[Tesla Foxtrot]

The Perfect Plan

Something tells me Trace don't. On Another note, is it just me or do Flora look younger with each chapter

[gertok9]

First thoughts, Kei is spelled Phonetically, but not the way it should actually be spelled. Second, That is an excellent plan Trace, keep doing what you're doing

[Schrodinger]

Estate: Noun; a piece of landed property, especially one of large extent with an elaborate house on it.

You have to remember Flora, Trace is missing large chunks of his memory.

[avwolf]

Don't worry, Trace, I'm sure your evil self surely didn't populate the estate grounds with all manner of wizard-born aberrations, now gone wild with months of neglect. But, just to be on the safe side, you might want to shore up your adventuring party; I don't think you've got the right class balance for this dungeon (or whatever) crawl.

Who would Trace have managing his estate? I'm sure he wouldn't trust any Keidran, and most of his "friends" are now too busy managing the Templar and executing his hideous plan for genocide. We're almost going to have to meet some more people from Trace's past here.

[Schrodinger]

That's assuming that the new Grand Templar hasn't already raided the estate for anything of value for the war effort.

"War effort" yes. Actually, that's a good point. If I'd just seized power from the crazy, genocidal, old Grand Templar, and I was after him for...reasons, I'd probably want to do everything I could to remove any support structure he'd have that I could identify. A big estate would be perfect to loot and raze. Just remember kids, "Pillage then burn."

Perhaps the Master Spy?

Sorry for the relatively simpler art.

Tom you must be joking, the art is awesome as always
by the way, I do not know if it was the blow to the head or what, but Trace is no longer the brilliant strategist who once was.

And here I'm thinking it is Japanese or something.

[BadFoMo]

Sorry for the relatively simpler art. Still in pain, but didn't want to go without an update this week.

Well, this happened faster than I expected.

Anyway; Trace! Are you actually planning to break into/plunder your old house which is probably under new management now and turn your fiancé to a life of crime?! Because the half of me that wishes to remain pure and innocent doesn't want to see that, while the other half of me which romanticizes Robin Hood like crime does.

P.S. Does anyone have the original version of this? All that's available is a version where trace says "I still don't like the idea of waiting this guy." and as a bunch of .Jpeg artifacts.
P.P.S. Where's the speechless version?

[FrogSteaks]

Sure, Trace. Entering an empty estate through a window and exiting with large sums of currency, all the while wearing a long-sleeved, hooded, dark colored robe is not going to attract any unwanted attention whatsoever. I mean, I don't see how that plan could possibly fail.

Tom seems to use the "ei = I " and "ie = ee " rule. In a some languages, German for instance, this is consistent (as in "stein" being pronounced "stine"). English, of course, can go either way.
...Come to think of it, Fishbach is a German name.

Yeah, Tom is Korean/German. I just meant that he spelled it Kai on this page which is how it's pronounced whereas it's normally spelled Keiren.

If I may digress just a little on the topic of phonetics, the second panel says "loads of time," instead of loads of times.

Hey, just because Flora doesn't use correct grammar doesn't mean Tom made a mistake. She isn't supposed to be a native Human speaker after all.
(That's always a valid excuse, anyway.)
