Vooster

Just in time for chapter 12

FancyShark

Hi, @Vooster !

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

And the Chinese guy doing pressure point kung fu to Andre!

Vooster

Oh I'm not actually going to read any of this

gellaho

It's very weird to me how we operate in this space where medieval Europe knew nothing, but also Western culture understands all

Velo, Electric Ghost

Let me catch you up

Velo, Electric Ghost

Oh that's the wrong out of context quote

Oh well

gellaho

It's almost like knowledge comes from everywhere

But, that can't possibly be true

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Dr. Darkness zapped the medieval history section of the library with a sun laser to save the chronosphere from the book wyrm

gellaho

Listen, I could never be hired if anybody knew what I was up to here

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

You can't prove that's not what happened!

gellaho

Where was I?

Velo, Electric Ghost

You don't think they'd like this?

Velo, Electric Ghost

Oh that's the wrong one again

FancyShark

I stand by this

FancyShark

Warp discs

gellaho

The Chinese man is speaking

gellaho

Clearly, he knows all

There are only like 5 Chinese guys, right?

Velo, Electric Ghost

Anyone else just say "oh no" outloud?

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I think theyd have questiones about this one.

gellaho

That does not sound right

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I had my goon do a lil head fake to get you to trust me just now."

"Damn, I can't dispute that"

Velo, Electric Ghost

Never heard of those before in my life

gellaho

I mean, we share the same birthday

Ignore what his user name says

It's a lie

FancyShark

Good things happened that day

gellaho

It's in 1mknth, minus one day

Or month, fuck

Meanwhile, the famous authors are in trouble

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Imagine having to train and do all kinds of rigamarole only to get sent back in time to keep an old dipshit who believes in fairies alive for a few more years.

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

This was literally the plot of a Voyagers! episode

gellaho

If I wasn't clear, me and @👽⭐ Mo and his Galvanic Cutlass were born on June 16th, send presents

FancyShark

"Their life's works are going to enter public domain and all sorts of crazy stuff is going to happen with them"

gellaho

I got presents from @Fatamatician: The Curator today

Gracias

Fatamatician: The Curator

Yay!!

gellaho

Fucking get it, Jasmine

Vooster

There's no way I'm going to retain that knowledge for 29 more days

gellaho

Don't worry, 32nd birthdays aren't that important

Vooster

Oh hey, it's the bad guy from the other books

Vooster

Can confirm, having made it to 34

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

SHOOT HIM!

You cant break necks when youre dead.

gellaho

Dr Moreau be safe

gellaho

Or, sad

Fucking phones

Vooster

Oh, there's whores?

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Bless you

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Usually there are a few somewhere if you look hard enough.

gellaho

Dr Moreau, all about the Asian babes

Vooster

I'm always lookin'

gellaho

Such a weeb

FancyShark

I got it covered

gellaho

Nobody needs to pay attention to me it's my fault for not producing another 3 hour movie in a year

Don't you hug me

MEANWHILE

FancyShark

Too late! MWAHAHAHA

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Moreau, what you should do is create some kind of super powered aardvark person to fight Drakov and his army of time Draculas.

gellaho

You are lucky my drunk ass is in Florida

Emergency Stount Cerril

Watch out for the wolf children.

FancyShark

Hi, @Emergency Stount Cerril !

gellaho

Simon Hawke writes Arthur the Aardvark

Velo, Electric Ghost

And any Hulks Hogan that might be around

gellaho

Here comes Sir Doyle

gellaho

I'll kick his Tampa Bay ass

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

"The only possible explanation" is real rich coming from you, fairy boy.

FancyShark

So check your necks for darts

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Because of his earnest belief in fairies to be clear.

Vooster

I had questions about the plot, but I realized I don't car

or care, even

gellaho

Learned that from Mystery Box

FancyShark

Joe neglected to do that and fought a cemetery

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Actually you know what, Jamie cut that.

Velo, Electric Ghost

Hold on I've got a quote that can explain that

gellaho

Real weird how much Arthur Conan Doyle and Poe we've gotten in the Book Cage

gellaho

Not to get too personal

But my name is Jamie

Cut that

Velo, Electric Ghost

Steak is the best emoji I got when I searched for 'cut'

gellaho

Here comes Sherlock

Velo, Electric Ghost

Now we all have to live with it

gellaho

Jamie is far too androgynous and hard to spell

FancyShark

Conan Doyle's hiding his smartphone from Stoker the whole time

gellaho

Take that from experience

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I wonder if Doyle was this kind of insufferable dickhole in real life.

Vooster

Authors always act like their most famous character

FancyShark

It's why HP Lovecraft sank boats and slept all the time

Velo, Electric Ghost

By shoving smartphones up their butts

gellaho

Given that my high school yearbook spelled my first name and last name five different ways

Velo, Electric Ghost

Just like Sherlock did

Vooster

That's why lead characters always have the same opinions and flaws as the writer

gellaho

You want to know more? Go fuck yourself

Velo, Electric Ghost

Is Dracula back yet

gellaho

It's why I have a completely human penis

What?

