Well, y'know, he (Father Desmarais) is like the chocolate syrup. You can't have the sundae without it, but you wouldn't want to make it the main ingredient.

Uh...unless you like chocolate syrup a whole lot, I guess?

Wooosh.... I like the rainy montage of the Lynch Mob, though I'm not 100% certain why Desmarais is standing outside in the rain, even if he does have a lovely new scarf.

So it seems that Santine, Fred, and Marie are the main characters of this comic?

Mind you, it might actually be good for Desmarais if he's not around, since he's a Mentor and most literary Mentors seem to be doomed to die horribly so that their students can avenge them.

Nah, I like the others too but I prefer Desmarais over Marie.

No killing him off! :( :P

I think that the four of them together will make a rather better mix than any three of the group would.

Without Fred along, Santine has no one to treat as an equal or engage in nervously-embarassed-teen conversation.

Without Santine along, Fred hasn't really got much reason to stay with the others.

Without Marie along, these foolhardy kids and the sheltered priest are sure to get themselves creamed out there.

Without Desmarais along, the group has no voice of conscience and wisdom ... at least, not in the same person.

I'm hoping for Monsieur Mensonge, personally. He's just so unabashedly malevolent in Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends.

Also, whatever else you say about Etienne, he apparently liked his father. Why, considering his father buried his mother alive, I do not know.

Assumes that he knew (which he most likely did not).

And also assuming it was his mother, not his stepmother, who was buried alive.

Well, I was not expecting Marie to go with them, but I can't say I'm displeased by that :D I like Marie, probably my favorite of the characters so far.

Considering Etienne was likely entirely raised by servants, he probably would have had the same emotional attachment to either.

And we never did know why she got buried. Maybe she just as terrible as her husband. >.>

But he probably didn't know anyway.

Great, now I have images of chocolate covered popcorn chicken.

Oh, hey, how'd I miss three comics.

This is neat. Very moody. I think Marie blowing off her friend like that is a little cold...okay, a lot cold..., but not entirely uncharacteristic. It does mean that our 'party' is lacking a wizard, though, so my guess was wrong.
