Every day, in every way, i like this guy less and less.
That wink gives me unpleasant memories of a former roommate, a narcissistic nightmare....
Aw, c'mon. Nothing he said was untrue. He really is in a pretty tight spot, and you can't exactly blame him for trying to fast-talk his way out of it. What else has he got? I mean, what would you want him to do, just meekly submit to being hanged? Where's the fun in that?
Don't worry, I'm sure in the story to come he'll get his comeuppance one way or another. But, already, I'm finding him a lot more likeable than Verity when we first met her.
Verity is a jerk, albeit, as we find out eventually, a talented jerk. If it weren't for Harry, in fact, she'd have a really good claim to being the best hunter in the world. As it is, Vee has a really good claim to being the second best hunter in the world.
This fellow? He has a good claim to being runner up to Luxuria for the smarmiest entity in the world.
What first redeemed Vee in my eyes was how much she obviously cares about her little cousin Benji. It’s possible Will might come off better once we see him interacting with someone else.
Well, I, for myself, have noticed that she cares about Harry (even if in some specific way) and Henry Barber, before she joins the team. :)
> But, already, I'm finding him a lot more likeable than Verity when we first met her.
I share this feeling, but Verity was an antagonist at that time (and mean to Sid). :)
And Sharpe is a damsel in distress going to be hanged, there is some difference.
Still, Verity seems to have better connection with reality and instinct of self-preservation than Sharpe does. And she has conscience, something we don't know about Sharpe yet.
Ahh, rom-com incoming!
After weeks of searching they find the paper filed under "Q" for "Questionably Unethical Procedures".
"It wasn't really lost, one must simply understand or filing system. It's all rather easy actually. Unfortunately my intern is somewhat new, and I was on vacation when they were looking for that essay."
Personally, I think they'll find it behind the filing cabinet dedicated to hilariously bad essays.
For christsake, man, stop being so charmingly punchable. You're forcing me to grapple with the implications of "charmingly punchable" apparently being something it's possible for a person to be.
Maybe he's punchably charming?
Now, Vincent, think about that: if you make Sharpe free to be your guide, what will stop him from escaping for good and leaving you in trouble?
The old 'he overpowered me and escaped' story might solve everyone's problems.
How do you know that he intends to be the guide himself? Perhaps he intends to implant a spirit of knowledge in young Vincent's mind to act as a guide.
Even for that, they need to open the jail door.
Oh dear.
squees over McElroy reference
If you're tracking down an unsafe magical object, you need a bounty hunter. The best one in town went missing a month ago, but her assistant is still around, and he knows the University...
I think you are mistaken. Ms Cuningham made it back safely to Widdershins.
Shots fired. Take cover!
And her assistant is intimately familiar with the prison. If worse comes to worst, I'm sure she can help our young friend find a new and unexpected place to have his next breakfast.
Like I said, she knows the Lei of the land, so to speak.
i actually physically scrunched up my face at that pun, just fyi
That is how one knows a properly immature pun. ;D
It is a Verity bad pun, innit?
I live to serve.
...ah. Yes. That's truly how Harry gets back to Widdershins, isn't it? Can't find her anywhere, someone shouts that, she shows up immediately in a rage, all is well. :P

Is this really easier than telling your father you don't want to be a hangman?
Good question.
Buster Keaton disliked adapting farces because he felt if one character simply stood up and explained the issue, the entire plot would disappear Still managed to make Seven Chances entertaining as heck.....
If there is ever a stage production of Stoneface in your area go see ut if you like Keaton.
Admittedly a bit harder to do when you're in a silent film
Actually...farces were done all the time in silent films (heck, just about every genre, including Shakespeare). Slapstick lends itself very easily to farces, which relies on an increasingly frenzied pace. Keaton's issues were more with the story logic, or in his view, the lack of it.
Yeah, but the guy would still be hanged by the father then. He doesn't want that either.
I forsee no problems with this plan whatsoever.
No, none. It is perfectly sound in every way.
By the by, has anybody seen my flak jacket?
"It's okay to break people out of prison if you're trying to prove their innocence," he lied.
or, you could just hang the guy.
Just saying. There are options.
Ben knows his way around filing systems in general, but he didn’t go to Widdershins University, so he might not know much about this one in particular.
And THERE it is.
And you know who Knotty hasn't ever met before? /Also/ Ben.
Ahh yes, that's the ticket a guide. You now know the correct course of action. Simply file for a stay of execution pending appeal, then investigate the University. That should do it. If you were actually his lawyer this would be likely be smooth sailing Knotty.
(The answer is not break him out of jail)
It's quite likely that he knows Sid or is at least aquauinted and he's certain to have heard some version of his involvment in the recent crisis alongside bounty hunters and divers adventurers...
...but this is a very strange prison with lamentable security so perhaps he is merely proposing an evening, er, escapade after all.
Careful, Mr. Knott. That man is a spoon-bender!
I hope he’s smart enough to not let him out, but I know that’s not going to happen >-<
Queue "my old roomate/buddy is in town"? Then again, he seems like he might prefer a personal touch.
I think this young man needs a skilled private eye and her plucky sidekicks. (Yes, I count both Sid and Gren as sidekicks.)
Alas, this private eye at the moment is somewhere among maori... If I am not mistaken.
D'oh, you're right. How on earth did I forget that?
Fear not! Verity Cunningham is (not) on the case! :dramatic pointing:
This is the dumbest idea. Ever.