Anyway

Vooster

You're answering questions I have not asked

Velo, Electric Ghost

Dracula does that to people

gellaho

That is how it goes

I mean, Steele is liter the first book I read on here

It's hard not to tie back to that

Anyway

Velo, Electric Ghost

Oh right

gellaho

Back to Bram Stoker flirting with Conan Doyle

Velo, Electric Ghost

KISS

FancyShark

KISS

Velo, Electric Ghost

COMBINE FACIAL HAIR

Vooster

Sounds like a fun platonic ski trip

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

"The fairies must have brought us here!"

"God you're so stupid. Take me now you fucking moron."

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

It would be really funny if they were in some rich dinguses fake castle in like Appalachia or something and not the Balkans.

gellaho

They are having a great time

Velo, Electric Ghost

They're in fucking Scotland

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Abbot and Costello Meet Dracula

Velo, Electric Ghost

Oh my god that is what this is

Vooster

And raving lunatics are completely safe to be around, as long as they are human

Humans never attack each other

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

It is not ape law!

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

You know I never looked up a picture of Bram Stoker before today.

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Oh yeah you wanna talk about a member of the beefsteak society, fuckin here ya go

gellaho

It's not going great

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

He kinda looks like he might be Bert Kreischers grandfather.

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Yeah make the Irish guy say "saints preserve us", why not

FancyShark

How it feels the first day at a new gym

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Somewhere Scarrow nods approvingly from his cuck closet

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Pretty normal Dracula castle.

Velo, Electric Ghost

Holding his cuck bucket

gellaho

I can't believe the author of The Lair of the White Worm would fall for such a thing

Velo, Electric Ghost

Thinking about 9/11

FancyShark

His cucket

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Theres like six of these areas in every Castlevania.

gellaho

There once was a man from Nantucket

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage
Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

God that movie was weird.

Good weird.

FancyShark

Farscape was weirder than I remember

gellaho

The Chinese know all

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Avatar was weirder— dammit

FancyShark

Wells, it's fine. Just tell him the old guy is his son.

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Maybe ill stream it again soon, so many people didnt come and see the last time and more people need to know about the movie with Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi fighting Hot Snake Dracula.

gellaho

Dr Moreau done git caught by the bad guys

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

*springs trap around them to prove he's not going to trap them

FancyShark

Lin Tao takes out a cup and ball and gets it right on the second or third try

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I think this is where he sets fire to their navy?

gellaho

Suck it, China

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I mean its the latter half of the 1800s so they did in fact, suck it.

FancyShark

Good thing they brought infinite Chinese men

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

They did little else for the better part of 70 years

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

At least 100.

gellaho

I'll admit km to drunk to know what's happening, but best of luck to the rest of you

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

And to be fair the sucking it began a fair amount of time before as well.

Honestly the history of the Qing dynasty includes alot of China sucking it.

FancyShark

hahaha

He's yadda yadda-ing the actual action

A+

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I gotta say hatchets arent my first choice for werewolf fighting.

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

writing action is hard, so simply don't

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

But at least Simon didnt go the low road and give them all swords and shit.

One dude with a guandao or those weird little murder hoops.

FancyShark

I kind of wish he'd given them all ballpeen hammers

gellaho

Ancient Chinese time travel secret

FancyShark

Fuck yes

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Cool. Send an atomic bomb thru the gate, easy peasy.

Vooster

Save even more time by not writing at all

FancyShark

Drakov was sending werewolves through time

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Like doordash but with werewolves.

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Oh like you wouldn't.

FancyShark

I would so send werewolves to assassinate people in time

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

When all you send is werewolves you never have to worry if people did or did not ask for werewolves.

Velo, Electric Ghost

Damn that would have been a fun book

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Tips are bad tho.

Your customer service rating is gonna be low, probably.

FancyShark

A problem easily solved with more werewolves

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

At the very least you can get a neutral rating just by applying enough werewolves that nobody is left to complain.

gellaho

Stuff is happening

FancyShark

Running through legions of guinea pigs

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

And if you do it right you end up with more werewolves than you started with, and I like to think being a werewolf is pretty cool and once you get used to it, rate the experience five stars.

Vooster

"Soft, furry shapes" is what I call Djonin

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Dont step on rats. They are sweet and clean animals.

Watch where you put your feet, pls.

gellaho

Drakov having a hard time

FancyShark

Mad scientists get all the chicks

Velo, Electric Ghost

It's the beakers

And the bunsen burners

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Place your bets now, does Drakov get mobbed by his own horde of time vampire werewolves?

