Happy Birthday, Victor
on September 12, 2012 at 12:32 pmAltermentality:
I got that Vic a bard. Victors love bards.
Fun fact: originally Frozio was here too, and the joke was about the crappy entertainment I got for his party, but the joke didn’t really work because hey, I would want a penguin magician at MY party.
Being transported in cramped containers is a recurring theme in Cyril’s life. He’s used to it.
Cyril’s just happy to be wanted. Sort of. And happy birthday Victor!
Cyril is back!!! Happy birthday, Victor!
I wouldn’t say he’s back. Don’t get too excited.
I do miss drawing the guy, but NOT his accordion.
He’s back in our hearts. >.>
Well he never left my heart! So there!
Wow, How much does it cost to ship a bard all the way from Ideaunu?
Also, happy birthday victor!
A lot. Good thing the bard himself was practically free.
Cyril looks SO happy just to be showing up again.
Happy Birthday Victor!
Also, Cyril rocks. HI CYRIL.
And OMIGOSH another meme reference!
And Victor, at least he plays accordion! You can have an… accordion duet or whatever.
Also, I’m assuming thats Victor and just saying “Nice shirt!”
Also, I’m assuming that’s courtney and Victor and saying “Hey, Courtney! You drew you and Victor!
Also, that is all.
Victor doesn’t really have a shirt like that
I improvised. But those are exactly the clothes I was wearing on Wednesday. Unlike some artists, I rarely draw myself, but Victor says that I drew myself “exactly 100% how I look” here, so if you see me on the street, say hi!
Fun fact: we have four accordion players in our “marching” band now, and Victor is actually the leader.
Wow Monocle, It’s a good thing you can’t hyperventilate in a comment.
By the way, It’s my friend/neighbor’s birthday today as well!
Trust me; it happens.
Happy birthday Victor
Happy Birthday! May you age but never grow up!

Happy birthday, Victor! ^_^
(And my apologies that it’s belated. ^^; )
Cyril’s grin is… a little unnerving. Perhaps it would be less so if I didn’t suspect that I’d rather not hear too much of his music…
this has been one of my happiest months ever you have had a stream of funny and amusing comics, a wild Cyril apeared and i got the third ending in cave story,thank you.
Everyone you know is dead.
Still happy?
I am cause they are NOT dead and cyril appeared the only person who is dead is ballos
Aww, I’m glad to hear it. And I’m glad Cyril has his fans, despite not being in the comic for very long. I love him dearly… he’s sort of an amalgamation of my band nerd friends who are some of my very favorite people. The hairiness and everything.
Skarva, are you bothered by the fact that if you dont break the curse (or even if you do), that your son will most likely have five eyebrows?
I’ve been wondering about that.
Also, if Lorelei is officially adopted as a Skarva (or recognized as the Fifth by the gods), could she also have 5 eyebrows?
Skarva: “Look, people. No matter what happens, I really think the gods are going to stop with this eyebrow business after me. They’re cruel, but not INSANE. Well, I don’t think. Look, I’ll confront them about it when I meet them, alright?”
“You think I want children? HA! I have quite enough of that on my hands, without even asking for it…
Besides, I’m about as likely of spawning a brat as Derk is of sprouting pupils. I wish more ladies were as eager to see me have a kid as you seem to be.”
Well to be fair, in the comic you do look like a mother.
I hope that’s not offensive.
“I can’t say I’m offended, just… confused. Alright well actually I can say I’m offended.”
Apology accepted!
Oh wait…
That’ll be awesome to see.
“But before we start this fight… What’s with this eyebrow thing?!”
I want a bard for my birthday!
Also happy birthday Victor!
I HAVE A QUESTION.
What is black, roundish, used a long time ago, and fires balls out of one end using gunpowder?
… You… You stole my joke! *shakes his fist as lightning silhouettes him from behind* I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!
Or I won’t. *shrugs*
(I forgot to add the emoticon intended to convey tone. So, here it is: (*ahem*)
)
Phew, youre joking. Im just glad I noticed the afternote before I started putting up the barbed wire. Barriccades are easy to take down, but barbed wireee. ugh.
