Parable - 206 - 207 - HD
🕑 Added 2021-01-09 11:48:22 +0000 UTCThe perfect plan! If not for all the flaws.
(Attachments are the combined comics as shown above, and them separated.)
Commentary
I'm sure none of this will matter in the main story. This long-tailed unicorn of apparent canon who is apparently not acting along is surely of no significance.
Double-sized!
I think this works well as one comic, which might hide the fact that it was originally supposed to be two separate comics, and that they were combined after a delay. I'd best not mention that's the case in this commentary so as to cleverly deceive anyone who was not aware of this.
HORSES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY
I don't know if you know how horses work, but those hooves being visible in the second to last panel are nonsense for so, so many reasons.
Well, He Wouldn't
The unicorn was originally going to say "well, it was someone's idea" as the final line in the last panel, but then I remembered he wouldn't actually have the context to know what exactly Susan was talking about.
It's not like they set out to cause video game parody dreams, and they've apparently been dream hopping in search of the person with dream magic, so it's not like they've been hanging around learning the logic of this specific dream. Particularly not with everyone looking distorted to them.
So, the unicorn didn't get to point that out, but yes, it was the idea of someone there (and definitely not me).

The presence of all of them together intrigues and excites already ... And also it's a nice print!

OMG, this is amazing! Apart from the stress it put you under when it came time to do this one, because buffering is hard, of course. I'm so glad you planned it like this from the start! ;) Also... attempting to identify people via their self images from their dreams? I pity any dream unicorn equivalents who may have connected to *my* dreams and tried to manage that. I mean, not only am I usually not running around like me in real life in the current time, I'm not always even one of the protagonists.

They get paid in nubile virgins, same as dragons. Just less often -- once every leap year.

Also, just imagine if Night Stallion was looking for someone in a high population area!

And *this* is why you want Aesthetic Decoupling in your game. ^_^ *sage nod*

What DO unicorns get paid?!
Windscion
Um, no, she looks ridiculous. Like a caricature, because that's what that form is.
Serith
She doesn't look ridiculous! She looks awesome, and powerful, and very very sexy!
AstroChaos
Nah, like most folks he's just overworked and underpaid from the sounds of it

The unicorn is a jackass

...hmmm... Ok, technically, in the comic, the unicorn doesn't actually specify what they're looking for, just someone "suitable" and then they ran into someone else's dream magic. So you have leeway if the Unicorn isn't actually looking for Jay later.

The unicorn is definitely magic, but not so sure about the friendship part. :p
