If you wanna join a group chat, but discord isn't your thing or if you just wanna join another mesaging server as well, there's one for Telegram as well! https://t.me/joinchat/QhOfbfbgdSE1ZTg8 If you're interested in the theories people have been making out of this mystery and porn comic, and want to get a better idea of what's going on, or what MIGHT be going on, I've made a document to keep track of these theories as well! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1McEHMW4DL_MixRg_iBkqi64I2Br7pTZU3EW2t9G5kts/edit?usp=sharing

Private Orpheus Bladetongue- It's becoming a drive now, a desire... You want to find your Coach. You miss him. You miss him so much it hurts. You can't explain it but he feels like he is hurt, alone, friendless... you have to find him. Bring him back to the fire. If you can remember where you saw him last, that is where you are going.

Robert Smith

ALSO DANG WHAT AN INTERESTING RESET TO THE BOARD. There is a lot to think about, and a lot of new players and agents... And that strange woman in the dream... very very interesting

Wolfstar

Reboot, and a landslide of new characters! I love this comic so much! x3

alpha reaperion

*the white fox rubs his chin curiously* “How interesting” he mused, suddenly getting a message in his head, informing him that the pigs were dangerous. “Well howdy neighbour, I’d reckon it’s a beautiful night, wouldn’t yiubsay?” The perfect neighbour asked, his face never shifting. “It’s a somewhat... stranger, night than any other, if you ask me” Agent K chuckles

Khorax

Amazing! I love the direction where this is going. So interesting. I wonder what will happen to the town of Dusk Acres, now that everyone is becoming Dads, as they should. Edit: I'm not sure what I'd be doing during all this time, other than obeying commands, spreading the corruption and making some MEAN BBQ. I suppose I'm ceding space for the new players on the field. This has been a great fresh new adventure!

Crowbar

Yay Agent Y is alive! Also I am confused as fuck!!

Randastasius

(holy shit this is crazy god I can’t wait to see what happens next). Rand Blackwood pulls into the parking lot of the motel, for his shift at the motel. “Can’t believe Ricky never called me in for my shift, what the hell is happening with him?” He gets out of his car, lighting a joint while heading in to the motel, leaving his car unlocked. (Rand is a stocky 5’6” tall black wolf. He wears a sleeveless muscle shirt with a skull on the front and blue jeans. He is blunt and speaks his mine not giving a shot what people think. He usually has a who cares demeanor, but is willing to help other in need.)

Johnnyblushoes

aaaaaaa this is so good I am so excited and anxious at the same time! Also surely with all the crazy sexy shit happening in town, whoever ended up stuck inside would be looking for some sort of safehouse right? Say a genre saavy lynx named Jake in a green vest suit heading to a certain diner or motel? but yeah this story is amazing and I wanna be a part of it so bad and see what happens next, sorry for fanboying. jake: Sneaking through the back alleys of town towards the motel and diner* Gods above what's going on around here? I set my alarm a bit too early and suddenly everyone is getting turned into a buncha big cigar chomping sex pots! And where the hell is the sheriff?? I gotta find a way outta here. Maybe those government dudes I've heard about are still around here and won't be trying to get my pants off. *getting near motel entrance* ...is that a deputy getting sucked off by count dracula???

AnotherMeekOne

Agent T: "Sorry boss, last thing I remember is dragging you to the elevator. Nothing after that." He looks over the lion. "I'm guessing it didn't go well... Ah fuck, my hair..." Agent T pauses, rubbing his shaved head. "Whatever happened, they didn't infect us. Patched our wounds and dressed us up, it looks like..." Agent T stands near Agent Y, looking past the confines of their prison. "Contact anyone? Anyone contact us?"

Shits gone down hard and fast it seems. Also wow they have such limited area to work with. I really enjoy this update cause youd think losing base was a low point but man its gone deeper. Also i see some new faces!! :3 Probably will wait too see what you do with my skunk! But regardless know you have a skunk on the case to find those missing agents!

Love this reset! Can't wait to see what happens with the remaining agents and with all of the civilians we're being introduced to. Great as always, BC!

I have absolutely no idea what is going on but HOORAY, UPDATE

The FID are slowly spreading their influence and covering up their tracts. P.S. WTF Really like the excitement but this is pure chaos, I'm lost again but while going through some theories can just sit back and enjoy the ride.

A chubby dark-brown grizzly bear(my sona without the eyes, wearing a black hoodie, grey shorts,and black diamond ear piercings) walks away from the local drugstore, holding a bottle of over-the-counter pills in one hand, his forehead on the other, "Extra strength huh? Hopefully this helps somewhat." He looks down the street ahead,"Fuck's sake...first the rumors of some sort of secret cult or whatever in town, then people start transforming, and in between all that I got a brutal headache that just won't go away. What the hell is up with this town? Oh well, maybe this'll all blow off after some rest." As he's walking, he takes his hand off of his head. He notices something on the back of it,"Hey, how long has this tiny grey spot of fur been here...? Two large shadowy figures can be seen following him on the distance... [This is getting intense! Another great update BC ^.^]

Crowbar

I think Orlock Begosi proves the theory that the new "identities" the transformation turns you into are meant to be rather shallow charactures of people, not real people or their "true selves". Dude has turned into a walking Halloween costume heh. But for what purpose? I guess it makes them easy puppets, and a more functional army than a bunch of brainless walking undead would be. I feel like there has to be more to it to that though, but I can't figure out why. Also strikes me as strange how they deliberately tried to transform Allister into a mindless puppet like the "Coach" before, like all the other mooks, given how he's supposed to be the Cannibal King. So many questions.

Kageichi

Octavius Bunsen Redmire: Gotta say, neighbors. I'm truly happy to have join this lovely town. Such welcoming people yall are, I'm gonna love this town. ???: K. Hey K! The hell is this? And when did you get the beard? Octavius: Hm? K? That's an odd name. Who said that? ???: Fucking hell, they really did a number on you didn't they? Still, I don't mind the free ass you've gotten to fuck. Makes it easier to come out Octavius: What is...? *Octavius drifts off when his eyes suddenly turn red and a grin grows on his face* Red: Alright... time for Mr. Red to play.

Robert Smith

I think there is division in the cult- one side doesn't want a cannibal king

*Agent I gulps at the mention of being a roasted penguin. honestly hoping he ment the innuendo of being spit roasted and noot actually cooked. he tries to go in and check in on Allister.* "Uh.. can I.. just.. go check.. on Allister.. privately?" *Agent I tries to go into the bathroom and close the door. locking it and trying to hushly talk to allister about what to do. informing him that some agents are safe. Q tried to contact. and will be leaving a note for people to find them.*

(Whoa, so much new information! And so many gorgeous new character designs <3 Agent T looks fucking hot in that bowtie x3 So in the first panel I take it Otis wife, the boar lady with long black hair, made a point to escort some children out of Dusk Acres as all this shit is going down, right?) OB;AW - You've gotta help spread the power of the light, use your L33T hacking skills to boost the range of the new mad chips (while eating some cheesy puffs and getting your dick sucked, of course).

AHHH i can't believe i'm gonna be able to have a role in this(off screen squad HELL YEAH). Absoutley loving the psuedo apocyalpse we got going in Dusk Acres. The tone is perfect and things are truly entering the darkest hour in the best way imagineable. Super hyped for what too come and even more hyped at being able to play a role in it.