Well, since I missed my chance at the joke that Mr Monocle used above, and since we have established that answers might not concern matters relating to Catholic ecclesiastical law or certain clergy members, a question:
*ahem*
Cyril: What inspired you to become a musician? What do you enjoy about music?
Ecta: What was the last thing before the trip to fetch the lii flower that you recall making you happy?
Veronika: What is your dearest hope?
“Oh, well, there are a lot of bards in my family, so it seemed pretty natural! I was messing around with instruments since I was really little, but the first time I got my hands on an accordion I really fell in love! You see there are so many keys and buttons and you can play really complicated stuff! And, what I like about music, well, there are just SO many things! I mean who doesn’t like music? I – I guess that’s what I like about it. Music is something that everyone loves, I mean people like different kinds and not everyone likes the accordion, I don’t know why that is… but anyway, EVERYONE likes music, even the most sad and lonely people, in fact sometimes it can be the only thing that keeps you going in life, y’know? Not everyone likes sports, or reading, but I never met a person who doesn’t like music, so when I play a song I feel connected to everyone.”
“It’s rather presumptuous of you to inquire about my happiness. But for your information, there are lots of little things that make my afterlife more bearable. That hyperactive hairball just hit upon something with the music, after all. As for major events, well… … you know, I serve my Lord in everything, and when he comes up with a grand new scheme and is giddy with confidence, I’m happy for him.”
“Hope is just a lie you tell yourself. I don’t expect my life to break out of its current mold anytime soon. If it does, I’ll be pleasantly surprised, I guess.”
If I may be so bold, Posthumous do you remember how you became a zombie?
He was killed by a cannon!
“I… don’t talk about how I died. Now you’re not from Idenau so you may not know this, but that’s a very personal question for us dead people. Some people are very open about it and have no problem telling, but you’re not supposed to ask. I’m sorry, but I don’t like thinking about it anymore if I can help it.
How I became a ZOMBIE, though? Well, I came to – it was dark and I was completely surrounded by something, pressing in on all sides, and I was terrified – and I expected my heart to start hammering away, but it didn’t… and then I realized it wasn’t beating at all, nor was I breathing, and it all came back to me, my death, and I realized what must be going on. I was a bit angry at the gods, but at the same time I thought I was being punished personally and I deserved it. The gods and their sick sense of humor, eheh, heh. It had been so peaceful, so happy, to be one with the world, but I barely remember it… it’s like a dream.
Anyway, I clawed my way out of the dirt – no coffin for me – and all around me in the graveyard people were doing the same. They were joining up and commiserating with each other, but me, I just perched on my headstone for a while and tried to see what I had lost already… a couple fingers, among other things, and one of my eyes wouldn’t stay in… and I glanced down at my headstone and saw my old name, and realized it wouldn’t do anymore, that person had died, and I could be different now. But I’m not really. I never managed to change much – few people really do, I think. I suppose there are pros and cons about spirits being so resilient. So I made my way back to the manor because it was the only home I had. I can’t imagine my mother would have liked to see me like this.”
wow Posti… that was beautiful. and sad, but so touching. truly a wonderful bit of writing. so much feeling. so much depth. so different from any other zombie story out there, an amazing turn of prospective. i- i love it.
You’re probably gonna start losing readers pretty soon.
Well, not me but maybe those other guys.
Wait, huh? Who?
If anyone stops reading because I have trouble updating in a timely manner sometimes, well, obviously they don’t care about the story and characters all that much, and me and Victor’s health and sanity are more important than their fickle preference. However, our readers, at least the ones who comment, have never been anything but understanding.
I brought Derk some bacon, I know this doesn’t count as a question…
I would like to know how Floyd came to work at Castle Skarva, though!
Derk noms the bacon like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCoS9bgHpIo&feature=related
Floyd: Oh, that’s not terribly exciting, believe me. Basically I just don’t have a lot of career qualifications, and needed a steady paycheck. The room and board were pretty nice too. It was kind of funny when I met Slice and Ecta, but I think I’ll save that for later…
