#632 - Off they go. Vera is outside by a cave with a boulder cover. She is looking inside and there are easter eggs on a bird's nest. "Hiding the nail bombs in this cave is perfect!" She says with glee. She covers the boulder and skitters, "Hehehe they won't know what hit 'em." As time passes, the boulder cover moves, and out comes the easter eggs.

Oh so that's how they did that :0 #MRIAMcomic

#631 - Future Plans. Jack, the Old Head, and Vera are in the apartment. Jack is sitting on the couch. "That was a good stabbing," said the old Head. "Yeah, we got them 23 times!" added Vera. "I'm thinking an Easter Egg Hunt but some of the eggs are grenades," the old head muses. "That's pretty good, but I think a nail bomb would be better." As Jack continues to eavesdrop on the conversation, he grows more and more concerned.

In this thread: Easter egg recommendations, Bob-ombs only. #MRIAMcomic

#629 - Rebuilding. Vera slams the door open to the apartment with Verabot's head on top of her head. She is followed by the head of the former Association. "We are making the Murderer Association here!" She bursts in, startling Jack. "Okay, but why are you making it *here*?" Jack asks. "For women's rights..." Vera replies, with a list that says, "woman ceo, indie company, because i want to". "And women's wrongs." which specifies "murder". In the end, they decided to hold their meetings at a community center.

We must all start somewhere. #MRIAMcomic

Happy International Women's Day woooo

#628 - Breakout. Vera is standing infront of the head of the Murderer Association. She is carrying Verabot's head. "Fine." She begins, "If that's how you're gonna be..." She raises Verabot above her head, "I'll make my OWN Murderer Association!" She shouts, "With murder and more murder!" The head of the Murderer Association replies, nonchalantly, "Oh cool. Can I join?" Vera double-takes with a "Wha-" and the head grips Vera's shoulders with a menacing aura, "Get me out of here, Vera."

Alliance building is important #MRIAMcomic

#627 - Downgrade. Vera and the head of the Murderer Association are in an office. "Well, I can't help you now." The head says, "You'll have to go on murdering without a license." Vera, upon hearing this, softens, "Oh. So like, regular murder." The atmosphere becomes grave. "Regular murder..." The head clarifies, "...is illegal." Vera gasps in shock.

So, no murder? *throws phone and breaks my skateboard* #MRIAMcomic

#626 - Ticket Submit. Vera is now sitting in the office, face to face with the head of the Murderer Association. "Welp." He begins, "I don't know how, but you the first to call a human expert." He sighs. "I still can't help you with the fees, and you'll be billed the repairs for Verabot." He continues annoyingly. Vera snaps, "VERABOT was PERFECT the WAY she WAS." She says, pointed, "and then you CHANGED her." She pulls up the head of Verabot up to the Head's unamused face and menacingly says, "Look at how you massacred my girl..."

She's taking the kid(s). #MRIAMcomic
Happy late Valentine's Day!

#625 - THAT'S IT- . Vera and Verabot are at the reception. Verabot is in the process of answering Vera's query. "Firstly, you are very perceptive in your question of fees. With financial issues, you must be really savvy. It's not being frugal, it's being aware. To answer your question, the function of the fees put on by the Murderer Association are to-" Vera hits Verabot in the head with a chair. Verabot's head pops off and the wig on Verabot pops off.

E N O U G H ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #MRIAMcomic

#624 - Repurpose. Vera is at the reception of the Murderer Association. "Next, please." Calls out a robotic voice, only for Vera to recognise the person, "Verabot!?" At the counter is a mannequin with Vera's appearance and with antennas. "What're you doing here? Who got you out?" Vera asks, angry. She scoffs, and continues, "Ugh whatevs, I want to make a complaint! What's up with the fees? How am I supposed to prove my murders?" Verabot begins, "Generating..." Upon what Vera is about to experience, Vera is dumbfounded with the answer, "Proving — it's not evidence. It's justice. And Murder — it's not just killing for you. It's your passion in life. This combined with your interest in fees, suggest that you have one of the greatest minds of the century. Let's dive in."

*No AI was used during the production of this episode.
*Or ever.
#MRIAMcomic

#623 - Waiting for a Return. Vera is standing in line to the Reception of the Murderer Association. She is standing behind a man with a scruffy beard, an eyepatch on his right eye, and tactical gear, and behind her is a familiar face: a dark-skinned woman with orange sweeping short hair, brown eyes, and a striking blue outfit. Vera recognises her, "Oh Linda! Long time no see! Are you here to complain about the new fees?" Linda replies, "Nah, I'm suspending my sub." She says, defeated, "No time to kill cuz of my retail job." Vera sighs and shaking her head, "The real killers..." Linda adds, "I'm keeping the costume, though."

One day, good old-fashioned murder will be at the top again. #MRIAMcomic

#622 - Cost Transfer. Jack is holding an envelope with a black seal. "Vera, you got mail from the Murderer Association." Vera takes it and opens it with confusion, "I wonder what that's about..." She even remarks that she hasn't broken any laws so far. She reads the letter and is stunned. The text reads, "Dear Vera, due to financial reasons, the Murderer Association has to instate a monthly subscription fee to keep the association afloat." Vera reacts "They gotta be kidding me..."

