Should have seen that coming, no?

Wonder what he'll try to do there?

I see two possibilities here.

One, he healed who he could and will see his sister, and then kill himself for it not being enough

or

Necromancy HO! (or necrophiliac incest.. but that's more of a SexyLosers thing..)

I think it'll be a quiet goodbye followed by Necromancy when he thinks about it a little.

the "…Then I promise I'll get some rest." part sounds really ominous... like if he's basically telling them, "yeah, i'm going to head up to the hill, pay my respects, and then i'll eat my pistol. after all this BS, that oughta be 'rest' enough..."

Everything that led up to the current state of affairs for all the major characters thus far, largely involved Ian wanting to save his sister, and now that's been shattered. He has nothng left, and nowhere to go. at best, he's got 3 companions, but still no purpose or direction. his life, essentially, came to an abrupt end the moment he returned to Santauriel. All that he probably feels is left for him to do is join his family for the last time...

Ian didn't do it. (yet).

there's still time.

So far, Ian hasn't acted crazy enough to wake the dead. Be really cool if he did it accidentally while saying goodby to his sister.

Public Health note: Tsaiaku being a long-hidden city, it makes sense that cremation would be its normal way of disposing of the corpus delecti.

Hmmm . . . what about the rest of humanity? Either they also cremate, or Meji is even more ignorant and unobservant of the world she's traveling in than she's already shown. Graveyards are conspicuous landmarks in rural areas.

Practically speaking, while crypts and graveyards are standard settings for supernatural adventure, you would expect a world where magic is common to have strict rules about the disposal of remains. Why deliberately put the remains of your loved ones somewhere where necromancers and various evil creatures are likely to violate or use them?

Another possibility: he simply goes up there to mourn, is followed by the mob that wants him to heal them, pops his cork over being disturbed in his grief, and incinerates a bunch of them -- thereby completing his transformation from Good Guy to Bad Guy in the eyes of the crowd.

Leah looks weird without glasses.

Ian looks tired.

Meji looks like she misses her cat.

Riley looks hot, until you remember...

Do not extrapolate the usual fantasy world to the 'real' world. Where have we seen these supposed conspicuous landmarks? This comic seems to suggest cremation is a common practice, burial being something the elves do.

Also, I don't think he's going to try necromancy just yet. It might plant a seed in his thoughts, but he's too cool atm to risk it without some preparation. By caring about risk, I mean failure, not the risk of death.

If Ian is going to try and wake the dead, maybe he should get some rest first.

So, when are they going to look for the resting place of Senilis?

Wake the dead? What are the odds on an attempted resurrection here?

Fairly high if you ask me.

I have to say I wouldn't be surprised if cremations fairly common in this world on the other hand Meiji hasn't actually seen that many towns and was usually running away from or towards something when she did so she may have either (a) missed the graves or (b) thought they were something else simply a memorial for example with no body inside them.

As for purposes in life as I said Meiji does need a new class project since he got to the godpower before her.

You're saying she won't get an A for studying the effects on one's magic casting abilities caused by being regularly injected with the bodily fluids of a humanoid possessed by a god?

I don't think she'll be doing that after he's kissed/whatever the dead corpse of his sister.

Everyone wishes to bring back those they love. It's just that Ian may actually be able to do it.

I wonder, with the power of a true goddess in him, can he bring back the dead completely, or will it be a crude interpretation of his image of that person?


Methinks Poe has read his Bible well...

I don't know how up to date Poe is on his bible but he's certainly thought out his world well so he'll probably know what he's doing.

Hey, yeah! Maybe Ellis will stumble into it and become an all powerful being - of course, the sleeping deities urges cause Ian and Ellis to become horribly attracted to each other, and then when the inevitable occurs (preferably with cheesy porn music) Mejii walks in on them. EVERYONE WINS!

Okay, so I just want Ellis to die horribly in a fireball. So what?