Hmm, just occurred to me, we need to see Agent S. If this signal is Daddifying everybody with a chip, he's either been betrayed or they must have given him something to make him immune. Also how did Sheriff Write hurt his eye?

prescott

(Continuing from my last reply with Agent P from a few updates ago with a small change or two since I've got no ideas for the others) Agent P: After hiding for a few more hours, unknowingly missing the downpour from RK turning the sprinklers on, Agent P pushed out from the vent and closet. There was a distinct smell of burning plastic, and a heavy silence. Just a few hours before, hearing the moans and groans of the changing agents once he had opened the door, forced him back into hiding. It seemed to be non-stop issues lately, between these brutes causing mayhem and the loss of the Director. P left the break room, peeking around corners like he was on an episode of Scooby Doo. His phone would have made a good flashlight but it was close to dead, he needed the charge to reach out and find some kind of safety. The small otter explored the now ruined Apex Facility, keeping an ear out for any and all sounds. His hairs were on end and his mouth was sealed shut. He had to find the other Agents... If there were any left.

Probably Allister decked him before shutting himself off in the bathroom

//Brilliant update as usual BC, so many things going on at once rhat I'm really excited and anxious to see what happens! *Avoiding the main streets so no one saw him, the large figure did what he could to make his way around town. He just felt something was off as he left the apartment he was staying in, his feeling right due to all of the strange looking men around he definitely didn't want to see. The hood of his trench coat up so no one really saw him* (my sona, big dragon with red and grey scales and black markings, named Zero) "Hmm... This isn't good..." *The dragon thought hoping other people were safe somewhere as he head towards the closest building being the diner, seeing that it was only a block or two away*

Heccin amazing update! Loving the new characters too, it's gonna be amazing seeing where this goes! and, because 3rd time's the charm: ____ In the corner of the Diner parking lot, a figure can be seen hunched against a wall and coughing up a storm. A pillow of smoke is emanating from the popped hood of an adjacent truck. Standing upright, the illumination of a close-by streetlamp reveals a burly cat, Rogan, wearing a dressy shirt and some deep black pants, as he swishes back and forth with a towel to try and dissipate the plumes. “Damnit… Just my luck, ain’t it? Always end up getting the lemons…” In frustration, he kicks the front of the truck, before leaning back against the passenger side. He grips onto his head, taking a few deep breaths. All his problems and now some voice is making his head pound. “Car’s busted, no phone, talk of crazies in town, now I’m hearing things… Really in the shitter now, ain’t I? Moving here was definitely a mistake.“ Rogan takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh, pulling a locket out from his pocket as the headlights of a van shine across him while it pulls into the lot. Given the sounds, he’s not the only one with car troubles tonight. “Sorry Champ, looks like I’m takin’ another rain check. I promise. When all’s set and done, I’m gonna come visit. Come hell or high water, I’m gonna see you again.”

Meek(scrunkles)

I'm not sure how she's manifested at this stage but her return is definitely welcome...

Crowbar

I'm beginning to think Apex is part of/responsible for the Cult. This update we have the shadowy secret agent type character marked with the red church logo. They <i>appear</i> to be suppressing the spread of information of Dusk Acre's takeover (though its a little confusing because the same video seems to be uploaded at two locations??). We also saw that weird church logo used used on APEX computers, when trying to access the chip memory of BN. APEX being part of the cult would raise a lot of questions - why did they place a bunch of SNF sleeper agents to work against them. But it would answer a big question of why/how so many Cauterized/SNF members seemed to go missing with no kidnapping report. Only a super spy organization like APEX would be able to suppress information like that. It could also partially explain why the kidnap victims we got were targeted and not suppressed, because APEX wanted them to be found out to draw Allister in.

Robert Smith

I think the SNF went in to try and stop APEX- which is why we saw Otis imaging the bunker. But then when they planned to take out the rest, something happened, APEX realised what was up, and converted the SNF into their minions to continue what they were doing This update, APEX were forced to involve themselves because the cult position was about to end things- they set off the sprinklers, freed some of the SNF, and ensured whatever was going on here continued.

RosePinkOso

Great update as usual, BC! Ever update gets me on edge. Im just going to be stuck anticipating whats next for Allister.

Things are getting really heated up right now, I'm curious as to where everything is headed! Also, I love just how gigantic W is now. He's perfect, keep it up BC! 🤩

Incredible. So much is happening and its all so good. I think I need to reread this from the beginning. Poor poor Agent R, looks what's happened to you, you were so suave and now you're in the gutter.. and your paw is on fire! I've got to say that Bus driver girl is cute as heck, you really do draw great women characters BC.

Its the DIRECTOR! I'm happy to see em both back although it looks like they are in for a surprise with the outfits they are wearin, hopefully they can figure something out (Edit addition, if my bear were to enter the story, I'd be happy to be working under Agent S either as a civ or anything else, help make those moves)

Fitch, bleary eyed with thermos of coffee in one hand and keys in the other, stops in the doorway as he sees the diner is populated. After a beat, his eyes narrow, “Okay. Who the fuck are you and how did you… Actually, nope, it’s too early in the morning for this, tell me why I shouldn’t call the cops on you for breaking and entering and also probably vandalism. You better have not broken a window or some shit.” Though he pauses for a moment at spotting the nurse among the unfamiliar group, “Uh… wait. You’re… Jane, right? Why the hell are you hanging out with a bunch of suits? … And why are they even here in the first place? Kinda early for your usual cup.”

A young Guinea Pig pulls his minivan into a gas station on the outskirts of town. A traveling salesman, ignorant of the chaos brewing in this town and simply hoping to sell some gardening supplies and pay off his debt to this stupid pyramid scheme he fell for. He needs to fill his tank and look at a place to sleep for the night, and then maybe he can find someone to sell this crap to, but first: "Rulk, please let this place have a public restroom..."

The bear/fox's eyebrows jump up at the lights flip on, and he turns to see the two enter the diner. (Lord In Winter, we're definitely fucked. ...I've only got so much battery power, but if we need to run or fight-) He presses a metal square on a band against the underside his left wrist, which has a rough symbol scratched onto the face. He mutters under his breath like he doesn't even realize he's doing so: "Take from me the day's heat, That I might be hardened against harm, And exert my will unimpeded." The square slowly grows colder and chills the blood running through his wrist, gradually cooling his body.* He takes a breath, and- "We were assured UNINTERRUPTED use of this premesis until 2200 hours by Sherrif Wright! Rulkdammit! Someone get these bozos some NDA forms! You two, hand over your phones and siddown!" Under his suit, he's sweating and trying not to let on that he's almost completely winded from that tirade. (I'm still so warm... haven't had a real chance to cool down. This place probably has a walk-in freezer, right...?) *This is a real device to help people with medical problems regulate body temperature, not a magic thing.

I don’t know what to put for a command, but I’ll include this in case the situation comes up. *If W sees that traitor S* Cdr. Backbreaker: Hey, you, bear. You seem… familiar, but I cannot quite remember. Whenever I look at you, I get this feeling of anger boiling inside me. Hmm, regardless, you better watch yourself bear or you might get subjected to one of my “Backbreaker hugs”. Just in case Shakespearean: Ho, thee, bear. Thee seemeth… familiar, but I cannot quite recall. Whenev'r I behold at thee, I receiveth this humour of snuffs boiling inside me. Hmm, regardless, thee better gaze yourself bear 'r thee might receiveth subject'd to one of mine own “Backbreaker hugs”.

for reference, Jake is about 6"5',a bit lanky with sandy brown fur messy head hair, a white dress shirt, and green vest and suit pants. He's somewhat promiscuous and a lot snarky/sarcastic, and usually knows how to find *some* way out of any given situation.

