it's probably fine

for the Hellsing abridged fans: "VERY enthusiastic walks"
If it was weird because it says "Thou shalt commit adultery", then it would be worth a lot of money!
any chance i could borrow that Bible Nelson? for reasons.
^(;,;)^
Nelson, buddy… what the hell?
Many Bibles - particularly older printings - are bound in cow skin. Human skin is a bit too thin, and not nearly tough enough for book-binding. It wouldn't hold up very well.
I've heard a couple medical books from the 1800s were bound in human skin but I'm not 100% on that. Would be cool to se but I bet you are right on the durability
That's odd... on page 237 it says "Jebus".
Oh please let Yay be on the invite list!
And May. Seeing those two in the same group ought to be interesting. And Winslow apparently goes... https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-dapu-pr
Nelson used to order those mugs by the case, but he started dreading when the receptionist would inform him of their arrival.
Crossover with somethingpositive time. New friend!
What does Nelson's mug read? "I ...." - Humans? - Moms? - Mondays? I think the latter, but I'm not sure
Well, I zoomed in, and I'm gonna say Mondays.
So, it wasn't one of those bibles from Tijuana?
Pintsize has a collection of those
So Nelson is basically a QC version of Peppermint Butler?
you know I had not given any thought to a.i. and whether any follow religion. Though to be fair this series, and I think this may be by design, doesn't bring up religion often at all.
I vaguely remember something about some AIs devoting a certain amount of processing time to religious-ish reflection. I more vividly remember someone (May? Melon? Seems more like a Melon thing) asking a priest about AI souls and also clerical weapon restrictions.
I'd join this group in a heartbeat, and I'm a sober alcoholic.

I like Nelson, but I'm biased
Having this post come out late at night on Easter adds some extra special flair!
"A weird Bible" is a phrase with untold & likely untapped potential. Also, weird.bible is available.
So we now know Nelson is going to accidentally summon a Succubus who also is a paralegal. This will not end well for that corporation.
Don't worry, the laser printer likes it this way too.
“ANTHROPC LOAD LETTER”
Well at least he's making sure to be careful.

What would be wierder: A. Printed bible bound in human skin B. Digital bible stored in a human-appearing synthetic AI chassis
I like Nelson.

Nelson enjoys finding hollow stumps and logs for chilling
If Nelson can do tech-magic, I wanna see a body swap between Bubbles and Faye.
Bubbles needs a girls night!
Bubbles takes "go hard or go home" literally.
Maybe it's the Unrighteous Bible, or the Wicked Bible, or the Fool's Bible, or the Owl Bible, or the Buggre Alle This Bible...
Klaatu Barada N... necktie... nectar... nickel...
Nocturne? Nectarine? Nicotine? Nunchucks? Nickelback?
Can we point out how different this universe is? You can be walking through the woods, and come across pintsize anthroPCs and possibly spiderbots. If they were in a vindictive mood they could really freak someone out. In a completely different direction you could have a group getting away from society that puts up solar panels, makes concrete mushrooms, wears white and all go with a blue frames.
Enthusiastic midnight walks in the woods
I'll bet you anything it's just a regular leather-bound Bible, but "not HUMAN skin" sounds much cooler.
....does that mug say "I heart Mondays"?
I read it as "I heart condoms", but I'm also intoxicated ATM.
Please have Nelson become a necromancer in the background over the course of the next few in-universe weeks and never comment on it.
Techromancer. Have that storyline culminate in his resurrecting/reconstructing Roko's original body.
Someone is missing from that list, and they won't appreciate it.
Or they'll consider it an opportunity to show off and show up anyway.
Hoping Brun will get added and this will turn into another "was that a date?" for Millefeuille, because we need MORE CONFUSED ROBOT/HUMAN DATING/NOT DATING.
everyone's talking about the weird bible and no-one's talking about the UPCOMING ROBOT GIRLS NIGHT OUT! Beeps and Melon and Millefeuille partying together ... something chaotic is gonna happen and i'm here for it
Just because it's not human skin doesn't mean it's NOT skin... Jeepers Nelson just burn the damned thing!!
Well, yeah. "Leather-bound" is using cow skin.
Invite Crushbot along! I'm sure it'll probably be fine.
I am equally excited both to see the cute robot hangout and to learn more about Nelson's creepy bible
its human *something*
It's human foreskin. If you rub it the right way, it turns from a duodecimo to a folio.
Even if it's not human skin, there's still a 80% chance it'll summon Yog-Sothoth.
Pintzothoth
Is this where the light-hearted slice of life comic turns into a serious drama about summoning demons and a titanic battle of good against evil that will destroy half of the life in the universe including Claire and Bubbles so Faye and Marten can finally get together?
As one who really wanted for Faye and Marten to get together some number of years ago (my heart really broke for poor Marten for like 5 episodes)...I think they are both in infinitely better relationships for their respective current selves at this point.
Reconsider, Nelson. This is something you're going to want to witness. From a safe distance. Three or four blocks I'd say.
So glad to be here for the start of QC's Lovecraftian horror arc
Iä Yay-Niggurath! Iä Martinlathotep!
Not skin, or not ‘human’ skin?
It's not so common any more, but there are still leather-bound books. That's skin - usually calfskin or pigskin, I believe. It is kind of weird, but in the same sense as shoes made from leather.
Nelson might be too cool about this.
Nelson rubs the lotion in, restores the condition of skin
I would love to know more about Nelson.
Was it something from the Lovecraft canon? Miskatonic isn't terribly far away.
I need to join Nelson's book club. . o O (And weird bible study group.)
I am enjoying this way too much.
Groovy
