Volume H3: Mechazor L Holiday Special

Cover page!

I missed this on Friday, but as vaguely hinted at by a a message that explicitly said we'd be getting a holiday special, we've got a holiday special!

And a first page!

I'd link to the pic of the Mechazor crew and list their names, but they're on the oekaki, and the server is mostly down at the moment.

Man I have no idea what's going on.

Seems to me like this arc is going to be a bunch of in jokes only like 5 people in the community get, upsetting most of the rest of the community as a whole.

Sounds -awesome-

Also, did we not get an Ask AFH? Am i the only person that sent stuff in for his birthday (as terrible as the questions may have been...)?

Phase 13 isn't over - it's temporarily on hold until the holiday arc is done. We'll get an Ask AFH after Phase 13 is done.

I'd believe you except I'm still wondering what happened to Phase 12!

Nah you wouldn't be interested in that one - it was a porn arc.

Oh, well, um, then, alright!

So long as it exists somewhere and wasn't magically skipped!

Here's a textual summary of what happened in phase 12 (just to get you up to speed).


Phase 12, Chapter 1:

As a quick text-only Sparks tricks Waterfall into watching an Explicit Sax & Graphic Violins movie with her, which turned out to be porn movie of some character named Flo sleeping with a bunch of band members and ninjas (rather than a musical as the cover implied). Sparks drinks a lot of imported Potatoflight Vodka (76.7% alcohol content, and containing tiny diamond shards in it, which are alleged to unnoticeably lacerate the throat so as to get the alcohol into the bloodstream quicker) and gets Waterfall to do the same, goading her into drinking with her powersuit abilities.

After both are drunk, Sparks starts making out with Waterfall, imitating a scene in the movie. Following an amount of groping and similar, Sparks pulls out the Mjolnir 9000-X, a sex toy bought during the "Stir Crazy Sister" chapter, and tries using it on Waterfall. Fearing for her life having seen this diabolical contraption, she flips out into "Wizard moed", pinning Sparks (who has no powersuit on) to the couch with beer bindings, and uses the toy on her.


Phase 12, Chapter 2:

Elsewhere Aftershock sees that Dragon has left the door ajar as she bathes, and contemplates peeping, which turns into fantasizing about going in to "help Miss wash"... and the washing ends up very thorough. Dragon then walks out, giving the reader (but not Aftershock) a good view, which snaps Aftershock out of her daydream.

Interspersed among these pages were glimpses of Snow Angel, but these panels were about 95% obscured behind a giant Canadian flag, for some reason. I think there was some sort of reference or something that I was missing there.


Phase 12, Chapter 3

Airmistress decides to, in her own words, "penetrate the rear entrance of the bank, get in deep into the vaults, and take their hard, solid gold". The Sisters show up and give her the most platonic beatdown in the history of all-female sixsomes, to which Airmistress laments "they came too quickly" before she's taken to jail.

You're a masterful liar, you know that? =P

Phase 12: I'll fix the numbering at some point, I promise.
Phase 13: The current phase will continue after christmas
Letters page: there was one.. i'm.. not sure why it dissapeared. I'll put it back up with a link in the twitter, I guess?
This phase: Will be really fucking silly and probably super fast as I have to fit in what amounts to an entire episode of power rangers before the 25th.
Masa: c'mon, you can summarize with more detail than that.

He was giving the Bugle safe version.

Well, that's what PMing interested parties is for.

Okay maybe I don't quite get the concept behind summarising!

Also Koji is a lot less androgynous than I remember him being from that one picture forever ago.

Names, from what I can remember:
Mechazor 1 Pilot - Koji - The guy excited about Santa.
Mechazor 2 Pilot - Leo - The kid doing a one person mexican wave.
Mechazor 3 Pilot - Ayumi -The blonde girl to the right.
Mechazor 4 Pilot - Gruff - The big one carrying Leo on his shoulder.
Mechazor 5 Pilot - Mikki - The guy not so excited about monster attacks.

Oh, and the ASK AFH is now up, and filled with so many questions that the full ASK AFH logo at the top wouldn't fit on!

Mikki's female, even if she isn't girly.

Huh... yeah I can see it now that you've pointed it out. Oops.

Anyway, I didn't have access to that picture so I decided to redesign them a bit to have "official" designs now.

Is it a problem that Mikki looks girlier in a full bodysuit than she does in her plain clothes?

She didn't pick her bodysuit, but she can choose her clothes (excepting of course she needs to remain colour-coordinated. there are rules)

I like how he's Red Pilot, the pilot of Mechazor 1

As opposed to, say, Blue Tech, the pilot of Mechazor 2
