CONtinuing from where I left off, I just need to get a couple more questions answered, I swear.
In the wiki, it's stated that Taz's intimidation chucklefuck is always active (as shown by the swirls in her eye), and only Albion can turn it off, but in the (as of right now) latest page and flash within, when she sees Arcjec, said swirls disappear, so what gives?
Lastly, there's this whole shebang about Khep and Gai and how they're fighting, but will it ever be answered why it is that they're fighting? What are the consequences for either one "winning"? We're told that Khep is "good" and that Gai is "bad", but there is no concrete evidence to what each party wants out of each other, and I see little effort to show that this is a conflict I (or any of the primary characters) should be engaged in in any way, shape or form. Are the 2 roommates? Did Khep leave the toilet seat open? I've heard that there are parallels between Occeus/Ellsee and Khep/Gai, but I struggle to see Gai in a negative light when compared with the best character in the comic.
Psyche, there's a third question. Who are we in the story? Fox McCloud refers to us directly, but I see no intention of touching upon metatextuality like Homestuck, and it is not an isolated occurrence throughout the story, the idea of an audience existing for Vast Error is touched upon in the conversation between Metatton and Murrit, so is that a question that should even be asked? Will this become relevant later on?
OKAY, that's all, I'd be very grateful if I could get these questions answered, thank you for reading.
