How screwed would Victor be? I don't know what prompted Blain to make that announcement on the Demon Hunters' policies, but we know it wasn't Charby-and-Vic related. What would happen if Blaine DID find out that Victor was hanging with Charby?
It would certainly be messy. We know that Blaine HATES vampires, especially after what happened to his parents, and we know he hated/feared Charby, even before that whole thing with Vikki. (To quote Blaine '...The Little Devil! And he's killed so many hunters!') Blaine told Vic he thinks of his hunters as family, so Charby's been killing people that are important to him. AND he still thinks Charby killed Victoria. He doesn't know that Quixoto did it.
He also thinks of Victor as a brother. His brother hanging out with the thing that killed Victoria... that would be upsetting.
Best case sinario: he fires Vic. Worst case sinario: he might actually try to hurt Vic.
What do you think, people?

I'd imagine Blaine would figuratively explode, but be quick to collect himself. I think the situation would cause Vic to lose his job, but I doubt it would be permanent. On the other hand, Blaine might just be sinister enough to want to take advantage of the situation. With a hunter so close and involved in the demon community, Blaine could learn a lot and become much better equipped to fight them. Wort case scenario, Blaine snaps and, from losing Victoria and all the other hunters and what happened to his parents, the overwhelming rush of emotion would cause him to possibly turn homicidal towards Vic. It's difficult to say, but I doubt Blaine will be forever in the dark.

Blaine would probably fire him. In fact, if Charby did turn killable, Vic may still do him in. He wasn't happy when Charby showed up at first, almost everything in their current relationship is dictated by Charby. To be honest, while Blaine still wouldn't buy it, the friendship has done more to curb the little bloodsucker's rampage than trying to kill the practically invincible.
I doubt Blaine would try to kill Vic after all the demons he has, and continues to kill.

No matter how it plays out, I'm sure it'll be horrible for all involved. Blaine would be uspet that Vic has been 'fratrinizing with the enemy' especially with Charby. Vic would be miserable from losing his job, and I don't think he really likes lieing to his boss all that much. He likes his boss, even if he might not be friends with the guy, and he certainly feels worse about the situation after he finds out that Blaine doesn't suspect him of any wrongdoing at all, and thinks of him as a brother. As for Charby, he would certainly feel bad for Vic's sudden job loss, and I would go so far as to wager that he might feel a little guilty about the whole thing. I mean, after Vic had said they couldn't be friends any more, he DID admit that it would be selfish of him to cause Victor to lose his job. He might have been trying to spin the unfortunate incident into a more bareable situation, but I think if Vic DID lose his job that sentiment would come back.
And another thought: what would it take for Blaine to believe that Charby isn't actually all that bad? It'd have to be a heck of a lot. I wonder if he would even believe that Quixoto killed Vikki and not Charby. Although, for that, it might be a case of 'they're all murderers, and they'd all need to die'.

Considering Blaine's lenience toward Tony, I'd be willing to bet he may be a bit more open minded in the future. He will definitely still want to kill demons, but I'm hoping he'll be able to at least tolerate the ones that aren't harmful. But still, it's hard to say.Maybe Blaine really will never find out (I hope not. That's a whole lot of good plot that'd be missed out on). One of the things that so draws me to the comic is change. The story isn't episodic, and it's like touring the world to try every kind of food instead of trying everything on just one menu. Yes, I did use that analogy, just to say "menu"; rather pointless, that... But yeah, I hope Blaine doesn't become a self-stereotype or anything. If, in fact he must remain as he is, I hope there will be plot to support it, although the deal with his family might be enough, depending on what the entire situation entails.

Depending on how Blaine takes that note (I really, really don't think he saw it before he told Glenn 'it alerted me to some breaches in security. I think he was talking about the fact that Tony could get in at all, not the note he left. I mean, the guy had been in the meat locker the whole time, no?) he might. I think the fact that he doesn't kill bunny-demons is promising. The fact that they kill 'repeat offenders' is not. Even if Blaine shows mercy to other demons, I wouldn't be suprised if vampires were is sticking point. They are responsible for all the major losses that we've seen. (Mom, Dad and Vikki) Even if he manages to grudgingly accept some vampires, I think the only way he'd even tolerate Vic and Charby's friendship is if he learned it was Quixoto that killed Vikki, and not the vampirate.

It's only been mentioned in passing, but Charby has slaughtered quite a few hunters, he only let Vic get away coz he was interested in what he sensed on him.

Indeed, that and he probably figured that Gramma wouldn't like it if he killed her grandson, but as he got to know Vic, he got to like Vic as a person, not just some kind of puzzle. I mean, he has called Vic his brother at LEAST twice. I don't think he does that lightly. AND, when he was listing the things he'd miss about hanging with the Marlows he mentioned that weird thing he sensed last, or near the end.

