I literally, and I mean that in the truest sense of the word, started screaming at the last panel. So! Freaking! Creepy! Aaahhhh!

(I have been watching the last few updates with increasing dread. I was so proud when they decided they were going to leave, and then found out they meant leave the creepy alley for the creepy hotel. No!)

(Though now I am curious what an aberrant looks like through Aembers glowy blue box.)

That last panel will haunt ME, let alone our crew here!

Otherwise, the guys bonding with a giggle, the raised eyebrow from Jonan (who takes the bed - no fool there), the way the girls are watching all the time so they don't miss much - lovely connections

Necropony knows he is not allowed on the bed and Jonan does not know why he thinks he can get away with that foolishness here

Outside of Necropony, Jonan has obviously not spent much time around pets and/or small children. They're very "situational:" just because a new situation is very similar to another one in which one was told not to do something, does not in any way mean that one should not do that something now. After all, it's a different situation!

(One of the things I love about Necropony is that he definitely believes he is a pet - by which I mean, beloved four-legged family member - for Jonan!)

I love this webcomic and thanks to the creator for sharing. How it is possible to make an undead pony soo damn adorable is baffling to me but I so want one of my own. Also Necropony means I give Jonan a lot of slack he must be a good guy if the undead abomination loves him right?

The fact that the inn keeper straight up told them the place is haunted and Xira is the only one who is worried about it makes me worried for the survival of this party. Do none of them have self-preservation skills?

This page has the best mixture of emotions. I went from laughing out loud at the second panel to major concern over the last panel. Scary stuff, and I love it!

...All feelings of terror are negated by the adorable vote incentive.

"There's... probably a better way to do it."

I'm guessing there's a better way than what Sev comes up with, for almost anything, really.

Erm, Sev, may I remind you that according to the cast page Jonan is only 29 years old? Technically, he's younger than Esra (whom we haven't seen much of recently, but I honestly thought he was in his early 20s until I read the cast page . . . Really, I'd be completely wrong about many things without the guiding wonder that is the cast page!). Good thing Jonan doesn't easily take offense at that sort of thing . . . or at least is too smart to take offense when it means the difference between a comfy bed and the hard floor!

Also, Sev, yes indeed there are probably better ways (than setting them on fire) to handle most problems.

Sev gets extra points, though for offering the comfy beds to other people, and for deciding that sleep is more important than being freaked out by the haunted inn. (Truth is, if I could only pick one RW character to spend a day with, I would almost certainly pick Sev, heh.)

omg that last statement is wonderful, I'm so glad, IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN EXCITING DAY IF NOTHING ELSE xD

(I will point out, though, that Jonan definitely does not look 29! Sev would have no reason to believe Jonan's that young)

I have been wondering why Jonan looks so much older than his years, even allowing for the effect of dehydration. Magic using him up? Rarlier Miscast of his own? Using magic to make himself look older as he had a really cute baby face? Also, hopefully he will be able to get a recharge easier here.

Jonan may be "only" 29, but he's easily the oldest member of the group. He's more than twice Æmber's age, almost twice as old as Xira, and half again Sev's age. When have people ever needed more of a gap than that to kid someone about their age?

I... I am now imagining interactive Runewriters... Like, classic 8bit style. (Homestuck being the most comparable example of comic+game combo). I approve. =D

On a further tangent, Runewriters Dating Sim. Where any attempt to flirt with Sev goes COMPLETELY UNNOTICED, whereas even thinking favourably about Xira prompts shy awkward advances from him.

If you try to pursue Jonan the best you can do is get permission to observe while he works on his necromancy projects, but that allows you to unlock Necropony's minigame.

IT'S ACTUALLY TOO SPOILERY,,,, because the ideas I had were like, what if I made a dating game that takes place a few years after the story is done,

(basically my issue was if you wanted to date everyone during the story, it's tough to make those logistics work, since the player avatar then would have to be like, this extra new character that joins the party?? while they're travelling I guess??? it's hard to take time off to date, IDK, MAYBE IM OVERTHINKING THIS,,,)

Huh... Yeah I guess it would be. Unless Player just kinda *happened* to be traveling the same direction at the same speed and *happened* to keep bumping into the party at moments when they aren't running for their lives. But that's a loooot of coincidence.