Protean

If the Sheriff reserving the building thing goes through: Fitch bristles at the mention of the Sheriff, unintentionally baring his fangs. Was that striped asshat really trying to pull this kind of bullshit on a law student? He read through municipal law codes when he got bored. And he knew how to deal with surly possibly law officers after all those protests he'd been to. Fitch brings out his phone, beginning a recording in case those jerks tried something stupid. He definitely wasn't handing over anything to them! "Rrrr... that asshole can get fucked! Unless you've got paperwork for a state of emergency being declared from the county office, he doesn't have the authority to commandeer this privately owned property! And he definitely hasn't given the owner any prior notice if it wasn't commandeering! I've had enough of that jerk coming in here and causing trouble, if he's trying to ruin my day *again* with some idiotic stunt, I'm reporting all of you to the state police oversight committee and you can bet I'm gonna follow up to make sure you're all put on probation! You have no idea how much proof of misconduct I've been compiling to report..."

MdHatter

I'm honestly kinda torn. On one hand, they are dressed in speedos like sexy call bunnies; but on the other, I'm nervous about the fact they have been shaved and are locked up instead of turned. I want to protect the Director so much, we must save him if he's in more danger than it seems.

[OOC: OOOOH A LOT going down, here - thank you for your hard work] The bear in the van is starting to feel a little sick as the heat builds and that voice, that pull, begins to grow stronger. Oh Rulk… this is what all those other people felt before they transformed, isn’t it? He knows instinctively that whatever’s happening, he doesn’t have much time – he and his companion have to act fast. [Thinking] “Rulk… my head—that voice is getting louder… so- so hot… am I getting a fever? What the hell is happening to me…? I need to get out of here! But the van’s screwed… no, there’s no way I’d make it if I tried to run out of town on foot. Maybe this guy’s right—" [Spoken, to his raccoon companion] “Yeah—let’s try the diner. Gonna be honest, I’m starting to feel kind of woozy here; not sure I can run very far… staying indoors until whatever this is calms down might be the best idea.”

(Since Patron keeps eating my comment I'm gonna split it in two.) Agent R - ...Is this how its supposed to work?... or has something gone wrong?... It's hard to think... its hard to breathe... you're paralyzed, trapped inside your own body in some kind of half-awake dream... nightmare... Its hard to describe what you're experiencing, its as if you've got two minds, experiencing two realities at once... part of you is floating in a void, a dark place covered in shadows that seem to twitch and move in the peripheral of your vision... the other half... is like a passenger, experiencing the world though the eyes of this imposter who stole your body... You can feel what he feels... what he's thinking... at times its hard to tell if a thought is his or yours. You keep trying to retake control, move your arms about, shout... but nothing is working. Focusing all your concentration, you think you can make your finger move, just a little, but you can't really be sure if it was you or him moving. A frightening thought passes though your mind... what if you're stuck like this forever...

Anonymous

It's hot... disgustingly hot in the void... like a sauna, or sitting slightly too close to an invisible bonfire... you constantly feel suffocated by the heat. Like its trying to burn away your soul. There is no floor in this void to stand on, but you have a disconcerting feeling that at any moment the darkness might just absorb you... if you let it... But your rage keeps you going. Any time you feel like slipping away you remember the betrayal, what they've done to you, how they killed the Director. Your bones ache in a way they never did before as you begrudgingly get up from your spot on the sidewalk, you know you've got a job to do. You follow the van as it pulls up into the car park of the diner. You approach slowly, pretending to panhandle. Fresh meat or kindling, either is good. Your stomach growls, you're starving...

[INTRODUCING: Mansa “Manny” Haruna, an athletically built grey striped hyena. He wears a spiked leather jacket with a pierced nose as well as multiple on his ears. He’s in a band and plays the electric violin, cus he’s so cool he doesn’t care what you think of his instrument. He and his bandmates had just gotten a gig at a place in Dusk Acres, but before they could play the whole kinky apocalypse happened and he got separated from his friends. He is on his way back to the Cosey Hearth Inn to see if any of them made it back safely, since his phone is dead right now. He grew up enduring all the biases that came with being a Hyena, along with an over-controlling mother. He got a music scholarship but dropped out so he could create his own music. Things have not been great (well actually it’s been pretty terrible) but at least he can say for certain that it was HIS choices that got him here and no one else’s. He takes comfort in knowing that.]

* Manny was hiding in an ally when he notices a black rabbit sneaking around. When the rabbit gets close, the hyena grabs him, covering the rabbit’s mouth with his paw. * Manny: *Whispers in the bunny’s ear* be quiet, and don’t make a sound. *Then a few moments later, corrupted dilfs walk past where the rabbit had been walking, muttering non-sense about smoke, meat, and sex. When he was sure they were gone, he let the rabbit go. * Manny: Phew, that was a close one. You really should be more careful cottontail, or you would have been caught by those mad-kinksters.

Well damn, this got even crazier! Agent Q slips away and into one of the backrooms of the diner, to look for anything he could use as a makeshift weapon. The kitchen has knives, spatulas and frying pans. The janitor's closet has a broom and mop. He looks anxious Agent Q: Alright. It's now or never To Allister: Agent, if you're out there, please report back. We're using Bolt Bunny's Dynamic Diner as a command center, can you reach us? What's the status of Sir A Ravenly's book? If you don't respond, I'll do what I can to get to you. Agent Q lowers his voice, careful not to let anyone overhear him. To Agent U: U, I have to try and get out of here. I need to find out if Allister and Agent I are alright, and I *need* to get to that book. I'd like you to join me. From one carnivore-chaser to another, I have a crazy idea and I need all the help I can get... I suspect there's a spell that could get the cauterized on our side...

Jackson (But mainly goes by Jack): His bear companion doesn't look too hot right now, infact those voices he's complaining about seem to be making him feel really bad. He didn't know the bear too well since he moved out of the town when Jack, Ricky, and Damien were all pretty young. But he still felt a bit of a bond, the type you get from being in a close nit small town. "Yeah big guy, let's keep calm. It's kind of early, but Lyle and Fitch work the morning shift at the diner, bet they would be kind enough to let us in! Maybe let us have some coffee early and clear out minds..." The raccoon had to admit, the fog and the voices were getting to him as well but no where near as bad as how his bear companion looked, he needed to be strong right now. He really wanted to find Damien and Ricky, and Jane hadn't responded to any of his messages. Jackson parks the van right infront of the diner, grabbing his rather bulky laptop, a few random trinkets, and sneaks a few pre rolls of his own special making... he really hoped that no one would realize he was growing this stuff before he left to move to the city next week. He filled it all into the bag and headed to the diner front entrance and knocked. If Agent R becomes an issue: "Oh, h-hello big guy... I don't really recognize you." Then realizes that this guy is someone turned. "Oh, uh I'll just be on my way ha ha... even if you are weirdly sexy I should get going! Stranger danger and all that!" Walks faster to the door, try not to use violence because all I really have on me is a small Swiss army knife.

