Hey guys, thanks for your patience - here's the late update! Happy Tuesday. :)
This is a new skill Kylie is using, by the way. Solid Advance (a finishing blow skill) requires Kylie to use Solid Stance (vitality boosting focus), first. She only just learnt it shortly before coming into Jem Citadel, so I'm sure she's quite proud to show it off here XD
I'm horrendously behind on comments, emails, forum posts and whatnot. I'm also - as you have noticed - behind on paging. I'm down with a viral infection but it's getting better (I think) - but I think I probably need a bit more time to recover.
So I'm sorry, but this will be a one-update-week as I try to pull myself together and catch up on the things I'm behind on; the next update will come on Monday, 10th April. Thanks for your understanding!
LOL she squashed dat girl like a little bug!!! YESSSS KYLIE! :D :D
I've been fangirling over Kylie like every update the past few weeks x"D. Someone fan me..
Aw Rufiii I'm sorry your sick! Please take care of yourself and don't worry about one update week! Just makes the next update all the sweeter! <3
@Serpy: I really, really love your fangirling over Kylie, just saying XD <333
Also, I see you have enthroned yourself somewhere in this comment section with sigpig waving palm fronds by your side while DLK demands grapes on your behalf XD well, well, well... I don't mind, just don't forget to feed them once in a while ;D
Hopefully Kylie gets some time to rest between fights. Otherwise, I get the feeling she might become too weak to continue to pull off upsets like this.
Typical trouble of fighting in a tournament. You've got to invest enough power in a fight to win it, yet must conserve as much as possible for the following rounds.
And if you put too few power into a fight, you might lose it and all conserving was for naught. Or you don't win it as quickly as you could and end up using more power as if you'd have gone full power from the start.
It really is a tricky thing.
Not much Kylie could do about this fight though without revealing her true nature as a Lethian Knight.
@MST3K: She'll get the time all the other matches are happening to get some respite, though how long that will take will depend on the competence of the competitors involved there XD; you're right though, if she overdoes it, there isn't going to be much Kylie left in the fight by the time it might matter. >_>
haha, BAM! One hit KO! It's like when you're fighting a boss and you're like "yea, I'm not totally getting crushed!" And then their super attack hits and gets you in one shot and you can't even try to survive T__T
For the mental fatigue, does it compound into the next round? Or now that she's done using the status effect, she can start to recharge?
(Errr, so far I'm using 'Ardent Antibiotics!' and it's sort of doing the trick but I need a few more days I think to really get this out of my system :'D Thank you for rooting for me!)
All I can say is Poor Ring around the Rosie! ya gotta watch out for the Super Justice-Filled Wonderful Justifiably Magical Sword Glowies of Supreme Justice...
can we safely say that she was "Justly Juiced"?
(btw, everytime I look at Fatal Rose being laid out flat like that, my back hurts just thinking about how painful that must be!)
Well, that's a solid advance... into the next round!
And I've read that line of Kylie's with that dangerous kind of undertone and slowly rising voice in the word "range". It really befits her facial expression in that panel! :D
On another note: Purge that virus, rufi! Purge it with all your might!
Rufi, yes get well soon. People don't rest enough while they're sick and it makes the sick last longer. Its like the tournament go all out in your rest and you can win the battle quickest. Drink your soup and you're orange juice and give your body the resources it needs to become Champion once again.
Hey Just_IDD, dang, I never really thought about the tourney as a metaphor for webcomic-making but you're right... it works! XD;;;
I really rested a lot, but I think my immune system and stamina aren't the greatest (low stats, if you will). I probably should try to get more exercise in after I recover from this, more intentionally.
I have been drinking and eating all the things with meds :'D thank you for your encouragement, I will try to be CHAMPIONNNN
@Kattapuss, I like to think of this as a joint enterprise. We all come together to share our puns and our triumphs. There is no 'defeat', and (as is probably sadly apparent) no shame. ^_^ I am completely happy to share with all my brothers and sisters here in the Serpamia Flare Commentary Community most of the credit (and all of the blame ^_^) for whatever tidbits of amusement we come up with.
That having been said ... you have helped me realize that, if I were a Pokémon, which Pokémon I would be ...
@Gil:
You sure you wouldn't be a Pun-yta?
Lol then I guess... we are all a team of Pun-kémon masters?
(I'm sorry this is the best I can come up with I'm tired x'DD)
Hallo hallo! <333 Thank you for your kind words and for reading, megados! ;v;* I really appreciate it, and I hope you continue to enjoy what comes next!
(And thanks everyone for your kind endorsements T__T* <333)

