Happy April 1st anons
What a great way to start the morning with the biggest joke of them all, 2 deaths and a depressed preggers girl
>>81334686
Where have they been during the whole situation?
>>81334686
kirbee is pregnant?
>>81334686
Aaron really really REALLY wants us to hate Holly
>>81334773
>>81334849
How. Wally just said that the Buddibombs were automatically activated, and that Holly responded to the situation just like any smart person would.
>>81334849
As much as he does.
>>81334898
>spend the better part of 5 years with a character
>suddenly pull this off
something's up.
Remember, Aaron has pulled pic related stuff before
>>81334686
>depressed preggers girl
We don't know what she thought of the whole situation yet.
For all we know she could be happy the bombs saved her from the snake, proving to Lyn she was right to want them.
>>81334890
looks more like he's trying to rationalize the situation given the wiggly speech box arrow... at the end he agreed.
Change of setting on Monday?
getting a call from a strange voice claiming to be a friend is a legitimate reason to bring something to defend yourself. That's how the T-1000 tried to kill John Connor in T2
>>81335154
Place your bets.
Is Holly gonna do bad things or bad things gonna do Holly?
>>81335380
both
>>81334686
>Fire engine crawlers.
Even in the heart of darkness, there is neat.
>>81334773
She probably has an egg forming, sure.
She hasn't bonked Wally so it would have been someone from Unity if the egg is fertilised.
>>81334686
> and that's terrible
Wally giving us his insight.
>>81335018
Not really, what he is doing is that that whole period sucked.
>>81335018
I don't think it's him agreeing that what Holly individually did was terrible, it's him realizing it's what anyone would have done.
And a world in which people respond to a call for help by coming armed with powerful explosives is a pretty awful place. Everyone is terrible; including (just not specifically) Holly.
>>81335380
Holly makes bad decisions, but I don't think Holly is a bad person.
Cooper seems to think so too.
>>81335570
>>81334686
>>81335515
Why does this all feel hypocritical coming from Wally?
>>81335526
>>81335558
Exactly. This is the guy who spent the war engineering weapons for what he initially thought was going towards a greater good.
>>81335587
because it is
In retrospect, Chic was lucky that Holly didn't just run and leave him to Jim.
Unless she realized she needed him to help her escape, like Kirbee.
>>81335526
>>81335558
that does make more sense.
>>81335515
>>81335587
>>81335603
Wally is basically confirming that everyone from that time had the same paranoia, and that he too could rationalize it.
Of course, it led to WWIII
>>81335587
>>81335694
>Endtown names
>>81335558
>And a world in which people respond to a call for help
Don't every American bring a gun when they receive strange call that ask them to come for help?
>>81335812
kek
Tradition
>>81334773
And Wally is the baby's daddy.
>>81334686
>holly confesses to lyn
>lyn snaps
>"I TOLD YOU THOSE THINGS WERE DANGEROUS!, THIS IS YOUR FAULT"
>beats the crap out of holly
>holly miscarriages
>>81335018
Except what he said was literally true and we just saw it happen. Quit being retarded.
>>81335690
naw
mouse holly ain't like that
>>81335587
Or the dittos (or whatever is behind all this) do. Especially when they're cherry picking her worst moments. Assuming she had any good ones.
>>81335587 >>81335626
Like I believe >>81335718 is implying, I think Wally is talking about more than just holly but rather about himself/society as a whole during the days before the end.
He's saying "it's terrible that carrying around a box full of automated bombs seemed entirely reasonable"
>>81336159
For Wally.
She stopped caring about Chic pretty quickly, to the point of outright threatening him later.
>>81336040
>Except what he said was literally true and we just saw it happen
i haven't denied anything, besides, her it being her fault or not, does not change the fact that what just happened is awful and wrong, and that's what wally seems to be trying to sugar coat.
>>81335841
It's almost like he's making a point. Which isn't necessarily an indictment of gun owners specifically. Perhaps everything is fucked up, from the gun owners to the stories they hear that makes them think that a routine check-in requires a weapon drawn and loaded.
>>81336239
Probably because she sees him and is reminded of her unborn, probably dead child.
>>81335228
>>81335841
Coming armed with enough ordinance to level a house is kinda overkill.
Unless they have a really weird version of the second amendment which only gives them the right to carry high explosives.
>>81336239
She bites off Jims fingers to save Chick from being strangled to death. Pretty sure that counts
>>81336344
she got a lust for blood after tasting it...