Agent J looks at Agent RK with sadness in his eyes, “RK seems so troubled but who wouldn’t be in this situation, maybe I can help?” He thought J walks up to Rk, wanting to help in anyway he can and maybe ease the agents mind a bit, he calmly speaks to his fellow agent “hey, uhm, just wanted to thank you, if it wasn’t for you we would have been turned just like the others, I know things are rough but thanks to you we have a chance of fighting back and to save our comrades!” J smiles “so again, thank you and if you have any ideas that can help us stop the transformations you can count on me to help!” After speaking with Rk, Agent J began to think “what should I do to help, if I was as smart as agent O I could come up with a plan, hell, if I was like The Director...” he stoped when he thought of the Director, he had great admiration for agent Y and knowing he had been injured and captured had hurt J greatly “ Agent Y, Sir... I... I hope you are alright sir, I promise, I will save you, if not, I’ll find someone who will...” J shakes his head “FOCUS J, FOCUS” “what would agent O and Y do? Wait, agent O...” agent Js eyes opened wide “Wait, guys!” He said out loud “agent O mentioned the sprinklers before he was captured and agent RK used them to save us, water could be helpful in keeping us safe! I’ll look around and see if I can find some containers and fill them up with water, we are in a diner so there should be some food we can take, maybe I’ll grab a fork, pain slows the transformation right? Hmmm maybe there is even a first aid kit here, anyways, gonna see what I can find. I used to do all sorts of volunteer jobs so I’m used to all this sort of stuff” he said with glee as he went to look for supplies around the area. (I feel I wrote way to much, I’ll make it shorter next time T.T)

You stay back and eye the newcomers to the diner warily, waiting to see how the introductions play out. In the distance you hear the sputtering of a poorly maintained engine and cringe. *Internal* That sounds worse than our old tractor before Sammy and I rebuilt the engine. Is that a cylinder misfire?* You help Q scrounge for supplies. *Internal* C-carnivore chaser?* You blush at Q's remark. "You're right, we need everything and everyone we can get to put a stop to this waking nightmare. But.. if we go, how can we get to Al and Agent I without falling under this entrancement?"

Walking around the once simple town of dusk arcs warped by insanity. You avoid the forest as you witness people enter but never exit. Then theres the odd looking mask men. Wrapping your head around the pure chaos you decide to fun others who aren't tainted. There is one thing that you remember. The emblem that represents a solis guides and protects you from the choas. You wonder what mystic power it holds.

(Damn guess my comment got deleted guess I'll try again) At the school bus a lone journalist stands, he is a slightly chubby well dressed rabbit with yellow and white fur, he seem quite annoyed and is yelling into his phone. "God dammit Donavan, I have nothing new here, there were like ten reporters here by the time I arrived, and all these kids are just saying the same thing! What am I supposed to do with this story?!" The rabbit returns to his car with his notepad and camera and sighs. "My job as a journalist is a joke Donavan, I'll never be able to find any thrilling stories, I'm gonna get fired and lose everything." Suddenly noise starts emanating from the rabbits phone. "What was that Donavan. Something about a weird video going around? From where Dusk Acres, that one horse town? well now that you mention it that bus was coming from that direction." The Rabbit ponders for a moment and looks at the other journalists on the scene. suddenly the rabbit grins. "No one else seems to have put that together just yet. Donavan clear my Itinerary I am going to Dusk Acres to get the biggest scoop of a life time! And I have my very first lead." The rabbit looks at his notepad with the sketch of the boar woman as described by the kids. "If I find her then I may have a story on my hands." The rabbit speeds down the road dead set to get to Dusk Acres in order to find his next big story.

I'm curious about the bunny guy with the camera. If possible I wanna save that boy from trouble, and watch over him =3

Lyle twitches at the sight of a small army sitting right inside of his workplace. While he felt some comfort knowing that they weren't robbers or kidnappers(assuming the man yelling at them was telling the truth). Though it did take a second for him to realize he has nothing on him to hide from them, with cops it was almost instinct. He could swear one of the faces even looked a bit familiar... but for now it seemed like the situation was under control, or at least it would be once Fitch stopped the yelling. Not to mention being inside made him feel a bit calmer, especially with his head being so cloudy on the drive here. He didn't know why, but he could've sworn he heard someone that wasn't the radio talking on the way too work. Though, that's what morning shift grog does to a sleep deprived cat he supposed. "Hey so... first lets maybe not yell... and second you guys aren't like, robbing us righ-EEP!" The sound of a knock at the door that makes the cat jump for a moment. It was barely even the morning and they had customers to deal with now?! Though he quickly changes his tune as he realizes who exactly is outside, quickly opening the door. "Jackson? Dude what are you doing over here this early? It's like barely even 5 yet! Everything alright man?"

After leaving his home, the young rabbit was incredibly wary of everything happening around him, making sure to stay out of sight of anyone suspicious as he looked around town. He had uploaded the video and left a message for anyone out there willing to reach out but he wasn't about to sit down and wait for a response. Sitting in a tight alleyway he pulled out a small laptop to check the town's network for anything suspicious. Neil: ''I still don't feel comfortable with turning these on, but I don't got much option..at least I made sure to jam most possible ways to get tracked but still...Hm?'' He looked at his screen a little confused, most of the town's network was stable, for worse it seems in this case. But there was a spot around one of the town's diners that seemed completely cut off...it was suspicious, which made it worthy enough for the rabbit to investigate, he quickly turned off his computer and stuffed it back in his bag before taking off into the dark alley, avoiding any main roads to get there. Neil: ''Let's hope this is what I think it is..''

Agent RF - Deep in thought, you tap your fingers impatiently on your briefcase, the only thing you remembered to grab in the rush to flee the hospital. You are just dying to try some arcane magic right now. Dusk Acres is at the center of so many Ley Lines and spectral phenomenons, its basically a SNF wet dream!! If you had time, you'd be setting up a séance with Otis Bellow right now to see if he's really dead... or maybe try making a pact with a certain demon for protection (You feel certain it'd work, this time!). But time is a resource you don't have, and lounging around this diner like bunch of sitting ducks doesn't seem like a good plan. "Agent F5, are you saying the 'laptop' (you say the words with a little distaste, you hate relying on technology) is making the jamming field? So.. we could leave this place if we take the laptop with us?" You suggest to the group we should head to the Church of Alliance. It was marked as important on the APEX map and you want to know why, considering the Alliance is about peace between all animals and this cult worships the so-called Cannibal King -pfft, you can hardly give the concept credit, a desperate invention by carnivores during the Dark Ages, less than 500 years old, you've got books older than that back home in your collection! Before you go anywhere, though, grab a fire extinguisher and a salt shaker, you might need it for later.

Ryker: come on boy, we gotta break you in to the free life, lets go on that open road and spread our seeds and word!!! (pointing to two harleys and a Klienbus at used car lot) (looks at oliver) Ryker: come on, we can just live off the land and toke that sweet sweet herb i love!! (blows smoke in grolars face): you ours now boy, now lets get them clothes off him *chuckles*

Problem is there is probably no one with an active MAD chip near him rn, as that is how we see things in the comic. Maybe directing someone to try and find him would help?

