Comic buff with a thought, I notice the P5MM art and composition is more striking and closer to p5's art and style than the other manga, which is fine, but kinda... flat. (I find myself thinking there's something missing when I read it, then I look back at P5MM and I notice how there's more clever paneling, imagery, and stylistic choices akin to the games in it (like that one goro panel ya had a rant about) and I realize what's missing) That could be why P5MM is brought up more, just a guess. I dunno how you feel about all that though, I'm curious.

Under the cut cause it gets long cause of pictures:

I am very big on art style and visual presentation. I do actually judge a book by it's cover (manga, game, movie, show, yadda). If I find something pleasing to my eye I'll read it.....even if the contents are trash. Domestic Girlfriend is one, horrible manga (didn't finish, was holding out for Momo, aka best girl, and getting closure for her....then I bounced). Didn't watch the anime (didn't need to I was way ahead in the manga I think), but I know that opening is wasted on it. ldskfjaf Don't invest your time into it, it's not worth it, you would probably learn better morals from P5.......probably. But yeah I found the art style pleasing enough to try it out (I's not amazing by any means, but I like looking at it....or did.....that writing man....dat was bad ;w;).... *waves hands vaguely in air* yeah.

Fun fact, it's why I got into Persona. I happened across an ad for P4 on the PS2 in the Gameinformer magazine, it showed a screenshot from an animated cutscene plus one of the fully body art for the chars and I was like "Yes this is my jam!" (which only doubled down when I read what it was about, and it was a murder mystery and the article also talked up "the mystery of the glasses" which fakldjsalkfs yeah). So yeah it really clicked for me.

Tbh it's why I'm probably going to get back into freaking Bleach, and it's why I got into it and Naruto over One Piece (I don't think I'll ever read ON I'm sorry). Tite Kubo has sexy art what can I say? Can't trust a thing that man writes now but eh. It's also the reason I read a lot of Shojo (and now Yuri) manga, cause their art style is usually what I find very appealing (even if I've read the same gd shojo love story just by a different name for the 1000th time, give me the flowers and sparkly eyes! they are my life blood!)

And I've mentioned I really like Saito's art style. I've (attempted) to color some of his pieces on top of animate some manga frames (most of which I haven't actually published......I...I should....get around to finishing those up....haha...aha....haaaa). I really like his art, it's pleasant. But even with good art, I can still see past it and see what BS it's peddling and it can hamper my enjoyment of it. If I don't look at the context of the scene or the words on the page, I can be down with it. But when I'm reading.......I get annoyed. I balk at anything with Goro. I guffaw whenever Makoto's on screen (cause Saito nails her from P5, she acts useful but really she's useless but the narrative views her as useful it ironically makes her useless......it's the weirdest thing I've ever witnessed >.>). Like Saito really.....gets P5 it seems, down to it's flaws even (tho he can actually make the good parts of P5 shine, or at least parts that P5 failed to execute....execute in a way). But he also makes the flaws.....shine that much harder for me.

Now the Reg manga? it's nothing special art style wise, in fact it starts off VERY wonky, and while still wonky, has gotten a lot....better/cuter (esp Ryu). Not like shojo cute just.......I wanna squish their wittle faces cute (at times when it's not serious).

Like when it comes to Reg Manga these are the two pieces that have appeared in it that I feel kinda hit the P5 mark in terms of style:

(look at Mona, coming into this world like the pustule that he is 8U)

Which isn't much, but it's something. At least Reg's AOA is better looking than the anime. 8U

But I dunno, as the chapters go on, the Mangaka allows for more cuter expressions, and I just like their neat:

(btw I colored that page)

I dunno, it's not as overtly cutsey as Saito:

But they are still charming in a more simple way (without out having them go full chibi), it subtle but it gives it flavor. "Silly why are most, if not all those pics of Ryu and Anne?" I dunno guys maybe you should ask them how their backs are doing, cause they're the ones who are carrying the Reg manga when it comes to this! 8U

Tho I do think the first ch or two of Reg does a better job capturing P5's feel than the rest of the chapters, I think the mangaka is just.....bogged down by exposition and the game's BS that a lot of text on their pages so it almost reads like a novel:

ALots of text, not the most dynamic of framing with the panels. It's kinda eh. I haven't really read the manga past the 2nd dungeon tbh (I mean......as the residential #1 Makoto hater, I think that's fair.....that I'd start to zone out during my least fav dungeon....and then continue zoning out during my 2nd least fav dungeon askfdjaflk)

But during the first two dungeon arcs, I liked how.....bad the PT were at thieving, I liked how green they were. It was obviously a learning process. I also like some of the fight choreo (Saito did the best hand to hand one in the series in P4U's Yu vs Sho....which I actually animated....spoiler.....no I have no released that...my dumbass wants to tempt fate and see if I can redo it in color even tho it took me 4 days non stop to get that animated in just black and white.....but I am a fool so alas 8U). I mean it's not mind blowing, but it was simple and decently thought out, which is more than I feel like we usually get (esp with the anime shows....or at least P4/5's).

But I think what draws me in is....it's lack of P5 style. P5 style has them being still oh so cool despite being new at everything. It's tired me out. P5's how identity is style. It's....style over substance (gonna rile some feathers with that....Cvit(?) vid title). But P5 is overtly stylish, to the point it......weighs on me. Drags me down. Tires me out. I don't think they're cool, I'm bored with it. Ironically, Reg manga lacks that, which......def would make someone (and me usually) give it much of a passing glance. It's very basic I guess. But.....consider me, being in P5 hell, surrounded by all it's nausea inducing stylishness, sees a small break in the hellish hurricane to see.......normalcy. It kinda makes me connect better with the kids (kinda, it's still P5).

They feel like normal kids, trying to do their thing (sometimes trying to look/act cool and failing), and.....it's just the absolute antitheses to P5's brand......and I think that's why I like it. KLFJDSAFLKJA;

Anyway, who knows, maybe when I catch up on Reg in english and re-read MM with the official translation I might change my mind about a few things, or at least how I rank them. But for post length sake, and my sanity sake, I think I should keep the anime and mangas out of the "Which entry do you hate least" post......because I should just make another post where I go into both mangas as well as compare and contrast the anime! :D I'm just delaying some insanity for later haha....

Wait.........I just remember Day Breakers exists......and I liked it....still do....don't have much issue with it. Well shit, that is probably the one entry I hate the least. fklsdjfalkjdfkla;jsL;FJljsfdlskafaj *sobs* nO NO, I committed, and that's just a sad loophole. fdklsajflakfj *sobs* I still need to the game thing, cause let's be honest, the games are where it counts.

So right now my ranking for manga/anime is:

Daybreakers>Reg manga> MM>>>>>>>>>>TV Show Anime and it's OVAs (may the burn in the hell fire from which they spawned)

Oh, one last thing, forgot to put it in but I dunno where to put it now. I like how the manga tones down the pervyness some:

I mean Ryu is a fellow monkey. u_u .......but it's for the best I don't have to see his ape expression. ;w; (iirc the pyramid scene was a lot shorter/faster, but that's by the grace of reading and books rather than animation I suppose).

#silly asks #silly answers #i can't believe day breakers is what I hate least dfkjsalfjaf

A rogue storm had her presumed dead and stranded on the red planet. Left on her own, astronaut Aelin Galathynius has four years to make it to the next drop-site, some two thousand miles. Armed with her smarts and dwindling supplies, Aelin attempts to survive on an inhospitable planet, when the nearest help is only millions of miles away.

masterlist - ao3 - last chapter - next chapter

+*+*+*+*+*+*

“Commander, Rukhin probe approaching.”

“Copy that, Major. Ready for docking.”

Elide had her headset on and was in the rec room, wearing Lorcan’s hoodie and a pair of his sweats, anxiously watching out the window as he guided the probe into the docking station, tethered to the outside of the ship in his extravehicular - EVA - suit.

