Slow claps to you, my friend.Edit: Woops! Accidentally clicked the post button before finishing. Give me a sec...I think it looks great, though the 'fins' on the head of the Avohkii are a bit... strange, i'd suggest working on those.

A pair of matoran waits in the desert - for their friend to return, or some guidance from their conscience that has guided them thus far.UT: ...-JK: I wonder when Joe's going to get ba-UT: THAT'S IT. I've had enough.JK: What? You can talk?UT: Yes! This entire time.UT: I am sick and tired of being cut off all the time!UT: It's like some sort of... running gag!JK: Wait a second, what are you-UT: If you're so concerned with what Joe's up to...UT: Why not go and say hello?UT: I'll help.Now what?

You cannot best Leraku at being menacing.He is simply the best there is.Of course, this is being said in character context.

Oh, i know that look in 'my' eyes.He could only be thinking of how much he is trying to keep himself from 'stabstabstabstabstabstab'.

I'm not sure, but i may switch back to using Chimoru - Xanis is good, but, the resizing is fairly difficult - and the less shading just seems a bit strange to me. Four-shade isn't something i'm used to.

@Leraku's Comic: LOL, I love the personalities. But why is the animation grainy?

This is also seen in my basic animations. Since it's not super-long at all, Microsoft GIF animator does the job and keeps the filesize down, so i don't need a flash document. (Plus, i'm not exactly experienced with sprite-based flash animation... yet.) The side effect of GIF animator is that it makes the files animated GIFs - losing the normal quality of .png files.Also, did anyone notice the subtle pun in the comic?

Rereading my previous post: Nevermind what I said. I mean, no I really do hate bugs, but that's not what I'm talking about now.The point: Dude, "bugs" is really a subtle hint about what's going on in the series. There are glitches (or bugs) inside the rebooted game world, and that's why WR won't play. Also, the "BZUniverse" actually a protected bubble world inside a chaotic mess (the game is somewhere in the mess). By not wanting to go "outside" he means he doesn't want to go into the glitchy madness that is the game world beyond their bubble. It also explains why the BZUniverse has such tight security; they need to do everything they can to stay safe in the bubble.BZUniverse Leraku enjoys the game, and that's why you said he likes to be "outside in the grass". That's how the series started.That is my headcanon. I don't care whether it's right or wrong, I just like making crazy theories.J-K out.

I had no plan on any of that really, this is basically just windrider disliking all of those stupid flies and bees that buzz around in the middle of summer when you're just trying to like, take a walk or something.

Hoo boy. That's brutal. I still don't know what that sprite kit is [or how to get it for that matter] but i still think it's very robotic appearance fits for that sort of treatment.

@Leraku: I originally was going to make the second panel where half of Leraku is shown, similar to the Inika commercial, but found out that your mask didn't when enlarged a certain number of pixels, so I abandoned the idea and just went with this one. and yes the other eye isn't glowing. I always thought the visor in his mask would reflect light, so I made it only in one eye.

Leraku's mask actually has a visor of sorts inside it, and it is mostly clear - each side is just tinted very lightly, so the blue side looks light, light whitish blue, and the other side looks like a very light whitish red. His eyes are that color in that form, and as such they glow.

i kinda thought he meant outside the roomhe could spray outside the building

Yeah, I've been noticing the bugs now outside. I agree with Wind, I can't stand those things.J-K out.

yeah. i hate them

Outside wouldn't necessarily mean just nearby the building. They could still fly around the spray and not land where it is - Leraku likes to get away from the building outside, out in the grass. That is what i am referring to.

I think the glow effect is missing on Ler's other eye. In the comics, you might notice that i usually apply glow effects to both eyes.

u should call an exterminator

How would one use an exterminator on the entire outside world? Ler is talking 'outside the building'.

Bleh, bugs...Wait. Whos the new guy?~Ro

There's a clue in Soran's post....actually his entire post there is a clue. That's Soran - If you go back to when Ler went to change to his current form back in Onu-Koro, Soran, aka Exile, stopped him.

Hey guys, i have a surprise. Know what it is? Filler comic. When they're not talking about srsbsns, what are 'BZUniverse' Ler and Wind actually talking about?

Hmm... I believe one of the darkened characters' arms are missing in panels 2 to 7, in comic 3.

LER: Are you Exile?EX: Why, yes. Seems you're late for our first training.LER: Training?EX: What, they didn't tell you about our training..?LER: No. Should they have?EX: Well then... here's your first lesson!Not your favorite of memories...

lol hilarious. i wonder how leraku would be successful in mailing himself to the moon. oh and i would like to be introduced early if its not too much trouble

Leraku's powers are explained in DDD - he is capable of flying with his psionic power, so he was probably just going to launch himself.

Interesting... I can't tell if thats a memory or not though... Either way I can't wait to see what happens next.

Memories and ETC in universe 2 [The virtual, Leraku-Made universe] will have names that are abbreviated character names, such as LER and JK. OS??? is really OSWIN. Universe 1. the 'real' universe will have name handles similar to Homestuck, such as bipolarDesigner and hurricaneSentinel.

