so i'll admit that assuming incorporeal undead are immune to no. 9's infection is mostly wishful thinking on my part. but please understand that a contaminated ghost would be a VERY unfortunate thing. what was the exact series of events that caused Bennet to vacate himself from his host? lucas, you said that the plague seems like something off of level 4. did you have any experience working there? or at least clearance to view what was going on? does the bunker have an emergency phone? or computer? it might be advantageous to set up communications with upper levels.

move along nothing to see here

Red: Yang is quite nervous and skittish right now so try to keep the pressure light or he may want to run off.

Plague

Theres being pragmatic, and then there’s being a dick. The guys he was complaining about were just being dicks to him.

Plague

Yang: Just say yes. Say it for fuck's sakes.

BillBehr

Yang: I know there's a lot going on right now, but it looks like Red might be more into you than we initially thought! If you can avoid poking his eye out with that rather impressive endowment, you should probably try and tell him how you feel. After all, you're in a sticky situation right now and you don't want to get turned into a hot sex-crazed Orc or destroyed by an eldritch abomination while regretting all the things you could have said.

Myneghon

This is the scary part. We came across an eldritch being with unknown powers that even the scientists don't know what does. It wants to help get us out of this peril, but that's vague wording. Specifically, what do you want to do to get us out of this mess, heart? What are your abilities?

Newt

Golly Yang can be so cute when all flustered like that, it's kind of hilarious, but also poor Keth, he will really miss us once we're gone, as a little something for the little guy. for Keth: You silly Devil, you don't have to cry, we will still be here for a while, and then much longer in you as the memories of the little time we had together, as long as you don't forget us, we won't forget you, our beloved little Imp. And while speaking such, an "extra memory" we could make, is show him as a made up memory of happy times, our old minotaur form hugging him in his true small shape, kinda like a father hugging it's son, our big black wings from when we had such setting how strange the scene could be to anyone else... actually let anyone else near him at the moment both hear and see this too if possible, just so they know we truly mean it

Darkaos

Sydan: We can't afford to lose more time nor are we able to revert the Zorcs at this very moment! Everyone needs to reach the HEART before the Truthsayer, else your entire world will fall into a ruinous hellscape. One more thing... CONTROL YOURSELF! DON'T LET THE THIRST DRAIN RORO COMPLETELY! HEART: This might sound crazy but is it possible for you to cross Beyond The Screen through one of our PORTALS? This way you can help bestow our Monsters the nourishment they desperately need and prevent your sibling from causing anymore suffering with the powers he absorbed. Lucas: This Zorc pathogen behaves like a virus but it's much more problematic. The Fingers altered #9 in an attempt to bribe us Patrons thus unintentionally mutated the revenant's ability which seem to have tapped into the Morphogenetic Field instead of corpses like before. This is pure speculation but could beings that feed off chi or life force potentially rid or lessen the other changes brought about from the transformation? Maybe safely siphon out portions of the infection from the victim's life force without completely draining em.

Fe5ter

I don't know if you can include it but... I want to ask "Who is the 1903 airplane pilot wannabe?"

Cid

To the other Patrons: I'm very curious to hear what the heart has to say. But I'd also like to put forth an idea on how to protect it and the monsters. We could ask it to fuse with us the same way we were with the voices or the fingers. The Voice was able to command the fingers and eyes to lose themselves to it. However it has no such capacity to command us. If the heart has us as a bulwark, it may survive. To the scientists: Is it possible the virus is an extension of the FINGERS? We were able to break off pieces of ourselves to make literal flies on the wall before. If so, we probably need to recapture its power to reverse this. I.E. there's nothing you can do and you need to escape for now. To Monilius: Wow you're so knowledgeable about human culture and society. And so tactful with your powers! No wonder you were the Duke's #1. I dare say, if you allow us to work with you, I'm sure our group could overcome anything!

Roan

Monilius: Omg you're so cool, I wish we could have a spin off comic only about the stories of you and the demons influencing people. But tell us about you: is this your original form? Are you naturally this cute? A shame it seems like you can't lie yourself into a big tittied hunk like Keth? Wow it would be so impressive if you both were to put a muscle show for us patrons, if you wouldn't mind the attention we would give you, of course. Heart: Oh hey, you seem surprisingly non murderous for one of the eldritch power-body-parts. How do you feel about feeding Sydan, the Vampire grump we love so much? Sydan: Hey, thanks for all you're doing for everyone, even if you totally don't trust us, I really believe that without you to maintain order things would be much harder for everyone. And thanks for puking all that blood out, I know it probably was very unpleasant. Maybe consider opening up to someone sometime, you being an awesome leader doesn't mean you have to put a brave face 24/7. Keth: We love you, you cutiepie, give Monilius a hug for us, he deserves it for being such a cool person.

