Glittering in the Formless Void, the warranty drifts
Its black flame sputtering out as its terms are violated
Oh! To have purchased the extension! To see its form hold for another age
But now, to the Palace of the Perfected Purchase one must go, and acquire a replacement.
That White Chain had to bluff Allison means she doesn’t know what she’s doing because it never crossed her mind that “walk away” might be the right move.
White Chain is fighting YISUN’s granddaughter and doesn’t realize just how overmatched she is.
Toshi the God of ascending love is frequently invoked by those in dire peril. Its mantra of ToshiToshiToshiToshi is chanted repeatedly by poor souls for whom things have gone badly off the track throughout the entire multiverse, often by those with no knowledge of its origin or purpose.
Cio is flashing back to the time she nearly killed Alison, and all the lovers and close friends that Yabalchoath murdered. It is not a calm moment for her, whatever she thinks of White Chain.
To bluff is to lie.
To lie is to cheat.
To cheat is to deny the truth, and seek to change it.
Understand this–some truth about truth can only be expressed by bluffing.
You know… I find it infinitely funny watching the comments between comics.
One day everybody hates white chain.
Next they love her.
one day they love Allison and Cio,
the next they harsh all over them.
Goddamit, Allicio, do you even know much t costs to repair an angel shell?
The warranty has been voided most exquisitely.

I love this and you should be proud of yourself.
Nicely done.

Worth it, don’t you agree?
This is the best thing.
Whoops I replied to the wrong thread. Sorry. You’re still the best though.
Heh, heh. Voided.
Looks like it did indeed b(l)uff out.
!
Agreed.
OHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
YES!! I love it!!
oh sh*t.

You sir win the internets.
BTW… it looks like both Allison and Cio are shocked by White Chain’s apparent demise. Allison I understand, but Cio? That’s a surprise.
“Captain! JIM!”
Cio is flashing back to the time she nearly killed Alison, and all the lovers and close friends that Yabalchoath murdered. It is not a calm moment for her, whatever she thinks of White Chain.
when you think you killed your friend but now she’s naked wyd
PERISH!
OH SHIT!
I’m so proud of white chain. She learned subterfuge.
White Chain lied to the doggie slavemaster in book 1. Does that not count as subterfuge?
Quick, citrus, on the action.
The hammer swings, the crimson faction
treat the walls this way, this track’s done.
Though the rind lay cold, pedantic,
Stinging vengeance, hot and frantic,
Violent end for violent antics.
So it is: axiomatic.
Allison was dangerously close to actually learning something.
This turn of events was foreshadowed by the suspicious lack of “angel-splosion” on the previous page.
I agree here on the suspicious lack of ‘angel-splosion’.
UNCHAINED
AND I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
Gastel Etzwane would eye you, hearing that.
Hrmm… Diamond Dave would approve. Maybe Salami Dave would too?
To bluff is to lie.

Understand this–some truth about truth can only be expressed by bluffing.
The wise sage plucks her eyes and says, “At last, I see”
The wiser sage sees this and says: “Lol, look at this dumbass tripping over everything!”
Intriguing.
Cheating angel…. Blasphemy!
Blaspheme your … what?
“I bluffed!
And now that we have both learned important lessons about cheating, learning, and the nature of violence, let us fight no longer!
… you should still surrender and come home though.
(You know, given that all this was only meant to be a distraction gambit ANYWAY)”
Surrendering won’t do anything. White Chain is trying to KILL her so she can give the key to Allison’s ex-boyfriend whatshisface.
Is playing possum a bluff? More of a feint, I think.
So, a feint within a faint?
yes. donkey-punch your friend while they still think they killed you.
Hrmm… I think you won the internet today with that one.
Typical Angelic behaviour if you ask me
Good for White Chain, I guess?
[sets tea down]
[deep breath]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- [inhale] -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
…Clever girl.
You know… I find it infinitely funny watching the comments between comics.
One day everybody hates white chain.
Next they love her.
one day they love Allison and Cio,
the next they harsh all over them.
it is amusing.
maybe different readers who are louder depending on what happened
God fucking damnit, I just about lost my shit at that reveal. Easily among the best moments of the whole span so far.
DAAAAMN SON!
30 Cubits isn’t enough to take down the flame masked as White Chain. Maybe it needed to be 83 cubits?
Pummeling incoming.
Or break it apart into a shower of a billion tiny 3×10^-8 -cubit spears: a wide range of attack for a surprisingly wily target as White Chain.
