Yay! He seems to be snapping out of it! Now – just play it cool, Blanche, play it cool…
Blanche, you silly boy, you can’t see the screen with that ivory-white curtain in your eyes. No button mashing will save you!
(Wait, how does the Avalon get electricity without arousing suspicion? Magic? They made magic electricity and never told us?? Oh, you *better* hide, you sneaky technopaths, we’re gonna get you for not sharing with the world being in the state it is!) /tangent
That question was asked as an RQ on Patreon back in June, and answered by Kory.
To read her answer, you’ll have to join Patreon.
Could you give a link to the question? I don’t remember that one coming up on Patron, and I can’t seem to find it on there.
Here you go, mage_cat

What’s the pay grade on that question? I contribute at the five dollar level so I can see the Patreon answers, but I can’t access that one.
Same here, the link just redirects me to the Patreaon front page. I’m guessing this is the Reader Question 10 that seems to be missing when I look at the Creations list? Before this I had assumed the numbering on the RQ going from 9 straight to 11 was just a typo or something.
The numbering definitely wasn’t a typo mage_cat.
And yeah, I screwed up in posting that RQ URL without knowing what tier you and Chaos were on.
:(
Chaos, to ask RQs you have to be on the $10 USD tier or above. I just checked the page, and it’s still open to asking questions.
I just copied the URL from the main Creations page Kory has on Patreon.
Oh, I know. But the $5 tier allows you to -view- the answers, and I can see the majority of them… but not that one. (I think it might be mis-flagged?)
Sorry! I just saw this and went to figure out what was up. The text-only answers are a $10-only feature, but I found out that I skipped right from Reader Question 9 to Reader Question 11! So I went back and fixed that.
Oh, thanks!
You actually can see with hair over your eye, even if it looks like you can’t.
They spread the rumor that Google has installed a huge server farm in that building.
Actually, almost any shell company would do, at least from the suppliers point of view. Quarterly bill for McKinnon and sons, grocery wholesalers? Who’d bat an eyelid?
A bigger problem is probably convincing near neighbours it’s still the warehouse it’s supposed to be without a constant flow of traffic. . .
(Were I setting something like this up from scratch, I’d register the site to an archival or storage company. Which would convincingly explain away not only the need for that much space, but both the fact that day to day there was little or no apparent activity, and the occasional arrival of vehicles of up to ‘transporting megafauna’ size.)
Blanche is playing kINGDOM HEARTS. Ahh, I didn’t think I could love him as a character more but it happened.
Tony, I hope you apologize for such a rude outburst. And perhaps you can try to play with those hands, or those feet
Tony really doesn’t have anything to apologize for.
He does, Mishyana.
Despite his outburst of anger being understandable, he has his actions over the course of the day to apologize for.
Whether we get to see him do that, well there’s only one page to go.
Fair enough, but I don’t think it’s really fair to expect him to. It’s like dropping really horrid news on someone in the real world and expecting an apology out of them later for any angry outbursts that result, x 10.
Tony, just remember no one really wants to be in this situation. Everyone’s dealing with it as best they can, and maybe that isn’t the right way, but they’re trying.
I think they all understand that now, Mizana.
Anthony’s had several hours to calm down after his earlier outburst.
How things go, time will tell.
But in truth, the only day really rougher on Anthony, was the one detailed in Exchanges.
I, too, like to play Kingdom Hearts to unwind.
Aww, is that Blanche’s first molted antler on the shelf back there?
Pretty cute, and not as creepy as keeping your kids’ baby teeth.
I love Blanche’s face, I feel like he’s just thinking: “Don’t make any sudden movements, don’t want to startle him….”
“…What’s he going to do now? Awkward silence? Awkward conversation? Awkward hug? Crying death-glomp? Berserk attack? Hair-pulling attack? Strangulation? Ligature-assisted? I don’t think we have any piano wire in the house… and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to do a rabbit punch with his hands the way they are… …should I pause the game…?”
>:=)>
Also, love the irony that it’s a deer we’re imagining doesn’t want to startle something.
And I just read everything from this series so far in one sitting… I really hate doing that.
kingdom hearts!!
Whoo! Kingdom Hearts! Looks like he’s playing the Monstro level. And looks like Riku’s there too, so he must be fighting the Parasite boss.
