And here we go!

This is another piece commissioned by Shan, highlighting the sidereal friendship between our own Bishop and Typhan-knee, the protagonist of Exiern. It was produced by Marshall Reeves, who does the amazing comic YesterdayBound.

You can see the first one here.

(For reference, check out this page of Exiern.)

*Rushes off to look up sidereal in dictionary.*

Well, that's why he's a Professor, I guess.

I am a fan of words in general, and that one has a good feel. :)

Seems like half a lifetime ago! We'll be going Back to the Future (TM) in Exiern very soon, though. Like early next month, so get ready your Flux Capacitors!

"Have you ever killed anyone with a bowling pin?"

"What, is that a friggin' invitation?"

Don't be so squeamish, Bishop. You've killed people at close range with vastly disproportionate use of force (i.e. using a TOW to waste a mud hut).

Site downtime last night, most inconvenient.

I doubt Bishop is squeamish, just more worried about being stuck with a homicidal crazy person ... again.

@ Shan: Or that, too (see my response to lirv...)

@ lirv: I don't so much see actual squeamishness here. More of a comment on the logistics of a kill with said item...

Well, they are club-shaped, so the logistics may actually be not that... outlandish after all.

I love how Bishop mentions demons and Tona in one breath, as example for something/someone very terrifying. :-D

Professor Etheric 14th Aug 2019, 2:21 PM

I know, right? I mean, demons have nothing on Tona... :P

That's not how the feet should be during the delivery...

It's bowling from another dimension. They do things a bit differently there.
