HH inflicts a triple-sized conclusion on the board. Yep. Triple. *sigh*

Subj: There's always the spare change to worry about.

    Untold Tales of the Lair Legion #354: Settling Debts


Great settling! I do feel like I need to sit, absorb, and perhaps re-read before replying, but I'll press on anyway.

Some great character bits, Ham-Boy has really come into how own and grown as a Legionnaire hasn't he?

Goldeneyed's reaction was well portrayed, as was his anger and none-to-subtle threat to Vinnie.

Can we drag Bry from his real-life domestic bliss to come here and give us more on G'eyed's take on this? (For that matter, let's drag Hatty here as well - because why not?).

On to the other bits: Did insane Ioldobaoth really eat the flesh and drink the blood from Amnesia's corpse in order to gain the strength he needed to escape? Because that's all sorts of nasty and makes me look at the Hood in a totally different light.

Well, all that aside the Herrigcarp Gothic story was a very good insight into both what had happened to Amnesia, but more importantly, a very good insight into the Hood himself. A brutal origin years in the making.

The way I see it there are two ways you can read his farewell to Amnesia:


    Quote:
    Already the Hood knew the limits of his power. “I may not redeem you,” he told the spirit of Herringcarp. “Too much would unravel. Too much would be lost.”


I'm not certain which way is the correct way, or maybe I am certain, and I just don't want to accept it.

So, Beth/Laurie are both somewhat better off than before. Presumably that's a win of sorts. Time will tell. The Don/Beth hug at the end was a nice touch.

Vicki Vee was an entertaining problem but did I mention how much lawyers annoy me? I'm so glad Hatman Rumpoled that guy. So. Glad.

ManMan was enjoyable and handled the Baroness well, though there is still the mystery Knifey was told not to talk about to yet be talked about. I do want to see a ManMan, STL and Pudu-Boy team up one day now.

Speaking of mysteries, we never did find out what the weird whispering and writing in the file room was all about. Are you sure this is a conclusion?

It was enjoyable to see our friends on the moon. The reference to D.D.'s emotions being behind the delay in cleaning out the Librarian's stuff was very perceptive of Vinnie.

Lots of hyperlinks here Ian. Thank you (and Rhiannon) for providing them. You may want to check one of the links in this paragraph and edit in the missing HTML:


    Quote:
    The archscientist frowned. “Okay, so the restoration of the Dreary Dimension affected that disruption in the plane of Corposant Fire. Also the http://www.chillwater.org.uk/HH/hhstories/untold%20tales%20of%20ll%20276.htm">shifting of Amazon Isle to block one back door into the Parodyverse. Some serious fallout from Crisis Across Infinite Parody Earths and the various temporary dimensional hook-ups it caused. The crash of the Esperine reality into the Swordrealms. There’s the upheaval caused by the destruction of hundreds of alternate-Earths. Then there’s the reshaping of the netherworlds because of the current hell-wars. All of that was massively affected by the destruction of the Conceptual Plane fighting the Parody War…” He paused. “There’s quite a bit of missing narrative force here.”


Corposant Fire. it all comes back to Corposant Fire. Return Moonraker to Life!

Can anyone please give me a reminder of what the six fragments of the Insanity Stones were again? (Yeah, yeah, I know we just read through it last issue).

The obscure references (return of obscure villain the savage Jumbuck (who I really enjoyed by the by) as but one small example) is a reflection of just how deep and rich the lore of the Parodyverse is. It's really epic what has been written here over the years, isn't it?

I do feel compelled to point out that a jumbuck is a sheep, not a rabbit - are we certain he doesn't just have a bad tailor?

So what did the Hood exchange with Camellia le Fey? It was bodily fluids, wasn't it?



Alright, I can put it off no longer. Kyza...

Son of Harper is a Kylo Ren wannabe. Oh joy. Son, I am disappoint. At least he's not into Ponies, I suppose that's something.

Good thing that you-know-what is about to occur and time travel will become impossible!

Yeah, fun to romp though this world again, I'm, as usual, in awe of your ability to weave and plot all these things together. It leaves me wanting more.

Well done, and bravo!
