He's never before thrown up a meal in the middle of an eel-infested khert-fire in such a way that his meal's own hallucination showed up for them both. Why, it's almost like being human. For a second, anyway.

Attacked the Darkness? Remember love is only a feeling.

Like that time I had my wisdom teeth out and thought my stomach was settled enough to handle a chocolate pudding cup. Nope!

Ruck gets to feel what it's like when all your emotions get caught in your throat and explode out of you! FUN!

It looks like cheetos and mountain dew. Ruck got too excited in a particularly nerdy RP session and attacked the darkness.

Oh, and gross. Let's not forget gross. ;-)

This is such a great example of an Unsounded page: Exciting and clever and dark and hilarious all at the same time. :-D

It's probably like-- have you ever been so lost in the sauce? Like you're eating something new and it's so good that you briefly forget everything except how good it tastes? I think it's like that.

Rob and Nate have it exactly :)

It happens to all of us, maybe you're a late bloomer.

Almost like being human? But... I'm human, and I've never thrown up a Roger. Not a whole one anyway.

Sonorie having the presence of mind to see that, be horrified, but still able to grab the little girl and book it, is peak "adult who has a job where shes seen some shit" energy. Compartmentalize that weirdness for your therapist later, just act!

As I understand it, Queen Sonorie saw a reflection of Roger's personality/memories/soul drifting about within Ruck, and got his attention and called to him and his regrets in the hopes this might distract/disrupt Ruck and give her a chance to save Chea and escape. This worked, Roger's emotions overwhelmed Ruck for a moment, and then the intensity of the whole experience caused Ruck to vomit up those memories, which are now interacting with Mallory.

I think Ashley explained it quite well : Ruck is carrying around Roger's soul (he wasn't allowed to digest it because the Black Tongues still wanted to study it), and apparently, when seeing Mallory (his former lover), it just had to pop out and say hi to him - which it can only do because of the Khert fire. As to why Mallory is there, I'm afraid this is another case of someone's worst memory showing up to torment them?

Remember kids, you are what you eat.

Haha oh yeah, I go through this at least twice a week. Standard human condition. Mostly I am just sad for Roger that even this dark shade of Mallory evokes such strong response in even the tortured shade of himself! I don't think I'm expecting the same bittersweet resolution Knock and Ana got >>a

For a second... until the Etalarche curse kicks in?

What on EARTH is happening?
Ashley
Ruck!
Inwoods
The words seem to be Rodger's, but are they coming from him or Ruck?

I like how that one little facearm went from trying to accept Mallory's offered hand as a reflex action to collecting that tear for Ruck.