>>81336319
not if it's the T-1000. And in the Endtown universe, you have stuff like pic related
>>81336239
That's holly's apron wrapped around kirbee's stump
>>81336344
See >>81335690. My point is she didn't stick her neck out for him once he'd gotten her out. It was Kirbee who had to go fish him out of the mutts.
>>81336475
can't wait for kirbee to grow her tail so holly can get her sanity apron back.
>>81336548
After being shoved in Jim's mouth, splashed with his blood, then wrapped around Kirbee's butt, I'm not sure she wants it back.
>>81336534
at that point, holly was already out of her mind
>>81336610
>After being shoved in Jim's mouth
>splashed with his blood
>wrapped around Kirbee's butt
ill take it.
Holly stole 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens.
>>81336475
>Hey, finally I can get my apron back!
>"Good idea Holly, we can use it as a bandage"
>Dammit
>>81335585
>Holly used to be what Kirbee is now
>now the world has broken her
>Kirbee could just as easily have been shattered if it were not for the fact that she was so quick to get over her colony dying
it hurts
>>81336777
>Kirbee could just as easily have been shattered if it were not for the fact that she was so quick to get over her colony dying
well, we are not sure if she's completely over it, she has been really good at concealing and keeping emotions in check, could have something to do with being cold blooded, who knows.
>>81336777
When you consider what we know of Kirbee's backstory though she's possibly more well adjusted because she's essentially been playing on easy mode until now, compared to the shit holly had to deal with:
Poverty, pregnancy, accepting shady deals, conflict with spouse, blowing up your friend and her husband in a half accident when she turned into a snake.
From what we now so far kirbee got through the apocalypse by smoking pot, watching the x-files and being a lizard in a pro-lizard colony.
She could still be shattered like a dropped glass is what I'm saying.
>>81336868
Chic has been pretty quiet about everything too. Getting attacked by Jim, seeing burning corpses raining from the ceiling, losing his home and mother, etc.
>>81335228
Carrying a gun would be reasonable, carrying a bag full of kamikaze robot bombs that can destroy an entire house is not.
Nothing about buddibombs are reasonable, not in terms of sanity and not in terms of being a viable weapon to protect yourself with.
>>81336933
That colony wasn't a very nice place to live... even as a lizard.
In fact we are not sure she wasn't there before it turned into a pro lizard colony.
>>81336949
the paranoia stemmed from a fear of things like pic related. Not sure a gun is gonna cover it
>>81336934
he doens't know if his mom is dead yet... she is though.
>>81334686
FUCKING CONFIRMED
SHE KILLED THEM
HOLLY WORST FUCKING GIRL
NO DEFENSE
>>81337028
Thats why we invented elephant guns.
>>81336981
True enough, but I'm not sure there is a nice place to live with the current state of the world.
>>81337120
Epsilon two sounds like a nice place, they also have tamales.
>>81337120
Topsider colony should be good... as long as you stay clear of pins, pens and edged surfaces.
>>81335718
This. I mean, he may well agree that Holly was stupid, but he understands the mentality of the time and that it was that sort of retro-50's nuclear soviet holocaust is coming paranoia: 2 electric boogaloo thing. Everything WAS insane and terrible. If it hadn't been, WWIII wouldn't have happened.
>>81335841
The difference is that having an CCW pistol on me doesn't mean that the pistol is going to suddenly pop out of my holster and kill two people (and possibly more) just because of a weird situation all on its own.
>>81337234
>>81335690
That sounds like something Sarah would do instead of Holly.
>>81336160
Only just noticed that this was meant for >>81334849. Oops.
>>81337471
That's pretty useful.
I guess they only have circular tables there.
>>81337048
You can't get those in a purse, and they don't go with any of her clothes!
>>81337028
If it actually happened to you, does it still count as paranoia?
>>81336319
>Coming armed with enough ordinance to level a house is kinda overkill.
That's kind of the point, the norm of this society was to consider that it wasn't.
>>81337644
>attacked by mutant
>try to get buddibombs to keep you safe
>buddibombs blow up another mutant
I wouldn't be at all surprised if she buys more now. Or Apex send her crates of the things to further keep her quiet.
>>81335018
More like he realized just how horrible shit has to be for someone to come armed when they responded to a cry for help back then
>>81334849
>>81336160
So far we've had one ditto flashback for Sparkplug (which was feral ones tormenting him), and another for Wally (which was Marx trying to help him explain it).