Agent J: “Thank you Agent J. And yeah I might have an idea for the transformations. Let’s get to work.” As people start to come into the diner you can see the situation start to fall apart. An explanation is needed. Agent G: “That’s enough Agent G. There is no room for secrets anymore. These people have the right to know what’s going on.” *pulls out badge* Civilians: “We’re the SNF, a branch of the government that investigates supernatural crimes and events. The people of this town have been implanted with devices called M.A.D. chips. These chips were only meant to be implanted in Agents like us. Now, a dangerous cult is using that technology to brainwash and transform everyone in Dusk Acres into vicious, horny cannibals. We tried to stop them but… we failed. What you’re seeing here is what’s left of our group.” “We got here from an underground tunnel that is connected from here to the hospital. Ms. Brooks can attest to that. Also your law enforcement is being ran by cannibals as well. Sheriff Wright especially. I don’t expect any of you to believe any of this, but it’s the truth. This diner is the last safe place in town at the moment.” “Now if you’ll excuse us we have things to do.” Agent F5: “See if you can get Y’s and T’s location from their M.A.D. chips I’ll update them on our situation. Afterwards, see if you can open communications for the surviving civilians in town. I want to message them.” Agents Y and T: *RK tells them about the Perfect Neighbors and how they invaded the bunker to corrupt the servers.* “The only ones left are me, F5, Q, U, J, G, And RF. F5 managed to create a Jamming signal to protect us and were holding up at the diner. Agent I is with Allister at the hotel and Frank has been captured. Listen, we’ve seen with Allister and Frank that pain delays the transformation. I imagine the pain from your injuries are slowing it down for you guys. You might be able to buy some more time by inflicting more pain on yourselves but if you don’t find a way to escape, you’ll eventually become one of them. I have F5 getting your locations via M.A.D. chip.” “One more thing Y. That fractured memory you had. Did anything else come up for you, anything at all?” Cilvilans outside the Diner: If you’re hearing this message you have been implanted with a M.A.D. chip. A cannibalistic cult is using a signal being broadcasted all over town to convert you into one of their own. If you notice any intrusive thoughts, dealing pain to yourself will delay the effect. Stay away from any older larger males, people wearing skulls, and pigs wearing red masks and sweater vests. Hide or leave the town if you can. M.A.D. Reading Agent RK: Hopefully the people in town will take that seriously. It’s cruel, but I can’t tell them about the diner and risk someone getting followed. Maybe that can change when we move to a more secure location.

Some of us remaining Agents have been talking about what to do and coordinate with each other on the discord. Come on by if you want.

Neth Rusiki Azhti

After helping father (agent S's dad name) with him lighting the way for a few of our kindled brothers, I'll head off and take care of my own business. I am Mr. Oxxford Bureau, CEO and owner of Whisker Electronics. I am certain of this fact, if anything because stating, or even thinking this fact fills me with a strange warmth and happiness. This translates to an overwhelming confidence in myself, it puffs up my chest, raises my chin and straightens my back. I know I can get what I want, as it is what I've been training for my entire life, and how I got to the position I am in. I've felt somewhat a little weird today. The warmth in my heart has really been pushing me to do certain strange things. I wanted to get my cock wet, and my balls were aching for release, so I got that done, naturally. It seems strange, for a moment, but it makes sense if I think about how I'm so close to so many of my kindled brothers. Being far away in the big city where I'm the only lit flame dimmed my light, but now that I'm surrounded with so many embers, we are an inferno, a forest fire. This warmth inside me is surely the sun father looking down and smiling upon me, aproving of me and bestowing me his love. With his light shining upon me I know my decisions are the right ones, and my chest swells even further with confidence. I will oversee the production of the "big project" the Manimal boys have been talking big about... I'm certain this is a worthy investment, as the light shines particularly bright for them, and the father sun is always right. A lot of my money's been going here, and I'm excited to see how much fuel I've been adding to our wildfire. I will, however, make SURE things are going smoothly. I will not have my money go to waste. Just my glare is enough to put a lot of men in their place, for they know how ruthless and harsh I can be with people disrespecting me and my investments. And for those who my stare isn't enough, a taste or feel of my superior cock or ass convinces the rest of the boys who I'm employing. Keeping people in line is as part of the job as getting them to join my side, work for me. "Thats where you belong, under me."

OOC This was a super great board update! DAMN, its pretty impressive what a singular decision from a singular person could lead to an apocalyptic scenario! There's so many JUICY little crumbs of lore sprinkled in here too! Frank's mom!?!? So what the hell is up with the red ritual?! BC, I am SUPER curious about the other part of the cult! Like, the moon/shadow part of the cult, relating to the father night. What the hell is it about!? We see so much of their influence, and a couple of cultists have talked about it, but they've never mentioned them as a diety or entity, all everyone talks about is the fire. Is that on purpose? I wanna know! I'm super hoping for that part of the cult to be shown a little more going into this next arc or the 3rd day! OKAY AND THE REST OF YOU GUYS! My personal long term goal for this comic (aside from figuring out the mystery and saving the main characters), is to ACHEIVE DADDIFICATION WITHOUT THE LOSS OF PERSONALITY. My character kinda wants to do it another way, but as a short term goal he 100% would just want to figure out a way to be a dad, but also remain himself. And hopefully also do the same thing for any other Agent that wants that fate! I have not clue HOW that would be possible (other than investigating what the deal was with Omar), but I just wanted to put it out there, in case other people are excited about it.

Robert Smith

I SUPER want to know more about the dream side of the cult too. Sadly, right now, I suspect Agent O would prefer not to exist, so is OK with his shadow being in control. But I do be wanting to know more

Eyekanto

You heard stories stories of madness from your great grandfather. How there was a dark age where cannabism raged and how there was a alliance bent on ending the dark age. You never really took what he said but you always listen. Right before his death he gave you a charm shaped as a solis. He told you it would protect you and only you in pure chaos. Now that everything is unraveling you understand his stories werent just stories. The notebook you have contains the key of saving the town. Your name is Oliver baaple. You stayed in this town because it was all you knew. You own a jewelery shop that's been in the family for generations. Now it's time to find those who can provide answers.

Jane: Both Opossums spark a pleasant conversation while working together in a Janitor's Closet wearing subpar protective equipment, handling dangerous cleaning chemicals and watching "How To" videos on a smartphone. Naturally the topic of Jane's family soon comes up then a NAME was spoken, a name that has close ties to the Brooks family. A NAME that triggered a rush of suppressed memories as it struck F5's psyche like a freight train. A slow tickle of blood trails from the opossum's nose then becomes a gushing torrent making F5 collapse on the spot. Jane immediately pulls F5 out from the Janitor's Closet, taking charge of the situation, knowing exactly what to do thanks to her medical training. ——————— Survivor Tasks: 1. Have the group Fortify the Diner, take inventory of supplies all while F5 craft chemical weapons with Jane in the Janitor's Closet. (Fills a dozen glass bottles or jars with Ammonia to target a Carnivore's keen sense of Smell then fill two bottles with a mixture of Bleach and Rubbing Alcohol to form Chloroform.) 1a. Pick up Allister and Agent I. 1b. Sir Ravenly's Spellbook is of utmost importance . 1c. Find the chapter with the High Tier Sigils to Protect/Ward the Group and the chapter on the Cauterized. 1d. Use the contents of the pages to reverse the Kindling of any affected members. 1e. Restock on Lavender and Rosemary with Al's SNF Kit. 2.) Acquire Frank's Van since it has advance FID equipment on board. 2a. Mod the Military Laptop with previously mentioned FID equipment then sync/pair everyone's Smartphone via Bluetooth. 2b. Potentially able to input Commands once again after the modification. 2c. Craft a weapon that discharge electricity maybe a Cattle Prod or Shock Baton. 3.) Find a Cell Tower especially a 5G Tower to Mass Broadcast the Jamming Signal like an Amber Alert. 3a. Seems probable to reverse some aspects of the Civilians who've been turned via the Corruption Signal. Which in turn reduce the numbers of enemies we'll see at The Feast. 3b. With the Laptop paired with the Cell Tower it'll make the search for Frank, Agent T and Y easier.

