Judging from the look on Betamax’s face, that’s probably Cassette that just interrupted the proceedings.
My thought exactly
Well Sage just established that the arrow only kills people temporarily, so it’s probably a safe bet.
My thought exactly.
She’s back alive!!! only kilt temporarily!
I actually love the idea of a magic weapon that “kills temporarily”, it’s just so absurd. And potentially terrifying.
And it also fits in smoothly with everything else in this story.
When I wished for life after death, that’s really not what I meant … still, considering the alternatives …
Not only is a magic weapon that kills temporarily absurd and potentially terrifying, it’s also absolutely terrible for using to frame someone when the victim can get up at any time and say “no, that’s not who killed me, it was her over there!”
Have you read this comic? It’s potentially disturbing, bat-shit goofy stuff like that that keeps me coming back.
Botoxica probably thought she just got lucky.