Everyone else was on the flight deck, but she wasn’t needed there. As she fiddled with her ring, her brows knitting together, she listened to Lorcan, “Probe has docked. Looking good, Major.”

“Roger that, Commander.” Fenrys’ voice was cool and smooth – this was really where he thrived. “And… docking is complete. Nice work everyone.”

There were a few quiet cheers and Elide let out a long breath, smiling softly and waving at Lorcan as he caught her gaze and bowed as best as he could in outer space. She giggled and pressed her hand to the glass, “We got it, guys.” Elide kept her eyes on him and she could make out two dimples on his cheeks - a smile just for her.

Fenrys let loose a howl and soon, they were all joining in, their frayed nerves soothed by the success.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Aelin was sitting on top of the modified rover-wagon. It looked like a Blackbeak caravan made of billion-dollar equipment. Her eyes found the teeny tiny camera in her helmet and she addressed it, speaking thoughtfully. “It’s now day four-sixty-one.” She nodded to the hill a few kilometres away, “The FAV’s just over that hill. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on my drive. Well, it was either that or panic about the decaying radioactive battery riding shotgun so…”

She trailed off, looking at the red sand hills. “There’s this treaty that says that no country can lay claim on any land that’s not on Earth. TNSB owns the hab, and these rovers. But the second I step out of either one, there’s this other treaty that states if you aren’t in any country’s territory, maritime land applies. Which means that Farnor is international waters.”

She hopped down, eyes roving over the load vehicles that carried all that was keeping her alive. The oxygenator, the atmosphere regulator, the water reclaimer, and hundreds of frozen cooked potatoes were all squared away. Aelin had never been this organized; Elide would be proud. “Now, I’m travelling from the Anascaul crater to Mistward.

“I’ve crossed international waters to commandeer a vehicle and no one explicitly gave me permission to do so, so technically, that makes me a pirate.”

A wicked grin split her face in two, “A space pirate.”

Eventually, the rover had charged and Aelin was back in the driver’s seat, steadily making her way over the last three kilometres. It was a weird feeling.

Everywhere she went, she was the first. Billions of years and now… Aelin. The only person who had ever been alone on a planet. She didn’t like to think of it too much, it caused her heart to grow with an ache she couldn’t place and winded her under the knowledge that she could very well never make it off the face of this earth.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

“Sartaq?”

The rocket scientist looked up at Gavriel, slightly grainy through the video call, “Oh, Gavriel. Hi.”

“Hi,” Gavriel answered him slowly, apprehensive. “Is everything alright?”

Sartaq and Manon, from her perch on the edge of his desk, exchanged a wary look before Sartaq answered, “We just want to start this off by saying you won’t like it.”

Gavriel really, really didn’t want to know. “…what is it? Manon?”

The white-haired woman looked uneasy and unnerved, “Well, thing is…” she trailed off as Luca popped into the frame, scaring Gavriel halfway to an early grave.

“Oh, hey, man! What’s popping?”

“Hello, Luca, how are you?”

“I’m great, my guy, this RPL lab is pretty dope and I got to see my dads so that’s pretty sick – thanks for flying me out and everything.”

“Luca. The plan?” Manon prompted him, her exasperation clear. Gavriel was sure the only reason Luca was still alive was that Manon had found a new pet in him, as if that terrifying snake of hers – Abraxos – wasn’t enough.

“Right! Ok, so first things first, the FAV won’t have enough speed to zoom up to The Lani, you heard?” Sartaq, ever peaceful Sartaq, looked ready to strangle the boy. “Shit needs to be, like, a lot lighter. Five tonnes, to be exact.”

“You can do that?”

“‘T’s really not that complicado, I swear.” The astrodynamicist turned to the model of the FAV and began pulling things out, carelessly tossing them to the side. “We can get rid of five chairs, cause it’s just… Manon, what’s that chick’s name again?” He really didn’t mean any offence by it, he had a bad memory for names. It took him six months to remember Vaughan’s name and stop referring to him as ‘boss man’.

Manon just sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of her nose, “Aelin, Luca. Her name is Aelin.”

“Ooh, that do be kinda sick though,” was Luca’s response. “I can dig that.” He returned to the task at hand, “Then, the FAV is designed for five-hundred grams of Farnorian soil and rock samples, obviously, we won’t have that so we’re already speeding.”

Manon gave Gavriel a long-suffering look as Luca continued, “Then, we ditch life support, Aelin can just be in her heavy-duty suit-“

“EVA, Luca, we told you it’s EVA.”

“Whatever, she can be in it and we don’t need life support.”

Gavriel frowned, “How’s she going to fly the rocket if she’s in her EVA?”

“She won’t, Marama will remotely control it,” Manon told him bluntly.

“We’ve never had a remotely controlled manned ship before.” Luca’s face fell slightly and Gavriel hastily added, “but I’m excited for the opportunities… it presents.”

The boy’s face lit up again and he smiled, “Word, I feel you. This means we can get rid of the control panels and all that other stuff like telemetry, comms-“

“What. Remotely controlled with- with no backups?”

Manon nodded, “Yeah, we haven’t even got to the bad stuff.” Gavriel’s face paled and she turned to Luca, urging him on, “Go on, tell him.”

“We kinda… have to remove the nose airlock and the windows and the hull.”

The mission director choked, slamming his knee into the underside of his desk, “You want to send her into space without the front of her ship?” He addressed his words to Sartaq.

“The nose alone is four hundred grams.”

Gavriel stood up, spreading his arms, “You’re sending her into space without the front of her ship! A hole!”

“Mmm, not a hole, she can cover it with hab tarp.” Gavriel just hung his head in his hands as Sartaq continued, shooing Luca to the side, “The hull is really there to keep the air out, but Farnor’s atmosphere is so thin, she really won’t need that much streamlining.”

“You’re sending her into space under a tarp, Sartaq.”

“Yes.”

“There aren't any other options, are there?”

“Nope.”

“Who wants to tell her?”

Manon shook her head, “That’s all you, Gav.”

Gavriel scowled, accusing her, “I thought you were Flight and Crew Director, Ms. Blackbeak.”

She just shrugged, “Best get to it. Aelin’s not a patient woman.”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Aelin was staring out the front window of the rover with a blank look as she ate her daily portion of rations. “I know what they’re doing. I know what they’re doing. They keep telling me that I’ll ‘travel faster than any person in the history of space’, like it’s a good thing, like it’ll distract me from the fucking LUNACY OF THEIR IDEA!”

She thought hard, “They’re sending me into space in a gods-damned convertible. Actually, it’s worse, because my controls are in Fenrys Marama’s hands. Fucking idiot didn’t even have enough sense to knock up his girl after what was originally a nineteen-month mission.”

Scowling at the dash, Aelin added, “By the way, when describing things like speed and velocity, physicists don’t use the word ‘fast’, ok? They’re just saying it in the hopes that I’ll like how it sounds. ‘Fastest person in space travel’. Well, you know what?”

Aelin drank from her water bottle and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, “I do like it. I like it a lot, actually.”

With a heavy sigh, she shook her head and threw her hands up, “Alright, let’s do this.”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Aelin dropped the wrench on the floor of the hollowed-out FAV, an entertained gleam in her eyes. “Ok, that was really fun.” She looked up at the sky through the hole in the FAV, where the nose had once been, as if she would be able to spot The Lani, “I’m coming, guys. Wait for me, ok?”

Exhausted, Aelin carefully made her way down the hatch and hopped to the ground, walking slowly over to her caravan, ready for one last night.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

The crew had been tense all day, jittery for the rescue. It had finally arrived and they were all in the flight deck as Lorcan read off the plans once more, “Faliq, you’ll SysOp the ascent, Marama – piloting The Lani. Lochan and Whitethorn, I want you at the airlock before she’s even begun countdown, got it?”

“Got it – I want her in the med bay immediately after intercept, she’ll probably be unconscious and may have internal bleeding.” There were so many other things she would need to be checked out for and Rowan had it all set up, every scenario planned out – even surgery.

