I’m guessing it would be more akin to keeping him OUT than IN. The topology around such large quantities of Blue Glass is rarely what it appears to be.
We would perhaps suspect that the Himself is perhaps caged less in a sense that he is ‘there’ inside of it, than perhaps the cage is about Himself’s entry into Throne… If merely a formality he follows for his own amusement.
No way. The Destroyers were brought forth by humans after the demise of the Multiplicity. Whatever the Red-Eyed King was, it definitely wasn’t a devil.
Well, a spiky chained up sarcophagus in an void office seems like a cool place to hang out. Dunno why Cio is so unimpressed…is the tea tepid, or something?
Cio got her ass kicked by her former buddies, and then rescued by the power-crazed Royal Brat (from her point of view). She’s no longer in control of the situation. Damn right she ain’t happy!
I’m not sure if I want to see inside the sarcophagus now. Also, I would like an office as lovely as this. Maybe a little less reflective black nothingness.
Well. I guess that if you’re in a coffin with a dozen swords stuck in your flesh you’re in no position to open drawers or write memos. The guests will simply have to do that for themselves, in the presence of HIMSELF.
Like a cool refreshing breeze on a sweltering day you end our torment with a new page…
I must admit I also was pining for the next installment. Tis indeed a great relief to have it.

Like a cool refreshing breeze on a hot day, finally a new page…
Does the cage keep him in, or does it keep everyone else out?
Yes.
I’m guessing it would be more akin to keeping him OUT than IN. The topology around such large quantities of Blue Glass is rarely what it appears to be.
Would you mean that as to say keeping him out of our existence as much as possible?
We would perhaps suspect that the Himself is perhaps caged less in a sense that he is ‘there’ inside of it, than perhaps the cage is about Himself’s entry into Throne… If merely a formality he follows for his own amusement.
Perhaps it is his own mask.
how sartean
Yes
Also; neither. But in practice yes.
“Wellly well well.”
“WELL.”
“well? well.”
it continues like this for several pages with different angles of the coffin.
As you can see….Im in a well
Spoiler warning please!
I’m almost hoping to see that, if only for the occasional reaction shot from the girls.
Sadly, I have a feeling plot is about to happen, not humorous “Welling”
“WELL WELL WELL.
WELLY WELL WELL.
WELL WELLY WELL WELL, WELL WELL WELLY.
…
AND NOW YOU’RE GOING TO DIE.”
I do wish I could show my appreciation for comments like these without having to leave my shadowy lair and speak.
I still say he’s the red-eyed guy Pree Ashma fell in love with.
No way. The Destroyers were brought forth by humans after the demise of the Multiplicity. Whatever the Red-Eyed King was, it definitely wasn’t a devil.
This is definitely HIMSELF A.K.A. the Red-Eyed King.
Ergo, he is not a devil, but something far worse.
Well, a spiky chained up sarcophagus in an void office seems like a cool place to hang out. Dunno why Cio is so unimpressed…is the tea tepid, or something?
I theorize that she didn’t part with daddy dearest on the best of terms
She still hasn’t been reimbursed for her broken glasses. Goddamn savages.
Cio got her ass kicked by her former buddies, and then rescued by the power-crazed Royal Brat (from her point of view). She’s no longer in control of the situation. Damn right she ain’t happy!
I must say, the furnishings are not at all what I expected for the dread lord of the underworld.
I’m not entirely sure what use he gets out of those books, for example.
Jolly’s, I’d imagine.
The most dangerous place in all creation can afford refreshments.
He does love his formalities.
It’s a set piece, a location suited to their expectations, and especially Allison’s.
You’ve never heard of Gordon Gekko?
Cio looks like she’s just having a FABULOUS time.
For someone who is a concentration of pure evil, he sure does have a dapper office.
Chaos is not evil, but for a lawman like you, there’s no meaningful difference.
Evil is well organized.
Exactly.
The rising king took her jacket and scarf off. That’s how you know this meeting is serious business.
Himself… has an office. And paperwork. And tea.
…
I’m not sure if I want to see inside the sarcophagus now. Also, I would like an office as lovely as this. Maybe a little less reflective black nothingness.
If the swords fixed into it, and the leaked gore, are any indication, we do not want to see inside, I think…
You can see what’s in the prison by going to the very edge of the void and looking at the roiling Black Flame eating it away.
Except it’s a bit less coherent.
Business meeting. Serious business.
To quote Flight of the Concords, “It’s Business Time”.
*pulls up a chair, too* Dis gon’ be good!
The furniture may be a formality but there are freaking teacups! This world doesn’t cut any slack when teacups are involved…
The teacups are making sure Himself doesn’t come out of his cage.
Even Himself is no match to the teacups power.
I didn’t know i wanted this.
We expected the visit
to be some way this isn’t
and it’s truly exquisite
Oh my this is more of himself i’ve seen in my lifetime than hundreds of angles in several.
Does it say more about me or about Himself that I want this exact office?
Yes.
this can only go swimmingly. what do they say, out of the frying pan, into the slow-cooking baleful flames of continued mistakes?
Himself has very nice taste in decor.
Agreed. Very tasteful. A pleasant little desk.
Is that clock keeping time or counting down? and what exactly is it keeping the time of or counting down to?
His escape.
No humidor? Psh. Clod.
The coat rack is a nice touch – and note that the desk is set up for the guests as though they were administrators
Why is Himself on the supplicant’s side of the desk though?
Well. I guess that if you’re in a coffin with a dozen swords stuck in your flesh you’re in no position to open drawers or write memos. The guests will simply have to do that for themselves, in the presence of HIMSELF.
Like a dream…
Notice that Himself doesnt reflect on the floor like everything else…