Aw Rufiii I'm sorry your sick! Please take care of yourself and don't worry about one update week! Just makes the next update all the sweeter! <3
What! You SAID you wanted someone to fan you...
NOW I do! :D :D
Also, I see you have enthroned yourself somewhere in this comment section with sigpig waving palm fronds by your side while DLK demands grapes on your behalf XD well, well, well... I don't mind, just don't forget to feed them once in a while ;D
Go, Kylie!!!
(by the way love that fan-boy bubble...)
Oh, and happy belated birthday, Rufi <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Awww..., get well soon... *hugs*
And thanks very much for the well wishes ^^*
And if you put too few power into a fight, you might lose it and all conserving was for naught. Or you don't win it as quickly as you could and end up using more power as if you'd have gone full power from the start.
It really is a tricky thing.
Not much Kylie could do about this fight though without revealing her true nature as a Lethian Knight.
Kylie's been holding back on her Lethiace for a while now, so she's used to not having to use it. ;)
(I couldn't help it...)
(Also, I accidentally thought you meant 'Thanks for coming into range.' which brought up some other hilarious meanings XD)
For the mental fatigue, does it compound into the next round? Or now that she's done using the status effect, she can start to recharge?
As for the mental fatigue, it'll depend on Kylie's recovery rate, and how long the matches after hers take ;)
(Omg that little Knight K~ bubble, hahaah!)
(Ahaha I'm glad you noticed it XD <3)
And Kylie advances solidly with a Solid Advance.
(@rufiangel, what finishing technique will you use on your virus opponent? I know we are all rooting for you to advance to the next round. ^_^)
(Errr, so far I'm using 'Ardent Antibiotics!' and it's sort of doing the trick but I need a few more days I think to really get this out of my system :'D Thank you for rooting for me!)
can we safely say that she was "Justly Juiced"?
(btw, everytime I look at Fatal Rose being laid out flat like that, my back hurts just thinking about how painful that must be!)
And yes, poor Fatal Rose is going to be feeling that for a couple of days even after a good heal :'D
(This is a fantasy realm, after all, where being crushed in the skull by a broad blade still doesn't quite kill you XD)
I hope your feeling better soon!
And thank you, I do feel better compared to last week! :)
And I've read that line of Kylie's with that dangerous kind of undertone and slowly rising voice in the word "range". It really befits her facial expression in that panel! :D
On another note: Purge that virus, rufi! Purge it with all your might!
And oooh, I like that! <3 :D I do wonder if people hear Kylie's voice the same way I do?
Also, I am doing my utmost to purge this thing, I promise :'DDD it's being very clingy, though!
I hope Kylie's okay though...D: (well, y'know, relatively)
I hope you're okay too! Get better!
Kylie's definitely okay in relative speaking to Fatal Rose XD as for relative speaking to other less flattened people... we'll see on the next page ;)
And thank you, I do think I'm getting better on the whole! ;v;*
I really rested a lot, but I think my immune system and stamina aren't the greatest (low stats, if you will). I probably should try to get more exercise in after I recover from this, more intentionally.

That ended a mite faster than expected! I guess this one was a glass cannon!
I'm a little worried how she'll hold up depending on the number of fights she still has to go through, but I know you can do this, Kylie!!!
She's only got two more fights to go to reach the top of her block, assuming she wins her next one as well... ;)
"Just Ice Blast! Just Ice Flurry! Just Ice Storm! Just Ice Bolts!" Now _that_ would be cool!
JUST this once though!
I think we might need to upgrade the pun jar to a pun bucket... or a pun-pail?
What about a pun Vat? Vat would work very nicely! So, is it decided? Good, then Vat is Vat!
That having been said ... you have helped me realize that, if I were a Pokémon, which Pokémon I would be ...
... Jar-izard. ^_^
It's surprisingly effective...
(and in fairness, you are actually quite a bit better at it than I am, dude!)
You sure you wouldn't be a Pun-yta?
Lol then I guess... we are all a team of Pun-kémon masters?
(I'm sorry this is the best I can come up with I'm tired x'DD)

I'm on the road to recover, thankyew! <3