So I can see it either being a bunch of feral ones trying to drive a wedge between Holly and Wally, or it being Holly subconsciously trying to push Wally away.
Or it's not dittos at all (since there's sound), and then it gets complicated.
>>81338183
Aaron mentioned the whole ditto illusion was being manipulated by someone, we don't know who this some one is yet.
>>81334849
I don't know more than anything this shows us that the entire mindset at the time was horrible.
>>81338275
Holly still chose to go along with it, though. Even with Lyn trying to talk her out of it.
"Everyone was doing it" rarely works as a defense.
>>81337028
Shit, I forgot it had hands.
>>81338829
>Even with Lyn trying to talk her out of it.
Trying to talk her out of what? she had no control over the buddy bombs.
>>81338263
I got a feeling its either Marx or someone we haven't met yet.
>>81338829
It's still not her fault the buddy bombs activated. It's not like she had broght them there knowing they would activate.
It's the equivalent of carrying a gun with you and it accidentally shooting out of nowhere because it was badly manufactured.
>>81335511
>She hasn't bonked Wally
>>81338877
Out of owning something that dangerous in the first place. Because carrying something you don't directly control is a reckless thing to do, especially when it can be lethal.
>>81334686
Oh fuck you Wally... anyone with goddamn sense would come armed if some strange voice called up crying help.
>>81339432
I'm pretty sure that is what he's saying.
>>81336344
The MINUTE she got her hands on Clive she stopped interacting with the rest of the party, including Wally.
Note the sleeping arrangements.
>>81339851
she knows they don't want her bringing him, so she's paranoid that one of them is gonna grab him and bury him while she isn't looking
>>81339026
This is the equivalent of being tried be talked out of a product one consider dangerous where the norm has been constantly filling on that it's 100% safe product.
>>81338927
>It's not like she had broght them there knowing they would activate.
She didn't know that they would, but she was entirely aware that they *might* and *could*.
>It's the equivalent of carrying a gun with you and it accidentally shooting out of nowhere because it was badly manufactured.
Except it wasn't badly manufactured. You bought a gun with no safety catch, and a trigger you don't control. And it was clearly advertised as such. And it didn't fire out of nowhere, it fired in a situation where you'd expect it to fire.
>>81339851
Maybe Lynn got his brain plasticized and that's why Holly was so fixated on Clive. Clive may or may not have been her dead husband.
>>81340112
>but she was entirely aware that they *might* and *could*.
No she wasn't. It has been quite clearly established that she was convinced those bomb were 100% safe and wouldn't set-off unless ther was a real threat.
>Except it wasn't badly manufactured.
'"it's not a bug, it's a feature" Maybe it was Apex's intend to set off in presence of mutant, but this is something Holly wasn't aware of.
> You bought a gun with no safety catch, and a trigger you don't control.
Apex sold them under the assurance that those were 100% sure and wouldn't cause friendly fire.
>And it was clearly advertised as such.
No, it was advertised as a weapon who would never hurt an innocent.
>and it didn't fire out of nowhere, it fired in a situation where you'd expect it to fire.
There is no fucking way Holly was expecting a situation were her friend would mutate into a snek that would trigger her bombs.
>>81338829
Realistically the odds of Ethel wouldn't have been a violent mutant is 33%. Given how it was mid day that would probably have been higher.
Hell, we don't know if monsters can't operate phones or even speak in some twisted parody of themselves. Holly could very well have run into another scene like Sparkplug did.
>>81339968
>>81340341
Someone went over this last thread. It's never claimed in the comic anywhere, by anyone, that buddibombs are safe, let alone 100% safe.
They're bombs. They don't claim to be otherwise. Nobody seems to be under any impression that they aren't lethal.
>>81339432
> strange voice
Holly knew it was her friend.
>>81340393
no shit they're lethal, but nobody thinks they target innocents
>>81340393
>Someone went over this last thread. It's never claimed in the comic anywhere, by anyone, that buddibombs are safe, let alone 100% safe.
They were sold to be safe enough to be Child-friendly. If its not 100% safe, this level of safety is damn close to it.
>They're bombs. They don't claim to be otherwise. Nobody seems to be under any impression that they aren't lethal.
Everyone who buy it are under the impression that it will never hurt the "honest citizen".
