Seeker of Thrones 4-23
Chapter: 4
“Deep in Sanctum there is said to dwell a kind of monster, a basilisk of sorts. One look at it is said to drive men mad, not because its visage is especially horrifying, but because its flesh is a kind of mirror, and in it a man sees his true and full measure for the first time.”
-Peroxes
Back to business.
Oh, you again. Big fan of your song “Drive” which you made all by yourself. Now please get back into the wall.
“Yes, we do. Lets start by you putting on a shirt.”
Manly nipple piercings.
MANLY NIPPLE PIERCINGS!
This seems to be rather a fashion on Throne, too, seeing how Yabalchoath’s boyfriend had them as well.
A peculiar sort of paired ley stones designed to channel the use of The Art into increasing the pleasure of certain sensual activities.
WELP. That was unexpected. Wonder what his angle is?
Right angle.
90 degrees, apparently.
Looks to be about 90 degrees
About ninety degrees, I’d say.
At a glance, I’d say 90º XD
“The impression, however produced, was that this creature had reverence to some horizontal, to some whole system of directions, based outside the earth, and that its mere presence imposed that alien system on me…”

Somehow I get the feeling Alison’s going to find out the hard way where all the demiurges stand regarding her and her mission to install the heir upon the throne. 2 are clearly in opposition to it, and this guy is just a(n obnoxious) mystery
Physical needs preoccupy, unfortunately.
Where’s the Joy without suffering, though?
Cobain and Siddartha can wait.
So, what’s he up to this time?
Gaze upon your kingdom, AL-YIS-UN. It is all yours for the taking.
Incubus appears to have sprung a leak.
More meddling mortals mucking multitudes of manipulations
It would seem that there is a veritable queue of mentor figures for our Rising King.
There is a veritable queue of sycophants who think they can avoid death and the consequences of the Second Conquest by endearing themselves to AL-YIS-UN. They hasten their own destruction by teaching her.
Ahem…
Cio: You, sir, should remove your pants.
Stranger: Indeed?
Allison: Indeed, it’s time. We have all laid aside modesty but you.
Stranger: I… wear no pants.
Cio: (Terrified, aside to Allison.) No pants? No pants!
This is some quality parody, brothersister!
…from “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, by Robert W. Chambers.
When we were focussing on Mottom I just wanted more Mottom. When I saw Mammon on the cover of this Chapter I couldn’t wait to see his back story and character. Now Incubus and I don’t want him to leave. Your heroes are great but your villains amazing so rich deep and compelling.
Is it just me, or is Incubus packing a bulge in his pants.
Stupid sexy David Bowie.
Er… now that you point it out.
I’m not sure if this is what the artist is goign for, but I’m getting more of a Depends/Roll-of-socks thing than a David-Bowie-as-Goblin-King.
Lift up your head, wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face clean as the mornin’
I know things were bad but now they’re okay
Suddenly Incubus is standing beside you
You don’t need no makeup, don’t have to pretend
Suddenly Incubus, is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Incubus’s your friend
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, mamma was poor
I’d meet a man and I’d follow him blindly
He’d snap his fingers, me, I’d say, “Sure”
Suddenly, Incubus is standing beside me
He don’t give me orders, he don’t condescend
Suddenly, Incubus is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Incubus’s my friend
Tell me this feeling lasts till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it’s still strange and frightening
For losers like I’ve been it’s so hard to say
Suddenly, Incubus
Suddenly, Incubus
He purified me
He purified you
Suddenly, Incubus
Suddenly, Incubus
Showed me I can
Yes, you can
Learn how to be more
The girl that’s inside me
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Incubus’s my man
I would not care to see my true self.
Although Truth is a name that I could wear, it is one I’ve shied away from.
Regarding Truth, I prefer to be Timid.
Sabreur: “Wonder what his angle is?”
90 degrees or so, I would say.
Beware young heir! For it is always the powerfully beautiful who are the most dangerous in the wheel.
Seven times, seven lines.
Sunset wounds, sidelong attractions.
See yourself as you truly are.
Does Incubus have any music that plays whenever he pops into existence like that? Maybe something in the background, super swanky? Maybe this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLmzOGftlI
I was thinking more something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6lQzmluDdc
Incubi…..in the Middle Ages their existence was recognized by law as an evil spirit believed to have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep. So he’s like Freddy Kruger….Unless he’s one of those dicks that ‘doesn’t do virgins because virgins are no fun/are so damn needy/so damn clingy/too much of a ‘responsibility’/too much of a hassle’ or whatever bullshit slur/derogatory commentary dicks such as those feel the need to spew.
The Lord of light brings the deepest shadows to bear.
His servants are good tippers, though. Usually.
Incubus is Kakashi, he has “Make-Out Paradise” in his pocket!
Yeah I was wondering where Slaneesh have gone.
Off celebrating Slaaneshmas for the past two weeks, spreading holiday cheer and kindness to all the precious little humans and death to all the disgusting xenos. SO THAT THE HUMAN AGONY THAT SLAANESH WILL INEVITABLY TASTE LATER ON IS ALL THE MORE DELICIOUS!!!!
Same place as me.
Always watching.
TBH I’d say Mottom fits better as Slaanesh since she is lliterally dependent on decadent riches and stopping for one second would kill her.
