unsounded

Only two of Bell's people left standing. There was no way they really had a chance against all those Alds, but at least they died for a better cause than the one they'd been fighting for when they got here. Alas, everyone rots regardless.

Watch your butt, Hetr!

Thank you for all the hurricane well wishes! It actually wound up being a decent little mini break, and I did some scriptwork on my Chromebook while bunking at a friend's place. Hopefully that's all my area sees for the year and the Atlantic leaves us alone. Knock on Wand'ring Root.

I really love this upcoming scene. Ac...

~Closed for Inclement Weather~

Hey friends! Hurricane Elsa is coming to knock my power out, so I'm going to skip Wednesday's update in favour of bunking with a friend with a generator for a few days. Barring the unforeseen, I'll be back with a new page on Friday.

Stay safe, Floridamen!

I imagine Uaid is fairly recognisable if you're up on your Aldish traitors and your bizarre constructs. He definitely ain't military.

16_39

Soldiers are scary enough but enemy soldiers whom you can't even communicate with, and who seem to know something you don't, I find particularly scary. Don't ask for a translation please, not knowing is the point!

Anyway, who's ready for Uaid to do some battlin'.

16_38

I've seen so much speculation that everyone in that warded room is destined for the chopping block! Makes more sense to worry about all the people abandoning safety to go gallivanting around in the war zone~

16_37

Helpful pilgrims, rethink your helpfulness! D: And Sara, don't chase Siya either, you weren't invited!

16_36

Lori and Iori never meet in the comic but I love their relationship anyway, haha. Lori's bitterness and Iori just blithely sending the Quigleys to her anyway, half a favour to them and half a "Do you ever think about me, sis?" to Lori. Not realising that a day doesn't go by without Lori thinking about her quite intently, and ...

I think you can tell the Chief designed this cutesy pymaric shield. We'll be seeing more of the shakey-shake effect on the site; this is just a test run.

16_34

Tsk, Sette, hiding out in the girl's bathroom like a little weenie scrub. Don't you know there's all kinds of havoc to be causing outside?

16_33

Uncle Masek to the rescue! Mostly. Two kids out of three is pretty good considering what they've done.

16_32

The tail animates if you view it on the site - https://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch16/ch16_32.html

The two-toes ninety percent exist because I'm a Floridian, and I love our native anoles. They are truculen...

16_31

Truly deadly guerrilla warfare with your little spoon against armoured soldiers. Brave but dumb.

16_30

Important bit of information here. Duane doesn't sound like his living self. His vocal cords rotted and he was rendered mute until he installed a pymaric equivalent. He has a raspy, slightly artificial sounding voice, and if you'd known him in life he'd sound like a stranger to you.

Also: Hey lizard lads! I'm sure you'r...

16_29

Duane is fluent in Soldier. It's not his preferred dialect, but he does just fine when among natives. Not sure Ricker's gonna be real appreciative of the directions though :3

16_28

Ol' Captain Claggart would be proud. You know how much that would have to hurt though? Between Duane's hard, fleshless metacarpals and his zombie strength, that K L O K must be audible three rooms away.

Little bit of amusing trivia: Duane had his roots as an RP character long, long ago, one created from a bit character ...

16_27

Ever get tired of all the grey characters in Unsounded? All the villains with reasonable motivations and the heroes with sketchy beliefs?

Screw that and let's hate on some irredeemable assholes! These guys are here to be walking pricks, dredge up all the worst stereotypes, destroy indiscriminately, feed their ids, and r...

Duane made good on his promise to Toma that he intended to check on the kids. Now let's see if he can keep his countrymen on task and away from them.

16_25

At least Abby's having a good time. I really like Hetr this chapter. Pymary has its place but it's pretty fun to draw a guy good at hacking people up with a sword. Visceral.

Back inside to Duane and the soldiers next update!

16_24

I know them feels, Matty. But Jivi is not going to agree to leave the shrine high and dry, there's no way.

16_23

In case you couldn't tell on the last page, the Chief is no kind of combat wright - she's an engineer. Not too complicated a maneuver to clock a dad in the head when he's suddenly panicking over his son though. She can't stick around and finish him off, fortunately. Chief's a little concerned over the fact that the headmistre...

16_22

Pretty hard to sneak up on a Plat if you're not a pro.

16_19-21

Three pages today. These would have been irritating with two days between each one, don't you think?

16_18

I don't feel this sequence will be well-served by drawing it out, so I'll drop all of next week's pages at once on Monday. Have a good weekend!

16_17

Uaid doesn't seem to want her to finish. But everything she's said has been truthful so far. We've seen time and time again that Uaid only listens to Matty. And we know that they all went to Cresce after fleeing Alderode. We also know that the Chief had to have gotten all of Vienne's work from SOMEWHERE, and a sneaky memory b...

16_16

Do you think she's telling the truth? After all, what could some random construct engineer possibly know about some random Aldish woman who died two years ago? And how?

16_15

This interaction very closely mirrors the very first interaction they had, when Quigley told Matty to GO AND WAIT so he could talk to Starfish about, ya know, just slave trafficking things. Quigley's life would have turned out a lot better if he'd paused to listen to the people he loved more, and not insisted on always barrel...

16_14

We haven't seen Uaid's inside restraining tentacles in a while. Kinda makes it look like Quigley's riding around in a kinky sex dungeon.

16_13

Ricker, stop being gross. Kinda proud of "cumulonimrods" though. Would be a great thing to call a stormbringer who blew your umbrella away.

Quigley and his hostage on the next page.
