...Eliza may have some bruised ribs
she does! i did that to mine on a particularly nasty tree root once and can confirm that is it Not Fun
It’s like that margarine called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter,” only more like “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Broken!” Seconded with a grimace.
Especially, in my own experience, when your friends maliciously try to make you laugh.
Bricks levitating their way out of pillars, hmm, Health and Safety aren't going to like that!
Oh no! They're in Castle Heterodyne!
Is the boilerghast just a wizard who got lost in the depths of the university?
Clearly someone needs to correct the lack of Widdershins/Girl Genius crossover fic.
Rule 35 on you!
Sadly, I have come up with zero crossover fics, smut or otherwise. If you find some (or write some!), point us all in that direction, please.
Well, I write Heterodyne stories and Widdershins fanfic, so maybe I should try something. I'm sure it will be just as popular as my Widdershins / Sombulus crossover (it sounded like a good idea at the time).
It’s true, you may only be writing for the handful of us that dearly love both, but I at least would be most appreciative. :)
I think most of us who write fanfic have written at least one thing that sounded amazing...in theory...
The Heterodyne Boys and the Search for the Fourth Anchor
Well, that's the point of Rule 35. Rule 34 says if you can thinking it, there's porn of it. Rule 35 says if there isn't currently porn of it, it's on you to make porn of it.
I'll have you know all my fanfics are highly respectable! All right, there may be the odd scene with explicit hand-holding.
Maybe they're the elevators out of there. Grab one and up you go.
This...is where Tetris blocks go to die.
_Columns_ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columns_(video_game)") (video game) too! >:=)>
Huh, interesting. It seems physics is taking a more relaxed stance here than usual.
A wizard (or... more likely a witch?) did it!
I'm pretty sure it's just the fact that it's the underside of an institution of learning and experimentation of magic.
Oof, they are really down on their luck here. Hopefully things don't go more bottoms up for them ^^;
That said, I'm really hoping to see O'Malley to come out of the shadows and tell them to keep off magical lawn property XD
Boo!
Are you quite sure you aren't dead and are now a magically-created ghost?
i mean, can any of us say no to that one for definite
As we've learned from Wilde Life this month, you can't even count corporeal substance as a safe bet!
Indeed, so the real question is, is that grasshopper alive?
I've been wondering, but I'm scared of the answer.
If I am a ghost. why do I keep putting on weight and getting older?
Your body just refuses to accept your actual ghostly status? :P
...and all those ectoplasm pies probably don't help.
It would sure make my life a hell of a lot simpler.
WILL BABYYYY
looks like he's feeling extra useless just now :( Hopefully Eliza will whip some character development into him, so he can turn into an action hero and rescue Knotty at the last minute :P
Nah....that's Eliza's job.
Plus Rana and probably Sharpe again.
I'm a little surprised that Eliza, as an apothecary, is this vague about what to do for a broken arm, but I suppose she deals with medicines rather than physical treatments.
Knowing how to treat stuff is for doctors, while going around actually treating stuff like that will result in people mistaking you for a, urgh, surgeon, those barber-butchers.
Yeah, she could prescribe Will something for the pain, but not deal with the actual broken bone.
OK - why is it so clean?
Given a a handy 'bottomless' pit I know I'd be chucking all sorts of stuff down and I can't believe that housekeeping don't sweep stuff into it to save unsightly bulges under the carpets. I wouldn't have been surprised to see them land on a huge heap of gently rotting detritus - but perfectly clean stone floor? Nah, there's something fishy about this.
Given that the chunks taken out of the pillars look rather like bite marks in that last panel, I'm worried too.
You can do both a splint and a sling at the same time Eliza! No need to choose!
Eliiiiza, you've got some splintin' to do !!!
I wish I'd been drinking coffee so I could have choked on it.
Talking entirely in questions, are we?
Yeah. Maybe, it's the influence of that place?
Or maybe it's the concussion talking?
Could be, but who's to say?
I DON'T KNOW
"Where's Knotty?"
I dunno, maybe he just didn't fall down the hole with you.
Anyway, from that height (unknown but very very high onto hard floor) I would agree about magical shenanigans otherwise broken arms aren't on the top 10 list of things you would have to worry about.
Ooohhh ... creepy magickal mists swirling around them.
At first I thought Sharpe was blushing, but no, he just fell on his face :(