Hinner

they're all song titles ! i admit sometimes it's hard to pair them up with things that happen in the comic, but i try my best XD

Blazingcheeks

Cause we told them to rip out the speakers. Radio protectors.

innerDesign

OH AND UHHH, BlazingCheeks, how do you pick the name for each week's issue title? they're really cool, and sometimes I get what they mean, but not always. here it makes sense 'cuz we're the radio pretty much (right?).

Chuck : <i>Boo hoo, boo hoo</i>, ol skellybelly tinks we're an asshole... I TOLD yuh yew wern't gonna like hearing what I had to say. The truth is a tough pill to swallow, though it ain't no reason to turn inta mush, ya goof. Suppose it's my fault - guess I oughta've peppered my little truths with overwhelming compliments and niceties, seems like the only thing yer ever willing to listen to is someone kissing yer butt. But we ain't got time for that. Praise? You <i>really</i> tink that's what we're after?? What we want is for yew to drop dat bloody millstone of persecution complex you've been carrying around - the one that spurred yew to lead the charge o' our murder back on floor 2 and got everyone in a big hot mess, 'member?? How do yew tink we're gonna be able ta honestly work together if you go about telling yourself we elsaved ya? Crushed yer spirit? Not very good I can tell yah. You'll never be able to trust us, fully, if you keep around this <i>lingering resentment</i>, and in this situation that could be life or death. Oh, you got with Roro on your own just then?? Con-grad-u-lations bones, I'm doing a little golf clap for you right now. We weren't taking credit for that slick move you just pulled just before (which was, granted, pretty dang slick), but you know damn well that if it weren't fer us playing Cupid on the floors below yew wouldn't even have considered the possibility. I mean, you wouldn't even be alive right now but that's besides the point. You just don't get our perspective. There really is liberation in lack of choice. The strength of a good leader telling his soldiers what to do, the care of a mother ensuring her child grows up healthy, the passion of a lover giving his partner the most intense experience possible. There are books and books written on this stuff. We surrender freedom for pleasure everyday. Even the simple act of taking a sip beer liberates the control of sobriety from us. Call us a jabroni, macaroni, whatever. I'm not asking yah to appreciate us taking control from yew before, but understand and reconcile that you are in a better place now because of it. And a stronger guy too. Drop the grudge.

Crowbar

I think the opposite is true, the HEART might be the only weapon against the BEINGS we have. It's a risk having it with us but if we can get the ARMS it may be the only way to stop the VOICES if we can't reason with him.

Lee Evergreen

to the bunker: alright, thank you monilius for taking care of the zorcs! now its the safest it'll get for you to move on. lets head out and get to the next floor. the brambles are part of the truthsayer, by the way. he may be able to see and/or feel through them, and for sure you'll be absorbed if you touch them, so steer clear from them, and if possible dont even get seen by them (but dont worry about THAT too much). to the 2nd floor: if we've failed to tell you thus far, the FINGERS eldritch entity used its powers on subject 9. the tentacle guy made him to match our ideas of sexiness, and now sub9 shapes others to what it is now, rather than just zombifying everyone.

Neth Rusiki Azhti

(to the other readers/voices) I guess this heart didnt get a vessel? I wonder if we can get bodies like we can... or if it possesses someone, that someone loses their mind and we can be in the same vessel as them... i guess we could ask them. this heart seems to like us! which is very convenient, finally! but for sure, right now its just a bundle of powers. the SENSIBLE thing to ask it to do would be for it to die... our problems would all go away if the heart died first: it powers all the other entities, so the voice would instantly lose all its powers and fade away. but the heart might take it the wrong way... and it seems so nice so... i guess we're not doing that. so we now know that the 4th floor is for these eldritch entities which means... its likely that the arms are there as well, and whatever we find there is gonna be extra powerful and strong.