Zen Furo

In the cells where T and Y are trapped, a figure descends on the stairs leading up. A panda approaches, wearing what can be best described as a dirty butler outfit that can barely fit his large form. On his hands are two silver trays, each with a plate of food and a glass of what seems to be wine. In contrast to his dirty and disheveled appearance, the tray and the food are clean and appetizing. He approaches the two, sliding the trays into their cell before turning his back, revealing a hole in the rear of his pants for easy access. He stands guard for the two prisoners. "Gentlemen... Please enjoy your meal..", he says in a neutral tone, serious expression unchanging.

Soupy

A chubby figure sneaks through the town. Wearing the Bolt Dynamic Diner standard work-shirt, a nametag says his name is 'Sou'. He is a Polar bear 21 years old, he has dirty beige fur with a patch of brown fur underneath his chin and 2 ring piercings on his left ear while he carries a drawstring pack. In the distant is a shabby broken down 4-door car. Sou starts to speak to himself. "What am I doing? Why did I think could try and find out answers by myself?"  But the bear knew why he still came back, because he was wrought with worry for a good friend of his. Damien Potmas, meeting him in Gargantua he slowly became close friends with the hippo, hell Damien helped him snag a job at the Diner. However Damien didn't respond to any of his texts in the last 2 days, listening to the news and passing by the bus of minors only made Sou feel a bad omen... It felt like how his parents disappeared here years ago would soon happen to his close friend. Clearly remembering the day his parents left for their new jobs at the Manmal factory only to up n vanish from Dusk Acres, how menacing the sheriff was when he decided to get help from the police. Remembering the sight of his family's home getting smaller and smaller  from the backseats of his Uncle's Car, the feeling of loneliness at his uncle's home in Gargantua. Then how a year ago the sheriff called their home to say that his parents case officially became cold. Back to the present however, Sou was stuck to sneaking around as his car's battery had died and he couldn't start it up. He was surprised that the town had so many larger older males around but something about this felt wrong to him. He felt his body become warmer, with these thoughts in his head Sou decided to hurry to the Bolt Dynamic Diner. He also had a small hope that Damien might he at the diner, unknown to the fate of his friend.

Corbel

He had thought that this would be a simple matter, sneaking into the diner in the dead of night through the vents in the roof, robbing the place, then sneaking out the same way. A few hours ago, a red-furred monkey, Corbin Davidson, climbed through the ducts in the ceiling, down into the diner below, a task that should have been easy for his lithe, nimble body... *fshh* ???: Corbin what's wrong? You're breathing really hard. Corbin: Somethin's wrong Eli, I feel... really heavy, and hot. And I think I'm stuck. Eli: Stuck? How's that possible...? The building plans showed you should more than fit. Corbin: Hur hur... it feels like... like I got... bigger? Eli: ...what are you... wait, what's... happenin... Corb... I.. uhh... someone's here! Who ar- *fshh* Corbin: Eli? Eli, what... I can't... unf... why am I so turned on? Corbin's concern soon was overridden as his head was buzzing and swimming, and stuck as he was, didn't know what to do. He considered calling out for help, until he heard a commotion below. A bunch of people crowding into the diner, in the dark, gathered around a laptop. Suddenly, his mind started to clear and he started feeling lighter, more like himself. Corbin: Gotta get outta here! He climbs out the nearest vent and tumbles out on to the street into the gutter in front of the diner.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of understanding this case. I’m gonna summarize my theory of what’s going on. So to begin, in the world of Dusk Acres "magic" exists. Now, most magic/paranormal activity is still fake, like lucky dice or Ley Lines, but we know that "gods" are real - specifically <b>The Pitchy Father</b> and <b>The Red Faced Man</b>. The Pitchy Father, also known as "The Black Father of the Night" Reputation - Associated with darkness, wisdom, healing, dreams, death and protection from the Laughing God. Has a Star-specked cloak. Appears to be represented as a lapine. The Red Faced Man, also known as "The Sky Bound Fire", "The Red One", "The Laughing God", "The Veracious Sun" Reputation - Associated with light, love, sex, hard work, passion and intensity. Gave the animals of the world Sentience and higher thinking. Has the power to change creatures and hypnotize with fire. A "beauty with golden locks". Like night and day, these two deities appear to be opposed to each other, but are not enemies naturally. Most worshipers seem to revere both, even if they strongly favor one over the other. The story is put into motion by events that happen decades before the start of the comic. <i>The Manmal Corporation</i>, a mega-corporation associated with, among many things, cigars and appliances, is run by eccentric billionaire Hyeroninus King (or perhaps one of his descendants). As the company's name suggests, and implied by Otis' good feeling about the brand, The Manmal Corporation covertly believes in/worships The Pitchy Father/The Laughing God (Mr. King appears to have a large painting of what would presumably be the Pitchy Father in his dining room). For some reason, The Manmal Corporation invented MAD Chips and <b>The God Machine</b>, a device that somehow lets mortals use the powers of the Laughing God. Manmal couldn't do this by themselves, it was too costly and illegal, but luckily they had connections with the most top secret government organization, <b>APEX</b>. It appears worshiping ancient gods is not so rare in Dusk Acres, and the leaders of APEX were also strong believers. Except while the Manmal Corporation favored the Laughing God, APEX clearly favored the Pitchy Father. APEX financed the construction of the <i>Pitchy Father Community Hospital</i>, a secret base hidden from maps or satellite images, with a secret supply tunnel to Bolt Bunny Dynamic Diner. Otherwise known as <b>The Black House</b>. From the Black House APEX conducted secret illegal MAD chip experiments on the civilians of Dusk Acres. It appears APEX was planning on using the MAD chips on everybody, to take total control of society. We can only speculate why - to eliminate crime, to remove all cannibalistic urges in carnivores, the elevate their leaders into gods, who knows. Needless to say, APEX's plan with the God Machine didn't agree with the genuine worshipers of the Laughing God, who viewed it as a corruption of the machine's purpose, but were largely powerless to stop the powerful secret government organization.

