Oops! I’m already crying about saying goodbye! (Why does this keep happening to me!!!)

Going Merry has to be abusing the heck out of the Delay-death/Beastland-Ferocity combo between the Skypea and Eynes lobby arcs because the ship is clearly far into the negatives the whole time.

Hrmm, welp looks like we've got no choice. Kill the tagalong!

I don't think I can describe how much I dislike Rika's friend.

It does make me wonder how the comic will handle Mr. 9 after Miss Wednesday's surprise reveal in Whiskey Peak.

All of the signs of an abusive, manipulative, and controlling bastard are present in Jayden.
Not paying proper attention/respect to the GM by using an incorrect name.
Using vague language to avoid giving actual praise or insult to her character concept while making her doubt it.
Attempting to drive a wedge between her and her other friends by misrepresenting things she's said and insulting them.
Reinforcing the idea that he's smart and always right and that she should listen to him by well, he basically just said all that just now.
Oh, and demeaning her by calling her the "tag-a-log".
He's basically tailor made to be hated.
That said, I want him to get murder death killed because he's hurting our dear and fluffy Rika cinnamon roll.

Considering how the actual series goes though, he might be called out by Rika and the others and have a change of heart, hence the self sacrifice.

Remember, player feelings don't have to match character ones. Leaves in a huff and just gets his character bumped off.

Third panel, speech bubble: "able"

Thanks for letting me know! ^_^

That guy seems quite boneheaded and full of himself.
