So did Sirleck leave the butler all his dead host's money? Or did Sirleck just have to get whatever host he could get right away? On the other hand, after whatever villainy Sirleck is about to commit, maybe he could jump to another host. Then everyone will think the butler did it.

Well. I've been kicked to the curd, now, haven't I?

This is, to put it mildly, Not Good.

The linked comic mentions that Sirleck was planning on making his host someone who was low-profile and was not connected to his previous host. The butler doesn't fit this profile. I don't think the butler is going to be Sirleck's next full-time host, more of a temporary host until he can get into position to take the intended host. From that same linked comic, the last two panels seem to imply that Sirleck is planning a double-cross. It may have been said before, but I believe Sirleck is planning to take the new physical form of the wizard. What would happen if Sirleck possessed a body of a wizard? Would he have access to spells as well?

On the off hand chance you don't know, "Blessed are the cheesemakers" is quote from Monty Python's Life of Brian. And for that matter cheese makers would inherit the whey, not the curds. But you are a cheese snob, so I know you knew that. ;-)

It's been like that for a while now. Also, Sirleck's body looks like a spine without the meaty stuff. Creepy...

So, we finally see Sirleck in his full glory. I wonder just how long that "tail" is.

I think Dan already has. Does the butler look willing? What Sirleck reminds me of most is the alien body stealer in The Hidden: Takes over hosts and wears them out. For an extremely creepy webcomic on this theme, try The Settlers.

Plans in motion... I think that's because Dan hasn't been here since at least a year before the Crash. He has no presence on the forums, so he can hardly call them "the official forum for EGS". I'm sure he made a tweet or tumblr post explaining in more detail. If I remember correctly, he left due to the hostile attitudes of some forum members that were banned afterwards. Sirleck has the element of surprise. That's -4 to the butler's initiative. Plus Sirleck is about to do a full-body grapple, giving Butler a severe dexterity penalty. I have doubts on Butler's ability to fight back. Enough to break his nose, probably. He landed on his face, and it looks like there's blood splatter.

Can the butler defend, since Sirleck is in the same plane? How soft/hard was that thunk? And why am I thinking of "Invasion of the Anti-Body Snatchers"?

April 28, 2017 Today's US Google Doodle is really cheesy.

This is Canon until proven otherwise. And maybe after that.

That was my thought as well. Same here, but I wasn't absolutely sure. Grace has a double ponytail like Noah or Second Life Ellen. You can just see a bit of the other ponytail stage left of her waist. However, I did miss the possibly-nude-woman. Heresy! Darn, I have to start carrying a D20 wherever I go, for reasons...

Warn her, apologize in advance, and let her know you appreciate her. In fact, even when everything is going great, let her know you appreciate her.

Of course, if she does "go first person" she will feel things (be "touched back") right through the spell. It would be ironic if she got used to being held in someone's hand before she got used to holding hands.

Hey you're a shapeshifter. Flirting is always an option...

This is still what Grace's stance makes me think of: I'm not really sure this one is mine. I might have downloaded it because I liked it: Thinking out loud is a bad habit: This was a follow-up to one (that someone else made) where Rhoda had just run away from Justin using "pointing power" on Noah: Again, I'm not sure this is mine: He's a sweetie after all: I don't remember exactly what inspired this one. Someone had mentioned Mr. Verres's "disco days": I don't really like this one either, but for completion's sake: And that's it.
