At last the Nearlies go to do the thing that they were made for. The test run reaches its climax and we see if the Sacred Curses can stand up to the Great Awe of the Glorious and their loyal Herald. The first round of this battle is not fought in the flesh, or even in the mind, but in the soul, and the stakes are higher than death. The Nearlies psyche’s are strained to bursting by a vile and cunning force… but somehow we still manage to laugh our asses off through pretty much the whole episode. Sometimes when the night closes in, the pain seems too much to bear, just have a fucking laugh right in the face of the void itself. Begin Arc 1 Climax! Pretend like we knew what was going to happen! HERE WE GO!