>>81340440
It didn't target an innocent. It targeted a snake, which anyone could reasonable assume is dangerous.
We know the snake is innocent, Holly and the bombs didn't.
>>81340341
> No, it was advertised as a weapon who would never hurt an innocent.
I don't think it was, but even if it did...
Who in the fuck would believe that? Does Holly also believe those 'eat anything you want while losing weight' commercials?
>>81340506
>which anyone could reasonable assume is dangerous.
But no one in their right mind would assume that their best friend would turn into a snake.
>We know the snake is innocent, Holly and the bombs didn't.
I think Apex set the bomb to target all mutant, innocent or not.
>>81340112
Actually they were advertised as being both autonomous and not a danger to anyone that didn't actually pose a threat. Holly had no control over them and they were billed as having proper judgement themselves.
The only thing Holly did was put them in her purse on a separate occasion and then bring it when she went to Ethel's
>>81340506
>We know the snake is innocent, Holly and the bombs didn't.
I still think Ethel was going to kill her. Wheeling out the drinks at a baby shower, that's not right!
>>81340528
>I don't think it was,
Holly herself consider them safe for her baby.
>Who in the fuck would believe that?
Most of the population, apparently. Holly's friend had no probelme offering those to a pregnant woman.
Like Flynn say, this world had gone mad.
>>81339026
I still think Lyn is going to pull some shit. Does this look like the face of someone who is not going to do something really, really bad?
>>81340554
>But no one in their right mind would assume that their best friend would turn into a snake.
We don't even know yet if Holly actually believed it was Ethel or not. If she didn't, then as far as she knows the bombs did what they were meant to.
>>81336319
2nd amendment applies to all arms and even today in america you can purchase grenades and various other explosives as long as you qualify and pay for the correct licenses and tax stamps and can find sellers for them.
>>81335587
dude, I don't even read this comic and I can infer that he's talking about himself just as much here.
>>81340506
We also knew what to expect. Holly did not, so she tried to prepare for anything. Since she knows things like >>81337028 exist, it's easy to understand.
>>81334686
>>81340929
>We don't even know yet if Holly actually believed it was Ethel or not. If she didn't, then as far as she knows the bombs did what they were meant to.
The way she looked, she seemed truly horrified by what was going to happens.
>trusting a talking snake
https://youtu.be/r2SSEaWCAi0?t=43
>>81341630
I think it looks a lot more like she's just taking the opportunity to get out the door while the snake isn't looking at her. She was terrified of Ethel from the moment she appeared, and nothing really changed that until she was covered in bombs. And all that did was provide a distraction to escape, and an additional motivation to get away because she knew what would happen next.
So it's entirely plausible she never actually accepted what the snake was telling her.
>>81342087
>I think it looks a lot more like she's just taking the opportunity to get out the door
Her hand on her face indicate more than anything her urge to not completely break down. She is running away because she know the bomb are going to explode and there is nothing she can do about it.
>>81342087
>She was terrified of Ethel from the moment she appeared, and nothing really changed
Well, why wouldn't she? Anyone seeing this would be quite horrified. And she looked just as terrified of the Buddy Bombs in action. there is nothing that can really be blamed on her.
so how many times do you thing lyn has dipped his sausage inside chubby mouse mcgee?
>>81342307
More than once, I suppose?
>>81342244
For the first 3 panels though, she's clearly trying to not to make a noise so the snake doesn't notice her get to and out the door.
>>81342404
Obviously. Talking snek is scary
>>81334686
>killing someone
>"That's terrible!"
Coming from you, Kirbee...
>>81334963
I shat bricks that day.
>>81342404
>For the first 3 panels though, she's clearly trying to not to make a noise
She is simply trying to stand back.
>>81340341
>>but she was entirely aware that they *might* and *could*.
>No she wasn't. It has been quite clearly established that she was convinced those bomb were 100% safe and wouldn't set-off unless ther was a real threat.
Yes, and that means she was aware of the possibility that they could go off. That was my point.
Holly thought the bombs would only activate in the presence of a genuine threat.
She took the bombs with her, in case of such a threat.
She arrived and encountered a threat.
The bombs activated and exploded the threat.
That sequence of events is entirely expected if you own and carry buddibombs with you, because that's their entire purpose. From their description so far, there's nothing to mislead you about them doing anything else.
