Dr. Flack is channeling her inner Blackadder with that last expression...
"I’ve got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel."
You have my upvote :3
Wait that's a plan? I thought it was a Weasel missing it's tail!
Any Blackadder quote automatically gets a +5 from me.
Does that mean Mayor Hackett is Baldrick, Percy, or George?
Yes
But which one!?
He froze
Quick, what OS is he running? Do we crt+alt+del or cmd+alt+esc? What if he's running a homebrew? How can we unfreeze him before Flack's plan brings him to his final bluescreen?
Ahhh oh crud umm... just cycle the power! aaaahhh!
Oh crud I think I fried the ram :(
Surprisingly alt works just as well as pressing option.
I'm feeling dense today. This is obviously a joke on how alt and opt are the same key, but... I said alt...
Probably OS2 Warp.
Tamisin731.exe has stopped working due to computer pun overload.
I think you might need to download some more RAM if that bitty pun is shutting down operations.
Oh hell, Knotty better get his running feet back on quick
You leave the boy alone! Haven’t you done enough?
you can't be the hangman im already the hangman
Try not to tie yourself in knots over it
It's up to you, now, Vince...
Flack's smirk... I do not like that grin o' evil T_T
I knew it! They're going to put a bad wig on Mr Knott and pretend he's Sharpe.
yeah, if you've got illusory magic that'd possibly work, anyone putting him up or any last requests would inadvertently screw with a lot of that.
Shhhhhh, he's joking.
who knows at this point.
With Sturzkamf you can assume he's both sarcastic and roleplaying, because it's incredibly rare that he's not. ;)
Also I hope he will forgive my omission of his P, especially since I'm not a particularly worthy enemy, and I'm sure maternity clothes are not his size.
She better don't try to get him hanged, else she'll run into some serious hangman-related issues. I doubt his father will agree to pull the lever for his own son.
And she doesn't know that Knotty is a hangman, not a lawyer, so maybe that will be what thwarts her plan.
It also helps that traditionally, executioner's jobs weren't coveted. Not a lot of people wanted to do it, but you also couldn't casually take over and be the hangman even if you wanted to.
Oh, man, poor Knotty. He's still in shock from seeing his best friend and the guy he was becoming close with apparently pushed to their deaths - he's not going to be in very good shape to counter whatever Flack's planning to do.
I thought he was counting until he heard the 'splat', to work out how deep the hole is.
"Escort Rana to her rally", that way on of our main characters can yell "Quiescete!" and let Rana destroy you.
I do not see how Sharpe and Eliza will escape their current predicament, but I am assuming that they will find a way.
Probably that's just one of the entrances to the kitchen and they'll show up at the rally.
So, Sharpe is a wizard (if a very inadequate one, from how he's talked about), and we know intense emotions from wizards close to the Anchor can summon spirits without bothering with rituals.
Therefore, the only question is what emotion would be sufficiently intense to summon a spirit that could fly Swift and Sharpe out of the pit...
desperation?
Sheer bloody terror?
Vertigo?
His ego is large enough to act as a passenger dirigible.
And the Knotty snapped and killed everyone. The end.
Oh, Mr. Hackett, I fear you have misunderstood what is meant by the term "fall guy".
So she’s gonna hang Knotty,... but he’s the hangman....
Does this mean he has to hang himself??
So I was wrong, she did plan to have him present it as his own work. I wonder how much she marked down his real work in order to make him eager to claim credit for anything he could grab. Not that it absolves him, but she does seem to have pushed him in that direction.
An idea of a horrible awful verity!
I just noticed what a lovely slim neck you have, Doctor... perfect for a hemp necklace...
