I’ve… seen things… you people wouldn’t believe. Ancho chilies on fire on a shoulder of mutton; I watched three-cheese bubble off the crust from Round Table… all those… moments… will be lost, in time, like [SOB] alka seltzer… in… rain. Time… to die.
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.”
Seriously, we just had this happen last update. Only Phil gets to hand out the Gold Stars!
But that raises the question… What can misters Campbell and Waltrip bestow upon favored comments?
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.
I hope she doesn’t actually “get her shit killed” as Frigg might say. I like her, even though we really haven’t gotten much screen time with her… or any of these guys, really. I don’t want any of them to die D:
But I suppose this was probably the only way she’s going to be convinced about Xan and Shanna’s story.
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.
Nope. I’m thinking, whatchya gotta mute for pizza. You’re a gamer. Just walk to the door, get the pizza, pull off some slices onto a plate and rejoin while eating.
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…
One little mistake…
Like muting the computer?
She wanted to get into some deep dish, but it looks like she’s going to be in deep trouble instead.
That thinning-haired thug is going to handtoss her around the room.
“Um … where’s my margherita pizza?”
“No Margarita. How about I make you a Bloody Mary?”
Pet peeve of mine: it’s Pizza margherita, not the other way around.
A pizza margarita sounds terrible. I’ll have three.
I have seen pizzas with salt around the rim!
They were trying to do “pretzel crust” or something. =P
So I have Pizza this all together what your saying is I should toss the cheese and book it?
I’ve… seen things… you people wouldn’t believe. Ancho chilies on fire on a shoulder of mutton; I watched three-cheese bubble off the crust from Round Table… all those… moments… will be lost, in time, like [SOB] alka seltzer… in… rain. Time… to die.
What about a bloody Mary with pizza garnish?
Yeah, that’s your pizza like the doorbell at Jim Gordon’s apartment was Colleen from Barbara’s yoga class. This is going to be very bad.
If our mustache man is wearing a Hawaiian shirt, you win the internet.
That joke is…killing me.
“It’s a common problem with old-school gamers. She thinks she’s a floppy disk.”
I shouldn’t laugh…but I did.
SteelRaven, in the unlikely event Mr. Mustache does show up in a Hawaiian shirt, please give my Internet to Armagrodden.
He’s been seen wearing one previously, so it wouldn’t be that unlikely of a guess.
SHE GONNA DIE
She’d better die.
Dammit lady, didn’t you watch /any/ horror movies?
What fun is it if Campbell can’t at least telegraph the bad things about to happen once in a while?
All she needed to say is, “I’ll be right back.” Bye Bye Felicia…
That pillow in the first panel is driving me insane.
WHY IS IT A PIXEL PILLOW
The pillow has an embroidered hand clearly giving the “finger”. They had to pixel it out.
I’ve been assuming those are Minecraft-picture pillows. And that they don’t have really visible images because of copyright.
This would be a lot harder if she hadn’t ordered pizza tonight.
Celiac- It can save your life.
Chinese food instead… same outcome.
No dice. Our local pizza place delivers delicious, piping hot gluten-free pizza seven days a week. She’d still be screwed.
In a brutal and unforeseen twist, it is actually just a pizza delivery.
That is, she’s still going to be murdered, but it has nothing to do with the plot.
Just a tragic case of death-pizza murder-delivery.
That’s no pizza girl! That’s BARON CALZONE!
*fade to black*
Yes, the new kind of pizza, shaped like a bag, that goes over your head.
Maybe the assassin delivers pizza part time.
She opens the door to get pizza. she gets pizza. she goes back to computer and sits down to eat. AND THROUGH THE WINDOW HE COMES
Say hello to my LITTLE FRIEND!
…Your breadsticks. That’ll be $12.50.
Ehhh … Kaye was never one of my favorite characters. Maybe she deserves –
WAIT A MINUTE! IF SHE DIES, THERE’S NO MORE SCIPIO??!! NOOOOOOOOOO
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.

Or Scipio sans Kaye’s influence.. So even more stoic and lacking in dialogue. NOOO.
A whole pizza for one person? Come on now, have some respect for yourself.
In my experience, pizza places don’t deliver pizza by-the-slice or in halves…
The part you don’t eat goes into the fridge, that’s what lunchtime on Saturday is FOR.
Fridge? What kind of monster *are* you? Pizza stays room-temp for easy room-temp pizza.
That’s unsanitary.
That’s the best part
Not all of us like penicillin on our pizza.
cold pizza for breakfast is the food of the gods.
It’s practically a staple at my house. :-D
“Not too much longer” indeed.
“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.”

All the gold stars.
And now, none.
Which implies this was going to get a gold star anyway… which it probably wasn’t.
Seriously, we just had this happen last update. Only Phil gets to hand out the Gold Stars!
But that raises the question… What can misters Campbell and Waltrip bestow upon favored comments?
TC has bestowed a “+1” on a few people … Hasn’t done so for a while now though.
Except for Phil commentators should just reward people with Internets like they do on every other site.
Anyways, Brigand Brigade, have an internet on me.
You monster!!! How do you sleep at night?
I thought he only loses the gold star if HE asks for it!
I’d kill her and -you- for all those assumed puns. Really. -__-
I found the jokes to be unique, pun in a million!
Sorry alt text, but that wasn’t what I was thinking at all.
It’s like you don’t even know me anymore.
IKR? My only thought was “Shit.”
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.

Then I imagine it will get interesting.
That’s actually kinda what I was thinking would happen. And hoping.
But the microphone’s muted. It could take a while for them to find out.
Welp, she’s fucked.
And was never heard again.
Creepiest gravatar/comment combo EVER.
If that’s pizza, I’ll eat the box.
Well, she’s ded.
I hope she doesn’t actually “get her shit killed” as Frigg might say. I like her, even though we really haven’t gotten much screen time with her… or any of these guys, really. I don’t want any of them to die D:
But I suppose this was probably the only way she’s going to be convinced about Xan and Shanna’s story.
If she does die, then her being convinced will be meaningless at that point.
Maybe she’ll escape while her cat heroically sacrifices itself by attacking the Mustachioed Man.
Oh, she is so dead.
This is not going to be the kind of hot freshness she was expecting.
Hello, I’m here to bring some colour into your life.
Some blacks, some blues, lots of red
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.
Yeah, that seemed odd to me, too. But then, I’m the type of person who probably wouldn’t have thought to mute my speakers, either.
Yes, I thought that was strange too. Maybe she wanted to mute her speakers and clicked on the wrong button?
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.
Can? Really, autocorrect?
I really hope that’s actually the pizza guy…
I really hope the real pizza guy isn’t too badly injured…
If she does get murdered, what will become of her poor kitty?
I don’t know… What happened to Syr’nj’s player’s Kitty? (So many apostrophes!)
It is actually her pizza, but it’s being delivered by JJ.
“30 minutes or you’re dead!”
His tip is her liver!
Nope. I’m thinking, whatchya gotta mute for pizza. You’re a gamer. Just walk to the door, get the pizza, pull off some slices onto a plate and rejoin while eating.
But of course you go get the pizza.
Duna..Duna…DunaDunaDunaDunaDuuuuuuunnnaaa!DUUUUNAAAA!!!!!!
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 hate her.
I hated her from the moment she showed up typing in shitty txt-spk… but this just makes everything all the worse.
I would like for her to suffer now.