The part that Holly *didn't* expect was that Ethel herself would be the threat. That isn't an issue with the buddibombs. They aren't malfunctioning or doing something they said they wouldn't do. They're still doing *exactly* what they said they'd do. Holly just failed to consider the possibility of encountering a threat she didn't want to blow up, which is why the blame falls to her for carrying such a weapon.
Assuming, that is, she didn't actually want to blow up Ethel, since it's kinda ambiguous as to whether she believed the snake was her friend and/or whether it wasn't actually going to hurt her. And given the previous monster encounter, it wouldn't be hard to see why.
I'm not saying they're a good or safe product, since they're clearly ridiculous and dangerous. I'm with Lyn in saying anyone who'd use them is mad.
>>81344040
>I'm with Lyn in saying anyone who'd use them is mad.
technically so is holly, she just didn't want to risk her child's for being too "sane".
>>81342307
Well, she isn't a mouse yet.
>>81342307None, baby isn't even his.
>>81342688
>She wasn't actually going to save Wally by finding Molly, just make him fight.
>The always beat prisoners to death anyway.
>She didn't care about Wally in as much to rescue him, she just thought that a straight execution was somehow wrong as opposed to a heavily one sided fist fight to the death.
>Kirbee wasn't actually a good person.
It's all coming down man. Both her and Pitor were examples of people knowing the right thing but not doing it because their society wanted different.
>>81345078
So you're saying Lyn is a rooster?
>>81334963
That fake-out only lasted a few pages. He's spent a bit long on this flashback for it to all be for nothing.
The only twist I can still see isthe events not being wholly accurate, since we don't have Holly around to verify any of this.
>>81342688
>>81345165
Kirbee's first appearance... she was supposed to appear just once, funny how a background character was suddenly turned into best girl.
>>81344040
>Holly just failed to consider the possibility of encountering a threat she didn't want to blow up
Exactly, what idiot wouldn't take into consideration the possibility of their friend turning into a talking venomous animal?
I mean sure, if Ethel had tried to kill her for some reason as a human and the bombs went off then it would've just been exactly as expected.
But it's on Holly to account for the possibility of the bombs targeting a friendly due to something as common as a full physical transformation into an entirely different creature that might trigger the bombs on some other parameter than bad intentions.
>I'm with Lyn saying anyone who'd use them is mad.
Which is exactly what Wally is talking about, EVERYONE is understandably insane with paranoia due to the war, which is terrible, and Apex is profiting off it hard.The second I read today's strip I knew Kirbeefags would still be trying to spin this on that mouse and take what Wally says out of context somehow.
>>81345324
>The only twist I can still see is the events not being wholly accurate, since we don't have Holly around to verify any of this.
we don't really a have reason to believe this is not accurate, and holly being around would actually make things worse... imagine her trying to stop herself like sparkplug did out of anger...
>>81345165
She didn't want him to fight, so much as she wanted him to try and survive.
And in fairness, she did say 'needless' killing. This being the person who they could get to go on literal snipe hunts. They must have done something wrong to end up in the ring, right?
I wonder what excuse they used to get her to help in the purge...
>>81334686
>Last panel.
>Someone dressed the same as Kirbee
She lies!
>>81345474
Also I doubt whoever is behind this wants to give Holly a chance to explain herself.
>>81345823
>>81345324
>Holly is trapped inside the human version of herself, mirroring the reality of human Holly trapped within her mouse body
>She is forced to relive her mistakes in every detail
imagine being forced to relive that horribly awkward moment in high school again, in vivid detail, with full knowledge of what is happening yet unable to influence it or change it... just watch.
>>81345823
>>81346116
>>81345324
Holly is there, hidden from the others by dittoes and crying uncontrollably as she watches her former self walk down an all too familiar path, knowing full well where it will lead
>>81345823
>Also I doubt whoever is behind this wants to give Holly a chance to explain herself.
she has nothing to explain, she's not at fault here.
>>81345463
>>81346688
I don't think Holly can be blamed for not expecting Ethel to turn into a snake. The worst she can really be accused of is being reckless by using a weapon she couldn't control. But even then, she had no reason not to trust the bombs, and it's hard to blame them for doing what they're meant to.
Yet, Holly's insistence on wanting them is ultimately what killed Ethel, even if unintentionally. There are certainly mitigating factors (Wally's right and it's a pretty terrible world they're in right now), but in the end she shouldn't have given in to the culture of fear, and blindly trusted technology that would automatically eliminate anything that threatened her. Clearly she needed time to try to understand the situation with Ethel, but by following the buddibomb mindset she denied herself the opportunity to do that.
