499 | So Worthless

Ha! Naveed looks so disappointed in panel 6. She's probably thinking 'Why does this little red haired ***** always ruin my fun?'
As usual, good work.

I have to agree with G@tor on this… I just hope whatever she pulls does cost her the other arm…

surpise attack in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Anyone notice the arm is rebuilding?

Man, Naveed is definitely fitting the dumb villain right now. Not understanding that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and thinking they are hiding the truth, when they are really telling her exactly what she is asking.

Nah, Reona is super over Efrem. That's supposed to be a little tidbit for the reader, but you guys just are not interested in any of the Efrem hints we're dropping. The poor guy is black-listed.

I re-read that section recently. It looked to me like Efrem wanted to distract Zap while Naveed dealt with Reona to prevent Zap from interfering with Naveed, but he did anyway because Efrem didn't really make an effort.

But, given that the author of the whole thing is saying otherwise, I suppose I must be mistaken. I can has 'splaination plz?

Water carries blast energy well? Wow. The more you know

Maybe Naveed & crew just aren't very aware of their surroundings ;P

it looks like it's made of floating bits in panel 7 O.o

I hope Pascalle and Lepas each get their own cakes…

Efrem is kind of apathetic towards Reona at this point. He MIGHT have had feelings for her before, hence the saving her from Naveed the first go round, but in his mind, she continued to put herself in harms way and he can't be bothered to keep saving her. He has an agenda. Reona is not part of that agenda. She was merely a distraction for him… there is another reason for their “relationship” but I can't reveal that spoiler free at the moment.

Keep in mind, Gunner has a plan. Hes aware of the possible outcomes of the actions Efrem made. Gunner has what would be considered prior knowledge of upcoming situations. It is possible Gunner didnt consider it a “capital crime” because Gunner does not believe anything Reona can do will affect his plans. The question is… is he right in believing that? Only two people know for sure. I happen to be one of them. :)

Apparently I'm the third wheel in our two person operation. lol

It's not 'dumb villain.' It is a pretty common technique to torture someone to make sure they're telling everything. In America, we call it 'waterboarding.'

No it is a technique to make people tell you what you want to hear. Nothing to do with the truth, everything or reality.

OK. Naveed just crossed a major line from villain to absolutely irredeemable <expletive deleted=””>. I know it's just a scifi/fantasy story, yet still, what I want Naveed to experience before expiring is not printable.

Good good story, Pascalle!</expletive>

Welcome, new Zapling!

I, too, am a fellow “Dreamer”; I think I started reading Zap the first time Calle's guest art was put up on Scott's site. Interesting to see that its encore appearance is once again bringing new Zaplings in!

:)

Naveed is losing it.
