[Aegis J Hyena]

The Altsplanation was fairly clear, I thought, on the fact that Sapphire isn't aware of her own condition, but Ruby and Onyx have probably figured it out. Thunt points out exactly how messed up this is, and I strongly suspect a Chekhov's Gun.

This. Something's going to snap and we're going to see the results.

[ForgetsOldName]

I hope the tattoos don't become a plot point. Why? Because so far they have only been addressed in the altsplanations, and I don't think key plot points should be confined to altsplanations.

[Bad At Jokes]

Just putting a new idea into the mix. Could Ruby trick Minmax into thinking she is Kin, it sounds farfetched but bare with me.

1. She has Kins necklace.
2. Minmax can only see things in purple.
3. She could say her item was a new set of armor.

I don't believe this will be the case but just throwing it in the mix.

[Earthen]

If Sapphire's "Forget Dead" tattoos do become a plot point, the comic itself will likely provide an explanation. Sapphire's Forgath could describe his handiwork after the reset.

He can see other things besides purple with his left eye, it's only his right that sees in purple shades.

Has that been explained or are you just assuming?

Geez. And I really liked Forgath. I think the Soothsayer's future is about to happen. Coming up on the time where the snakes are going to be hunted (group of kins) and there are a heck of a lot of dwarves in the Maze for Forgath to face off and die from.

What part of his right eye turns purple and he then says things look "purplish" (not purple, Purple-ISH, as in how you might describe suddenly having a purple piece of celophane over one eye, not both) makes you think his non-purple eye is affected?

[Insane Kitty]

People are thinking MinMax's weapon is a weird sword or axes, but what if it is claws that work off his improved unarmed strike?

[BuildsLegos]

That doesn't make sense because he clearly needs to grasp it, meaning he's armed.

"In D&D, new items can be like new characters. In this regard, a new "character" is introduced to the FMK party in tomorrow's update."

Puts the hand axe of MinMax's in another light, the one which can, if you look at it right, seems to be a smiling face on the side ...

[Starfire]

At first I thought Ruby nicked the necklace because she wanted something like our Kin had. She was jealous of Kin's ability to heal and thought by taking the necklace she would heal too... but then I read though all of these responses, and thought the O-hole is much more likely.

Now I'm sad.

Missed that one. Though now I look at the most recent page, I realized I was seeing it wrong, and that Minmax's dark purple strap thing is in fact NOT part of the weapon. Just four blades, three stacked and one little one joining them to the handle.... weird.

[teknojo]

I could see one of two things happening.

1. Ruby impersonating the real Kin.
2. Realizing that somehow the necklace is tied to her feelings for Minmax, she dumps the necklace into one of the oblivion holes. Thus forgetting that the necklace was given and both forgetting the feelings for each other. Now, while not completely full proof, since Kin realized Minmax had pants in a prior comic even after he threw them into the hole. There isn't anything really able to jog memory that Kin used to have a necklace, such as Minmax never wearing pants would do.

Wow... I was wondering what the heck Ruby could do to disrupt the relationship of the group. None of the things I could come up with, nor any of the things mentioned in the prior posts seemed plausible as things that could be done that would actually work.

But your number two turtlemonkey... that idea scares me, a lot. The vary concept of it made my brain twitch. Your mind is awesome, your idea terrifying. I hope Thunt goes with something else even though I think you hit it on the head.

Bleh...

The problem with the Ken necklace getting oblivion'd is that Kin will remember mentioning something that doesn't exist, and will be able to put together that it somehow got destroyed. That might cause some problems for Ruby.

[willpell]

I totally don't get the facial expressions in panel 7, ftr.

This reminds me all the explanations regarding the "axe of prissan".
It was necessary to understand what happened after, but I didn't like it.
I prefer , when the cartoon is self-sufficient. I'm not reading a regular book ...

But only if there was some major sign that she should have been wearing a necklace, like the string leaving a light mark or tan on her neck, and even then she could only know that she used to wear a necklace, not what it was or what it meant. Though the chain of events that resulted from it wouldn't be affected.

She still would have known that something had let her trust Minmax, that it had been important to him, and that it had been destroyed by Ruby. That's still enough to get her angry.

Kin's is a "you're screaming in my face" cringe. And Ruby's is a jaw drop + yelling (in Kin's face).

So either Minmax or Kin will get mad at the other?

Love will fuel hate?

EDIT: dammit, mentioned before. Missed it on my first read through.

Hey, just had a random theory pop into my head. What if Minmax's and Kin's love for one another (Which caused a bunch of problems for Psimax) has already fueled hate? Specifically, Psimax's hate of them; before that they were just another reality, but from that point on they became constant thorns in his side until his defeat.

Probably not what's going to happen, but I like randomly throwing out theories

[Raza]

I'm curious what'll happen with the tea pot exit and Kin's intention of asking Minmax and Forgath along.

Maybe sending them out with the teapot without winning the maze will create duplicates of them, with one set being teleported to the GAP for the confrontation with Kore while another gets re-popped in the maze with Kin and will eventually come out when they win it. If nothing else, this'd be a loophole for Forgath's death prophecy, much like Dies' got for his.

[Master TMO]

WMG: Maybe Kore has been through the Maze of Many, and they're near the entrance, and they somehow push him through it and he is vaporized by the paradox?

Nahhhh...