Lorcan continued, “When we reach intercept, it’s on Whitethorn to get her. If anything, anything goes wrong, Lochan, you’re going out after them.”

“Copy that, Commander.”

“Alright. We ready?”

The only response was, “Yes, sir.”

“Roger that, crew. Let’s go get our girl, huh?” Big smiles were on everyone’s face as Fenrys and Lorcan let loose military whoops.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Manon slipped into the locked Mission Control, sliding into her seat beside Asterin and kissing her cousin’s brow as they prayed quickly. She snapped on her headset and reached for Asterin’s hand, holding tightly as she calmed herself and began flight, “Lani, this is Flight. You are good to go.”

Nesryn’s voice crackled through the comms, “Copy that, Flight. Lani is commencing de-acceleration… Engine alignment is perfect, fuel pressure green.”

The room let out a pent-up breath and Nesryn continued with her assessment, “Communications five by five…”

Lorcan spoke to Aelin, “About two minutes away, G-Money. How you feeling?” Everyone laughed at the nickname; it was beyond soothing for the stranded astronaut.

Her voice was broken and tight, “It’s good to hear your voice, Commander. Ready to get up to you guys.” Words failed her and she swallowed before continuing, “Thank you for coming back for me; I miss you.”

The crew chuckled tearfully and Lorcan answered her, “We miss you too, Ace. Remember, you’re facing twelve G’s, it’s ok if you pass out, yeah? You’re in Marama’s hands now.”

“Tell that dipshit no barrel-rolls.”

Lorcan’s laughter barked across the radios, “Scout’s honour. CAPCOM…”

Nesryn’s voice was filled with laughter, “Go.”

“Remote control…”

“Go,” said Fenrys.

“Recovery…”

Elide and Rowan answered simultaneously, “Go.”

And finally, “Pilot…”

“Go already, you bastard.”

“Copy that, Galathynius. Flight, this is Lani actual, we are go for launch and will proceed on schedule.”

“Roger that, Lani. This is Flight, Mission control is a go, commencing in t-minus ten seconds,” Manon replied, utterly unashamed of the tears flowing down her cheeks. She reached over and turned on the timer controller, the countdown commencing.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Lorcan was overseeing the flight deck as they listened to the timer controller. “Marama?”

“Main engines start.”

“Copy. Faliq?”

“Clamps releasing… SysOps is a go.”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Aelin tensed in anticipation as the timer counted down and the crew began the plan. “See you in a few, Commander.”

The rocket blasted off and she was slammed back into her acceleration seat. The wind was knocked out of her, she couldn’t even gasp as the FAV launched with incredible force. The ship shook violently and she fought to remain conscious, her eyes fluttering shut.

The canvas ripped free of the hull and the comms picked up again, the crew’s words falling on deaf ears, Aelin was lost on them. “Velocity is seven-forty-one metres per second. Altitude one-three-five-oh…”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Lorcan shook his head, eyes flying over the screens, “That’s too low. Marama?”

“I know,” his voice tight as he struggled, “it’s fighting me—”

“Velocity eight-fifty, altitude one-eight-four three—”

Lorcan spoke into the radio, not daring to tear his eyes from the computer, “Galathynius? Galathynius do you copy?”

There was no answer and Nesryn said, “She’s still well below target.”

“How far?”

“Working on it… main shutdown in 3…2…1… Shutdown.”

Fenrys was fighting the controls, “Back to automatic guidance. Confirm shutdown.”

“Galathynius, do you read?”

Rowan’s voice came to life, “She just pulled twelve G’s on ascent, she’s probably passed out. Give her a few minutes, Flight Deck.”

“Copy that, Whitethorn.” Lorcan turned to Nesryn, “Faliq, what’s happening?”

The dark-haired woman took a moment to respond, “Intercept velocity will be eleven metres per second – Whitethorn?”

“I can make it work,” Rowan confirmed, determined.

“Roger, distance at intercept will be—” Nesryn went pale, feeling sick to her stomach. “We’ll be fifty-seven kilometres apart.”

Silence fell over the radios.

“Wait, wait, wait,” Rowan said, “did you say fifty-seven kilometres? Kilometres?”

“Gods save her…” Fenrys whispered, a horrified look twisting his face.

Lorcan’s voice brought everyone back, “Keep it together. Work the problem. We got any power in the FAV?”

“Negative, Commander. Ditched the boosters to make launch weight.”

“Then we go to her. Faliq, time to intercept?”

“Thirty-eight minutes, seventeen seconds.”

“What happens if we point all our thrusters in the same direction,” he asked. “Marama?”

Fenrys did calculations in his head, tilting his chin up as he took in the remaining fuel levels. “Depends on how much fuel we want to save for course adjustments on the flight home.”

“And you need how much?”

“Mmm, I can get by on twenty percent of what we have left.”

“Faliq?”

Nesryn was already working on it and answered Lorcan quickly, “Using seventy-five point five of what’s left, I can completely close the altitude gap—”

“Do it.”

“Hang on, the intercept velocity will be forty-two metres per second.”

It was too fast, Rowan wouldn’t be able to grab her. Lorcan would deal with that in thirty-nine minutes, then. “We’ll figure it out. Marama, burn the jets.”

The ship lurched as Fenrys followed commands and the jets burned, boosting them forward.

A small voice was heard over the radio and Lorcan caught the last part of it, “…fuck you, Farnor.”

“Galathynius?!”

“Affir… affirmative, Commander.”

“Status.”

“Ch… chest hurts. Breathing hurts,” it was her ribs. Aelin had been flung around the FAV during her ascent. “How, how are you?”

Of course, Aelin was still worried about them. “We’re good, Pilot. Working to get to you. There was a complication during launch.”

Her voice was so weak, it broke Lorcan’s heart. “Yeah, the… canvas didn’t… didn’t hold.”

“That checks out, Galathynius.”

“…bad is it?” The radios were weaving in and out.

“Intercept range is perfect. We’re working on intercept velocity, there’s a problem.”

“How big?”

“Forty-two metres big.” Aelin didn’t respond and Nesryn checked the comms, indicating they were still good to go. “Aelin?”

“You know,” she began, as if they were having a casual conversation, “I watched all the Marvel movies you brought. My favourite’s Iron Man, are you surprised? I could find something sharp in here and pierced my EVA’s glove, as a thruster. The source is on my arm, so I can direct.”

Lorcan blinked a few times, not sure he’d heard her correctly, “Um, I don’t see you having any control over that – you’d be eyeballing and using a barely-controlled thrust vector.”

“All good points but consider this: I would get to fly around like Iron Man.”

Fenrys just shook his and laughed quietly, “We should’ve left her on Farnor.”

“Um, you did leave me on Farnor and Iron Man, Commander. Iron Man.”

“Ace, just shut up for a second, Hellas.” Lorcan looked at the far wall, “Maybe it’s not the worst idea.”

Fenrys shot him a look, incredulous, “You know, it actually is. The worst idea possible.” The rest of the crew chorused their agreement – it was ludicrous.

“No, not her idea, but using atmosphere as thrust.” Lorcan’s eyes widened, “Elide, El, El, El.”

“Yes?”

“No, not actually you, Nes, pull up El’s station.”

“It’s up – what do you need?”

Lorcan crossed his arms and leaned against the control desk, “I need to know what would happen if we blew the VAL.”

“…the vehicular airlock?”

He shrugged, “Yeah, it’d give us a good kick.”

“And blow off the nose of our ship. And all the air would leave. We need air, Lorcan,” Elide reminded him, “to not die.” He’s a mechanical engineer, for gods’ sakes. Shouldn’t he know this? Elide thought.

“Seal the bridge and reactor room. Everything else becomes a vacuum.”

“It would get intercept velocity down to thirteen metres per second,” Nesryn said, seeing the logic of his idea.

“How do we open the airlock doors, though? We can’t control them remotely and if anyone’s near them when it blows…”

“Lochan?”

“Yes?”

“Take off your spacesuit.”

“…why.”

“I need you to build a bomb.”

