She had just shared her favorite story from Erika's show, one pretty revealing about some aspects of Miho's character. Somehow I am getting vibes that that passage (and the girl-rescued-by-pirates-who-then-died-after-they-were-killed story) is something we might get even more clues from... Almost c...

It might also help to explain her willingness to waltz onto a known killing field and get blown to bits by a dozen Killballs. That reminds me. We know that she wasn't planning to be discovered by Yuki after that (and Yuki was looking for her why...?) hence she was very visibly surprised by that. I ...

Fred - I forgot to mention this before but your art continues to grow and change and mature. That last panel is one of the most expressive, heart wrenching, and depressing (in a good way) things I think you've ever done. Bravo. (Prior winner in the depressing-in-a-good-way award is the one print we ...

Moeko clearly has fangs... in every shot. Clearly having a nervous breakdown, also. Has it been a slow rolling nervous breakdown for years? A decade or more? Some things you cannot fix. Some things you cannot replace. Some things you cannot throw out. Some things you cannot escape. Congrats, Teddy,...

I have always greatly admired CS Lewis's defense of fairy tales and children's literature. I think, had he lived long enough to know of them, he'd have felt the same about magical girls. You don't have to give up little girl stuff when you become a big girl, Moeko. Never stop dreaming. Especially w...

She seems to be strongly exaggerating. For example, she says hayasaka almost "killed" her best friend. In truth she apparently just broke her nose. And then she says, "it did happen, right? I don't know, I was stuck in coma". Apparently, she is relying on third party information, maybe what fans po...

"And then you screwed all those guys" Really? REALLY? Why the heck would you make that a part of her lore? This has been hinted at by Kimiko for some time now. [718] . - "This is nothing compared to what Erika used to put me through." [728] - "I haven't been to a love hotel since you busted me in t...

No, this isn't just happening in Erika's head. This isn't mind control nor is it possession. Largo is completely blind to what is happening and it's not an SEP because Largo thinks everything is his problem. OK, if it's not in Erika's head, but Moeko is still in a coma, how is she moving & talking?...

This is all in Erika's head... Moeko has possessed her and is gaining full control while mocking Erika. This Moeko is going to start driving her body around like a supercharged bumper car! Totally in her head with full VR sensorium, using Erika's own senses. Nope, no mocking. Fred's subverted this ...

OK, so was Ririka's 'Pure' Moeko always an act, or is this the result of 15+ years of being trapped in her own head? ...Maybe Moeko and Miho are the previous generation of what Erika and Kimiko are supposed to be? We're seeing a generation change, is all. Crazy good page Fred thanks! ==== Ha, yes t...

OK, so was Ririka's 'Pure' Moeko always an act, or is this the result of 15+ years of being trapped in her own head? Probably the former, with some selective memory work by Moeko - people tend to idealize those they've- lost. Interesting that she can communicate mentally with Erika. I suspect it's O...

I wonder if there's a paranoia-to-age correlation among the forumites? They told you, didn't they? They're always watching. I warned everyone, but did people listen? No! The fools! You'll all see I was right. You'll see! :ph34r: *goes to add more aluminum foil to hat and search the cat box for list...

I grew up in the intelligence community, and my RPG history is old enough to vote, so my paranoia is pretty well honed. RPG me has had the vote so long that it has been in the adult voting demographic category thru two Presidencies. :ugeek: I haven't done the math in a while - OK, three Presidencie...

Hahaha

Y'all postulating a Moeko who's to the real Moeko as Mary Poppins is to Miho.

You're totally on the wrong track and haven't gone nearly far enough

Entirely possible and not at all reassuring, IG...

Well so far the only people that we have seen to be able to interact with Moeko are Miho, who provided energy and life to her, and Erika who gave life to her character as portrayed in Girl Phase. In both cases where Moeko directly interacted there was a great deal of surprise. Miho was of course co...

The wand will turn into a hammer and will play Whack-A-Largo on next comic. Or Largo will use the phone to >PWN< her life support. For all the bitching I did, at least Fred knocked it out of the park. I don't know what the hell's going on at this point. Or is that a bad thing? :ph34r: She doesn't n...

Teddy, you have a nasty, suspicious mind, and I'm leaning strongly in your direction (THAT'S a first.) ... And I really, really hope Teddy's wrong about Moeko. I got back into gaming regularly in the last 9 months, so my latent grognard paranoia has been modernized with the latest edition and input...

That's not going to go the way Erika had thought it was going to go. Understatement of the chapter, right there. Maybe even the book. So, a milestone in the Megatokyo story, right up there with the power lines and Piro's panic . Is Erika going to go back to acting now? What manner of space-time-rea...

When we saw Moeko before https://megatokyo.com/strip/1540 Wait, THAT was Moeko? (I was working far too many hours when that sequence came out). Ok, I'm probably wrong about my theory if that's actually her personality. Sure doesn't seem like the girl that Ririka was talking about, though, with that...

Honestly Largo trying to tell Erika about the weirdness in MegaTokyo is like a 12 year old air soft enthusiast telling grizzled combat vets about their adventures. I doubt that Erika believes that there's any danger because she'd not take Largo in if she did I would pay money to watch that conversa...

The big question question is: Is Moeko taking over Erika or is Erika playing Moeko? My answer is: there's a difference? We've found out before https://megatokyo.com/strip/1519 that there's a pretty strong link between a magical girl / real thing / whatever and the actress that player her. There may...

That, or she's a much better actress that I thought, and is doing this for Moeko's sake. (Certainly not for Largo's mental health, such as it is.) My vote goes to your ‘or’, Roamer. =) I like that idea a lot more as well, but the body language and wording seems so out of character for Erika - talki...