So yeah, there's a fault by her in there somewhere. It's an after-school special on cold war paranoia, that's for sure. Give peace a chance, let cooler heads prevail and try to understand your enemies instead of wanting to blow them up.page 10 and nobody will ever read this

Wow so original so clever.
>>81341002
Please don't talk about things you have no idea about. Explosives themselves are one thing, you can get stuff like TNT if you have the proper licensing and pay out the nose. Explosive Devices(IE, grenades) are illegal for private ownership and have been since 1932.
>>81339851
It probably didn't help that Chic pretty much immediately went turncoat and paired up with Kirbee instead.
Seriously I think it's the first time he ever looked happy in the comic.
>>81351333
not his fault, holly's hands were full, she was obviously too busy hating on kirbee for no reason to be taking care of both.
>>81352293

>>81352946
so?
>>81353129
>>81352293
>>81352318
I don't think Kirbee carrying Clive and Holly carrying Chic would have worked very well.
>>81353129
This face look pretty good in Google.
>>81353644
you know, holly is the one who likes being carried... maybe that's why she's mad towards kirbee.
Holly forever worst person.
Worst girl too, bad that goes without saying now.

>I've trimmed afew weapon entrees because they were pretty superfluous. I'm not telling you which!
>Working on it now: Serpent's tongue senses, speed.
Tomorrow we will have session 29 of our testing. I think its a good jumping on point for people and new players.

Sorry, I forgot the details.
Session will be held over roll.net at 12noon pst/ 3pm est.
>>81346173
>Holly all alone, hidden from everyone else and unaware of Wally and the rest, forced to watch herself
sounds about Endtown.
>>81358455
serves her right for pulling all the bullshit.
>>81357602
Actually, it'll be the 30th testing session.
1st was never recorded.
>>81342688
Literally too dumb to suffer
We need more mutants dealing with their embarassing new animal parts
>>81360546
I agree wholeheartedly anon.
>>81346116
It was Lyn who saw Wally though.
And... hmm.I'm suddenly realizing it may not be a coincidence that if a single one thing could have averted Ethel's death, it would have been Holly just listening to Lyn. About entertaining the notion that the mutation virus was real and people were changing. About not joining the buddibomb craze.
He was subtly giving Holly the opportunity to change what was about to happen. She didn't take it. It's all gone a bit Quantum Leap.
>>81355767
She was being crazy and irrational back then. And she's been crazy and irrational in the present too.
It's clear why she told Linda she believed people could change, as she desperately wants to think she herself can become a better person.
>>81364999
And it was apparently working until the rats came. Everyone who knew Holly thought she was a wonderful person. She tried to use her mutstion to start over and be the person she wanted to be.
>>81365127
It slipped through the cracks a couple of times before hand.
She's the sort of person who would take the easy, safe option (which is what the buddibombs were offering). Even if it's not the right thing to do.
It doesn't help that she seems to have a habit of trying to run and hide from her problems.
>>81365367
>It doesn't help that she seems to have a habit of trying to run and hide from her problems.
Like a particular species of common rodent
>>81365414
Wally likes to go off by himself... like a cat.
Linda... uuh... are koalas known for anything?
>>81365451
Eating eucalyptus leaves, looking dopey and dropping on people and savaging them, that's about it.
>>81365451
they're stupid, can only eat a single type of plant, the babies have to eat their mother's shit, have sharp claws, and not much else
>>81365414
The fact Ethel turned into a snake indicates she was a bad person who probably deserved to die.
>>81365451
the only food they can eat gets them high as fuck and they will slash your throat if you piss them off
>>81365503
In most cultures snakes are symbol of rebirth/good. She turned into a constrictor type too and those are seen has powerful/strong snakes. Those types of snakes are pretty calm.
>>81334686
They're still all going to forgive her at the end of this. Kirbee and Chic carried on as if nothing had happened after her last episode.
>>81365503
Like a person who devours those weaker than her, chokes them to death and swallows them whole?
Analogous to relentless gossiping/ rumor spreading like some stereotypical kind of Stepford wife?
>>81366004
>Kirbee and Chic carried on as if nothing had happened after her last episode.
wally did, besides what were they supposed to do? beat her up again?, holly admitted she had a problem and everything cooled off... for a moment though.
>>81365540
true Australians!
