After this, I'm wondering how in the know everyone is.
The others don't seem all that surprised to hear that they worship the bunny that they happen to have been carrying around with them.

I'm thinking it's more that they're surrounded by bunny statues in the last panel. The others have probably all already made the connection between those idols and Richard's bunny.
I like Richard's idea about stabbing. I'll have to try it on retail customers sometime >.<

I don't know. I still feel like somebody should be a little taken aback.
"Wait, that little thing been something worshipped by the Sisters all this time? What in the 13 hells?!"
Everyone's just smiling at Richard's ignorance and nobody's confused. That's the issue I'm having.

I'm guessing they passed more bunny statues before arriving here and made the connection.
I think the Archmage'll be making his reveal within the next few pages.

I doubt the archmage will reveal himself... if they worshiped archmage form there would not be bunny statues everywhere.

I don't think the Arcmage will reveal himself either. After all, Cale and co seem to accept that he's the sisters' lord. Why get everyone all suspicious?
Ronin Drake
Oct 15 2009, 04:52 AM
Yeah, as I recall, the Matron claimed that the bunny was the "true form" of their great lord, or some such nonsense. Would be quite a shock to all the Sisters, now wouldn't it?

Anyone else want to see the second through seventh parts of Richard's command and hear him finish the scroll?
Also, I think the group just thinks they've found bunny worshippers. Pella may know about the AM, but the others would dismiss it as a cult. It's hardly the strangest thing they've seen.

I think it's already taken a left turn at Albuquerque. I'm actually glad that it's revealed that everyone knows by this point. I mean, the bunny statues everywhere, and all that, someone had to make the connection somewhere: and it drives me nuts when there's stuff like that in a non-humorous story and no one makes the obvious connection.

Richards rules are fantastic by teh way. He really has thought them through.

And there are plenty of people i talk too who really deserve a good stabbing.
I call that he writes all new laws for all countries.

Now, I promised myself I wouldn't choke on laughter... but I just can't help it! (Maybe if I sit up...) I agree, the group sans Pella probably think it's a bunny worshipping cult or some such. Even Pella may not know the archmage has been following them around as fellbunny. So while we find the connection obvious, dramatic irony dictates that someone, at least, not be in the know (with predictably hilarious results).
On another note, I think OOTS is starting to affect my writing style.

and another thing: cale seems to have gained several lucidity points (since shagging benny - now how´s that for an upgrade procedure?). for once, he´s in the know and gets to make fun of the "lone sucker who doesn´t understand what´s really going on" - and richard is the sucker! who would have thought!

Im wondering how they know that this bunny is so special.
Is it just the bunny not being afraid of them?
If its just that, then Id hate to march and army of these people through the woodlands.
Sister: OUR LORD!
Brother: HAIL!
Cale: For the last time, I trapped this for dinner! Quit putting jewels on it.

About time the others finally twigged about felbunny and the god the sisters/sons worship...
I still think the archmage is just a disguise though.
And there's someone in one of the sisters' old robes. I wonder who that is.
Hmm, are they under the temple again, or is this another, smaller temple?
I'm not sure it would be very wise to remain at the original temple. Maybe there is something they have to do there, but still.
As for Richard's list, you can finish that in the usual approved-but-annoying method of making a thread for it here on the forum, and you come up with points on the list.

Think about it...THIS bunny is sitting--unharmed--on Richard's shoulder...I'd say that makes it a pretty damn special bunny, no matter how you slice (or stab) it.

Actually I'm pretty sure that Richard's first rule has to do with Einstein:
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left." -A. Einstein
And that would probably be to Richard's liking..

Oct 15 2009, 11:14 AM
Ok, i find Richard's actions suspicious.
Given he's a little oblivious to some things, hanky panky being a prime example.
But we already know that HE knows who felbunny is, so why is he being so naive?
Attention grabbing anyone?
And frankly how beautiful would it be if the sisters really did mistake Richard for the lord, purely because of febunny's presence?
I can see them all running out to kill bees.

The other party members are dolts. Richard knows who the Bunny is and can deduce AM has influenced the sisters and brothers. Richard must use teasing humor for 1. the throw off the people around him(gives him an advantage), 2. He probably has so much weight on his shoulders that he would fall into deep depression without the use of humor...Remember his comment on his destiny at the trial?
Evil Monkey
Oct 15 2009, 12:43 PM
There's no way Richard doesn't realize that they're focused on Felbunny and not him. He might be egotistical, but he's smart enough to know this. On the upside though, it's good to see that he's capitalizing on the attention lavished on Felbunny so that he can get in some Richard Primetime.
I don't think the Archmage will "reveal" himself, but I think at least one of them (aside from Richard) is going to figure out the connection soon. Pella might already know if she's taking orders from him, but I don't think anyone else has caught on yet, as none of us even considered it until he transformed for us right on one of the panels.
Monday should be highly interesting.

Richard may know who the Archmage is but I'm not sure he's put together that with the Giant Bunny statues around him to realize that the Sisters worship the Bunny and not him. He may be so caught up in himself that he's not thinking clearly. He was probably too busy composing the list.

To everyone who would be confused, I'm thinking they may still be. In the next few pages I would say they will show a bit more curiousity toward it but for the simple fact of a bit of humor they pointed out the ignorance of Richard.

Regarding the "Unusually friendly" Part of your post, I think Richard is a little different then holding a grudge along with the fact that he loves hate and hates love. He probably respects them for what they did, the fact that they tried, the creativeness of it, and probably enjoyed the challange of escaping.(probably wasnt much of a challenge

It's not difficult to understand that, there is a sister in the old white robe in the last panel. This, by the way, means that the sisters in white robes weren't transformed into blelf girls and are still around and that means the origin of blelf girls is now a complete mystery. I'm already looking forward to hearing the matron explain the whole fusion thing to the group, maybe when she tells them about the bunny-worship.
Also, does anyone think that the sisters will really obey Richard? They may worship the archbunny, but he can't talk without shapeshifting, so Richard could be his spokesman.

Good point about the white robes but we don't know that they're still Pink skinned, they could be blue elves wearing the old white robes.
As for Richard, well he's a bit of a tard when it comes to anything not directly related to magic or killing things so him forgetting doesn't surprise me.
I doubt the sisters would follow him, after all they no doubt receive orders from the Archmage without him talking, perhaps through telepathy.
Antarus
Oct 15 2009, 04:15 PM
But then, why would the now blue sisters change their clothes right before the big battle?
Richard is egotistic and he may not have noticed the statues yet, but he knows that the sisters didn't worship him before, he knows the archbunny's real identity and he is intelligent enough to guess what happens based on these facts. Also, i don't think the bunny communicates with the sisters through telepathy: the matron wouldn't have asked for orders then, as she would immediately know everything the "lord" has to tell her.
He seems interested in Richards list, however, which means he doesn't already know what it contains, which in turn means that even if Richard is speaking for the archmage, the archmage himself didn't authorise anything on the list. It is also possible that Richard is just trying to use his current position to make the sisters do what he wants.

And now that you mention it, there's actually two of them wearing the old white robes in the last panel, one's right behind Cale, by Krunch's elbow, both of their faces are unseen however, so can't tell if they're still bald white humans, or pointy eared Blue Man Group rejects.