Aelin’s voice cut in before Elide could reply, “Wait, bomb? You’re exploding things…without me?”

They ignored her as Elide asked, “Come again, L?”

“You’re a chemist and a fucking weirdo – no offence, babe – can you make a bomb with what we have onboard?”

“None taken,” she quipped, “I’m obligated to tell you that setting off an explosive device on a spacecraft is a terrible, terrible idea.”

“Copy. Can you do it?”

Elide thought for a few seconds, “Yeah, I can do it.”

“Good, get going. Faliq, meet Lochan in the rec room and transport the bomb to Whitethorn – I want you to meet Faliq at airlock and attach the bomb to the inner door of airlock one Then, make your way back to airlock two along the hull, copy?”

“Copy.”

“Perranth, be advised: we are going to deliberately breach the VAL to produce thrust.”

Before Mission Control could answer, Aelin piped up, “Commander, I can’t let you do this. You see, I’m selfish – all the memorials back home should be about me. I don’t need any of you losers ruining my rep.” She panted, “Call it off.”

“Oh. Okay. Well, if you want us to call it off, then I guess we have to- oh wait... wait a minute. Yep. I’m looking at my shoulder patch and it turns out I’m Commander. So shut up.”

“Fu...fucking smart ass.”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Nesryn entered the rec room, spying Elide where she was pouring a bag of sugar into a beaker. “Bomb?”

“Yup.” Elide couldn’t speak much, she was pretty busy at the moment. She still managed to tell Nesryn about her project, “In a pure oxygen environment, it’ll release sixteen point seven million Joules for every kilo of sugar used. Eight times stronger than a stick of dynamite.”

“Neith above, you terrify me.”

Elide grinned evilly, looking like a mad scientist as she poured pure oxygen into the beaker and screwed the cap on, doing something with stripped copper wires. “She’s ready.” Elide carefully passed the bomb over to Nesryn, “Run this to the lighting panel, ok?”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

The bomb was set and everything was in place. They braced for the thrust as an explosion rocked the ship, sending them backwards.

As the ship stabilized, Fenrys, Nesryn, Elide, and Lorcan, scrambled back to their spots and Fenrys swore, “It’s still too far, three-hundred metres?”

“Oh, great,” Aelin commented, “I’ll just wave at you as I fly by.”

“Bridge seal is holding, Commander, first inspections reads minimal damage.”

“Copy that, Whitethorn, where are you?”

“I’m in airlock two, Commander, in the MMU and going for intercept on your command.” Rowan would have to go after her in the Manned Maneuvering Unit - MMU for short.

“Roger that, go recovery.” They were still too far, “Faliq, what’s our-“

“Lorcan. I’m doing it,” Aelin said, her voice hard. Before anyone knew what was happening, there came a hissing sound and Aelin soared through the FAV’s nose, one arm stretched towards them and the other behind her like Iron Man. She struggled to keep upright and kicked her legs.

“Shit, Faliq, current velocity?” They were all of the edges of their seats.

“Calculating… twelve metres per second… seven metres per second… five point two… three point one,” her heart was in her throat as she watched the rescue.

“Distance to target?”

“Ten metres.”

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Rowan’s heart cracked as the distance was told, he could reach her, he could get to her. The tether was long enough.

She looked to him, those brilliant eyes of hers grounding him. Rowan angled the controls to her, jerking back in the MMU when the tether pulled taut. What, no no no. It was caught, it had to be caught, he was sure of it. “Fuck, fuck,” Elide was on her way to the airlock but she wouldn’t be able to help. She was still too far. “The tether, it’s caught on something - it’s caught.”

He saw it in Aelin’s eyes as she heard him and she smiled at him. He hated the smile, soft and accepting. It was her goodbye.

“It’s ok, Ro,” she said, acceptance in her words, “let me go.”

“No. No,” he shouted the word over and over, not believing it. “Aelin, no, you can’t do this-“

“It’s ok, Rowan. Let me go.”

“I’m not letting you go – we didn’t get any time-“ his breath hitched as tears grew in his chest, “I love you, you can’t let go.”

There was nothing anyone could do. Aelin had made up her mind.

Note

dude your recent demon & angel kiribaku art reminds me a little bit of aziraphale and crowley from good omens!! like aziraphale would be angrier as baku obvs but still i thought of it and it made me happy lol

A lot of people have mentioned that in the tags/under the post and that makes me!!! super happy!!!! Good Omens is one of my fav books and Crowley one of my fav characters, so the comment feels nice! I wasn’t specifically thinking about them when drawing it, but possibly a bit I was influenced anyway!! I wonder if what made everyone think about them was Kiri’s sunglasses? It’s not noticeable but I did give him glowing eyes too after all haha

Anon said:Have you ever thought about how op a TodoBakuDeku fusion would be? (if they could stay together that is lol!)

Never thought of it tbh, but at this point I’m pretty sure with a lot of work on Baku’s part they’d be able to stick together long enough! He wouldn’t find it comfortable but they’d def be one of the strongest three-people-fusions in the class - not the strongest, tho, since they all have the same sort of straightforward offensive power when it comes to their quirks, I think I could find three people who’d make a stronger fusion... Baku Kiri and Momo, for example, would be even more impressive imho! Since all their quirks cover a different field, and their minds/personalities mesh well enough to have the right amount of planning and instinctive reaction/self-preservation and safety of others/pride and self-doubt/lawfulness and chaotic acting and so on. Even just as a team, without counting them as a fusion, I think they’d make one of the most balanced ones! Compared to that putting Todo Deku and Baku in the same place is just a recipe for disaster more often than not haha

Anon said:no, i move slow, I wanna stop time, I'll sit here til I find the,, inspiration to draw,,,,,,

LMAO it’s a song about art block after all, I feel every word in it a whole damn lot hahaha

Anon said:Art block or no art block, I love everything you come up with 💜

AW HECK ANON you’re so sweet!!! Thank you so much!!!!! ;O;

Anon said:Mixing thei hero names? So uuuh King Riot?

We still don’t know Baku’s hero name, so anything might be, really! It’s why I didn’t outright have Kiri mention any idea, I got no clue myself where he was going with it haha it’d be cool if his hero name were Ground Zero, because it’d mix well with Red Riot imho (Red Zero or Ground Riot or Red Ground, they all sound nice!) but what if Baku’s hero name ends up just being Katsuki, after all? How do you mix that with Red Riot? (the answer is Red Victory, or Akatsu!! from akai (red) + katsu !! ngl I’ve thought about this a lot lmao) anyway so many possibilities so little known facts!

Anon said:I love the details on Kiri and Baku's skin. Great job!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Anon said:!!!!!!!!!! fran oh my god your zine piece is so beautiful!!!!!!!

Sob thank youuu!!!! I’m glad you liked it!!!! ;O;

Anon said:i just got my zine and the art and writing was so lovely, i loved your comic at the end. an amazing way to end the zine♡

THANK YOU!!!! I’m jelly, I still haven’t gotten mine ;O; I hope the comic was easy to read even in printed form, I’ve been worried about that for months hahaha rip at least there’s the pdf

Anon said: i’m in love with your kiri bday art!!!! with the colorless art like that, are we allowed to color it? of course no posting it, but just for fun.

If you promise not to post it, I’m cool with it! Thank you for liking it enough to want to do that!!! Seriously tho don’t post it if you do

Anon said:Can you draw more kamisero? g u d q u a l i t y s h i p ma' dude.

Maybe? Currently it really isn’t between my top priorities but who knows

Anon said:FRANNNNN!!!! Your comic for the Take My Hand zine!!!! I'm gonna cry! It's so beautiful and the boys are so perfect! Your art is so amazing, I was so thrilled to see your piece. Not to mention the detail you put in. Their hands killed me! With Bakugou's palms and Kiri's arms! Ugh, I just can't, I love it so much.

