"If she's mine, she'll make her way."

Sette knew a lot was contingent on her living up to da's order. Not only has she lost her life, she's surely lost her identity as a Frummagem. Nothing is left at all.

18-213

These next few pages are so sad to me. Down in the black abyss with nothing but your failures, a secret identity you never asked for stealing even your face.

It is imperative to view this update on the site, readers! Javascript on! Follow Boo's lead! He can sense her out!

This update is a little bandwidth intensive ...

SOMEONE DO SOMETHING. BOO! GO FOR THE EYE, BOO!

Poor First Sette is stuck in permanent brat status.

18-209

Boo didn't see that one coming.

And First Sette is just sooooaking in evil here. She's always been a pill, but the more memories she rips out of herself, the fewer inhibitions she has, and the more self-righteous and correct she feels in her decision making. Memories are wisdom though, so it's not a great long term plan. Might not make a d...

Looks like she snagged what she wanted from the start. And it looks like it gives her whatever control of Duane she chooses to have. This could be a problem.

18-207

If cutting the line ends this, then so be it. Morning is coming, but not for him. He would never leave her here alone.

18-205&206

Two pages today. Not ominous at all that this timed out this way, I'm sure 2025 will be just fine because we are enlightened and very sophisticated people not at all swayed by superstition.

Please don't be mad at me.

Castafil was one of his favourite wines~

I love this sad but wise acceptance of the futility of grasping lost memories; pushing onward instead to someone he's afraid of, but who he's sure needs him and who is here, now, waiting. He's ready.

I hope everyone had a lovely week last week. There's some neat stuff incoming in 2025, both i...

Duane and Leysa scribble (nsfw)

You have to fill the dialogue and story in on this one yourself. But the happy ending is apparent, I think.

Next update on Monday!

Two pages today!

Poor First Jacaranda - you played a very brief but crucial role in our tale. Perhaps the latest Jacaranda is still out there alive, somewhere, if Lady Ilganyag is to be believed.

And Lady Ilganyag? Well. That's not gonna buff out quick.

Who do you reckon that is up on the cliff? We know who Duane thinks it i...

18-201

I'd thought about writing out how Jac speaks - lots of rrrrr and inappropriately placed y's and apostrophes - but using big fat letters that limit how much can go in a balloon kind of gives the impression he can't say much, due to not having a face suited for human speech. Or so I hoped.

Let's all be proud of Duane for keeping on task and...

Claggart would ask what took you so long, Adelier. All a man needs is a long enough stick and a short enough temper and he can take anything down.

18-199

Duane is so lazy 9_9 Quigley has to keep this whole party on target or the zombie and the brat would spend the whole day picketing each others' memories and just get nothing accomplished.

18-198

Good to make a few friends along the way.

Oof, I had such an unproductive evening. I put on the damned Game Awards just intending to listen to it but the trailers are such dangled carrots. Also Muppets.

18-197

I like that ominous final panel of Sessine. The tonal whiplash in one page from vagina-dive to staring madwoman eyes is pretty up my alley :3

18-196

This is technically NSFW but it's just monster anatomy and not even sexual so I won't be taking questions, thank u.

Boo withdraws his assistance, good luck longshanks.

18-195

Boo will be the MVP of this fight if he can think of a way to help Duane out against Ilganyag.

18-194

Duane extending the slightest olive branch of empathy there, but naw, she ain't gonna perch on that. Watch your ass, green boy!

18-193

Poor Jacaranda is torn. He knows this green man wants the other Sette, and that the other Sette is probably in danger up there from his sister, but Lady Ilganyag is in a murderous mood, and interfering right now could make it even worse. What's a kitty to do.

18-192

Murkoph has a pretty good reason to run when you remember she put her silver in him. He ain't gonna get too far.

Everyone have a glorious turkey day in the US! For the first time in my entire life, I have pretty much no obligations or nothing to do on Thursday, which suits me fine. I'ma take the day off, go see Wicked, and see if the sushi...

18-191

Lady Ilganyag feeling rather sorry for herself. I wouldn't personally approach her in this state but Duane isn't going to wait until she's had lunch and a nap. He wants Sette right about in the ballpark of NOW.

18-189&190

Two pages today but if you check the site you'll find an animated transition with a bit of extra art. I'll probably make that into a single page in print but it'll need some layout tweaking - https://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch18/ch1...

18-188

I know lots of people hate Sonorie but I can't help thinking she's kinda cool. Plenty of flaws, did lots wrong, but I love a deeply grey character who, if nothing else, tried to remain true to what they believed in.

We'll see this little group briefly one more time, but until then, let's go see if Duane managed to find Sette. He's got a fi...

18-187

Phew, at last. I wouldn't hang around though.

Bones

Rip him open.

18-184-186

Three pages today. Farewell, Roger. Let us hope his sacrifice was not in vain.

18-183

If there's one way to distract Ruckmearkha, it's to give him something utterly brand new to experience. He's never before thrown up a meal in the middle of an eel-infested khert-fire in such a way that his meal's own hallucination showed up for them both. Why, it's almost like being human. For a second, anyway.

18-181&182

Two pages today! I didn't feel like doing a public update for reasons I'm finding hard to verbalize. But I'll update the site with these two pages on Friday :)

18-180

We'll do two pages on Wednesday. Might have to do a short hiatus after this scene's done to keep our buffer healthy, some of these pages just shouldn't be split up, or it'll get too hard to follow :)

I like that panel of Ruck and Ilganyag. "Ugh, chicken for dinner again."
