I am pretty sure, and all those feminine hygeine commercials gonna back me up on this, that BLUE is PRECISELY the color on the body fluids in question.
Also ecru colored dunce caps for not-getting-that-the-joke’s-been-hijacked of olde…
For some reason it just hit me that Scipio’s got a serious Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name vibe going on… I think it took so long ’cause Scip’s built like a brick sh*thouse, and Clint was a (totally hawt) scrawny thang in, for example, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Now, this is actually very interesting! And brings up a question I had in the back of my mind over the last chapter.
We know now that Scipio’s and E-merl’s players know each other, IRL, and they know Rachel’s player IRL. Rachel was present at the battle of the Beast, as we all know, and she died there. And yet, there’s no apparent OOC knowledge. Lia has absolutely no knowledge of how her character was deleted, nor even, as far as we can tell, how Rachel died or what she was doing prior to her death. Just logged on one day to find her character gone.
I’m supporting this based only on her apparently not telling her comrades (or Hurricane Support) anything about it, since you’d think running into some neon motherfucker from “Cyberia,” and battling a digital eldritch horror, would raise some major red flags. Especially among Lia, who has real-world knowledge of cyberpunk and real-world knowledge of Hurricane’s “Escape From Cyberia.” Those two would definitely be the sort of thing you’d talk about when trying to investigate why your character suddenly got deleted… if you had witnessed it. While the group members could just be enforcing in-character knowledge by not telling each other of their exploits except when they meet in-character, given the circumstances they’d be forgiven for breaking character amongst themselves.
To get to the point, I wonder how much control The Four (not to be confused with The Five, Minus Payet Best) really have over their characters, and I wonder what Scipio, E-Merl, Rachel, and Bandit might be getting up to when their players are not logged on. It could have been assumed that the characters simply “slept” or were otherwise indisposed when their players had logged off for the evening, but it seems they’re getting on with their adventures with or without their players. In Rachel’s case it ended in tragedy.
It occurs to me that brown robes are very useful for the same reason the red shirt was to the brave pirate captain of old.
…and the blue dress to the shes of old…
…or the white satin to the knights of old
I don’t think you caught the joke. At least I don’t think women have any sort of blue colored bodily fluids.

I concur. Blue is standard bodily fluid for women.
Oh, I noticed THAT, I just didn’t find it funny and decided to ignore it.
I believe the approved outfit is red shirt and brown trousers.

Would he have got away if he had been wearing a beige robe?
…I’d have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you damn kids.
*MEDDLING KIDS. AND WATCH YO MOUTH.
Foiled again by tasty frozen deserts!
desserts. dammit.
Licking Antarctica again, are we? for shame!
No, no one can pull off a beige robe. its utterly unflattering, dahling
Just for that my new attire shall consist entirely of beige robes. Excuse me while I go buy a sewing machine.
I dunno, get enough drinks in ’em, and they’ll be wanting to pull off their beige robe. If yaknowwadImean, wink wink.
For a moment I thought that was Frigg. After the first panel I thought: ‘Come on Scipio, this has gone on for long enough’.
You’re just biggoted against bowled haircut, you are !
I also thought it was Frigg. Until “waaait a minute, since when does Frigg wear robes?”
Last panel: “I need a hundred black coffins for a hundred bad men…”
They set up us the lamp.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
How are you gentlemen.
I love lamp.
So once again, we open the Pandora’s Box of the Logic Puzzle…part 2….with a Vengeance…this time it’s personal…
IN 3D!!
… aaand there goes Scipio blowing his text quota for this calendar year. Now we know who else dies in this chapter.
He is a bit talky, today.
The Cigar is not pleased.
For some reason it just hit me that Scipio’s got a serious Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name vibe going on… I think it took so long ’cause Scip’s built like a brick sh*thouse, and Clint was a (totally hawt) scrawny thang in, for example, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Hmmm… Talkative Scipio. Must be damn important!
Is it just me, or does every cultist EXCEPT brother Tom tend to talk like they’re an internet lol-troll?
It would sure explain a lot.
Also, has eMerl ben hauling that tome around the whole time and I just noticed, or is it new?
No. Up until recently it’s been under Harry Potter’s bed.
Or maybe the cultists decided to disappear the guy that’s been outing them.
I’m of this theory.

I think more that like all Hardcore RPG players… they don’t sleep.
The link on Grrl Power to Guilded Age has Best and glowy eyed robots. Did I miss something?