I’M SO GLAD YOU LIKED THE HANDS it’s weird bc that one panel is probably my fav in the comic and I was so sure no one was gonna really notice it but!! So many people did!!!!! It makes me so happy oh man ;O;

Anon said:Hey coulda maybe make a traitor Kaminari comic?

Nope! No traitor arts here, sorry! SInce I don’t believe any of the theories to the point of finding them outright laughable, any art I could ever make about it would just come out looking either fake or ridiculous and no one wants to see that lmao

Anon said:your take my hand comic!!! it's so good!! thank you for doing the boys so well ;;;

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!!

Anon said:I don't know if you remember, but a couple months ago I asked if it'd be okay for me to write something based on a few of your art pieces. Would that still be alright? Your art is gorgeous and makes my brain think and brings joy to me all the time ^^ would absolutely link to the art and credit you. that's not even a question :)

That still depends on which art you’re specifically talking about! And thank you so much for the compliment!!

Anon said:I don’t know if you read fan fiction, but I have one to suggest to you! It’s called, “It’s Obvious When You Lie”. Only three chapters are out so far, but it’s really good!

I’ll add it to my marked for later list then!! Thank you so much for the rec, I don’t easily try out ongoing fics so this was very nice of u!!!

Anon said:In the body switch AU Todoroki sees how fucked up Midoriya feels around Bakugou('s body?) and realizes wow fuck this guy has traumatized my bf. I wonder what I can do to fuck w/ him so the day before they switch back (So Bakugou can't do much in retaliation) he takes Bakugou's body and does the stupidest bullshit ever as revenge

HECK anon sorry but nothing like this would happen ever as long as I’m the one writing the AU! For three main reasons! One, I don’t think Deku is traumatized at all! His relationship with Baku at the moment is actually pretty damn neat and on equal footing, you go you two, growing so much!! Two, Baku and Todo are friends!!! And Todo would never be a dick to Baku instead of just talking to him, if he had a problem with him!! Three, even if one and two weren’t true, Deku has no need for knights in shining armor fighting his battles for him!! He’s a strong independent boy and if he hasn’t fought Baku over this it’s probs cause he doesn’t want anyone to fight him over it!!! Also in this specific AU Todo and Deku aren’t dating, so the scenario doesn’t work for me! Sorry!

Anon said:Have you ever thought about krbk wedding?

I have! And I’ve talked about it on here a few times too! Lately I’ve been thinking about it again tho, from a designs point of view, because!! There’s that very neat post going around tumblr about that wedding photos in which one of the two grooms has a white tux with a cape, and I’ve been thinking about a variation of it for Kirishima’s wedding suit :0 something red instead of white, but generally similar! It’s a lot of effort to draw it so I still haven’t, but yeh!!

Anon said:Hello! I read this fic about your cat comics and the author said to send you some love in their end notes so here is some well-deserved love: your art is beautiful! It's why I became interested in BakuShima and I would not have loved these characters as much if it weren't for you. You also seem to be a very nice person, your mind is beautiful and I am glad you exist

G O DS this is such a nice ask!!!! thank you so so much!!!! ;O;

Anon said:Non chiedo una risposta a questo messaggio, anzi. Volevo solo dirti che trovo la tua arte FANTASTICA, e non sai quanto i tuoi comic e tutto il tuo lavoro mi ha strappato più di un sorriso in brutti momenti. Sapere che sei italiana mi ha fatto totalmente impazzire. Continua così, hai del talento vero. E grazie!

NUHHHH GRAZIE A TE PER ESSERE COSI’ GENTILE OMFG !!!!!!!!!! ;A;

Anon said:Okay okay okay! I adore your art! Could you maybe... draw some KiriBaku fantasy? If it’s not too much to ask! It can be as simple as can be! Your art is just really cute!

Yes I can and yes I will!!! Definitely and in the near future, did you know one of the app games JUST revealed a fantasy wolf Baku as a special halloween chara?? It’s just fantasy Baku with wolf ears and tail, but he’s adorable and I’ve been wanting to draw him since I saw him this morning ;O; so cute!

Anon said:Pssst. Singer Baku, Guitarist Kami, and Drummer Kiri. A good hc if I do say so myself.

It IS a great thought!! Drummer Kiri and Singer Baku have always been a weakness of mine too, so heck!! What a good image! If we put Jirou on bass and vocals too and sero on keyboard and mina on guitar, you make my fav band right then and there hahaha

Anon said:I'm not in the BNHA fandom at the moment but your art still continues to give me the warm fuzzies

GODS ISN’T THIS A NICE ASK!! I’m happy I can make you enjoy even characters you’re not specifically into! Thank you so much for sticking around!!!! ;O;

Anon said:i just got into bnha and fell in love with your art, started going through your sketch tag, and then realize that youre the person who made a bunch of haikyuu comics i loved a while ago so im! very glad to rediscover your stuff!!

HOLY GODS THAT’S NEAT!!! Welcome back!!!! ;O;

Anon said:I love it when you draw kiri with his hair down 💕💕💕 so good, so pure 💕💕💕💕

Oh boy thank you!! ;O; he’s so much easier to draw with his hair spiked for me, knowing people like the way I draw his hair when down means a whole damn lot!!

Anon said:Hello! First I love your account and artwork! Second will you ever be drawing Mako and Taiyou again? They are so adorable! Also Bakugou and Kirishima seems like amazing dad's!

Thank you!!! And yes I will! I have another ask around here asking about them, so maybe soon! Just gotta find the right idea to draw, I got a bunch but they’re all way too long for my curret attenton span level sadly hahaha rip

Anon said:lmaaaaooo my boi kaminari be having an emotional awakening

Kaminari is like, he’s always somewhere subconsciously known that Baku’s objectively pretty, but since he knows him so well and he’s always around him and most of the times they’re bickering and making fun of each other he’s never actually realized, so now he’s like oh, NOW I see it hahaha

Anon said:hi u probably get this enough but I wanted to give u all my appreciation for ur art thank u for sharing it with us I love everything u post ♡♡♡

THANK YOU!!!! It might be greedy of me but this sorta asks are never enough for me, so seriously thank you for taking your time to drop by and be so nice!!!

Anon said:Could you please draw more of the body swap au? Or what if a different pair of students were to switch?

I’m not gonna draw any other switch with other students, because before settling on Baku and Todo I went through a lot of possibilities and came to the conclusion that nothing would be as funny as Baku and Todo switched are (or at least nothing Horikoshi hasn’t already done himself lmao) so there’s that. I might draw more of them switched, but to be honest with you the only idea with that concept I have right now is Bakugou forgetting he’s suddenly taller and continuously walking into things around the dorms, so there’s that as well hahaha

#fran answers #a lot of !!!! in this one #today i'm feeling !!!#it's a nice feeling #hahaha #anonymous

Audio

A gallant knight with an incredible talent for art and evil cackling! It is of course, Kaenith! (Kaenith couldn’t record their transcript so I’ve included one of my fav Shadow lines so far) Name: Kaenith Character(s) you voice: Shadow Link Are you in any way like those characters? We both wear a lot of black, and like dragons? :D One of these days I definitely want to dye my hair purple, too. Favourite/least favourite thing about voicing your character? Favorite: Shadow’s so dramatic, voicing him is a lot of fun xD Plenty of opportunities to cackle like mad, or snarl in anger, or act cajoling and sneaky. Least favorite: Sometimes if I try to do his voice for too long, it starts making my throat sore. It’s not too bad, though - I just need to remember to take breaks and drink plenty of water ^^;;

Which characters did you audition for? Primarily Shadow, since I felt my voice was best suited to him. But I also read some lines for Green and Blue, in case the director felt I’d be better in a different role. How did you react when you got the part(s)? I was thrilled! Shadow’s one of my favorite characters, and the role I wanted most. Plus, I was just excited to see this project happening at all! It’s great to see activity like this in the fandom ^_^ Who do you wish you could voice? Honestly I’m happy with Shadow! Though I’ll admit a bit of envy over all the awesome creepy monster voices Alex can do – I wish my voice could do that too! Had you read the manga before taking part in the dub? Yep! Four Swords is one of my long-standing favorite fandoms. Any past voice acting experience? Not anything on this scale. I’ve recorded a few voiceovers for a couple different school projects before, but nothing like this. Who is your favourite FS character (if any)? I can’t choose between Shadow and Vio, they’re both my faves! (I love all the Links, really… but especially those two. How do you warm up/get in character before recording? I try to sing! (“try” being the key word here, haha) Shadow’s voice is fairly different from my normal speaking voice, so sometimes I have to use it for a while before it sounds right. Singing’s a good way to get a bunch of words out!I also sometimes re-listen to my own parts of previous episodes, to try and stay consistent and not have my Shadow-voice shift over time. Along those lines: Asked by Grimm Fate FS Dub I actually would love to ask a question for Kaenith: How exactly she gets into the mindset when it comes time to voice Shadow Link. I'm curious about the process. I generally have the manga open in front of me as I record. I look at Shadow’s expressions in the panels I’m voicing and try to imagine what he’s feeling and thinking, and why, and based on that, how he would say the lines. Sometimes I even try to mimic his body posture and expressions.

