Aaaaw hell yes! All this group interactions might be my new favourite thing  ;D (sorry blorp troll reactions, you're still cool, but well…..)
This is a scene set in Norway in summer, a giant has been flushed out and is chasing a team back to base.  Here we see Karri holding open the door to the electric fence, Fenris is almost in, followed by Fimbulvarg, with Gwenno bringing up the rear after a valiant attempt at a flanking manuoevre.  Piney is calling back to the outpost to time the switching on of the electricity.  (Why is Piney in Norway? Dunno, leave me alone.)  Haiz and Almond Goddess have a plan, though - the falcon is to take a rock and drop it on the giant's main head from a great height.  But this is no ordinary rock, now that Haiz has cast a rune upon it for unerring accuracy and deadly effect, while not harming the falcon who must carry it.  (The off-duty personnel are not in uniform.)

This one! I love how totally plausible the scenario is (says she talking about characters from a made up part of a fictional story  ::) ) You've got everyone acting very true to character (as far as I can tell anyway), and we're all looking pretty darn cool to boot :P

RTR - some real funny comics you've been providing, thank you for the laughs  :D The troll chase and daiseerose's ssssona's ambulance run are golden, and I was real glad nobody was around I'd need to explain why I was laughing to :P

Almond-Goddess - It's looking so super pretty but also kinda melancholy? Gargh, now it's got me feeling melancholy as well, stupid well conveyed emotions in a good picture!

Feartheviolas - Excellent use of demon cats :P I've got to agree with the others that it somehow really is adorable! That's some real nice colouring as well

Kicknrun - Shall we call this particular manoeuvre "pulling a Reynir"? Lets hope your silent world endeavours work out a little better :P Also, I agree, that's a pretty good "oh crap" face Jesty has going for her in the second panel



Estimated outcome: an all out battle involving Gwenno in usual berserk mode.


Bah! Poor Lára having to deal with Laufeytroll's hugging :P Well at least everyone made it out alive in the end and that's actually pretty informative and useful for us troll hunters! I'm also loving how my ssssona has become so tall in all these comics  ;D and berserk mode? HELLZ YEAH! (Also I would like to at this point deny that Fimbulvarg's current state has anything to do with the fact that he thought it would be funny to pull my braids at training that morning, although I'll spread a general caution to everyone - leave the braids alone!)

Haha, it wasn't something I'd intended on happening :) it kinda developed itself in the way people saw her, and then the way I saw her as well so I figured might as well roll with it because it actually suits REALLY WELL (I think you are also familiar with characters developing themselves beyond your control :P), and having a berserk in a troll hunting squad seems like it would have so many fun possibilities, so yeah it is now TOTALLY A THING!

(*Looks in an other direction with application* I don't see what you're talking about... Which "control" ?) *Relieved* I was thinking "Is that a mistake ? Yes, no, maybe ?" :P

Okay, so I've tried to draw/design the 'sonas for SectoBoss (Julian Adamsson) and Emil (you gotta write a bio now, dude)!
emphasis on tried, tell me if you want something different!

SectoBoss, who has already written that fantastic hair dye conversation between Julian and Haiz


Emil, to whom I've probably promised 20 drawings in the past

you'll know where to find me.

Well, now I’ve taken a moment to dance around my kitchen in happiness, I feel I have calmed down enough to respond coherently.
I love it! Love it to bits! You’ve absolutely nailed Julian’s ‘what the heck is this?’ expression – an expression I’ve pulled myself quite a lot in labs over the years. And the SSSS insignia on the pocket! I need to put that on my own lab coat now…
Thank you so much!

Hah, beat you to it! :P (the other people in the lab thought it was a flower though  >:( )


On a less obnoxious note those are some nice design pictures Haiz ^_^ very mad scientist there and gotta agree with SectoBoss, the expression is brill! Can't say much about Emil (as you mentioned, no bio yet), but the jingly stuff at the belt look fun and it is good floofy hair :P The pics have a lot of personality to them

hah, I actually think it was your labcoat that inspired me to draw that insignia on the pocket!
and thank you! I think maybe I fluffed up both of their hair more than I was supposed to, but... fluffy hair...... it's the SSSS-verse............

i am incredibly sensitive when it comes to spicy food, even by norwegian standards. so this is incredibly accurate, and i will most certainly be very wary about letting you cook again, rune theft or not

(by 'genuine' old world dish, do you mean there's like. a bit of leftover year 0 chili in it or something)

also wow it's time for bed, goodnight

Chili wouldn't last that long, don't be gross.
The spice mix is indeed gen-yoo-ine Year 0, though.

Careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I was really confused, and then realized that you probably meant this