On second thought, I take that back. That’s not Riku, that’s a Search Ghost. Riku didn’t have his skirt-thing in the Monstro level anyway… yes, I have played this game more than once :P
Correct, looks like one of the random chambers 1-6. The place is a maze, but so much easier to navigate once you clear Neverland. Random encounter with a search ghost.
Speaking as someone that’s played the first game, and am ironically replaying that exact portion, Blanche probably hasn’t noticed Tony yet. Combat in KH is a chaotic mess that needs a large amount of your concentration. Which makes it excellent to take your mind off things. I’m expecting a startled-deer reaction when/if Tony speaks up.
Dear god, you people are worse than when I looked up an unknown pill that Erin Lindsey put in a Venus Envy strip… =D
How can you guys even tell that much about what he is playing? I can tell it is kingdom hearts by the various meters and such. the rest looks like a water color mess XD
Some of us have played and replayed those games more than we probably ever want to admit. XD The fact that they’re re-releasing games for PS3 isn’t helping. ^^;
*not-so-patiently waiting for KH2.5*
Also the alt text straight-up calls it the Monstro level.
I always forget the alt text ><
If you look at the walls, it’s pretty obvious that it’s the Monstro level. That’s the only level with walls that have that pattern. And if you know the game well enough, you’ll remember that the Search Ghost is one of the most common enemies you see in that level. At first I thought it was Riku, but like I said he doesn’t have his heartless-skirt-outfit-thing at that point, so I deduced it was a Search Ghost, which also explains the red light coming out of it.
NERD POWERS- ACTIVATE!
*flies away on a cloud of obscure fandoms*
I love tails <3 But honestly who did the godawful decorating in blanche's house, like how on earth did they do the whole house and not once think "maybe I'm overdoing it a little?"
When you are a deer and your son is a deer and your wife is a deer with wings, it might be difficult to feel you are ‘overdoing it a little’ on the deer motif.
Besides, it’s likely not so much an intentional decorating scheme as it is several centuries worth of family antiques that would be difficult to get rid of.
And it’s not like pictures and such of humans are a rare sight in human homes.
Ah, so it might not be Blanche’s dad’s antler on that shelf, but a great-grandfather.
Yeah, I hated that level too. So annoying.
That reminds me, I need to get a new controller so I can beat the living daylights out of people with a giant freakin’ key once more.
Of course, I’ll be doing it on my PS3 because I’m so haxor that I can do that…
The fact that the Remix of the game recently came out on PS3 (with 2 coming out later this year, yay!) likely helps with that!
Seriously, though, fun game. Blanche has good taste in entertainment.
Thank you for reminding me that I need to go get that.
Actually, I don’t have the Remix version. I just have the original PS2 version.
I’m just so ninja that I can play it on my PS3.
Is that Blanche’s first shed antler on that shelf? :o
Deer gain one point on their antlers per year, but I’m not sure how it works with mythical deer. I’m pretty sure that his first shed antler would only have one point; therefore that would definitely not be his first shed antler.
Agreed, not at that size, but I like the thought that it is one of his!
I know this is a little off topic, but what is Blanche playing?
Kingdom Hearts, likely on a PS2, going by the colour of the controller he has.
Silyon and Flaming Squirrel have ID’d what level, chamber, is being played and what creature is on screen.
Monstro level, one of the random chambers 1-6, and a Search Ghost.
Okay FIRST OFF can i say that Blanche is just AMAZING? I mean even though his friend is going through some tough times and has insulted him and yelled at him he is still so sorry and friend-like and i need friends like that
I can’t tell if Tony is trying to step lightly around to someplace else or gonna quietly join the game. But given there is a game to play it is likely he is heading over to join the fray.
Having time to think always helps. Now as long as Blanche takes it slow…
Hmm, first his ringtone, then his choice of games. Blanche is clearly a Disney fan. ^^
This art made me think of your comic <3

Just noticed the text that appears when you hover over an image with your cursor. Well time to re-read the comic… again :P
Seems ends too early. So much left undone.
This isn’t the end of their story, just the end of one part of their story. They’ve reached a turning point, and eventually the comic will get back to them.
Aw, is that an old antler Blanche shedded at some point in his youth? It’s like keeping your baby teeth but not :D
It has more points than the ones he’s got now, so no. More points means someone older.
Must be one of his dad’s antlers.
I could never get past the Monstro level either. For me, that is where Kingdom Hearts ended.
Don’t see why everyone else makes such a big fuss about it…