Yeah, I don't think Blaine is entirely stuck on the idea of demon as an enemy, as a whole, given what we've seen, so it may be possible that he'd be surprisingly accepting, but in all likelihood, Vic would get fired. Ooh... then maybe he could work for demons? THAT WOULD BE SO FLIPPIN' COOL!!! But then, for all we know, Blaine may be among the first of the "classic" cast to die, as I'm sure many inevitably will. Geez, I'm thinking of nearly every possibility aren't I? If Amy wants to do the "write what they didn't expect" thing, I'd better shut.

Hm, he's sort of already working for demons, isn't he, though? At least with the Elites. Although that is more them assuming things than Vic actually doing stuff for them. It's been working well for him so far, though.
This whole discussion line is pretty cool. I personally can't wait until this plotpoint come up in the story. And I hope Amy doesn't shove this under some other plotline like I've seen some shows do. ('Oh, by the way, so-and-so is [super big secret with consiquences that will affect how people think, and definately draw a reaction]' Other person: 'Oh.' and never thinks about it again.) I HATE that. Because some things are IMPORTANT and you can't just sweep them under the rug.

What I meant was that Vic could hunt demons FOR demons. I mean it's basically all he's good at. Although I don't know how payment would work with that.
And yes, this is a plotline that, not only warrants its own story arc, but could possibly become a factor in the plot of the entire story.

Well, the Elites seem to like him where he's at right now (killing demons) so, yeah. But if he did get fired, he would probably have a job like Sadik's (sp?) where he'd be some kind of mercinary or something. Get hired for 'jobs' and then get paid at the end. Only with demons.
I sure hope it will. It might be already, what with Vic having to balance his brother's condition and his friendship with Charby with his work. And then on hunts he's had Nicklodeon, the king of super-bad timing, popping up to help him (granted, h really needed it), along with that stuff Zerlocke gave him for Hecktor... I mean, it'd be sticky if Blaine even found out about that stuff because Amy said that hunters aren't allowed to use magic at all. Vic's hip-deep and wading ever deeper. When it explodes, I hope it'll be fun to watch.

Yeah. I think it'd be cool to see for a bit, if only for the fact that demon's would be his bosses.
Hah... Nickelodeon.

An encounter between Vic and Saddick in this line of work could happen. If it did, I'm sure there'd be quite a few "one-eye" related jokes and/ or banter between the two.

Ugh, I suppose I deserved that jibe, concidering I was too lazy to look up the proper spelling, and it's RIGHT THERE in the comic. (Somewhere. In that huge archive...) I might be misreading and taking this too personally, but I am SO tired, it isn't even funny.

Yes~ I love it. Vic mispronouncing the names of the Elites seems, to me, almost like his only way of fighting back/protesting. I mean, true, he DOES get vampiric help when he really needs it (Menu's wolfwere sire) but, I mean, come on! The guy has no real choice in the matter, am I right? Feeble resistance, but amusing none the less. I can see Charby doing the same thing, or something similar when he starts getting... tired of the Elite Council. (This would be before he starts OBJECTING to their plans. If ya know what I mean)
@odin: Nah, it's ok. Just so long as you don't start freaking out over ALL of my (many) spelling mistakes. Then we'll have problems. Remember; it's all fun and games, until someone loses an 'I'.

That is quite possibly the best grammar-specific pun I have ever heard. I will steal it for my "webcomic".(Which is entirely based on wordplay) It's in quotations because A.) I just started it and am unsure of whether to put it on DD and B.) I neither have an update schedule nor long term plans for it.

No worries, I'm no grammar nazi. I only correct the spelling of those trying to sound intelligent but using uncommon words like when people say "Romanji" instead of "Romaji" when refering to japanese words spelled using the roman alphabet.

I am a grammar Nazi, but a forgiving one. I'll usually only point something out if it's a funny mistake or just plain awful grammar.

Post by ihonestlydontknow on Feb 21, 2011 12:36:13 GMT -5
Wonderful. Then we shan't have problems. The only time I use awful grammer is when its in aid of a joke. Funny mistakes are fine, I'm just really embarrassed about this one because the mistake is in the heading/title of the discussion, and it seems to me that that heading should be proper, and all correct. You know what I mean?
Ah, if you're stealing my pun then there isn't much hope for me stopping you, is there? Well, I hope to see this alleged 'webcomic' someday, if the pun of my gray matter is going to be in it. And I happen to enjoy wordplay.

I use bad grammar for effect, but my own is so bad that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other starts.

I use bad grammar for effect sometimes, so perhaps I'm not a grammar Nazi, per se; more like a grammar vigilante. You can read the "webcomic" here: the1truesushiboy.deviantart.com/gallery/28592526But be forewarned, I'm making them erratically, so "updates" are whenever I actually make the next page.

I have an inner-editor, and I would like to become and editor, so the 'inner' part is debateable. Except for the spelling part. There's no hope for me there.
Highly amusing. ^^ Wordplay is so fun... your comic is kind of like xkcd for the wordy.
Heh, isn't it amazing how off topic a conversation can get?
