You think it's tough shaving in a moving pymaric transport; try sewing your windpipe back together blind inside one.

16_147

Toma's just got too much baggage. Give that thot a pass, Elka.

16_146

Been sitting on that a while, Captain? Though, does he mean love as in romantic love, or like, Pantoffel love? Not that Elka could ever hope to compete with Pantoffel.

16_145

I like the way Sette is sitting with her legs draped over one of Duane's legs, to help him feel more secure in this, his most helpless of states. She needs a minute to compose herself for the sudden Knock though; Knock-Me-Down is a LOT.

It's a few hours later though. Elka got a chance to clean up and re-equip and woo, is she feeling like a new woman and woo, am I happy to have her out of the crappy prisoner rags she's been wearing for years.

16_144

Farewell, weird dog ranchers. Stay here, it's safer.

16_143

You just don't try to steal a man's dog, Knock >(

16_142

One more scene left. Props and emoji to whomever guesses the character we cut to next.

16_141

Cutter, stop corrupting the youth.

16_140

He returns! And he has a few new friends. They seem nice.

16_139

Thank you for your indulgence as I spend far too much time portraying bodega interiors. May I draw your attention to the hanging hams and the breathbox styled like an old timey cash register?

Discord's Dog Project

I just received this AMAZING card from our Discord friends and readers, and I couldn't keep it to myself! It's too good! It's an embarrassment of good boys and girls!

Thank you so much, friends, it made me cry <3

I lost my doggo Carter in January. She went peacefully, and that was something I was able to give her in part thanks to Patreon. I was able to afford for a vet to come to our place and euthanize her while she was comfortable in her own bed. She loathed the vet's office...

I just love evil Ruckmearkha, okay. He is my hammy Id.

16_137

Maur and I are too edgy for the critics v_v

This page benefits from high res more than others. It took so long to do!

In spite of all that's happened, it still is Tirnasday! One of the most important holidays in the world, where people remember the time that Tirna was thrown to earth after betraying Mother Goddess Yerta. It's a day that grand processions take chosen twins from their shrines and away to a strange religious rite in the world's most populated cities~

16_135

New scene next page. Let's go to a parade!

16_134

Lady Ilganyag is a lot crueller to Bastion than she is to Duane. Familiarity breeds contempt.

There is a more explicit version of this page attached. Just some weenies that I ultimately decided to edit out.

Those disembodied hands might look familiar to the observant reader. I (and Ilganyag) wanted Bastion lulled by memories of a more comfortable encounter with someone Bastion loved (Rahm, even though he can't remember him anymore) before splashing him with the ice water of Master...

16_133

Had a disruption to my schedule last night and completely forgot to upload this! Isn't it weird how one little quirk in your process can throw off a routine you've been on top of for like seven years? :) My apologies.

Finally Lady Ilganyag (via Bastion, anyway) spells out exactly how she's been massaging events in her favour. She'll be more explicit next page.

16_132

Timofey was reading the rest of the chapter along with us. Everyone's a critic >(

16_131

When last we saw Bastion, he'd just returned from checking on Prakhuta/Cutter, and had found his old friend batshit insane and with more genocidal ideations than one typically likes to see. Confronting Lady Ilganyag about all this, she'd choked him into a coma. Such ingratitude! Timofey has been a little bored in the interim.

Bastion's apartment is gross, isn't it? He doesn't usually spend much time here. This is Fachlyne, also known as the quarantined district in which the weeping plag...

16_130

And that's the last we'll see of Litriya shrine for now. Long arc - thanks for sticking with me through it! The chapter's not done yet though; next we'll take a brief trip to Bastion's nasty apartment before doubling back to Cresce for more Tirnasday celebrations~

A few chapters ago we got a glimpse of Lady Ilganyag's nest within the khert and saw it contained a weird assortment of rather familiar items. Seems she's been digging with a specific purpose in mind, and claiming strange priz...

The last panel makes me think of a Souls game; wandering into a clearing to see this guy sitting there and knowing the music's about to kick up and you're gonna have yourself a boss fight.

16_128

Uaid was just a big dumb-looking robot to us; but to Matty and his dad he was a way to put off grieving Vienne.

We'll skip ahead a few hours on the next page.

16_127

Just a miserable page all around.

16_126

And with this, we are through with the living Adeliers for a while. Seeya kids, fly safe, get some Visine for those eyes, Lem.

16_125

The Tainish is "My little wright." Lemuel needs a whole bottle of vodka right now but he's holding together okay!

16_119-124

A big update today and an unconventionally structured one. I'd rather you read it on the site if you can - https://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch16/ch16_119.html 

I have attached high-res versions, even of the callback chapter 7 pages, which I don't think were ever uploaded here.

I'll answer any questions in the comments. Thanks for reading!

16_118

Lemuel reached into the very bottom of his inventory of Shitty Options, and pulled this out. I fear the locals will be dredging vliegeng bones from the bed of this river for years~

Lots of pages on Monday~

16_117

Just too many variables to keep his eye on, gotta cut the zombie some slack! D:

Thanks for all the helpful comments last update, everyone! We'll do a single page on Friday, then a bunch of pages on Monday.

16_116

Duane giving off Batman vibes here.

Guys, I need your help. I very much want to drop most of the rest of this scene on Friday in one chunk of ten pages, but that'll necessitate an eventual three week break. I really think it's the best way to present those pages and help everything read clearest, but I always worry that it's irritating dealing with posting hiatuses.

Basically I just need your feedback! Is it too irritating? Do you support it? Please ease my uncertainty.

edit...

The Quigleys were RP characters of mine long ago and back in my game, there was no pymary, were no pymarics, were no artificial personalities. Instead, Quigley dabbled in necromancy, and he had stored the soul of Matty's dog inside Uaid so Matty wouldn't be sad when it died. Part of me still thinks of Uaid as just a big, floppy, happy dog.