Velo, Electric Ghost

Chicks love little fires

Vooster

Yes! $2,000 on yes!

FancyShark

🤞

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Wells has gotta get the ending for Dr. Moreau from somewhere

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

And the lab coats look dashing.

Velo, Electric Ghost

I should light some little fires

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Whatever happens im sure our three main characters can handle it...........Andre......um.......Brendan and ..........Gorg?

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Nelson I think?

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Burt Reynolds?

Vooster

Stieger, Cross, and Pants Charles

gellaho

Stuff is happening

Vooster

They have the high ground

Or no, the otherway around

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

"Hey youre the asshole who believes in fairies?! AND IM THE INSANE ONE?!"

FancyShark

Shoot him

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Drakov right now: "Goddammit Dracula. I told you not to bring company back without phoning ahead."

Vooster

Did-did the Draculas get to Gellaho?

FancyShark

NOOOOOO!

REVENGE!

Vooster

It could have been a werewoof, we don't know

gellaho

This goes on for a while

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Fuck off Doyle.

Vooster

Really driving home the point that the man is unwell

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Also STAB YOUR GODDAM SON PROPERLY THIS TIME FORESTER!

Velo, Electric Ghost

Forester sucks so much

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

most "fuck you"s don't last a full page

Velo, Electric Ghost

I thought Forrester died damn it

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

God hates a job left half done, thats why he cursed Abraham.

gellaho

Not to be a stereotype but I couldn't find my glasses

Vooster

I mean...I did that earlier today

FancyShark

Can confirm

gellaho

Drakov... Dead!?

gellaho
Velo, Electric Ghost

Please

gellaho

Can we be so lucky?

Velo, Electric Ghost

Please

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Welp.

Vooster

Lotta fire happening

FancyShark

But if Drakov is dead, who will we hope dies in every book?

Vooster

The rest of the cast

FancyShark

Oh right

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Seems Simon has subverted our expectations re: Drakov reaping his hubris.

FancyShark

Minus Andre Cross

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

No body means didn't die

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

It was probably a time clone tho.

gellaho

Lin Tao know using Vulcan martial arts

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Youd think future people would have like biometric safeties on their weapons.

FancyShark

Or even a chain or clip or something

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Not that it matters becuase Lin Tao knows fucking kung fu.

gellaho

Well, luckily, Dr Moreau has escaped with his teenage bride, right?

gellaho

Right?

FancyShark

uh

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

His teenage ASIAN bride, which is very techbro of him.

It would be way funnier if she was from like Georgia or something tho.

gellaho

Andre trusts their ancient Chinese ways

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

I mean if you cant trust a mysterious old Chinese man who can kill with a touch, who can you trust?

gellaho

Grayson is having a great time

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

Blow off some steam, Tony

FancyShark

Grayson decided to omit this part from his report

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Grayson I have a feeling even if you survive im not gonna remember you.

gellaho

Good ijstincg

Or instinct

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Just like the guys with Andre........Steve and..........Bilbo?

gellaho

Meanwhile, in the epilogue

FancyShark

Wait, she's not named Jasmine?

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Fuck off Doyle. You bastard, stay off Brams turf.

English pig, stop stealing from the Irish,

Velo, Electric Ghost

Huh

FancyShark

oh wait, Jasmine is with Moreau, not Wells

Names are hard

gellaho

There's a lot going on

Vooster

I'm Vooster

gellaho

Dracula

Vooster

He lives

FancyShark

Andre walks in. "I've got some of Dracula stuck to my shoe."

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

It all depends on if Simon got bored of Dracula or not.

I gotta say tho it would be pretty funny to just have a Dracula running around for no current plot related reason.

Vooster

I support incidental vampires

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Like he just became someones roommate and now they dont know how to get rid of him.

gellaho

No more Dracul

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

"Ehhhhh its probably fine." Gregor said."

Everyone laughs, freeze frame to credits.

gellaho

Grayson got that erectile dysfunction

Vooster

All those body parts are a teaser for the Frankenstein's Monster drop

Velo, Electric Ghost

Time travelling Frankenstein

gellaho

And now, we're on the last page

Vooster

Kiss?

gellaho

Nah, that's it

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

Hahahahah yeah that old timey medicine, hard narcotics and poison.

Velo, Electric Ghost

Damn it just ends

Butt Wizard Flippant Sausage

lol sweet.

Velo, Electric Ghost

Thank you @gellaho

Thank you Draculas

You're all Draculas in my heart

Gentleman Arch-Thief Badger

love it when a book just goes "ok bye"

Velo, Electric Ghost

If we keep saying Dracula Vooster can't reset her counter

Dracula

gellaho

We have defeated Time War #8: The Dracula Caper

Vooster

It has been 0 days...

Velo, Electric Ghost

Dracula

FancyShark

Velo, Electric Ghost

Absoultely brilliant
