And we come one step closer to the Light Warriors actually becoming the circus performers everyone else thinks they are.

One day, Fighter. One day.

Wow, I'm almost sure Fighter is Chaos now.

Wow, I'm almost sure Fighter is Chaos now.

Nah, all FOUR of them are chaos.

See what I would ask is where did he get a poster where the cannonball has star billing?

Quickman lol'd.
I really like that idea... they're seriously cut out for it.

Haha. BM seems kinda numb to Fighter's antics now.

Also, BM has a disturbingly blue armpit-pixel in the third panel. Fixit! I command it.

I suspect Fighter's brain doesn't follow premise and conclusions of whatever it's called at all. I mean previously I think he used to a little...but now?

I feel for BM. >_> I know a person who is alot like Fighter. >_>

Well the Human Cannonball usually gets top billing.

:-)

Must be a lousy trapeze act and lion tamer though.

Duh! Fighter is clearly a psychic. He using this moment to reveal his abilitites. It all makes perfect sense!

Unless he's made friends with a time traveller.

Isn't TWWDI a time traveler, I mean, he has that ability... And since certainly fighter percives him as friend... (becuase he's too stupid for any relationship to be more complex than either 'Friend' or 'Villian')

Well the Human Cannonball usually gets top billing.

Yeah, but BM didn't even rank as a human cannonball, no wonder he's a bit miffed. Otherwise, I bet he'd be all on board with Fighter's Circus.

Do-doo-do-do-dooty-doot-do-do... Do!

One day Fighter, one day...

Why's BM's armpit blue in the third panel? Also, first panel, blue pants? And if you're swimming naked through shards of glass you don't have the fun of stabbing something that isn't you or the glass.

"Every day with you is an adventure I never wanted. Like swimming naked through shards of glass"

That image is REALLY disturbing, and only partly because of the glass shards...

Wait, how long has this adventure been going on? Fighter says that they just met Red Mage and Thief.

Kurosen

12-23-2006, 01:24 PM

Relative to their whole lives, they've "just" met.

A few months in their time I think.

This would actually suprise me very little. Might explain some of Fighter's psychosis-like attributes; he's suffering from River Tam Syndrome.

If you go back and count the days and nights since the beginning of the comic, very few have actually passed. (Corneria and getting the LW job took one day; going to the ToF, beating Garland, and "rescuing" princess Sara took another; Prontera, Matoya, Pravoka, and getting to Elfland took another... they get a LOT done, despite thier incompetence.) I THINK it's been about a week and a half, maybe two. So, yes, they just met, according to thier perception of time.

I really laughed out loud at this one, thanks Brian!

You know, it takes just as many keystrokes to type "Sarda", and it's less confusing too!
And isn't the name of a forumer.

You fail to take into account the return trip from Elfland, and I'm sure there are other time-skips in the comic.

Well, if one wants a rough estimate of how many days have passed in 8-Bit, just count how many times BM has cast Hadoken.

"Where do you keep getting those posters?"

Um... since when has Fighter ever pulled a poster out from nowhere? This really doesn't ring a bell.

xravi

12-23-2006, 10:02 PM

Remember when they looked for the fire orb? And the time in the yeti cave? Yeah.

Mazyrian

12-23-2006, 10:25 PM

And the trip to the Castle of Ordeals took two weeks

Hehehe... that was great. I laughed out loud at this one. Fighter appears to be in top form. And I notice he's on the poster twice. ^_^

In terms of "lifelong", they did. :D

Wasn't that "KRAKANOID" thing a poster?

I like how BM isnt black mage, but "a cannonball"
pwahahaha

12-24-2006, 01:32 PM

So now I think they been on this quest for six months.

death_trooper

12-24-2006, 04:24 PM

I'd say around 4 months.
Taking all bets people!

PhasmaRok

12-24-2006, 05:01 PM

Five or six months sounds like a reasonable estimate, given the Elf-land and desert trips.

Ryong

12-24-2006, 05:49 PM

Yeah, five or six months.

hanzo66

12-24-2006, 11:10 PM

Though for us it's been like 4-5 years...

If when Sardia paused time to teach BM about caring counted, it's been over 700 years.

I recall Bikke imagining the other Dark Warriors as being pirates or something along those lines..

All time halting aside, I would say they have been at the mission for just under four months cause travel would take a few weeks each and they spend more time actually traveling more than they do in the location they were getting too.

That does not count.
