Thanks for voting!
As Benji goes for Majora’s mask,
to frighten his friend, the Dragon.
With the idea of tricking the rest,
Kai’s about to jump the wagon…
Answering questions as they go –
although not going very far.
On their own by question seven?
This quiz doesn’t set a high bar.
Soon calamity will come
and it will try and hide its’ face.
Which of our heroes will lose
and which will win with grace?
And now is when the fire alarms go off……
Luckily they didn’t :p
Public service announcement: Scaring a dragon may result in severe burns.

Funny!
Very important to know xD
Panel 5: There should be a comma at the end of “fire”.
Not really necessary. Since the line is being said rather than written, it’s more important to convey how the character is actually saying the line rather than strict literacy accuracy. Benji’s sentence is short already, it’d be jarring to add a pause for seemingly no reason.
Thanks for the tip. If I read it out loud, however, it doesn’t sound very natural to add a comma there. I’ll keep it in mind and ask for opinions on it, though.
‘fraid I’ll have to vote with Blue_Elite this time. Sorry jprime!
Already Kaya and Cleo , and now Kai and Benji : the museum is getting more in trouble XD
Last panels about masks too : http://bythebook.smackjeeves.com/comics/2399288/page81/
The museum can take it! I hope xD
Hmm… Closing in on Christmas. I can see Cleo with the mistletoe. But who will she be after..?
Thinking back to the basketball match-up… I think it’ll be Kai! 🙂
I wonder if he’s figured that out?
hehe, who knows :p
Heh, those two are lucky they didn’t set off the fire alarm and sprinklers!
Yeah, that would have been quite a problem xD
I see Loki’s mask, I suspect there are other references too but I can’t place any.
Second panel, the mask left of Kai´s head, looks a damn lot like that alien from American Dad.
Next to Loki´s mask you can see a tiny bit of the icehockey mask Jason Vorhes uses in the Friday the 13th movies, barely noticable.
the next two masks in that row seem familiar but i can´t put my finger on it.
Sharp eye ^^
I actually figured the panel 2 mask was authentic. There was one just like it on one of my history textbooks. I remember it cause I actually went through the book page by page to find it.
Loki’s mask was the only reference that I planned for. Some of the other masks do bear a resemblence to something though. Sims already picked out a few :p
Kai really should train himself NOT to use fire as a reflex action.
Let’s hope the twins never have an issue where they are banned from a place for “carrying” a “lighter”.
Benji is remarkably cool for someone provoking a dragon. 😛
They’re pretty good friends, Benji knows he doesn’t need to be afraid xD
The fire only graced the mask as well, all good :p
It looks like those horns in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th panels belong to Kai.

Kinda xD
I noticed it too but I was like ‘You know what? It’s fine as it is’ xD
Heh, THE Mask! Nice one, most people usually sneak in Majora’s instead.
Majora’s is the obvious choice. I tend to not go for obvious xD
I foresee a prank in Kaya & Cleo’s future. Not necessarily one with a good outcome though. 😉 🙂 🙂
…and next week the “real” masks will be behind fireproof glass! 😉
“Do you have a good reason to suggest we upgrade the exhibits with fireproof glass?”
*shows them security camera footage of a certain dog and dragon*
“…”
“Where do I sign?”
xD
I can’t help but think if that was Kaya, they’d be evacuating the museum fairly soon afterwards.
Kaya does tend to overreact, but burning down a museum might be just slightly too much, even for her xD
This. This right here is why unless you’re another dragon with fireproof scales you should never scare a dragon. Benji has FUR. That’s like asking to become a human? dog-hybrid? torch. Good thing he ducked, and that they didn’t set off the fire alarm. Granted, there are several species of dragons whose fire is smokeless. Maybe the Twins are hybrids with one of those species. Or are they just meant to be kind of a generic dragon hybrid, not necessarily a certain species? If it’s the former, I kinda want to see them learning about that species that they’re hybrids of. xD Well, this inane ramble has continued long enough. Thanks for taking the time to read it to whomever does, and as always Robin, stay awesome!
They just got lucky, the detectors didn’t pick up the smoke. It was also a short burst, more like a warning shot :p
They are indeed more of a general dragon hybrid. People do liken them to eastern dragons thanks to their tail fluff though :p
Honestly the more reading I do the more I lean to the German deal myself. A small friendly (and mischievous) house dragon that helps it’s host family with chores as long as they keep it happy and well fed, it can breathe fire though and tends to take slights personally.
Kaya individually fits the Portuguese Coco almost perfectly but as much as I’d like that to be the case I have to reach to fit Kai
*German drak* dang autocorrect
And we’re back to Kai and Benji, and it looks like they’re back to playful shenanigans. I like how the blue haired mask is giving Kai horns. I could see Benji incorporating these masks into his RPGs, assuming Kai doesn’t burn them by accident. They look fire repellent enough, but you never know.
Even if he burns them, he can’t take them home, so he has to make do with the memory anyway. (or take pictures with his phone, that’s a thing too :p )
Next strip : Kai and Benji grabs some masks to joke with Kaya and Cleo ……………………. Poor museum ^_^”
This can only go well xD
i can see kai and benji would go and try to scare the rest of te gang XD
Anyone else recognize the mask in the first panel?
“You said the museum was no smoking! That flame was a clean burn!”
Ah, security by substitution.