>>81366004
Wally has already murdered people himself, and Kirbee was aware of what was going on in her colony (and she still contributed to it in a small part).
Chic probably would be happy to get away from Holly as the earliest opportunity, but is okay with hiding behind Kirbee in the meanwhile. He's used to this dysfunctional stuff from his own parents.
>>81366484
Chic has a hard life.
>>81368682
he was gonna grow to be a serial killer, unity was doomed the moment he was born.
>>81368726
I like how it's both a cynical joke but also a fair assumption in the world of Endtown.
>>81368726
>>81368682
Just wait until he gets a robot body.
>>81360546
>>81362639
How about some ideas? I can start with one:
>Passive, quiet girl turns into a tasmanian devil
>Tries to remain sweet and calm but switches like a dime to her crude, aggressive behavior
>Even managed to take down some of the larger mutants in a fight
>She hides away in her home because she's ashamed of her behavior and worries of hurting someone
>Earned the nickname Jekyll and Hyde
>>81365542
>Most cultures
Who totally can't be cited, right?
>>81366004
Wally killed Ed, Leo, and Allie so you know, mistakes happen.
>>81368726
Even if he had been born a lizard, he'd still probably end up killing people since that's all they seemed to do for fun. There really was no winning for him.
>>81369011
most Asians cultures and some more likely too
>>81365542
>>81369151
Do you know what "most" means?
I don't know about you but here in Mexico the only good snake is the one on your plate.
>>81368952
Office chief
>Becomes a pig
>Used to be a kind understanding guy.
>Now as a pig he doesn't give two flips about what other people think. He doesn't even care what people above him think. As much as he hates to admit it, he doesn't even care about other people's well being!
>He has stop pause and think hard to do the right thing.
>>81369095
He's made bigger ones, what with the teacher and all. And he did at least acknowledge his hand in them.
We know Holly's been tormented about losing her baby, but she's kept the whole killing thing quiet.
>>81369480
Veteran Combat pilot
>becomes an eagle
>Fractures wing
>cant fly anymore due to the lack of airplanes on the wastes and his broken wing
>becomes a grumpy old man who lives in eternal resentment, as he can no longer do what he loved the most, regardless of his ironical mutation.
>>81369722
what about the healing factor?
>>81368952
>>81369480
>>81369722
It's been a while since a good old Endtown OC session.
>>81371376
damn dk, these are pretty damn good!.
>>81371229
ok, amputee, that better?
>>81369690
Everyone seems to think Holly will be torn up about killing Ethel, but she'll have made the exact same rationalization Wally did back then. Mutant that may or may not have actually attacked her? Killing it was still the safe, and therefore right thing to do. For all she knew Ethel was going to end up like the last monster she saw. Husband caught in the blast? She clearly didn't see him on her way out, and there's not going to be much left to figure out what actually happened. The conclusion that will likely be reached is that he was already dead, killed by the mutant, further justifying what she did so she wouldn't be next.
When Holly herself eventually mutates, that attitude isn't going to change. Because fast-forward to present Holly, and she still has it. She doesn't share Wally's sensibilities about killing, and on plenty of occasions has put keeping herself (and that of the people she cares about) safe, even if it doesn't necessarily mean doing the right thing.
Of course, she isn't even going to know the truth about what happened until she saw it again now. And it's hard to guess what being confronted with it will do.
>>81371548
I think it makes more sense that he is an old man who has spent decades as a human and simply is not comfortable as a mutant. He's not keen on being something he feels he is not.
>>81368952
drop the takedown stuff and she ain't bad.
>>81371753
i tried to make it look as if he was cool with his mutation given the circumstances, specially since it allowed him to fly which was his life long dream. The loss of his wing destroyed his ability to fulfill his dreams, turning him into a bitter and grumpy and frustrated person...
>>81372023
>bitter, grumpy and frustrated.
>>81372023
a elderly combat vet is usually someone who knows who they are, a lifetime of experience that defines major aspects of their personality. With mutation you have someone who is too old to remake themselves and is left with nothing but begrudging tolerance of their own situation.
>>81372023
someone who has spent that long as a human would probably just go quietly nuts if they mutated, too tired to schism.
that is very sad, and hence very Endtown.
>>81371522
Thanks! Feels good to make them again!
I invite others to share their ideas if they are so inclined.