This leads to <i>Otis Bellows</i>' role in the story. Decades ago Otis' wife "died" under suspicious circumstances. In his despair, Otis turned to The Laughing God to bring her back, pledging his complete devotion to him in exchange. The Laughing God agreed, but she would only be returned when Otis completed The Laughing God's grand plan. This plan led Otis to founding the SNF and finding Allister. But even with the ability to see into the future Otis' plans weren't foolproof. <i>Rahul Mammen</i> was a covert APEX agent who, despite Otis' objections, somehow got inserted into a position of leadership within the SNF. Its not clear Otis knew Rahul was part of APEX, but he knew he was untrustworthy. In late April, 2019, the SNF is unceremoniously decommissioned. This forces Otis' plan into action, he assembles a team of dozens of former SNF agents for a midnight raid on The Black House (It is unclear if the Agents knew why they were doing the raid, or if Otis had fed them false pretenses). This engagement goes poorly, for both sides. Rahul Mammen tipped APEX off about the assault, resulting in a firefight in a battle for control over the facility. Otis "Dies" during the raid. But with the Laughing God's power, this starts the cult in Dusk Acres. It is possible he foresaw he would die. Rahul Mammen is turned into Dr. Orlando Barry, acolyte of the cult of the Laughing God, his mind wiped by the incident. Somehow the vast majority of APEX agents are transformed into The Cauterized because of this battle. The Black House is large and was obviously run by many workers, and this explains how so many Cauterized could exist with no missing person reports. But the SNF was not successful either, most being captured and (due to losing the vast majority of their workforce) brainwashed into being the new APEX. APEX remained in control in Dusk Acres, but was greatly weakened by this event. Meanwhile, Dr. Orlando Barry, channeling the spirit of Otis Bellows, set about building up the new cult.

Crowbar

In the following months Otis guides Barry to kidnap specific men around the country he knows, with his ability to see the future, will eventually bring Allister and Frank Bellows to Dusk Acres. On June 20th they arrive, and the events of the day play out exactly as Otis expected they would. Agent S tells Orlando the location of the Black House and the Cult of the Laughing God, no longer fearful of APEX, takes control of the town of Dusk Acres, Otis' plan seemingly almost complete. Bringing us to the present. Other notes - The Director was the mysterious 'hacker' who enabled the MAD chip commands. He wasn't being commanded by outside forces, he had a latent command that made him do so without being aware of it. Omar Badir, the hospital nurse, is almost certainly an APEX member, not SNF. Probably turned at the same time as Rahul. APEX somehow removed his brainwashing, but as a secret agent it was natural for him to remain undercover in the cult. (I expect the next time we see him he'll be dead.) Hyeroninus King was transformed by consuming fire-touched flesh, turned into Mr. ??? (the split tailed cat seen talking to the Perfect Neighbors at 11 PM). We can infer this character is important because BC usually names extras (like the Bus Driving lady) as things like "Girl" or "Raccoon". Even though Manmal worshiped the Laughing God, it appears Mr. King got very cold feet when it was his turn to kill his identity. It doesn't appear Dr. Orlando Barry believes Allister is the Cannibal King, and is perhaps still scheming to become the most powerful in the cult. tl:dr I think this story is about a cult of Sun God worshipers trying to defeat a Cult of Moon God worshipers, and us Agents are caught in the middle. Anyway I've written way too much. Please point out if I've missed anything or gotten anything wrong!

CherryDad

Interesting conclusions about the cauterized...that being said, the split tailed cat during the 11PM update was a player, and I believe they decided to drop out.

Anonymous

These are some really great ideas here. Definitely gives me a lot to think about.

Robert Smith

Interesting! Just wanted to say, I don't think Otis died in the base raid- we see him and Rahul leaving the base in Agent Y's memories, after securing the APEX base. This suggests Rahul's betrayal happens later- at some point that they are in the town. Also, I think Hieronymous King might be dead. If you look at the image of Allister and Frank at the BBQ from the cult house, there is a piece of Manimal stationary with the words 'enjoy my mortal remains'. Might not be King, but it would make sense, as Allister and Frank have to have already eaten someone to tf into their other forms, which was probably Ozzy's leg. They then cooked King. My theory with this is King was a sort of APEX supervisor- Orlando is consolidating power before fucking things up with the feast, so took out his observer. Finally, I'd argue that the cult isn't at war with the Pitchy Father- Oliver Buckby clearly worships both gods, and the PNs seem to be singing a hymn to the father as they descend into the base. I also think the pitchy father is what gave people sentience, or an 'ego' - The Laughing God seems more Id connected. (edit Ah I saw the panel you were talking about with the laughing god! Maybe the laughing god should be seen as a god of two halves, red and dark, both gods in one?) With those in mind, I'd say perhaps it is less a 'war' between two gods, but APEX using the power of the two gods to make MAD chips, the 'false flame', and Orlando using the power of the cult to try and take this over. I do think the SNF were caught in the middle though!

Robert Smith

Sorry extra second comment! I think that Otis is more important to this than it might seem. His message to Allister implied that he has a regret he came to this town to sort out- I could be wrong, but I feel like that connected to the MAD chips. Maybe a reach, but I wonder if the red ritual is what brought the powers that make the mad chips work to the world. Also, I think he is the hacker. The Director is unlikely to be the hacker, as he got stabbed by BN before the Tuesday hack. That only leaves Orlando, who seems to have a low memory of the base, and Otis, as likely candidates- the repeated number string was the message Otis left for Allister too. Alongside this, I think it was Otis' plan for Allister to come to Dusk Acres, not Orlando's. Allister and Frank are a spanner in the works, who have been disrupting Orlando's careful takeover plan. I do think Orlando sees a way to use Frank to his advantage- possibly as a tool against his father- but I think he was not expecting the arrival of the two agents. Instead, Otis set this up, by having Allister kept in the dark about what the SNF were doing, so his natural curiosity would lead him to the town after his disappearance, as a back up plan if everything failed. Finally, his wife seems to be connected to the Pitchy Father, appearing in the dreams of the kids to get them from Dusk Acres. I don't know what that means yet, but it is possible the failed Red Ritual somehow created this game state. (I think the ritual was failed as Frank refused to participate) Sorry if this is coming off as a lot, I really think your ideas are great, I wanna bounce back with my own :D

Crowbar

Heh thankyou, I love seeing your ideas and feedback. I'm pretty shocked if Mr. ??? really was meant to be a patron that dropped out, that's throws me for a loop. It's definitely is ambiguous exactly what happened during / immediately after the raid right now, there just hasn't been enough details to know yet. I think you're very right to think Otis could still be alive for a little while after the fight. But <i>something</i> had to happen to explain why he couldn't tell Orlando where the Black House was located, so I think he was <i>cut off from the physical world</i> pretty shortly after the attack. I think Hyeroninus King has to be coming back, he seemed very important to the plot, and I just can't see why he'd die there. I mean, I interpreted his anxious mutterings as the cult forcing him into a difficult position - he was expected to eat the flame-tainted meat to prove his loyalty and lose his identity, and if he refused, the cult made it clear they would eat him. If they were going to eat him either way, what is his character motivation for staying silent? Why not just shout, <i>Help, police! These men are going to eat me!</i> lol Plus, I am <i>highly skeptical</i> of the veracity of the photos Frank found in that house. Firstly, they woke up looking normal. Which means for that photo to be real, they had to transform into their Daddified forms, get dressed and go to a cult BBQ, have a quick meal - then they had to revert back into their real selves, be stripped naked and tied up in the basement of their house. That raises a lot of questions!! Secondly, there is another photo, this one of Frank sipping wine in front of a church. And this one can't be real because its in the day time in the photo. I wish we got to see what those photos looked like by uncorrupted eyes, there was some sort of forgery going on. Maybe to an unchipped person those photos depicted entirely different people, or maybe they were blank? I think the cult clearly priorities the Laughing God, they worship the Veracious Sun, and its hard to ignore they demonize a lot of things associated with the worshipers of the Pitchy Father, at least Otis does. Otis appears to blame the Pitchy Father for his wife's dead/disappearance (was there anything said in the story about the circumstances of her "death"), hence the constant bemoaning of the FID being all black, and dark paths, etc. I'm not sure the cult is making a war against the Night Father, as you point out, most of them seem to respect him as a important part in the mythology. But I think APEX idolizes the Night Father and APEX abused the power of their god, so the cult has it in for them. I do think the Laughing God probably has his own plan that is bigger than stopping APEX. If the Laughing God gave animals intelligence, he implicitly was alright with making carnivores that prey on herbivores. Maybe he sees all this worship of "Rulk" and the Alliance as heretical? I made sure to double check what state the Director was in, I know it might be implausible, but we know the Director was stabbed at 3:55 PM BUT the Director wasn't found again until 5:50 PM ! That's two whole hours surviving by himself. And when he was found, he was still walking around (ok <i>limping</i>) and he had been coherent enough to bandage his own wounds with his shirt, so he wasn't totally incapacitated. And we know he had a secret command because he says that's what made him Director. I mean it could still be Otis somehow, but how, if he's a ghost? Yeah, I don't know what the implication of Otis' wife being connected to the Pitchy Father means yet... I don't think she would approve of Otis' behavior hahaha.