Okay, you decided to try and take a walk to calm down - again - now to check over what's going on. Memories, memories, yadda yad-Wait a second. Who's that..?No...There's only one person that OverSeer can be...BD: Windrider!HS: ... -----Trivia note! I actually have two files with ironically similar names now.'windriderclosedoor.png', in the scene where Wind closed the door on Leraku, and now,'windrideropendoor.png' in this scene.

The Epic eyeshine effect strikes again!Your mask seems to be pretty powerful... What was its mask powers again?I wonder what it reminds you of... The suspense!~Soran

It is a Phantoka Miru, a mask of Levitation. However, this is not his mask power. It is raw psionic energy. It can also be seen earlier near the beginning of S2, the 'pchoo' bit.Onwards to comic.Wait a minute... this may not even be enough. It could possibly......This can't be. It's not bringing that back, is it?...This odd feeling. It's like memories being forcibly jammed into your head...Rrrgh. Not... very... pleasant...OS???: So. Your... little upgrade has gone well?LER: Yes. I'd appreciate it if i didn't see these... things pointing weaponry at me wherever I go.OS???: Now, Polaris, you know that we must have security due to our work. They do have feelings, too.LER: ...Right...OS???: Since your reclaiming had some... issues, we are going to assign you a partner. They have had similar experiences. He is codename Exile.LER: A Teammate? I didn't sign up for that! I am fi-OS???: Silence. We carefully modifi- Reclaimed you, and we can undo those effects. Your powers are insignificant to us. You need us.LER: If only you knew...OS???: What was that?LER: Nothing. Carefully reminding myself to... respect my superiors and not respond with a loud, indignant voice...OS???: Good. Get going. You'd best get introduced.LER: ...OS???: I said, you are dismissed....No. You don't want to remember this.You forced yourself to suppress these memories.It was not the nicest of processes either...

Here you are. Finally. Now to see what you can do with this....Drat. You won't be able to fix this till you make it to your destination. Eventually. That means you're going to have to wait here for the others.This means you are going to have to sit.And wait....Wait...Wait a minute.This reminds you of something.

Nice to see these are back up again. I like how mysterious the comic is, and how the past keeps coming back to Leraku. Also, I love that eye shine you did in 2nd panel, just amazing.~Soran(Was my character one of those returning people in these comics, because if so does that mean you need me to send in a xaniskit spritesheet?)

Yes, a Xanis sheet would be very appreciated.-----Secondary notice!I would really appreciate community help here - i need all sorts of Xanis characters - I.E. soldier-ish characters, and if anyone wants to make an appearance, you can send yourself in and i can make use of you!

<://Error, consciental input rebooting.><://Continuing main process.>Is this it down in the sand? What you've been looking for out here? Yeah, this is it. A bit sandy, but it'll do. You'd best get out of the sand for awhile if you want to salvage what little is left of this thing. Might as well put your sword back into your Hammerspace, you probably won't need it on the way.LER: You guys keep going. I've... got something to take care of, so I'm going to fly ahead. Meet me at Ta-Koro.JK: What? We went all this way - just to go back there?LER: ...It's complicated. Let's just say that some things... changed. Find a boat or something, head to Ga-Koro. I'll be either in Ta-Koro, or near the shore.KJ: I'll use my mask to get ahead and look for some boats.LER: Good plan. See ya.UT: ...LER: Yes, you too, mister join-the-group-without-my-consent. 'Goodbye'.KJ: ...His name is Utah?LER: Oh. Um... sorry. Odd. Must be some weirdness from when i was feeling all... aggressive before. See ya.How strange... maybe your past is messing with you again.You're not usually so aggressive. Now to get this thing to a place where you can study it in peace. Maybe... think a bit, too.-----Whoo... Yeah, I got a bunch of ideas. And these ideas may be possibly influenced by your input - So, from here to when they meet up, they will be AC-controlled in a 'meanwhile' sort of way. I will control Leraku most of the time, with my plans, and you can send in ACs for him too. On a condition. You must also include an AC for the rest of them, or at least one of them. I still don't have a bona-fide update schedule, so it's probably going to be pretty random.-Ler

...Ugh.I am really, REALLY sorry guys. I have had absolutely no feeling to make comics lately. I just have been veering all over the place outside of the comic-making groove. I couldn't even make one this time. I just took the old 'sunk' image, flipped it around and over sharpened it....It took TEN MINUTES just for the sharpen script-fu to LOAD.And another ten for it to process what i wanted it to do....Then five more to actually do it....UGH.I'm going to have to reinstall gimp sometime.Oh well.Anyways, i've got a good reason for being out of the comic-mood this time.This time, i am actually working on my art.Sketching, drawing, digital coloring... et cetera, et cetera.I'm going to be putting this comic on an indefinite hiatus. ACs are still able to be sent in, even if you have already sent one in. I'll keep them in my inbox for comics later once i get back in the 'update' mood.-Ler