Favourite chapter to voice so far? Favourite scene? Ooh, good question… I enjoyed voicing the confrontation with Link’s father. I think that Link having a family and people who love him is one of the things Shadow is especially bitter and envious of, so I tried really hard to put as much venom as I could into “what a good father you are.” It’s also been a lot of fun collaborating with the other voice actors for bloopers and other projects – like the Monty Python parody that Riley wrote, or the time Swiss (and Riley!) responded to and built on one of the bloopers I’d recorded. Some of my favorite chapters and scenes in the manga are yet to come – I’m looking forward to Volume Two!Also: Asked by Anon What was the funniest/most humorous line you guys have had to say? Hm… not quite a line and more of a… vocal reaction? but I sure had fun voicing the part where Zelda slaps Shadow in the face xD I even acted it out a bit, jerking my head to the side as though I’d actually been struck. I really wanted to make sure it sounded like she hit hard; because, frankly, much as I love him, Shadow deserved it at that point in the story. (Karen: I was convinced Kae had slapped herself when I first heard this XD) Lines you dread voicing the most (screaming, crying, etc): Any time I have to laugh and speak in the same line xD Getting Shadow’s laugh right can be tricky, so trying to switch from speaking to laughing or back very quickly is a challenge. What are your biggest worries when it comes to voicing your character? At first I was really nervous that people wouldn’t think my voice was a good fit for Shadow. As I mentioned earlier, I hadn’t done much voice acting before so I wasn’t very confident in it. But a lot of people have been really kind and supportive, which helps a lot! (Karen: I can’t imagine Shadow sounding any other way now!)

Would you date your character (if they were of age)? Nah. Shadow’s great – definitely one of my favorite characters, and if he were real it might be cool to be friends with him (post-redemption) – but I don’t like him that way.*cough*besidesI’mprettysurehe’staken*cough* I mean what? I didn’t say anything. Do you have a favourite voice actor on the dub? I don’t think I could choose ^^;; Many of the other voice actors are my friends, and they all do a great job!

July 27th, 2017 CTP Archive

The archive for the Comic Tea Party chat that occurred on July 27th, 2017, from 5PM - 7PM PDT. The chat focused on Aether Eternius by Novasiri.

Featured Comment:

Chat:

RebelVampire

Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. Today we are discussing Aether Eternius by Novasiri~! (https://tapas.io/series/Aether-Eternius) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~! With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yay!

Novasiri

Oh boy, this outta be fun. <3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

let's see...

I like that part when Mak throwed a temper tantrum and turned red

Novasiri

Dawww, when they got pissed at Aion?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yes

I wonder how many colors can they be?

Novasiri

I had a lot fo fun planning, and eventually drawing that scene too. Originally Mak didn't change color, that was a more last minuet decision.

They change color based off feeling extreme emotions. So, all the colors of the rainbow. -uo(edited)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

gah i have to look up names >.>

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ooooh would love to see that

her hairstyle changed a bit too

really cool aesthetics there

RebelVampire

i hope mak never has a crush on someone and becomes green with jealousy. thatd be very embarrassing

Novasiri

I'm glad ;u;

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

that would be so obvious

Novasiri

Oh my gosh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Novasiri

There's always Evny. -uo

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

mine is any scene with isilmo in it... all the extra dialog and little thought bits were very amusing

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I hope all the colors will be shown eventually

Novasiri

they will.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Isilmo is so cute

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

especially the "no licking" lol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

RebelVampire

i liked the scene with madda-rakt cause i felt it was a mix of being both intimidated and underwhelmed cause madda-rakt was so polite

Kabocha

I pretty much love any scene with Aster. Gimme giant awkward starry person -- they're pretty nifty, I think.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL that

wishjacked

Haha that temper part with Mak was my fave, too!! It had all the best things-- fun colors, snarky Ira, jerks getting mauled

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

poor them

Kabocha

Also Ira is pretty fun too.

Novasiri

I'm glad I got an underwhelmed vibe with Madda-Rakt. It was the ideal point. Since their focus isn't supposed to be intimidating.(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis Ira

also Nova, I'm glad you made the texts larger in the recent pages. One of the reasons why I took so long to read was trying to consume all the texts. XD

Novasiri

Yeah, it's a big reason I also plan to redo the first two chapters; increase text size.

wishjacked

BUT ALSO, OH, I love all the scenes with Umbrage!! They're kinda dadlike with their dialogue but also. So strong. Love it

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yeah i had to zoom in on every panel in the beginning

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

totally glad I took the time to re-read it yesterday

Kabocha

I didn't find it too much of a problem, but I also read stuff on a huge-ish monitor?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legit took me 2 hours

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

its easier for me to read on my phone... since i normally binge read before beds

Novasiri

I'm glad you like umbrage, Chloe. They're very much the big, intimidating, dad character

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Umbrage is so adorable

Kabocha

(also, Isilmo? The dragon? more please)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus!

Novasiri

there will be more isilmo soon. XD (And he's getting his own side comic)(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I never expected them to be so nice since you know, the initial description is that they maul people

RebelVampire

i agree with the others that the pages were a little smallish for text. not unreadable by any lengths. but it did take a while to get through.

Novasiri

They did maul people tho. :3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah but only bad people

Novasiri

Yeah, it's definitley on the list of 'needs rework'

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

but let me say what i've said a million times before... nova you have the BEST character designs!

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

they were so nice to Mak

Novasiri

sdjfhjkl

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yus

totally adore those character designs

and the sparkels

Novasiri

Thank you so much

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

even inspired me to do better with mine

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so far my fav is Umbrage, Ira, and Mak

would totally love to be buddies with Umbrage

wishjacked

SAAAAME the character designs are all SO UNIQUE AND APPEALING,,,,, hashtag goals

Novasiri

Umbrage would be good buddies, just not Aion.(edited)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

would give umbrage all the hugs ^^

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

Aion is jerk

RebelVampire

i like how the elemental types are all really unique in design but also share thematic similarities

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

Novasiri

Ah, you noticed that? I'm glad.

Kabocha

STAAAAAAAARS

wishjacked

I was a lil surprised by how good and kind Umbrage was, too, but I actually really liked it?? Like, PLOT TWIST, this fella mauls people BUT they're also totally a good guy! surprise!

Loved that

Novasiri

Each element has it's own aesthetic, but there are things that fit them together as a species.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ALL THE STARZ

Novasiri

Voids and their staaarrsss. XD

Kabocha

Sorry, I rather like stars, so y'know

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus

Novasiri

ilikestarsalottoo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yisss

stars and sparkels

Novasiri

Umbrage was a big twist of a character. I wanted to keep their personality in the dark, so when we finally met them, it was a shock.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

well you did a good job there

Novasiri

Just like how we thought Aion would have been the good guy, but turned out to be a total sleezeball

wishjacked

I think it really worked!!

