Despite everything somehow I don’t think Byron’s “berserking”. Whatever that cultist did was intended to aid him, not Byron and Syr.
Hmm, if I may? I wonder if it is possible the cultist is not aware Byron is in fact a berserker. Sort of like how one doesn’t know if that crystal clear liquid in your golden cup is water or hydrochloric acid if you aren’t savvy to that sort of thing.
Probably would have been good time to play it cool and excuse yourselves and come back with the guards, but then, they wouldn’t be our heroes if they weren’t -almost- getting it right.
No means no, A Cultist! >:-(
