Volume 8 Bonus Story: Pencils
Shaenon: Right now we’re working on the bonus stories for Skin Horse Volumes 7 and 8. Here’s a page from the Volume 8 story, set in Aimee’s VR world shortly after the events in “Fun for Some.” Jeff likes to write stories with unicorns.
Channing: I do. I really do.
It is always a delight to see Shaenon bring my silly words to life.
Wonder if he’d be impressed with Original Nick winning the tourney?
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to mention that the Nick copy, Nickette, and two Baron Mistycorn’s are probably playing four player games together, but the question is: what would they play?
Are you sure you want to know what games? Is there enough mice bleach to erase the image?
Mice bleach?
Curse you, Once Upon a Forest!
Alphaghoul: Parcheesi, of course! This really is a kids’ sim.
“Water Polo.” “Pony Island.” “My Little Pony, Friendship Is Fighting.” “Barbie Horse Adventures.” “Unicorn Jelly.” “Robot Unicorn Attack.” “Little Alchemy 2.”
And last but not least,
“Charlie The Unicorn Dating Simulator.”
All of these are actual things that exist, and would sound perfectly innocent if it weren’t for all the typographical air quotes.
Whoops, meant to reply this to OneUniverse’s reply to Alphaghoul talking about what 4-player games they’d play online, and all the brain bleach needed to cope with the answer.
“They’ve got virtual cheetos, but they’re not the same thing.”
Anything as long as they’re not “Doritos VR Battle” Doritos
If the sim serves digital bubble tea, does the sim have digital restrooms?
probably, but when you step in, everything gets pixelated for some reason
