(Re: vote incentive)
What DOES Jonan's voice sound like then? I've imagined him sounding like Frollo ever since that Halloween comic.

Ditto. If not an exact match then certainly something in that range.

Haha! With the caveat that you can imagine these characters sounding however you like since the canon-ness of vote incentives isn't set in stone, I actually tend to imagine Jonan as having a more high pitched voice -- more of a Jafar evil laugh than a Doctor Horrible evil laugh. (my vague voice headcanons for everyone are on tumblr here)

Aaaaaah love the little mention of jonan's voice in the vote incentive, glad that even Sev had imagined it would be deeper. XP

Also, this can't end well. *covers eyes*

I was taught a story about our Lord Odin, where He was posing as a passing traveler and offered to sharpen several farmer's scythes as payment for his night's lodgings. Seeing how well the magic hone Odin used worked to make their blades sharper, the farmers all began demanding that He hand it over. Instead He went out into the middle of a field and cried, "The stone belongs to He who can catch it!" while tossing the hone high into the air. All of the farmers ran to catch the hone, but in their hurry, impaled each other on their newly sharpened scythes. By the time the hone came down, only Odin himself was alive to catch it. Lesson: Don't run with scythes, kiddies.

Oh what a convenient anti-magic circle, let's all get inside. What could go wrong, Xira, don't be such a crybaby!
OH WOOPS!
Also, it would be really convenient if it supressed the magic inside their hair so it would be un-colored. Oh well, can't have everything. Also we need to move this story forward, huh?
Xira's expression in panel 2: "Oh no. I hate to deal with when people I magically manipulated realize I manipulated them and get all pissed off. SO annoying! UGH!"

But, the streak in his hair is gone... no witch here, no sirree.

I dunno about that.... Sev and Jonan still have green and red, respectively!
posted at 10:44pm on May 30th, 2017
Out of curiosity, if they cut their hair while inside the anti-magic field, would the tips still recolor immediately?

lots of people are still suspicious of Xira and his tele-pal but like,, how can you be suspicious of a guy who without magic literally can't lie to save his life omg Xira someone help him...

THE FACES! OMG! THE FACES!
I feel like I am missing some critical information, are willows the runeverse equivelent of mermaids or something else?

Yeah, they're a fairy-tale creature! x3 Tareth talked about them here, they're the focus of her Supernatural Teen Romance series.

I don't get the "half-trader" comment. It makes it sound like "trader" is a culture or ethnic group.
Did I miss something about this, somewhere?
posted at 10:26am on June 5th, 2017
I don't think you missed anything -- but you're correct! Traders/Alaqans are another one of those things where Varænski folks tend to call these people something simple instead of learning their own name for their country.
in the comic, Xira's been referred to as a Trader a couple of times, but it hasn't been explicitly described as his race -- while I guess it'd be weird for someone who doesn't know him to assume that's his occupation, it's only really been spelled out in vote incentives!
