...that evil grin on the last panel :D
Hasn't she heard that you never laugh at live dragons?
I'm afraid this one breathes something much grosser than fire
Boy, she's got things planned to a T, doesn't she?
Alexa to the rescue!
Crack-Theory: She's actually a spirit masquerading as a human as well.
Heh. Yeah, that did occur to me as well, except it'd have to be a very precise summons to move in right after the flour bomb went off -- and it needed to be vulnerable to the hypno-cake like a human, or at least able to fake such vulnerability convincingly enough to fool one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Quite a tall order...
I'm sorry, but trifles do amuse (the taste buds of) this human.
truffles?
Trifles.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifle "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifle")
Did you hear about the guy who made a trifle with rhubarb? He invented the repeating trifle!
Gotta hazard a guess: did Alexa write something in Rosie's cookbook that might appear on the outside?
Anyway, even though Gluttony has several pie-holes, it seems to have but one brain and touchy emotions (those,deadlies, so easily wrought up! Weak spot in the self control department ;D). How many places can it be at once, if Alexa keeps its attention?
So if the owner looked like Mephistopheles, Gluttony sure looks like Baal.
Just so long as he (she? it?) doesn't smell like Baal...
I don't know. To me it looks more like she completely dropped the Baal. In fact, things look like they're about to go Baals up for her.
If I were her, I'd take this opportunity to take my Baal and go home while things were still relatively on the Baal.
But hey, that's just the way the Baal bounces.
I think gluttony looks more like something from the Cthulhu mythos, like Azathoth or Abhoth or something.. Yog-Sothos, maybe?
Yog-Sothoth, is what I meant... *embarressed
Was the spirit summoned and took over, or did the spirit summon them and that's why they can't leave the circle?
THE PLOT THICKENS haha no swats self with a newspaper
So, if the whole hotel is in the circle, Rosie doesn't even have to be in the room to cast her summons! Pretty neat!
I am relieved...
I was starting to worry about where they would fine enough chalk!
I love panel 4- stern profile, eyes forwards, Alexa feels so in control she doesn't even spare a glance to check Nora's exit worked.
Angry villains who monologue; shooting themselves in the foot since communication was invented. :p
Actually, this isn't monologuing; this is Alexa tricking the spirit in giving her a bit of important information. Monologuing would be the villain going on and on in detail, nearly unprompted, about their plans.
One could argue that they were doing it before communication was invented too. The heroes just didn't know it because the monologue wasn't being communicated.
Oh boy, here comes the master stroke.
Just finished re-reading the archives of Widdershins. Just want to say, this is a really well done comic and a joy to view. I especially appreciate the word choice that goes into dialogue, it goes a long way for characterization (and scene setting, and foreshadowing). Looking forward to reading the rest!
Aw, thanks! What a lovely thing to say, I'm very glad you're enjoying it!
Bad. Ass.
De`ja vu again and again....