Novasiri

It's also a parody of the whole Light = good, Darkness = Bad

RebelVampire

im not sure i assumed aion was a good guy because arrogance is not exactly a positive trait

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

not really I really thought Aion is a jerk from the start

Kabocha

@RebelVampire I agree. XD But then again, you could be a jerk with a heart of gold

I'm glad that wasn't the trope in play

Novasiri

Interesting, cause a lot of people liked Aion at first XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Umbridge is I thought really some kind of monster who mauls random creatures

Novasiri

Nah, Aion ripped the gold out of themself(edited)

Kabocha

lmao umbridge

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I see

I read that XD

Novasiri

Umbrage is an interesting one though, but I'm glad you guys like them over Aion.

Means you'll hate me less in the coming chapter

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

RebelVampire

in the coming chapter where theres a happy ending for everyone and they all use mak's color changing ability to have a rave party?

Novasiri

Pfffffhh XD

Ah, a happy ending would be nice.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Mak turns into a disco ball

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol rebel

Novasiri

We'll get to see Mak strobe eventually, in Act 3. It's a while off, and its more trauma induced

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

don't kill umbrage

Novasiri

Kabocha

... o_o

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i also love how easily it is to get immersed in the world

the backgrounds and scenery really pulls you in

Kabocha

Strobing? like... is this going to be animated

Novasiri

I'm going to attempt it. Yes

Kabocha

>:D

EXCELLENT.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

something like this

Novasiri

More like glitching trainbow

Kabocha

I'm imagining a single page of Mak on a black or transparent background. just.... all the colors

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

would be awesome

Novasiri

But it'll be cool, horrifying, but cool.

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

I forgot this started around this time

Novasiri

But expect animated bits, at least gif wise in act 3(edited)

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

I love the comic, still reading it so I don't know much and am slow at reading it

wishjacked

I can't believe nova is threatening her characters right here in the chat and nobody is screaming yet

Novasiri

Awww, take your time~

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

So far the characters are very expressive

Novasiri

Chloe... you have no idea the horrors that await

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

screms

Kabocha

eh, everyone threatens their characters

and if Draco's around, spoilers get dropped

Novasiri

Kabocha

It is the way of comic tea party. :3

Novasiri

I'm keeping it as vague as possible~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

its in the by-laws xD

Novasiri

But i may drop a few hints if anyone has specific questions

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

draco = spoiler

the elf

Novasiri

Phineas?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's shuspishus

wishjacked

LALALALALALA NOPE THEYRE ALL GOOD THEYRE HAPPY THEY LIVE IN A BIG HAPPY HOUSE TOGETHER NOVA

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

Novasiri

Good

-pats chloe-

Cause he's gonna get a rather large reveal here very soon

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that part when Madda Rakt talked to him. There's something going on.

Novasiri

So you may hate him more, or feel really bad for the guy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LEGASP

wishjacked

ohhhh

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i am just very suspicious of him

Kabocha

Phineas is responsible for the entire plot

Novasiri

Mmmmmm rrrrrr.... You're on the right-ish track.

Kabocha

OH NO

Novasiri

But he's not personally responsible

Kabocha

I was just guessing o_o

Novasiri

But something involving him is.

Kabocha

oh dear

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

Kabocha is best guesser

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OGM

Kabocha

Apparently lmao

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Kabo is scary

Novasiri

But it also has to do with a character showing up soon.

Kabocha

So he's prolly partly at fault for the trauma Mak's gonna go through ain't he

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp x2

Novasiri

The hint is already in the comic, more so on ch4's cover page. As for Mak, no, the trauma comes a bit later and for a different reason.

Kabocha

(now for the out there part) ...Mak is secretly Phineas' future son.

Novasiri

And it has to do with Gavin, who was mentioned by Aion.

Nope. XD

Kabocha

I had to throw a really bad one in there.

Novasiri

Lol it's okay

Tbh that'd be so much nicer/happier than what Mak's background actually is.

Kabocha

I look forward to learning more about Gavin a bit more though.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

cheks the cover

Novasiri

We'll get a lot of it soon.

Kabocha

It's kind of interesting seeing how much of a hot-button that is for Mak. It's like, dude.

Mak, it can't be thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat bad can it? (clearly it is)

Novasiri

For them it is, of course. XD

Mak's insecure enough as it is, after all. :3

RebelVampire

QUESTION 2. At the beginning of Chapter 2, the Matter Lord, Madda-Rakt, pulls aside Phineas. In their private conversation, they refer to Phineas as a “magister” and accuse Phineas of potentially tricking Makumbo. While Phineas assures Madda-Rakt he isn’t “working for them” anymore, Madda-Rakt’s suspicions are not allayed. Who or what do you think magisters are? Why would this cause Madda-Rakt to assume Phineas was trying to hurt Makumbo?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

awww poor Mak

Novasiri

Speaking of which

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Yis Phineas is suspicious

squints

Kabocha

Don't trust elves, yo

Novasiri

Pffh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think their intention is to kill null primordials

Novasiri

it isn't, anymore.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

personally i think he was one of those undercover spy types who betrayed somekind of useful information at some point

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp\

O_O

wishjacked

wHat

Kabocha

Mak also doesn't want phinease touching him? WHAT DID YOU DO PHINEAS

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh yeah

Novasiri

Mak's got personal space issues, and doesn't enjoy being touched in general. But Phineas... Mharz is on the right track, but something happened to make that change

Kabocha

wow I can't type

@Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies -- welp.

Novasiri

And such a job wasn't personal choice either.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think Phineas is an assassin who's mission is to kill Mak

Novasiri

I could have been, but something happened~ :3

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

nah i actually think he's trying to right his past wrongs now...though im still suspicious

Novasiri

good deduction AE~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe he was tasked to kill all the nulls

Novasiri

Not nessicarily just nulls, but there is a reason for that.

And it has a lot to do with 'Them'.

Kabocha

dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp x3

Novasiri

RebelVampire

i feel like the best assumption is that the magisters were partly responsible for the shattering

Novasiri

Bingo~

Kabocha

So, is Casmir just not so fond of Aster because of Aster's silence?

or is there history

Novasiri

there's history between the two.

Which will be shown eventually

Kabocha

>:3c

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wonders what that book thing Madda Rakt gave to Phineas

Novasiri

-whispers- it's actually a tracking device.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gasp

huh interesting

Kabocha

nobody trusts phineas

Novasiri

And nobody should. :3

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wow

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's absoulutely suspicious

Novasiri

As I said, the coming pages will determine most peoples outlook on Phineas. you'll either hate him outright, or feel bad for him.

Cause there's blood on those hands.

RebelVampire

i trust phineas.....to put some pizza rolls in the microwave for me to eat.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh no blooooood

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

waits for a couple of months... screms

hopefully he didn't poison the pizza

Novasiri

Kabocha

the pointier the ears, the less you should trust 'em

Novasiri

Pffffh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Kabo, your Aster has pointy ears..

Kabocha

WELP.

Novasiri

But yes, I'd personally say trusting Phineas is typically not the best solution, at this moment in time.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL nope

wouldn't trust him to carry stuffs

Novasiri

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

or anything really

Novasiri

But his past will come back and bite him in the ass, eventually.(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

hopefully Kana keeps him in check or something

Novasiri

And it's still up in the air if he lives or not

-minor spoiler-

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

ooooo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gasp

totally looking forward to eet

RebelVampire

phineas has to live long enough for his past to be revealed

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gonna wait for the pages to pile up

Novasiri

Mhmm.

He will live long enough for that. XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yeah it will be the life flashing before his eyes type of thing XDDDD

Novasiri

Hahaha nooo, it'll be slow.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OMG

Novasiri

and grueling

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Nova so sadist

LOL

Novasiri

RebelVampire

i felt a bit sad that after dragging phineas and kana with, mak had to end up alone anyway

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

Novasiri

Mhmm, part of it was to show Mak's actual self away from the rest, the other part was also to give some material for the side comic(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'm also curious how Kana is related to Mak when she's human and Mak is primordial

Tho Ira did asked before how old is Mak when they "died"

Novasiri

Well you don't need to be blood related to be family~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

true

Novasiri

But kana met Mak after they had died.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'm curious how did Kana wound up in the shattered lands

Novasiri

She actually followed Makumbo there.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I was thinking the outsiide world is lilke earth

where there's no magical mumbo jumbo happening

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol read 'mumbo' as 'makumbo'

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

RebelVampire

hmmm

then who is this older brother that kana mentioned that gave mak timo?