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that I need to use the association-approved cleaver with my murder license otherwise I would be "breaking the law". 🙄 #MRIAMcomic

#621 - Decision Tree. Vera, Adam, and Ashley are standing in a room. "Hey Ash, Adam," Vera starts, "What are your resolutions for this year?" Adam, holding Pumpkinhead, replies, "Less ghosts." Ashley says with excitement, "More skeletons." Vera, upon hearing them, says, "I can help with one of those."

[They will remember that.] #MRIAMcomic

#620 - Simple As. Vera and Jack are at a table, and Vera is writing on a piece of paper. "For my new years resolution, I will aim for 14.5 murders." She writes. "It's not only easy to measure, but also very doable!" She says as she fiddles with her pen. "Why not just do one?" Jack asks. Vera furrows her brow angrily.

The .5 is for the ones who escape. #MRIAMcomic

#619 - Memories. Vera and Jack are sitting on the coach in the living room. Vera starts to reminisce, "Wow, what a year!" She pulls out her phone and says, "Let's look back!" and Jack leans in. It's the view of the gallery in her phone, and every single picture is her holding her cleaver and a dead person on the floor. Jack raises an eyebrow at her as she says, "Wow, those were the days..."

Look at all these chickens (people I murdered (in minecraft))! #MRIAMcomic

#618 - Decor Clash. Ashley is in the kitchen, looking at the skeleton that is on display. Vera comes in and Ashley turns to her, "Hey, Vera," Vera turns to Ashley, "Want to decorate da skeleton with me?" Time passes and the skeleton has a santa hat on and Pumpkinhead is sitting on the skeleton's hands as if holding them. Vera and Ashley are incredibly proud of the work that they did, while Jack is neutral and Adam muses to himseld, "I feel like this is blasphemy somehow..."

He's confused but he's got the spirit. #MRIAMcomic

#617 - Bowling for Punch Soup. Vera and Jack are standing the kitchen. Jack starts, "I'm thinking of making some punch." Vera continues, "You'll need some kind of container." They both imagine Pumpkinhead filled with punch. They both turn pumkinhead, and are saddened by their smaller size. Pumpkinhead remarks, "...why are you guys so upset?"

Too small. :( #MRIAMcomic

#616 - Snow Check. Vera and Jack are outside, and Vera was digging a hole and putting a body inside. When suddenly, snow is starting to fall. "Oh it's snowing!" Vera says. She takes out her phone, to which Jack asks, "What are you doing?" Vera replies, "I'm checking how much snow we're getting." Jack, preemptively, is cross as he has a specific idea in mind. "...What?" Vera asks, feeling accused. "I'm STILL gonna bury the body!" She throws her hands up, "Geez, what do you take me for?"

You have to clean up your own messes, even if it's a dead body. #MRIAMcomic

#615 - Test. The panels are structured after the game, "No, I am not a Human." Vera is sitting on the couch and a "Talk" bubble appears as she lights up. Vera is staring at the player, commenting, "Man, this apocalypse is crazy." There are two options, "What are you...?" and "I need to test you," with an energy cost. Vera shows her eyes, teeth, and hands, all hyper-realistic but still retaining the cartoony style. Her aura photograph shows a red emanation, and a hand hold a cleaver which are both stained in blood. The options, "Leave her be." and "Pull out the gun," highlighted appear below. The player pulls out their gun. Vera pulls out her cleaver and remarks, "Shame."

Well, that didn't last very long. #MRIAMcomic

#614 - Door. The panels opens up at nighttime. The perspective shifts to the front door, where there is a knocking. A UI element has "Look" referencing the peep hole. Looking in, Vera is on display. "Oi. Let me in." She says. The UI presents the choices, "Let her in." and "You should leave." This is a reference to the gameplay of "No, I am not a Human".

Would ye...? #MRIAMcomic

#613 - Rolling Out. Vera is looking outside from the kitchen. "Wow, the fog is real strong today." In rolls a mannequin head resembling Vera and antennae. "Oh Verabot! How did you come out of the closet?" Vera asks the mannequin. "How did you get the wig on?" Verabot replies monotone, "Newton's laws of physics and sheer force of will." Verabot adds, "Also outside temperatures have made me operational."

Just gotta keep rolling. #MRIAMcomic

#612 - Repurpose. Vera, Jack, and Adam, who is holding Pumpkinhead, stand in front of the now skeleton. Vera asks, "So there was a ghost here...?" "I mean, you did dig up this skeleton, right?" remarks Adam, "It's not that surprising then." "So..." Vera pauses, "Like, do we keep it here, or...?" Cuts to the skeleton, decorating with a christmas wreath.