>>81372200
i guess that makes sense, but if you have it to were he's just uncomfortable by the mutation... wouldn't it make it kind of generic? pretty much everyone is uncomfortable with his mutation, i just wanted to spice his story with a bit of irony.
>>81372552
Cool, I'll give it a shot I guess.

furry who gets massively frustrated by mutating into a salamander
i miss snek already...
>>81374459
I don't
Why would I feel any attachment to a character I haven't gone through with anything; unlike Al, Petey, Wally, Holly, Jim or Kirbee
All we know is a name, a weird personality distorted by mutation, and that she was okay in falling into the paranoia and get Holly some grenades
>>81374459
Don't worry, there will be othersfor Holly to kill.
>>81373843
Thanks DK!
>>81374802
you must be fun at parties.
>>81374802
It's always sad to see a cute snake explode.
>>81371376
Tasmanian anon here, and that's absolutely adorable, thanks for drawing these out DK.
>>81371911
Would be like living with a woman that's on her period every other day. Some days, sweet as can be. Other days, teeth barred ready to tear into someone, at least verbally.
>>81373843

Really cute, thanks DK. Still up for taking ideas?

Well, you went bonkers after having a transport talk smack about you, grew obsessed over keeping it safe after going even crazier after seeing Jim turn into a psychic zombie and genocide the lizards by fire, threatened Chic and Kirbee when they hid it, called them all inhumane for doing so, and still blamed them after it was proved that it was being tracked.
You need therapeutic help, because it's hard to love your crazy bitch ass at the moment. Once you're calm and recollected we'll start loving you again.
>>81380429
>not wanting to comfort Holly and help her get better
what is wrong with you?
We had our usual RPG Session today! It was great!
Transcript: http://pastebin.com/4Ar3aPuS
And well... Martin and Everett are now banished from the colony. You know, saving colony from a nuke is nothing. Disarming a nuke? Miniscule. But asking Mallard to buy a blaster from him to use for scouting missions? "YOU HAVE 2 MINUTES TO LEAVE THE COLONY. YOU'RE BANISHED".
Anyway... more art incoming from this. Welcome to F&*@^% Endtown!
>>81379368
>>81379704
>>81380429
I'M NOT CRAZY! FUCK YOU! YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DEGENERATE SUBNORMAL LIZARD BITCH, WE ARE DONE!...
I thought you guys were different... i was wrong.
>>81380497
I said therapeutic. Most I can do is hold her close and whisper in her earbitch stop ackin' kray, then go do something else. I don't have the sanity-restoring-dick power that people boast when they fuck crazy.
>>81380827
what Holly needs is along hug, a hot meal and a good fuck
>>81371229
Maybe he's just old and fat?
>>81365451
They usually live on one tree and make honking noises when disturbed.
>>81365489
>the babies have to eat their mother's shit
Boom. Case solved
>>81371376
>>81373843
That's cool!
Make a bear guy, but he's a superhero luchador. He used to be a dirty mob enforcer and he sees his transformation as a sign that he must do good. So now he's going to be good! The best! He is Oso Supremo, fiery hearted champion of the wastes!
>>81380497
I wouldn't want to go anywhere near those teeth in the near future.
>>81380497
There is no going back. This is the true Holly we're finally seeing now.
>>81381389
He prowls the wastes to fight Topsiders with his bear-style luchador moves. He even knitted himself a special mask, boots, and tights to be a true luchador. Crazy thing is, he actually took down a scouting party and survived.
>>81380516
It was fun. Please upload any art you make here when you get it done, would like to see it.
>>81381821
That sounds more like the case of a Schism syndrome mutant.

Hey, lovely stuff DK as always.
I did have an idea of a character I could play in Endtown RPG that I scrapped. Maybe you want to take a shot - basically a "Nice" version of Max from first Mad Max - a boar sheriff, armed with a 12g, patrolling the wastes is his falling-apart car, dispensing justice against wrongdoers like thieves and raiders but he's really a simple nice guy and thinks that even that when society falls apart he still should do his duty, a worldview that actually keeps his sanity intact.
Could every degree of anthro be found in Entown?
I mean, there was Flask and if Cooper is right then the right combo of drugs should turn you into a human with mutated bits.
>>81382888
Just hit me, but Reptilian police officers would be funny.
You can't refer to them as pigs OR fuzz.
>>81382984
Either you're a Typhoid Mary or Furnace Tier and below. The virus has to hit hard to have an impact.
