MST3KFan was the only one who guessed what was on the paper correctly ('chains', 'curse' and 'Alvonce' would have all worked as keywords)! XD; Please request a free character sketch, MST3K :D Thank you for playing, everyone!
Alright, that's the end of the chap-- huh? Oh, wait. There's one more page left for this chapter! XD; After that, I'll be taking a two-week break before the start of chapter six~
I asked Cici-muffin to help me out with drawing something specifically for this strip. XD;
;D (You'll want to leave your mouse over this image for a few seconds, by the way...)
(but in all seriousness I'm sorry if this development has you tearing your hair out XD)
To balance this out, I am also posting the fantastic potato art of Madou the lovely Spellu drew a while ago, but I felt it was appropriate to save for this moment XD
XDDD
Btw, I also have a super cute doodle from Cici-muffin again. I got to request art from her a lot this week (XD) and got this when I asked for one of Dust and Cain hanging out:
XD Thank you Cici-muffin for wonderful and motivating me throughout the week with your loving talent <3!
If you didn't catch the crossover pic SF got for the Pirate Prom Crossover Exchange, check it out here 'cause it's super cute! X3
And that's a wrap for today's update. Wow, that's a lot. XD; I am so blessed, thank you so much guys ;__;* <333 I'm so happy to have such awesome readers!
Promising exactly what cain wants, not suspicious at all ( Great update btw, always love seeing the wide range of emotions you can draw :D )
Still rather have him as a stalker then close by as a supposed ally, worst case when they restock and wake kylie up they can kick his ass to the curb then =p
They went from mad and suspicious of a guy who tried to kill them, magically into to weirded out staring at some sort of a creep within 1 page like well i guess we HAVE to take him along. They seem to be treating it more like the guy kept flirting with the party rather then just tried to murder them. And now hes joining >>
It's actually a lot more suspicious if you think about whether Madou is telling the truth or not, regarding whether he was responsible for Alvonce's death or not. How did he get his hands on the research otherwise? Hmm.
The party's opinion at this point is along the lines of, if we can't chase the wasp out of this room, might as well keep it somewhere we can actually see it.
Im the last person you need to convince that madou is suspicious as hell :D Id still rather kill the wasp at my earliest convenience instead of giving him time to build a nest, but i suppose for now well see what happens!
Oh god.. those rules. FF4 as a kid scarred me after you kill the fake king and you have Cid enter the party. Was like.. hmmm we have 6 people here wonder whats up.. OH SHIT NOOOO!!!! RiP Palom / Porom ;_;
Ahahaha, he could always brandish his secret service license another day XD
Even if Kylie does, she won't don it again. :P Kylie's armour design changes every chapter because she follows the traditional JRPG rule of changing armour every new location they visit. XD;
Welp, they're stuck with him it seems no matter what. XD
And I won the guessing game? XD Woo-hoo! Um... Kay...
Well, you did an awesome piece with Charlotte way back in the Valentine's Day Exchange... I think it'd be cool to see a sketch of maybe Sheryl from POW! Right in the Nostalgia.
On that note dose Madou know what happened to Cain and why Ren was so angry? Despite both of them supposably knowing what happened there seemed to be a big dissconet. (Part of me still wonders if Cain will become evil when he gets his chains off. XD)
Yep! Well, something about curse breaking anyway... ;)
I can't say exactly how much Madou knows, but I will say that he knows enough to understand why Ren and Cain haven't been getting off the right foot so far.
True. And he was being a creepier up in that tree watching there last intimate moment at the inn so I guess he could have planed on helping Cain to get to Kylie... Maybe.
And even without them possibly being useful, he probably simply wanted to keep them from Abel.
I mean... By now it should be obvious that he's at least partially been working against Abel for quite a while now. If not the very start.
Gonna stalk you anyways.. omg, he's just getting better and better :D
(and he proved before to be pretty good at stalking, so better accept the offer ;D)
AHAHAHA that line made you like him more?? XDDD Oh, Saari-nii. XDDD <3
Technically, the party doesn't know that Madou's been tailing them for a while now... >__> (wait 'till they find out hahaha they are gonna find him so creepy)
This pleases me!! I'm looking forward to seeing Madou's dynamics with the group XDD-- I have a feeling there's gonna be some good laughs XD (but i'm also dreading a certain thing coming up next chapter don'tthinkIforgotwhatyoutoldmealongtimeagoI'vebeendreadingiteversince!!)
Hahha butseriously great page and great chapter. I'm intrigued by this growing possibility that Cain can get his curse removed! Abel.. that insane little membrane will surely be PIIIISSED if he finds out Madou stole that and gave it to Cain. But then..it could all be PARTOFTHEPLAN TOO! D:
Well now I'm concerned XD