Everyone asks "what's the vibe" but not "how's the vibe". #MRIAMcomic

#611 - Next Time. In the kitchen, Adam is holding Pumpkinhead and they are watching the ghost that is bound to the skeleton disappear. "Wow I didn't know these flavours could exist!" The ghost sighs and continues, "I feel myself fading into the ghost world." Pumpkinhead comments to Adam, "No one tell them about boba and matcha lattes." "Wait, what-" the ghost quickly remarks before full disintegrating into the ghost world.

Mr Pumpkinhead i don't feel so good (i'll be back next year) #MRIAMcomic

#610 - Transference. Adam is standing in the kitchen between the hanging skeleton Ghost and Pumpkinhead, who asks, "Father Adam, could you give my friend my pumpkin spice latte? The one on the skeleton." Adam looks over and turns back to Pumpkinhead, "It depends from ghost to ghost," he says as and he picks up the mug, "but on a skeleton, it's very simple." Adam turns around and splashes the latte onto the skeleton, who nervously comments, "Not sure how, this would work-" and is cut-off by the delight of the drink rushing into him.

I feel the flavours in my B O N E S . #MRIAMcomic

#609 - Ghostbound. Pumpkinhead sits on the table at the Kitchen and notices the ghost that is bound to the posed skeleton hung on the wall. "Oh! Hey!" "Huh?" The ghost is startled. "You can see me?" Pumpkinhead asks, not addressing the question, "Do you want a sip of my Pumpkin Spice Latte?" "That's very nice of you..." The ghost replies, sadly, "But alas, I am stuck like this." Pumpkinhead retorts, "Not with that attitude."

What does a Ghost Spice Latte taste like........ #MRIAMcomic

#608 - Organic. Vera and Jack are standing in the living room doing decorations for the spooky season. A skeleton hangs posed. Jack lets out a load "Whoa!!". Vera replies, "Neat, huh? Got them for a bargain!" Jack remarks, "I almost thought that skeleton was real." "Yeah, it's missing some bones," Vera clarifies, "but it's more or less complete!" Jack becomes concerned.

Our skeletons are home-grown and ethically sourced. :) #MRIAMcomic

#607 - Opening Up Senses. Pumpkinhead is looking out of the window. A wind blows ominously, as some spectres pass by. "...I feel it." Pumpkinhead begins. "The line between the ghost world and the material world is starting to blur..." They explain. "Soon..." The camera pans back to next to the pumpkinhead, with a mug with a big dollop of whipped cream. "...That pumpkin spice latte will be mine."

Where is pumpkin in pumpkin spice? 🤔🤔🤔 #MRIAMcomic

#606 - Replacements. A visibly disgruntled Vera and a happy Ashley with the rabbit Morty in her bag enter the room with a "we're back" and Jack replies with a "oh welcome back!". Vera hands a kitchen knife to Jack, with a "Yeah whatever, here's your kitchen knife back." Jack graciously takes the knife. "Look," he begins, "proud of you or my condolences on letting the guy go..." and switches "...but one knife? Seriously?" he asks frustrated, "where is the rest of the set?"

Do you know how much a good kitchen knife set costs? It's A LOT. #MRIAMcomic

#605 - Rewriting. Vera and Ashley are standing outside the building. Ashley is on the phone with Jack, while Vera is scowling with her arms crossed. "So yeah, Jack, we got thrown out of the function." Ashley starts, "Yeah, Mike was defending himself with plates, and when it was over, he just vanished!" She comments also, "It was very impressive, tbh." "He did not vanish!" Vera snaps, "I LET HIM leave!" Vera stares at Ashley angrily for a beat, before Ashley turns and comments, "Oh so that's what happened!" Vera resigns, "Sigh... I will get a Bluber."

Denial IS a river in Egypt. >:( #MRIAMcomic

#604 - Escalation. Vera and Mike are at a standoff. Vera in frustration, "Arrghh what's with this guy? Nothing's working!" Mike chuckles to himself. "What're you gonna do, huh?" He taunts, "Use a bigger knife?" "You know what?!" Vera shouts, furiously, "YEAH!!!" It zooms out and Vera is holding a giant Buster Sword, "WHEN YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT-"

I WILL, IN FACT, STAB YOU (in minecraft) #MRIAMcomic

#603 - Outside Norms. Ashley is sitting behind a flipped table while Vera and Mike trade blows in the background. "Hey, Jack?" Ashley says on the phone, "why does Vera have so many blades?" "Isn't that normal...?" Jack replies, confused. "Well, I told Vera Morty did not vibe with Mike," Ashley explains, "and then she came by, and started fighting him???" "Ah, I see." Jack nods. "I guess it *is* a bit strange." The perspective changes to him looking inside the cupboard where knives are supposed to be. "Right?" Affirms Ashley, "Normally, it's 1 or 2 blades, not 10."

How am I supposed to make my salad now >:( #MRIAMcomic

#602 - Split Second. Vera and Mike are at the function. Vera attempts to stab Mike, but he reacts in the last second with a plate to perfectly block the stab. Vera is surprised, and Mike Akira slides from the impact. He reveals an ominous smile. He has expected this.

This battle will be legendary! #MRIAMcomic
