on Recent Updates (assume spoilers in comments?)

Hrm, nothing has changed for myself, Mundane. Though it does seem as if recent events have made me come to the forefront of your attention again. Perhaps this time I may be so fortunate as to sustain it?

In any case, I take it you will have to wait and see what happens before making plans. No matter, I am perfectly capable of waiting a bit longer.

I'd just like to voice a protest in the strongest possible terms as to the events that have occurred here. Although I'm pretty sure we all know it's going to backfire hilariously.

Time will tell the consequences of my actions, good, bad or comedic. But would you have preferred I left your companion fully deceased?

I'd really have to say, "not deceased at all". Though I reluctantly have to give you credit for finding a way to to kill someone without the afterlife angle getting belabored again.

True, instead of needing to be resurrected, he will be reborn. But I believe the conception of being undead is often misunderstood and taken as worse news than it truly is. There is no need to fret, he is one of my family now - I will be much more careful protecting my kin this time.

Except we still need him. I won't belabor the point of how weird it is to say that.

Ah. Unfortunately, on that note we are at an impasse. We are for the moment working towards opposing goals.

It seems you are comfortable with your true nature. Some may need reconciliations... rationalizations. I would sooner be hated for what I am than liked for some false interpretation of my actions.

Hmn.

Perhaps you ought to be more bold, and sustain your mundane's attention that way.

An admirable position to have. Hm, you are correct, though. Others may think what they like about my state of being.

How would you suggest I be "more bold"?

Unfortunately the means to perfectly control minds is only theoretical, at this stage. [pause] Bodies, however, are within my purview.

I grant you, it isn't easy without a wealth of - I believe they are called "fanworks"...

Let me guess - you are more of a warrior or barbarian then sorcerer?

Oh of course. I have no doubt my mundane is already fussing about creating some of those.

Sorcerer. [oh gosh this is said like "pop star"] ...No, I am a warlord. We all must play to our strengths.

Hm. Good. [pause] How often does your "canon" update?

Oh my, a distinguished occupation. [ His best buddy is a warlord, he's approving. ] I myself am a religious leader.

The strip has a... casual update policy. I am afraid only one person knows when it will continue on, and his lips are tightly shut.