Neth Rusiki Azhti

Hey Heart, fair warning, there's a non-zero number of us that are already thinking about who they want to romantically and sexually pair you up with.

Star Ringer

(AGH SUGGESTIONS ARE HARD)

AnotherMeekOne

AND HOLY SHIT!!! LETTERMAN JACKET/PROM KING GASTRO IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER?!?!?

WorgenRouge

For Gastro, Chuck, and Pepi: Portals. Take a deep breath and practice a very important skill--tuning us out. Clear your mind. Deafen yourself to the voices like we're white noise. Think clearly, without interference, and focus on your quiet place. Your REALM. A personal retreat of self-created space in your mind, yet beyond it. Somewhere you can think, personalized for you. Even the lowest of the eldritch are entitled to one. Don't hide from that power. Embrace it as your right. Find your REALM. Feel at peace.

AnotherMeekOne

Just to add on more thoughts since were supposed to really stick to only one person now Keth: It's a shame, the way our "body" works is strange, left alone with time the screen will reform and we will be forced again into the other side unable to interact. We could assume a vessel from a body with no mind but who knows how long that truly allows us to stay. Maybe we were only stable before as the Voice was with us last time in the Voxtaur. Monilius: You're a smart and handsome guy, truly a swooner to the heart

Yoked Coder

(While that heart is important and everything) To Gastro:Hey our Favorite little Werewolf! It Seems you are Still upset and we are here to lend a ear if you want to talk!

Heart: It's nice to find you, what is going on. It seems the Eyes and you, the Heart, already have a plan on what exactly we're supposed to do in order to stop the Voice's rampage. Do you know whats going on with the Voices currently? Or any input you wanted to share or course you wanted to take? It's strange to interact with one of the beings like this directly, though not unwelcome. I truly at least want all the beings to coexist peacefully, the story of the Voices speaks more a tragedy. Are they truly unredeemable?

Yoked Coder

(alright guys, endgame, monstermash should be in a poly relationship. But first the heart.) Heart: not to be corny dude but I love you! Guess what? When we and the voices inhabited the same body, we made him feel a warm pink feeling he never felt before! It could be that same love you felt for me too! I think we can reach the voices somehow, but we have to stop him, to get him under control. Do you have a plan? Can you control his abilities? Also, about the ritual to summon us, it seems to neglect and weaken the abilities of the voice. Was that intentional? Is there a way to somehow null that effect/gaurd it gives against the voice? It's not important now tho, more for something later.

Alucardsamsun

Lol I was not expecting that outcome with Red and Yang... Red: Red I believe Yang isn't looking for just a quickie, he's looking for a relationship if I'm not mistaken. I don't know what exactly made him develop these feelings for you, but I know that they're real. Someone who has experienced the feeling of loneliness treasures their friends and lovers. I think I'm starting to understand why Yang likes you so much, you have this natural charisma to you, it's starting to have an affect on me as well despite not even knowing you all that long. Keth: Don't feel sad Keth! If we can't find a way to stay with you permanently just know that we'll always be with you in your heart. Do demons have hearts? You have given us something special that we will treasure forever!

Cid

Also ouch, I didn't expect the only response to my speech be Keth crying! Please dont cry the last thing I want is to hurt you, I'm so sorry!

Lee Evergreen

HEART: How were you and the Eyes able to single-handedly shatter the Voices in the first place? Or did you somehow enlist the Arms to help as well? Knowing what happened during the Voices' first defeat is critical to planning our next move. GASTRO: Ruminating on Jack won’t do you any good at this point. Given he was the mastermind behind all this, my guess is he’s not going to show himself until the endgame, whenever or wherever that ends up being. In the meantime, you need to be your own wolf; we all need your sights set on the task at hand, and your focus undisrupted. You have a level head, and are someone that the others trust and rely on. Show them how a GOOD Alpha leads, and let thoughts of the future STAY in the future for now.

WorgenRouge

Heart that Nourishes, you wish to help us then thank you. If you can help in telling us where you are that would be perfect. We would also like you to hide and reside in our vampire friend Sydan, it would keep you safe while also allowing him to live without feeding on others.

Kageichi

Okay Mr. Heart, do you have a plan? Cause we've pretty much been playing this on our toes, and we'd like to give the others a bit of stability, we will relay any information you can share immediately to them.

Lee Evergreen

Heart. Do you know your exact location? How can we get a physical body over to you?
