Running time.

And now that the fight is over, the plot I read this comic for can resume!

It’s nice to see this page after seeing so much of Danni being awkward with whispers and in-game dialogue (while Kat and Jane don’t really use either very much). These guys are showing their experience as players, carrying two conversations at once.

Have fun dying!

Hah, if he does that, Dude will be the last one with an Esone.

…unless Jane has collected the Esones of that other group.

He needs a healer right now.
Who forms a party without a cleric?

Presumably as level 1 characters, 100% Erbana Kat *would* be the Cleric, but… there’s the whole “Missing an Esone” issue.

Like if you got resurrected in D&D and had to regain Cleric status afterwards.

Specifically because another player decided to, y’know, murder you. For benevolent reasons. Because he knows better than you.

=/ Bandit better not get this whole party TPK’d because he broke the Erbana.

Haha @ the last panel. The Bandit is not impressed.

I think Bandit’s dialogue bubble being higher and Dude’s being lower would help make that clockwise flow more clear.

Concurred, that was the only place I had trouble following the dialogue snake.

So this is the AI?

Amazing just how much like Kat this AI is. Makes me wonder if Kat is perhaps pretending to be an AI?

Considering how much she had to do with programming the game in the first place, it seems entirely possible that she personally created the base AI they’re using.

If there’s more than one base AI, rather than one with assorted tweaks layered over it, then it’s even possible that Tenka decided to use the specific one she made (or would that be A specific one that she made) to support the “get the Virus’s attention on Bandit” plan.

Just wanted to say this: I came back to this comic just now after four years and it is just as addictive as it was in 2011 when I first picked it up. The story has been in my mind the whole day and it’s so exciting to think of what comes next. Aneeka, I am really thankful you keep it going all this time and I wanted to congratulate you for everything you’ve achieved so far. You truly are an amazing storyteller and comic artist.