I feel like Madou's nose is somehow sharper/pointer than everyone else's.
This was such a great
intense o_Ochapter I'm sad it's (nearly) over but I'm soooooooooooooo excited for the next one! <3And thankyew! ;w;* I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! The next chapter is prooobably a little less intense. I think. Maybe. XD;;
That said, SF has strong MMORPG influences, and there is a much larger limit to how many people are in a party in that system. ;)
Gah, no secret service license... :(
Package deal indeed ^_^
*lol* @alt text :D
Edit: I hope Kylie will now get her armor back...
Even if Kylie does, she won't don it again. :P Kylie's armour design changes every chapter because she follows the traditional JRPG rule of changing armour every new location they visit. XD;

And sure! I'll send it to ya whenever it's done! X3
Sheryl so purdy XD; hope you like the sketch! Thanks for playing! XD;

Cain and Dust hanging out... to dry! XD
And omg, you took the pun one step further :'D lololol
On that note dose Madou know what happened to Cain and why Ren was so angry? Despite both of them supposably knowing what happened there seemed to be a big dissconet. (Part of me still wonders if Cain will become evil when he gets his chains off. XD)
I can't say exactly how much Madou knows, but I will say that he knows enough to understand why Ren and Cain haven't been getting off the right foot so far.
good grief.
"Curse breaker, curse breaker, break me a curse..."
;-)
(Cain is not a bad singer though)
(That fanart! Yes! Realize Madous greatness! Dat potato...!)
(Omg I just realized it was a gif thats amazing)
Ahhhhh! So that's what he has. Perfect! He's such a great guy.:D
"Package deal"...Heeeheee.
HAHAHA that stalking line! YES! YES! MADOU IN THE PARTY
YES
I'm so excited for the next chapter. The wait will be hard, but I know it'll be worth it :'D
And yes, MADOU IN THE PARTY~~ most of you guys called it ages ago XD;
And thank you seamuffin always, for reading SF, leaving wonderful comments and just being generally awesome and supportive ;w;* <333 *hug*
... unless he DID! He had this whole party dynamic planned from the very beginning o__o CONSPIRACY!!!
I mean... By now it should be obvious that he's at least partially been working against Abel for quite a while now. If not the very start.
You'll notice that Madou says he'll give Cain the relevant papers only... ;D
But yes, it's always a possibility that Madou had this all planned from the very start :P a man of contingency plans, perhaps?
(and he proved before to be pretty good at stalking, so better accept the offer ;D)
Technically, the party doesn't know that Madou's been tailing them for a while now... >__> (wait 'till they find out hahaha they are gonna find him so creepy)
"I have the solution to your problem but will only give it to you if..." Does that count as a bribe or as blackmail?
I don't trust overly friendly creeps...
Cain might ask about that later... we'll see ;)
Hahha butseriously great page and great chapter. I'm intrigued by this growing possibility that Cain can get his curse removed! Abel.. that insane little membrane will surely be PIIIISSED if he finds out Madou stole that and gave it to Cain. But then..it could all be PARTOFTHEPLAN TOO! D:
Well now I'm concerned XD
Thanks so much for always being so super supportive Serpy-kins~!! ;3;* <333 I am super happy you've enjoyed the chapter! *hug*
Hmmm. I think the next chapter will make it more clear just what Madou is up to, though... I can't say how clear it'll get XD lolol
... Well...I think Madou's cute... Hehe.
(And sorry you didn't win :P)
Oh, lolol that sketch! xD <3
