– Thulsa Drulle’s Daemoniac Maleficum
no fucking way
yes fucking way
no you
The holes in her hat do not look punctured, but made. Where did she procure it?
Also I fear the Devylish mirror-image of fanfiction. Truly a more horrifying thought I have yet to think.
There are plenty of demons in the City. Stands to reason there’d also be demon milliners.
Kill Six Demon Milliners
You sir/ma’am/other, are a gentleman/woman/being and a scholar. Spend this title wisely.
I think you meant to say ‘Kill Six Milliner Demons’.
A task that sounds simpler in number but just may be as difficult, if not more so.
Milliner are tricky business, best not to fight.
She used paper to kill people and you’re concerned about how she got holds in her hat?
Cio Cioelle Estrella von Maximus III ♥
Nice necklace.
Maximus: The colloquial-turned-formal name of the Estrella family’s ancestral landholdings. ‘Old’ money minor nobility.
Night Manager at a whore house sounds like a perfect job to spend writing fanfiction. Will the Patreon be linked in the top bar or the about/contact section?
I.. suppose that’s one thing you can call rewriting reality. Good to see Cio again. (With a very good hat.)
Think about it. You’ve got the numerous ancient texts of millenia past to work with and everyone gets bored with history pretty quickly in the first place. Servants and Angels don’t dabble in writing very much, if at all. On top of all that, the competition to reach kingly recognition for your work would result in huge battles between writers (as most competitions do in Throne, it seems). It makes so much sense, the only thing keeping me from feeling like a prize wololo is how off-the-wall it is to be a Devil fan-fiction writer that worked in a brothel.
Holding out the left hand to shake? Peculiar.
Not really, no (you dirty dexterist.) Sinistrism is a valid way of life.
She is a devil…
Finally!!!…back to my normal Wednesday routine.
Ummm,…what about the patronus thing where we can help fund this glorious diversion from our dreary lives?
It’s linked on the news post but not on the site yet weirdly, check his tumblr or the front page.

Thanks for your interest 😀
Signed up, keep it weird and beautiful.
“I’m a fanfiction writer.”
…I can honestly say I was not expecting that.
I was positive I read that wrong the first couple of times.
In this universe I guess it just means that she is into theology.
I think it likely that her being a ‘fanfiction writer’ is an error on the part of the translator demon Alison had to eat. Quite possible that whatever she actually is has no name equivalent in English, and for whatever reason that was the closest available.
If it’s the closest available, I guess that means she isn’t like the people from Myst who make linking books.
I don’t know why, but the first thing to pop into my head was the phrase “CioCio’s Bizarre Adventure.”
I think I need a drink.
BUT IT IS I, CIO!
One of God’s Editors, then. I knew I liked this one.
Aha! Hahaha..! Ha..? Bother me, most perplexing this is. Why is she speaking in such a normal way? Is it to do with the place they stand? Does blackest speech shine in understanding at the world of its birth? How odd. And a writer of fanfiction must have immense power in a world where lies and truths are one in the same.
Maybe she’s just less agitated than she was when there were angels and murderers running around every which way.
Or maybe the second phase of Blue Devil Liquor is better at colloquialisms.
All writing is fanfiction. An honourable trade, I must say. I partake in it myself.
A fan fiction writer…
How appropriate for her to be a demon from hell.
How is it that she can become even more my favorite?
What fan fiction does she write about? Seinfeld?
can someone explain Cio’s arms? in 3-40, she seems to have an extra arm (or two??). and here, it is clearly just the two. i am sure i am missing something…
She’s not even wearing a coat in this scene. That’s probably why. Maybe someone else has it now.
thats what i was thinking – i thought i saw a comment saying it was a ‘coat of arms’ – either it is a property of the coat, or like Krallna said, she is just hiding them.
She has four, and yet hides two.
This will be answered next page
Gonna be honest, Cio looks flippin’ adorable there.
I am really digging Cio’s style and choice of profession.
I am consistently enthralled with this divine daemonic world hub that is being slowly crafted here. To the creator, I nod in respect. Also of note I greatly appreciate the depth of detail in the beings at play in your tale. Finally it seems to me that Cio there has a wardrobe that nods toward fear and loathing in Las Vegas. I wonder how many other odd references might or might not coincidentally be in this tale.
And we just hit the 2 page a week goal so when will it be up?
Wednesday/Saturday next week, and then swapping to Tues/Fri the week after and thereon. I’ll make a post about it.
A humble suggestion: wait until your first payment to change schedules. If other Patreons have taught me anything, it’s that cards get declined and pledges mysteriously canceled around when it comes time to pay the piper; it’d be a shame if you commit to the aggressive schedule and then don’t get your due.
Thought this strip was older… binge read up too current… dying inside.
Been busy dorfing around and missed the update, so I’ll call this a birthday present, and glad to see the patreon doing well!

I am most pleased to see that Pree Allison’s jacket of choice evidently has regenerative properties, and is also on fire. It seems that she has a level head for traveling fashion, when she has the time to use it.
One might venture to say that she is Dressed to Kill.
If you watch closely you will see that her coat is just as ethereal as she is, and isn’t on fire as much as it is incoherent.
