PREQUEL suggestion box (thread 6)

[Gavinfoxx]

You're kidding. There are tons of heartfelt speeches every single update, and all Katia ever does with them is throw them back in the readers' faces. If lots of speeches did anything, then we would still be clothed and have things, and also not in the rain.

Are you sure? I think I've seen some evidence that Kazerad takes the % of ‘positive/reinforcing’ suggestions, and compares it with the % of ‘negative/damning’ suggestions, and then have example suggestions of the winner appear in the story...

[ProphetLord]

Oh wow, there is an amazingly terrible thunderstorm out right now. This is the perfect atmosphere for an update.

[Monster10]

>Katia, Stop acting so depressed, we've been down this road before and we have always been able to pull ourselves out. I suggest heading to the local religious establishment, to see if you can acquire some shelter from the storm, and possibly clothing if they are the generous type.

>World, Stop being an ass to Katia you fucking scumbag.

[Snow]

Mysterious white cat: appear in garbage can.
(I have no idea if I've already posted for this or not...)

[Lirian]

> Kill yourself...blablabla...It's time.

Or you could stop reading the comic, for the same effect!

And also stop posing. :v

[Thunderkitsune]

Okay yeah I think this is the point where I've gone so long between updates that the suggestions are veering into pointlessness territory.

Terribly sorry about that, I was thinking more along the lines of 'what else could possibly go wrong'. As much as I love Katia, isn't making her cry half the fun?

[ExOttoyuhr]

Katia: How many stray cats can shoot fireballs from their hands? You got robbed by a Bug Musk-packing alchemist, but that doesn't make you retroactively not a wizard. (And you clearly weren't her first or wealthiest victim, either!)

Go to the temple for shelter and new clothes; tomorrow, refill your magic reserves and do some hunting. (Or combat training; general principles of fighting -- and unarmored-combat techniques in particular -- should still be useful to you even though you don't have a machete at the moment.)

Everything: Turns out to be a really bad dream

Sigrid: Wake the mage khajit up. Inform her that she went a bit wild after taking that alcohol you 'accidentally' mixed in. So you have put her under sleep charm.

Readers: Support this for god's sake

I think we got off light in the Sigrid incident. Let's not tempt fate in a setting where we could end up powering somebody's Constant Effect: Slowfall 1pt for the rest of Nirn's existence.

Also, I just noticed trouble in the last panel...

Katia: open the bottle of whatever and dump it out. It was in the trash; either it's contaminated for some reason, or a Daedra put it there to play tricks with you, and either way, you don't want to touch it. Then, act drunk and see if someone will give you a pineapple and a yo-yo, since a snack might help lift your spirits and a sturdy yo-yo makes a viable weapon in a pinch.

Katia: stop thinking of yourself as "a deformed cat-thing" and start thinking of yourself as every bit as adorable as we, your subsconscious, think you are! (Seconding the post pointing out that she needs to realize that being a Khajiit has a lot of up-sides.)

[Xeivous]

Why don't we get Katia to challenge Sigrid to a magical duel? I'm fairly certain it's legal and Katia has an advantage of %50 spell absorption and a 150pts of magika. According the the oblivion wiki, Sigrid only has 155pts of magika total and her only tagged combat magic skill is conjuration. I say Katia has a fair chance at winning.

Ooh! I like this.

Of course, what if Sigrid calls up something super nasty? I'm not familiar with Oblivion, so I don't know exactly how powerful summoning is. Would that be considered "cheating", since the creature becomes a proxy for the person who's supposed to do the fighting?

No no no,

She should challenge Sigrid to a dance off. Just be sure to specifically ban bug musk.

Sigrid summoned a clannfear, an expert level conjuration spell. We can assume that she also knows the other spells up to at least the expert level. This includes dremora, spider daedra, daedroth, and faded wraiths. This also includes a full set of daedric armor and weapons.
Katia stands little to no chance against anything Sigrid can summon, nor could she likely stand up to Sigrid in physical combat, due to Sigrid's conjure armor.


In other words, nope.

Sigrid would likely never consent to such a duel and prefer to talk her way out of it - but if somehow forced to it, she'd load herself up with a zillion cheesy potions of resist fire and a bajillion restore magicka potions. Katia wouldn't stand a chance.

Any vengeance that Katia takes against Sigrid will almost certainly have to be stealthy to avoid a face-to-face confrontation.

On the chance that votes are being seriously counted for and against... Katia: You can't seriously want to kill yourself over losing a few septims and a letter that can be rewritten. Get a grip.

[Asalis]

Yeah... you screwed up big time, and there's nothing that can be done to fix this. should have seen the signs. And what's more, whatever she used on you seem to have the same effect on everyone else in town with as much as they seem to idolize her. But that doesn't matter right now. Your soaked to the bone and in dire need of some shelter but where? only place left available is the church but would they even have any place available?

Bottle? No... you couldn't, that's what got you here in the first place. wonder if it's even full, probably not. but still... aw screw it.

... Well now you know what it was doing in the trash. Just find some shelter.

[Murder]

Wait... since Katia have good handwriting (right?)
Can't she make a fake letter?

[Merth]

Having good handwriting and being able to forge a letter that, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists are two different things. Katia's much better off just asking Hirtel to write another letter. All she would have to do is tell him she was mugged. She woulden't even need to mention Sigrid, not that it would do much good to mention that she robbed Katia to anyone that lives in Kvatch.

[stupidjellyfish]

Katia > Tell everyone of Sigrid's true intentions.

Civilians of Kavatch > Be offended by Katia's heresy. "ALL HAIL ALMIGHTY SIGRID! BURN AND TORCH THIS KITTEH!"

Kata > Accidentally burn entire town with unimaginable fire spell. Escape from the scene.

:3

Outright forgery? To her friend?!

Unthinkable!


Well, clearly not, since you thought it. But still, NEVER.

Mentioning Sigrid is a good idea, though. There's basically two outcomes. Either he hates her and we get an ally with local knowledge in our struggle to recover the parcel, or he loves her, doesn't mind that his previous parcel became a donation and is willing to write us a new letter.




Also, we NEED that bottle. ESPECIALLY if it's contaminated:

Second that!


>Town watchman: Fine strange catlady for littering the streets, indecent exposure, damaging Mages Guild property and performing a Tragedy in public without an official permit. Compliment her on her dedication and ability to completely immerse herself in the role though.

[DestinedFateX]

KAZERAD> DRAW CATS. IGNORE FINALS

I can't second this because I believe those finals are more important than drawing a drunk cat-person failing at life.

Nah, I sympathize with Kaz. Finals week for me too, it's a killer.

[Merth]

Thankfuly I've been done with finals for a few years, but I still feel for those that have them. Crunch time sucks ass =(

1. Advice from a forum which has continuously failed to guide Katia to success.
2. Kaz is notorious for largely ignoring suggestions from the forum anyway.

Are there people seriously not seeing the humour?

Do I need to suggest that Kaz drink all the booze to get the joke across?