Yay more discussion hahaha! ??? is sadly, he was in the discord for a bit. You should join, we have a whole comic discussion channel lol. So the thing with Otis is, I think the betrayal perhaps established the personality that was born by the Red Ritual- he literally gave his entire being to the Laughing God, so something happened to take over. I suspect why Orlando lost his memories is why we did- something happened in the base, that allowed APEX to conduct a mass brainwashing, to continue their experiment. They didn't want Orlando winning the game too soon, so his memories of the black house could be removed. Look at how they brought agents back into play when we were about to lose. They like the stalemate On King... I don't know hahaha. I don't think he expected to be eaten. I think he was just being taken off the table by the cult, but thought he was going to live just as a daddy. The eating bit was probably a shock. He did keep trying to get Allister and Frank alone with him, after all. I agree with you the photos have a weird veracity to them, but the message from the believer on the BBQ makes me feel that they are... something real. My question is whether the reason they were stripped etc is that Otis wanted his son, and protégé, to willingly join the cult on some level, so they were given choices. Otis actually blames the 'shining ones' for his wife's disappearance in the panel, which I can only assume are red god cultists? That is still a mystery. He does think she is dead though, the red ritual brings back the soul of a dead person, and houses it in the supplicant's body. Yes, APEX are definitely more connected to the Dark God, I feel like maybe he is playing a more passive role, with the red god being active. And with the alliance? Well, the Cannibal King is meant to destroy it. So that suggests some level of anger at it hahaha. Regarding Otis- whatever state he is in, he seems able to possess people. See the pub on Monday, and the Factory in the evening. He possesses Adam Marten, and Octave, respectively- the first proven by dna evidence. Even if he is dead, he could possess someone with a phone.

Heh, its very tempting, I do love reading your theories and general comic discussion, but honestly I don't want to know what other people are planning. I actually really love the surprise of seeing what everyone comes up with each week, so creative and chaotic. I feel like it'd be spoiled a little if I knew what everyone else was gonna do ahead of time. I guess Otis could have had his personality changed by the Red Ritual, but I also feel his older colder persona is a natural progression after experiencing such tragedy. I'm surprised you think APEX converted Rahul into Dr. Orlando Barry! As like, some sort of controlled opposition I take it? I'm just not comprehending why they would do that, how does making a murderous cult group help them?? Who is making the decision to make it a stalemate if Orlando is mindwiped... the only other strong (established) APEX contenders in my mind is the Rhino nurse (an odd choice to be a mastermind behind everything) and Mr. King, who didn't seem to be in control of anything. Its believable to think King is dead... But I still strongly think he'll be back. I think the Manmal Corporation invented the God Machine and possibly also manufactured the MAD chips (hence the massive financial losses) so he's extremely plot important if we're ever going to find out more details about either invention/how they work. I mean we know one photo just can't be real, Father Otis standing outside a church in the daytime. If one photo is a fake, I think it strongly implies the other photo isn't real either. The note attached to the card is tricky, because <i>if it is real</i> it still doesn't refer to Frank and Allister by name, just "boys". It could be a card originally belonging to another cult member (maybe the picture depicts someone else in the real world). Or perhaps its just additional fake material to help lull Agent F &amp; A into their new lives and new fake memories. Its a shame, we can't even go back to the house to check! I think the Shining Ones relates to the stars. The Pitchy Father wears a "Star-specked cloak" and is mentioned in Allister ritual with "cutting throats". I think she's "dead" like Otis is "dead', but I'd be interested to find out how. We probably need to ask Frank that, but that would make him sad. :'(

I get that, I guess you could mute the channels, but I do see that. We would love to have you there! Oh definitely possible with the Otis thing- but I do also see him as likely having been fundamentally changed by the Ritual too. Well, I think APEX made the cult in town, and Rahul was planning to use the cult. I think Rahul changed himself into Orlando, to gain the powers he now could use to continue using tf and hypnosis. I think the APEX traitor in the base was the one who made the decision to delete his memories, probably realising he was going rogue- I think Orlando has been portraying himself as a loyal agent to APEX, probably by using Mr King, in order to keep them thinking things are in control. No I agree, the Manimal Corp MUST have been involved in the MAD chips, the money situation doesn't work otherwise. Whether King is alive or not, who knows? I WISH WE COULD GO TO THE HOUSE TOO! The Father Owen at the church is very weird, and throws the others into a weird light... but I don't know the way that Allister is making the hand gesture? I feel there is a message there. Don't know what though Oh good catch on the stars,I didn't think about that! It felt like some people with more agency, but could easily be stars as well. Hmmmm... And yeah, Pitchy Father seems to be about accepting your demise, which Otis would naturally hate lol.

(Whoa, I'm absolutely in love with how the story's heating up! I'm gonna try to finally make a play here, if you don't mind.) *A lone, short-statured husky strolls along a sidewalk, staring at his phone's screen intently.* "Argh, no service here either. Is there some sort of blackout going on?" He crosses the street without looking in either direction. "Maybe I should try the diner..." The husky hears an encroaching whirring, but doesn't look up until the blaring honks from the van grab his attention. He's almost stunned by the headlights, but manages to dive backwards towards safety before the vehicle could ram into him. "Rulk...!"

Blade G Shepherd

A cultist, Osiris Blackthorn, age 23, exits the bar with a confident swagger. He is a 5'8" German Shepherd with a blue mohawk, fiery green eyes, and black-and-white fur. He's wearing a bright blue tank top with a leather jacket and leather trousers. He has an impressive physique, but not as much as other cultists. On seeing the transformed agents outside the bar, he stops, and struggles to keep his face from showing his shock. MAD READING OSIRIS: (With a thick Scottish accent) Shit! This wasn't supposed tae happen! Fuck sake... I cannae use the damn thing now, nae with all these pissers around! He notices another cultist staring at him and puts his confident smirk back on. "Excuse me, sir, what's going on out here?" MAD READING OSIRIS: Feel like such a wouse man...
