Dropped his phone.

Shouldn't have dawdled inside the Silver Wood, Ssael was very clear on that point
Ashley
Ahahaha :D Duane'll recognise it as Boo on the next page but yeah, Murkoph pooped out all his happy memories long ago :)
Josh
I didn't think about how it was Boo till I saw other people saying it; I was gonna say "is that this bastard's one happy memory and it gets bummed out having to hang out with all the mental snuff films all the time?"
Mek
Oh she's just another memory.
Ashley
Good insight~

I’m starting to think Murkoph isn’t human and never was. Maybe he’s wearing the face of a man who was once named Murkoph? But whatever is wearing that face, it’s something else. There’s just something about the way he talks here… and the way he’s historically liked collecting odd bits and baubles from other memories, like the dog fangs for teeth and the pants he stole elsewhere. But where’d those red eyes come from, I wonder? I think they might be original.
Ashley
Murkoph? Murkoph's not a memory ghost, so he isn't toooo terribly afraid of Sette's claws. Even so, Sette's not here right now :)
Mek
Uh. Can't sette do a shitload of damage to him if she touches him? Does he know he's vulnerable to claw hands?

Thanks for replying! I meant it more in the sense of "does khert even have linear time for people that aren't currently together" Though I guess the answer is yes, given your response.
Ashley
I've tried to keep it reasonably synced. Sette took a little nap after Jac licked her hands, so we have some extra time to work with. If Duane hurries, he might get back to her before Sessine excapes and ends the world. Maybe!
Flyfly
Now that I think of it, is Duane actually in a hurry? I realise now I am not sure how exactly khert-time works. Does spending time memory-gazing actually put Sette into more danger?.. Or are those events disconnected timeline wise if Duane and Sette are separated?
Ashley
Not a bad casting choice at all.
Ashley
To keep him sane, more than "in check." But that does help keep him in check since he can't control himself without that help. Murk calls his insanity "confoundments." We'll learn more about him and what that even means in the future.
Tobias
Am I understanding this correctly: she stuffed Murkoph full of silver in order to keep him in check? "Confoundment" meaning his mental state?
Todd Tarsi
Huh, Murkoph and Duane have matching face scratches.
astine
Clever way to keep Duane out of the way

BOO!!! Sette's gang, time to rescue that boss 👏👏👏
Michael Stakely
No wonder Murkoph wanted out of the khert so badly; he's a food critic press-ganged into reviewing operas.

I’m the only who thinks Murkoph “sounds” like Robert Shaw, aren’t I? (Google “Quint Jaws Indianapolis speech” and bask in the goodness.)
Luuuuuuu
That was his first mistake. He shoulda stayed tough and fierce!
Ben Dennard
I knew Boo couldn’t have truly been gone so soon after showing us how adorable he really was.
Luuuuuuu
'Sette who?'

New! Boo Chew! Coming to a cosmic aether near you!
