Well those costumes are rather strange for that land…
However it IS suspicious that he’s running a sandwich stall at night in the middle of nowhere!!! None of that seems to fit, and who calls a reigning monarch THE FIRST? That would be added retroactively once there’s a second monarch with the same name.
So on the whole, he’s DEFINITELY much stranger than odd outfit choices!
Startin’ to smell like they’ve blundered into a ren faire here. Which, given the insanity of superhero lives, makes it pretty believable that they wouldn’t notice a thing and just start throwing punches.
While rare it isn’t totally unknown for the first to be included as a regnal number officially. Pope John Paul I was uniquely among popes officially designated the first. Pope Francis and others using new names (the previous one was Pope Lando (913-14)) just used their names.
In your case Klaus, you wouldn’t be saying that you’re John Paul the First. You should be saying that you’re Klaus the First. Secondly, you haven’t made the first comment, only a reply to the first comment…And it wasn’t even the First Reply either.
So WTF?
;)
As for me, I don’t put “MidnightDStroyer the First” because I have no designated heirs…
Juan Carlos I, Elizabeth II, Felipe VI, Mohamed II: all kings have numbers attached, except the Saudis. Maybe it was not that way in the Middle Ages but it has become pretty much standard in our day.
Said, that, they are Roman numerals, but guess it’s OK in a speech bubble to write it down a “the first”. It’d be much more realistic if it was Queen Sonja the Great, rather than Queen (a female title) Williams (a man’s name) the First, but fantasy settings are full of loopholes: “the First” is “the last” of your concerns here.
“William” is a male name, but “Williams” is a surname. Which would make “Queen Elizabeth II” either “Queen Windsor I” or “Queen Windsor IV”, depending on whether you have to include the 3 kings before her, or reset the count for a Queen…
Ah, so can Buckaress order by proxy without activating the effect? But she’d have to describe what she wants to Alex, and I think that would be enough to trigger it, since it’s even worked on other people preparing food when she’s just been in the room.
actually, a classic interrogation technique is to make the target angry enough that they inadvertantly blurt out information that otherwise they would try to hide. It’s even better if you can get them to monologue, as well (See: The Incredibles).
I was about to ask why it didn’t occur to them to remove the masks first, but then I remembered that they’re superheroes and they probably forget that they can remove them.

Then: “First! I am John Paul the First!”
Now: “First! I’ve made the first comment!”

So… You had to be That Guy? :D
I am thankful though. It is awkward to correct people who correct you because they misunderstood the joke yourself 0:-)
Maybe he’s set himself up to sell sandwiches to adventurers coming through the fast travel point.

Right, my bad. Or could be plural but it’d make even less sense.
I wonder: While we’re here, what will happen if Alex describes a custom sandwich for her…?
http://superredundant.com/?comic=393-eat-phresh
Huh… the style looked very much different then. And Alex a lot more attractive Oo
Do both of you mean Buckaress? Alex is the dark-skinned one with smaller… tracts of land.
If it is any help, that constantly happens to me with office colleagues too. (Yes, I meant Buckaress.)
Not me. I mean have Alex order Buck’s sandwich, the way she would like it.
We’ve already seen where Buck can’t pick a pickle off without it catching fire and I don’t remember that [possible curse] being removed.

A queen namde Williams is definitely strange.
Might be a dude in drag.
I think it’s her surname what was the a*shole king name again
Monarchs don’t have surnames: they are too medieval for that.
No, Buckaress. You don’t insult your only source of information UNTIL you’ve gleaned all the information (and food) you’re after.
actually, a classic interrogation technique is to make the target angry enough that they inadvertantly blurt out information that otherwise they would try to hide. It’s even better if you can get them to monologue, as well (See: The Incredibles).
Oh, in an interrogation, for sure.
But this is a sandwich van.
