All good feeling must come to an end. And then you’re left with… what?

Poor Tenzin.

Any guesses on where they’re going? What Tenzin’s sad about THIS TIME? XD

ALL ALONE
Honza Prchal

Left with “very bad things”.
Relaxation, the time when something wicked this way comes.
“Oh, but you are alone. Who knows what you have spoken to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? So fair, yet so cold like a morning of pale Spring still clinging to Winter’s chill. “

  source?

    Tolkien. That’s Grima Wormtongue, speaking in the films (I found that quote faster) a reasonably accurate (I’ve looked it up before) transposition straight from the written page, in this case The Two Towers.
    Poor Eowyn. Tolkien does get women pretty well (the book/books was/were inspired by the classic romance life-story of his courting his wife - I use both plural and singular because The Lord of the Rings was published as a trilogy because of Britain’s socialist-related paper-shortage), but readers can be forgiven for missing that.

      You sir… are my kinda book nerd… :D And yeah, the part “walls of your bower closing in about you” rung a bell, but I was on my way out the door so figured I’d ask rather than starting a google. @Honzinator:disqus - I love the “random” historic factoids you have.

        Thanks NickDA and Daniel Sharp, for the kind words. I have a sudden urge to recommend you both see the film “Nick of Time”, which generally appeals to people with similar sensibilities … who also like firearms, though not critics (perhaps because the conceit is a bit preposterous).

        added to the watch list. Johnny Depp in a somewhat serious role… madness?

        In the book, Grima cuts Saruman’s throat with a hidden knife, then runs for a bit before getting arrow’d in the back by Hobbit archers not far from Bag End in Hobbiton.
        That’s when everyone looks at the corpse of Curinir and note that it is shriveling, his spirit rises from the dust, looks (if memory serves) east and is blown away by the wind.

    Cmon Nick, you didn’t instantly recognize that? For shame. I don’t even know you anymore ;P

  To which Jane undoubtably replies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
  - Adriano
    
    Well, apart the fact that this song is a trolling meme, Jane surely is cute!
    I mean, playing/singing this to her friend/partner shows so much how she cares about Tenzin. And how much she’s cute and smart!
    Ah, Jane, I wish I could have YOU by my side!
    - NickDA
      
      sad how disqus ruins the RickRoll troll by expanding it out… I’m tempted to open a help ticket to them about that. — the best I could do: https://twitter.com/ThriveDev/status/732632483431211008

        Well I have a setting that would disallow the media embedding of pictures and videos. The link would be there, but it wouldn’t show up.

        Ahahah, awesome! Imma add something, wait

    PDCs - Pint Dispensing Containers. Obviously.

      The mystery is solved!

  DO YOU HEAR THEIR SCREAMS?
  
  Because I surely do.

    That’s just the ghost rockband tryouts.
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      You’ve caught me. This is all a lead up to a paranormal rock band slice of life comic.

        The Secret: Jane is the ghost of Indira.
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        Pff, she obviously got reincarnated as Lily. I thought that was obvious.
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Well.. drats
      - melaredblu
        
        Actually, I really like that I idea. Assuming this is a story where reincarnation is a thing (or at least not something that’s definitively written off), I might just headcanon that.
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        I will allow you to headcanon that ;)
      - Random Guy
        
        Headcannons are dangerous, you have to be careful of recoil from the plottwists.
      - Adriano
        
        Nah, Jane is the ghost of Tenzin’s gf… She doesn’t exist for real :D :D :D

  “Ugh there is going to be SO much paperwork to fill out for this! … I wonder if I can get Jane to do it all…”
  - Adriano
    
    x’D
    Could he?
    Find out in the next page of The Demon Archives: Paperwork Apocalypse!

      I thought that was thwarted in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?
      - Adriano
        
        Eh?
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        Did you ever read that book? Osviously a reference of some kind. I’m not sure EXACTLY to what as it’s a been a bit since I read them :)

I’d be moody too if somebody scribbled hatch marks all over my face. (Don’t kill me, Seba! I do like the effect.)
- Matt [in Middletown]
  
  Jane abused the face paint applicator inside the helmet, Tenzin just figured that out.
- SebasP
  
  ha ha you’re so funny ( sarcasm )
