This comic prompted Victor and I to have a conversation on crystal balls and what they can do, and why everyone doesn’t carry one around. They’re quite rare to begin with (made of an uncommon natural material) and can’t normally be used to contact other people directly unless a powerful magic-user has linked two of them. Even then, the link won’t last forever and they will have to be brought together and charged again eventually. Phones had to be invented in Idenau, because like a lot of magical solutions, crystal balls are not easily accessible to the vast majority of people.
This is a small one Skärva is giving away here, but we know he has a bigger one- do you remember seeing it years ago? They also have other uses, but I’m sure THAT won’t be relevant ever… hmm…
By the way, our 8th anniversary is coming up on June 4th. …Dear gods. Did Victor and I think we’d still be together and working on this eight years later? I dunno, we just kinda jumped into it and hoped for the best.
I absolutely LOVE his new outfit! So flashy!
Hah, I like that punchline: nicely unexpected, still a perfectly natural outcome in context. ^_^
“… so there aren’t any mistakes later on.” Oh, I daresay there will be.
You know, I could see that outfit working on someone–but that someone is, I fear, not Cyril. ^^;
Also, I’m thinking that being dead to Skärva might actually be better for poor Cyril.
Funny story, I almost forgot about this comic, but today on twitter Playtonic retweeted a drawing of Capital Bee by someone with an avatar of a familiar shark-faced villain. (Nice drawing btw.)
FFfft I never got an email about this comment, I’m so sad!
Gosh we haven’t updated since we FOUND OUT about the Impossible Lair and now it’s out, huh? Jeez that really puts things into perspective, hah. (The game rocks, by the way… and the comic will be back VERY soon!)
I miss Skarva :(. When can I see him again?
Sadly, it will be a while, but… that’s only because the next comics are minion-centric and they’ll be coming sooner than you might think
