I like how they immediately rule out drunk and switch to mentally impared. Yes, this is Soooooo much better.
And you know what? Riley *is* hot. Schedule her for surgery and bring on the half-elf s3xx0rs.
No thanks, I'll keep Riley anatomically correct.
My first thought on this comic: do the half-elves of Santuariel know that Tsuirakushiti is decloaked yet, or is the last thing the heard of it "our fabulous floating half-elven city disappeared and then Elves started killing us"?
If the former, they're just a little incredulous that someone way the heck over in the Confederacy came all the way from Tsuiraku. If the latter, they're in for some big learnin's when they discover the fate of their lost city.
Which raises an interesting question. Why aren't there more half-elves in Tsuirakushiti, if it was full of them when it disappeared? Did the Elves come through and kill them all since the Hideaki incident, or what? That seems rather unlikely...
EDIT: On a similar note, why doesn't Tsuirakushiti have better records of past history than their pseudoscientific BS that Meji has spouted? Shouldn't they have been the bastion of civilization while hiding away inside their little cloaking field? Did something happen in Tsuirakushiti to wipe out not only the Elven history books they should have had when they went into hiding, but also all the half-elves in the city?
(I think it's some nice poetic irony [?] that so much of the current state of affairs results from someone trying to do what Meji is trying to do. Hideaki's one little experiment broke down the Elven barrier, decloaked Tsuirakushiti, and started the Mage-Priest Wars... and he didn't even succeed at what he was trying to do).
EDIT PART DEUX: I apparently am an idiot when I am tired, and conflated Hideaki's stunt with Veracia's sending of Luminosity to say Hi to the Elves. Hideaki was apparently after the latter incident, as otherwise Tsuirakushiti would still be cloaked and the Mage-Priest Wars could not have ensued. Makes me wonder where exactly this mass of energy that is Luminosita lives now, after the Elven Barrier incident, and how Hideaki managed to get there to try to suck Him off. I'd think the place, wherever it is, would be a bit more heavily guarded than the Heretic Knowledge Vault was).
