    An interesting sojurn into the Shee-Yar palace. From your description of the monsters I thought they might be Apocalyspian War Hounds, but odds are Emmazon and Company would have recognized them. It seems they do have a mystical master though: could one of the Dead Hell Lords be returning? Or maybe even worse: the Chain Knight? He was Death for a while, as I recall. Quite a surprise revelation at the end as well. Poor Liu Xi. I won't say poor Exu because he was kind of a knob.


It's a whodunnit alright. We've seen the villain before and it's not the Necromancer General (a poster suggested that Bogdan wasn't a very dangerous occult threat so I'm trying to up my game). Some of the clues are there, albeit rather arcane ones.

    The stuff in the Center of the Universe was fun too. I noticed besides evil violin players, the heroes had to face Agents and Critics as well. Anything metatextual going on there?


Only in that I'm trying to logically extrapolate what other sanity-mangling but still Parodyversian stuff might happen there. Lovecraft described blind galaxy-sized Azathoth lulled in his sleep by madly cavorting pipers; the Parodyverse tends to distort even elder gods through its unusual lens.

I don't actually have an agent and the only real critics I hear from these days post at the PVB!

    Looking forward to the next part.


I didn't write it today so there may be a delay.
