i cant wait for evals Eric to get what he deserves.
Fixed it for ya'.
Unless you actually meant Evals...in which case I ask why you say that.
it was reasonable for him to want to escape but he didnt have to burn the ship with everyone on it including flora, who tried to help him, and mike, whos his friend.
kat likes eric so she wouldnt do it.
keith, natani, trace and flora need the ship to get to orchard valley so they wouldnt.
mike said he wouldnt rebel so it cant be him.
and also evals was found sleeping in a life boat.

We'll see what Tom has in his mind for the next page.. And yes. The way he writes the characters have changed. End of story. Time will tell.
I can also imagine that Evals has a lifeless kind of tone.

Birth.. Death.. That is the beggining of a life.. and the end of one. People celebrate birth, but fear inevitable death.. How courious.

Except Trace showed Eric that hedoes have the funds.Since Eric never responded, there still exists the possibility Eic would be willing to sell his slaves (if the amount satisfies his greed).Schrodinger wrote:

Jeez I go to bed, then go to classes and this thread already has 4 pages??
On Topic: Well, that's one way to get the truth out of someone, I'm partially hoping Eric removes the collar, though I already know he wont.

Eric is a business man, He doesn't let feelings get in the way to often except for Kat.

Re: Comic for February 29th, 2012
Ok so what if Evaks says he did not set the fire on the boat but also mentions that he saw the barrel dweller on the ship but didn't saying anything about it because he was taking his nap, what would possibly happen then?

Re: Comic for February 29th, 2012
I know it's been mentioned before, but I really don't get why Evals is goin' all tranquil on us. He clearly still had emotions with the collars on before the blast and if it was some sort of improved control spell then why didn't Eric mention it? Plus in the last comic Eric said he was going to make them go "back to normal". Or maybe i'm reading too much into it and Evals is just depressed about the collar.
Anyway, do we get it now guys? It really is the only way to know the truth. It doesn't matter if there's no proof, when there's only two suspects the concept of "proof" is practically irrelevant. I didn't know before that putting the collar on would make him answer truthfully, now that I do I would probably do the same thing in Eric's position.

Re: Comic for February 29th, 2012
Personally, I feel that the rason Eric isn't prepared to sell them (And recall, he did say that even if Trace had enough money, they weren't for sale... that Trace then said he had oodles, if they'd go over here, shouldn't really change that.), is becuase he has genuinely grown attached to their company and having them about on his ship.
Yes, he's a slaver, and trades in such, but we've seen clearly that he doesn't LIKE the control spells, and uses them on the slaves he's trading as necessity only.... not defending the industry at all, just noting that eric is complicit in it as a follower, not a leder: If slavery was outlawed, he probably wouldnt' object as fiercely as some seem to think, especially if he could still have alucrative source of income, free reign to travel the world, and ready access to pretty, pretty girls to pose for him... I think, in fact, that if he could have all of those thigns without the slavery aspect, he'd jump at it.
So, I thnk he's unwilling to sell them for any cost, ebcuase he likes haivng htem about.. almsot for hte same reason he'd never dream of selling Kat, though, obviously, not as strongly.
This elads me to think that they might reach some sort of compromise where Eric is forced, uncomfortably, to admit that he just plain wants them to stay; they're his best and favourites, and that haivng admitted as much, we may end up with them Free, but still working for Eric.
Unfortunately, after Eric so firmly replacing the collar on Evals, no matter that his reasons are purely driven by needing to know an absolute truth, I'm having a harder time imaging Evals acceptinghtat compromise... Mike though, certainly.

Re: Comic for February 29th, 2012
If Eric inspires such friendship with his slaves, why did he immediately suspect Evals as the vandal that caused the fire? Why not any of the acquaintances that have been traveling on his ship? The answer is simple; because he believes that without the control spells, his slaves would immediately rebel, sabotage, or escape at the soonest possible convenience. If he truly treated his slaves as friends, equals, or even pets, he'd have no reason to fear such a thing. And Eric talks the talk when it comes to how evil he believes his control spells to be, but when you get right down to it the only reason he doesn't have one on Kat is because she's a favorite of his (that, or he doesn't think he needs one...).Niara wrote:Personally, I feel that the rason Eric isn't prepared to sell them (And recall, he did say that even if Trace had enough money, they weren't for sale... that Trace then said he had oodles, if they'd go over here, shouldn't really change that.), is becuase he has genuinely grown attached to their company and having them about on his ship.

So no, Eric's refusal to sell his slaves does not stem from some deep emotional attachment. At best, he simply doesn't want to give up two very competent sailors (two people running an entire ship? That's pretty darn impressive). At worst, he doesn't want to relenquish his control over two living beings he's dominated for years now. Notice he asks Evals, "Did you set fire to my ship?" The "my" is in bold and signifies force behind the word, and there's a reason for such emphases. He's not mad because he thinks Evals tried to kill everyone on board, he's angry because he thinks Evals dared to defy him and attempted to destroy his ship and kill him.
In short, he might treat his slaves decently, but only because he can both afford to do so and it satisfies his need to exert control over everything. If Eric were to refuse to sell Mike and Evals despite a hefty amount of money offered, it would be to satisfy his megalomania. And the reason he's so determined to find out for sure if Evals started the fire is because he's scared-no, terrified of his slaves turning on him and loosing control.
