The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 9 Ch. 119 - The Flying Broom

[Desden]

@Tamerlane since he isn't dead, I'd say no, because if that worked like that, then his cells should also be dead, with his entire body

 

[Kisato]

Just a dash of darkness.

Probably

Now I don't know about you but I think sitting on a broom like that would be a bit if trouble for the family jewels.

That's why in Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality they use saddles for brooms. Harry thought it's weird, too:

... seriously, broomsticks? He was going to fly on, basically, a line segment? Wasn't that pretty much the single most unstable shape you could possibly find, short of attempting to hold on to a point marble? Who'd selected that design for a flying device, out of all the possibilities? Harry had been hoping that it was just a figure of speech, but no, they were standing in front of what looked for all the world like ordinary wooden kitchen broomsticks. Had someone just gotten stuck on the idea of broomsticks and failed to consider anything else? It had to be. There was no way that the optimal designs for cleaning kitchens and flying would happen to coincide if you worked them out from scratch.

@Tamerlane My theory is that because his sperm are probably considered part of him, they'd be like a ranged attack and kill stuff on contact like he does. Whole new meaning to spermicide.

I love how cool Rob is with the broom flying in the mansion.

Alice is a daughter of a witch, so yeah....it really suit her.

Just realized one benefit of the curse would be that you are always completely sterile, and can never get any kind of infectious disease. But if that was true then the gut bacteria would also die, meaning digestive issues and potential malnourishment. This does however depend on whether the curse only applies to the exterior of the body, and whether microorganisms are affected.

 

[MangaMonger]

Well that was quite direct of her.

 

[darkmatter923]

Woah, that was a dark thought for the Duke to have.

 

[Ruzand]

@Glomoro it was stated that the fluid that came from the duke is safe, he tried spitting on a plant.

No, she's not. They have never once said that Sharon was a witch. In fact, Keto explicitly said she was human when she saw her body- the witches make a distinction.

Pretty sure he's gotten sick before, so...
