Chateau Grief 268

Xander: It doesn’t look like me.

Dude: It’s not you.

Dude: Bunch of revolutionaries have a bounty out on a picture of the Evil Overlord so they can get this riot going properly.

Dude: I’ve only seen him once. But you’d be a dead ringer for him if you were twenty years younger.

Xander: Because I’m an old man?

Xander: Old men have grandchildren and wives of fifty years and a beer belly fed by good home cooking, a quip for every passing yokel, a fishing story, checkered curtains, mow the grass every Saturday.

Xander: Old men are ugly and no one sees their hideousness. They’re loved for the beauty that they build around themselves…by the lives they provide a refuge for.

Xander: I’m not really old.

Dude: Well. You’ve done me a good turn, friend. I’ll just touch this up and we’ll be one step closer to freedom for the people, eh?

Xander: Don’t mention it.

Author Notes:

Now Xander, if we can just get you to realize that the word you're searching for when referring to yourself isn't 'old' but 'scary' we'll have made progress.  

NOTE:  Check out the new Short Story for Webtoon's contest :CODENAME MAGIC  

Wonder what sort of trouble Evil Overlord Xander got himself into back when life was simpler and he was a hippie?  Wonder no more!  Twenty-year-old Xander’s got to go see a man about a little green alien artifact, and as you may start to suspect, there’s more going on here than meets the eye. It’ll finish in 3 long episodes and it’s a contest so please stop by webtoons and give me a fav and a follow.  

Episode Recap:


So we have Xander: the Artist’s Impression.  Notice he’s wearing a shirt.  Shirts are essential.  Xander critiques the execution of the likeness, and Dr. John lets drop the purpose of the impromptu art, he’s gonna sell it to the Diamond Warriors Resistance in order for them to gin up a pitchfork wielding mob.  I mean, he’s got a point.  Qureshi needs this portrait desperately.  Dr. John gets an age dig in there too and sends Xander into a mini rant about what the meaning of age.  Everything he wants to be and isn’t: notably, popular with the proletariat.  Dr. John is so smug through all this, did you notice, he’s just enjoying jerking Xander’s chain for sure.
