The worm has turned!
Yay Voss!
Yeah! :D
Yay Voss!
Vay Yoss!
[He's got no strings](Â0Â "Â1Â")?
Woohoo! :D Go, Voss, GO! Fight the Sin!
Well, Voss had experience of fighting Envy's direct control, before: [http://www.widdershinscomic...](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-23rd-2014/ "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/december-23rd-2014/") It didn't last a long time, though.
Or perhaps it's the result of Verity's sudden freeing :)
Nevertheless, it's great, for without his struggle and his volitional effort he wouldn't be able to break the string!
:)
Heylie, it's you! I've just realized it :)
In retrospect, perhaps Envy shouldn't have tried to puppet somebody who had previously learned how to break free from his influence. Particularly since the technique that Envy used back then to reassert control isn't likely to work now.
...These Deadly Sins we've seen so far ain't too bright, are they?
It is exactly what I thought after Envy's line about "My favourite puppet". :)
Their "Did you care about him?.. oh, I got it, you wish to play the hero!" didn't show deep insight, either. :)
Well, Intelligence isn't one of them...
Either that or he was way more opposed to hurting Wolfe than.. Sid was to try his magic trick on Verity. [/shower thought]
Way to go Voss!
Show that determination of Friendship is stronger than the chains of Envy!
GM: ... What?!
Voss: A Natural 20 for the save, yes!
GM: (facepalm)
Heh. Something tells me there's an additional +20 on top of it going on there.
that's a circumstance bonus if i've ever seen one
Envy: Oh snap.
Yes. Very nice.
What would be really nice would be to see Envy's face when Verity's charging at it with a saw!
While the image is amusing...I'm thinking more along the lines of Vee using the saw to cut through a rope suspending a sandbag right over Envy's head.
Woo! Redemption arc!
I expect envy to punish him for that. Possibly with cruelty and finality.
I expect Envy to TRY. Doesn't mean that It's going to get very far...
I don't know he's pretty much expendable in this story
Never underestimate a puppet... NEVER!
The strings you trust to hold the most are always the first to go...
The perspective of the last panel made me think for a second that the comic had suddenly gotten really dark...
Don't worry it's a string that snapped not a neck ;)
Yet...
Oh, it will get rather dark soon...mwha...mahaaha....mawaahaaHAAAHAAAHAAHAAAHAAAA!
...you see, Envy's stage-lights are seemingly part of how he projects his power, so sooner or later the heroes will break them. Then, by definition, the comic will be darker. ;)
Oh Envy, looks like someone's pulling your string.
The more I look at Voss's face in the last panel, the more I think this is my favorite look he's ever had... Something about the way it's drawn suggests to me that, while trying to weaken Envy, Voss is gaining in strength. It's, like, the face of someone who isn't a total loser.
Hurrah for Voss!