Novasiri

the Earth Kana and Mak come from actually does have magic, infact it's canonically the Earth in my friends comic, #Wafflefry

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Novasiri

The older brother is actually a secret. -uo(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh interesting

Novasiri

Yeah, I'm a sucker for interconnecting worlds.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

me too

Novasiri

As for the older brother, their name is actually Theodore. They will not be freatures by name or image in the comic however.

This is due to the fact that Kanami is created by a friend of mine, who gave me full permission to use the character. Theodore is also owned by someone else, but they did not give me permission to have him in the comic. Simple as that.

So they're more mentioned in passing.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh wow

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that's really cool! wow

Novasiri

Many threads, yus~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

must be real nice to have webcomic friends that you can connect universes to

Novasiri

But a lot of the past between Kana and Mak will be explained in act 3 specifically

As with the reveal of why mak died

And what caused the Shattering to begin with

So.. lots of bomb shells

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ogm and we're still in act 1

wishjacked

Hey, made it back, sorry!!

Novasiri

Welcome back Chloe~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

how many chapters in an act?

Novasiri

at least 4-5 chapters

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I see

Novasiri

Act 1 is exactly 5 chapters

wishjacked

Oh, I'm SO INTERESTED in knowing how the primordials and afterlife work in this world....

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus!

Novasiri

We'll get a lot of that Chloe, in the next act

A lot of that

but if you have specific questions, you can ask about it

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i wonder what the null lands looked like

Novasiri

with the rework of ch1/2 we'll see breif glimpses of what it is now, AE.

wishjacked

the worldbuilding seems to be built a lot on death and I really want to know how it ties together hahaha.

Novasiri

Cause i'm adding a scene or two

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. The comic’s world is vastly characterized by the Shattering, which greatly damaged the Planes and resulted in Null being wiped out completely. Despite Makumbo being reborn as the new Null Lord, though, there is still much chaos present. Why do you think Makumbo, of all people, became a Null? Does the Shattering have anything to do with why seemingly new primordial types are coming into existence? What do you think happened to the All-Father who was partly responsible for the Shattering?

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yay

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe mak is a reincarnation of the All-Father ./shots

Novasiri

Ooohhh man...

Nah Mharz, that lazy ass is still around somewhere

Kabocha

...in pieces?

Novasiri

Noooo ouo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh I see

Novasiri

I am curious to hear the theories tho.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

really a lazy ass?

Novasiri

The All Father's identiy has been hinted at, you jsut gotta read between the lines a bit. -uo And put together some dots

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

for some reason i feel like null has some kind of bigger purpose in the grand scheme of things...something more than the other primordials....something that is contrary to what we think when we think of the word null

almost like a balance

Novasiri

Good guess~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

or constant

Kabocha

IT'S PHINEAS

wishjacked

well I hate to keep beating my death horse this but my theory is that the null lord creation has something to do with type a of death

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

damn

Kabocha

(no, I know it's not)

Novasiri

Chloe

on the nose

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Mak was a human initially before turning into a Null lord

Novasiri

A lot of primordials are, however. Including Dunkan. But he's a Void. -uo

but Chloe is on the right track, how, when, and why you die make a BIG difference

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that's very interesting

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wut 0.0 omh

omg*

Novasiri

I'm actually alowed to spoil this, as it's world building, not so much integral completly to the story.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wishes I can make stories as twited as that

Novasiri

Primordials are created from a certain type of soul.

A 'Lost' soul.

A soul that's unfit for their determined afterlife

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

your allowed to spoil what you want...its your story XDDDDD (couldn't resist)

wishjacked

EEEEEEEEEEEE??

Novasiri

How they died, who they were, how old they were all play factors into what element they become

Null has very, specific, parameters

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wow that's REALLY neat

wishjacked

OK THAT WAS PART OF MY GUESS TOO

Novasiri

Very.. grim... parameters

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

wishjacked

YIKES

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

flails!! more excited now

Novasiri

Because for a Null to be formed, it has to be a childs soul.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

null and void makes me think of programming. XD

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh no how sad

Novasiri

So we're talking someone has to be below the age of 10, even stillborn... and has to not just die, but their soul has to be lost to the unknown. Which is extremely rare as many 'gods' tend to shelter these types of souls.

So something usually goes 'wrong' when a Null forms

RebelVampire

hmm that does give context for why ira auto thought to ask mak how old they were when they died

Novasiri

Mhmm

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

isn't Mak 11 when they died?

Novasiri

Makumbo was no exception to the rule, however, HOW he died played a major part in why he's a Null.

And yes, he was.

But

wishjacked

My theory was that the reason null has so few souls is because the death is so rare and bizarre. But I couldn't think of why the previous null lord would be much more impressive than Mak (according to freaking Aion) if they were both children's souls

Novasiri

Again, the hows kick into play here.

wishjacked

AWWW BABY

MAK

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh interesting

Novasiri

I will spoil it here, but only here.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

is on the edge of her seat

Novasiri

Makumbo's parents were researchers, specifically on the element of Null.

wishjacked

someone give this Lord a cup of cocoa and a warm blanket stat

ohhhHhhooooooooooo

Novasiri

At the age of 6, he was disowned for not being adept in magic.

And then used as a living experiment

to artificially create a Null Primordial

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

WHOA

thats CRAZY

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wow

Novasiri

Now, Primordial energy + A living body is bad, really bad.

It literaly turnes into a cancer

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Nova spilling all the stuffs

Novasiri

And eats ytou from the inside out

wishjacked

I was about to say I was really glad to be in this server so I can get all the spoilers but I just changed my mind this is the worst I'm cry

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

ouch

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

we do have a spoiler chat

Novasiri

So Makumbo actually 'died' internally, but was kept alive through artifical means.

wishjacked

nova dude

Novasiri

Makumbo's actualy death was around the age of 8, but it took 3 more years for the energy build up to finally go nuclear.

Which it did.. and wiped out the complex, and his family..

And essentiallym freeing him. But he was concious the whole time.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OMG

wishjacked

my poor baby

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

that sounds majorly tramatic

Novasiri

It's gonna be fun to depict in the comic when the time comes. But yeah.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

and traumatizing

RebelVampire

well this got dark

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Rebel brings the popcorn

wishjacked

brb I'm going to hell the beat his parents into jelly

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

it got DEEP

Novasiri

that explosion of null magic is what alerts Kana to Makumbo's location, she tracks him down, and it's how they meet; she winds up smuggling him to america to protect him.

And hilariously only reason Kana was close enoug to see it, is because she was being a brat and testing demolition tools

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Novasiri

But yeah....

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol brats ftw

Novasiri

And to think, that's just Mak's death... It's no where near as bad as Gavin's.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

brb

Novasiri

which i will not be spoiling

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

no wonder Mak is so timid

RebelVampire

gavin melted in a pool of acid for 100 years

Novasiri

But enough about my blabing, back to the question at hand. XD

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

i think this atmosphere just inspires spoilers x3

Novasiri

there's some things I won't spoil, like the All-Father's identity. That you have to figure out yourselves

As for Astrov and Zenith, aka Possitive and Negative. It does have to do with the shattering in a way.

More of a by-product of the Planes trying to 'fix itself'.

Not saying the whys and hows, but it does have to do with one another.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i love their clothing

Novasiri

Thank you, their inspiration is very heavily on 'Life' and 'Death' thematics

RebelVampire

so if astrov and zenith are a byproduct of the planes trying to fix themselves, this makes me wonder if theyll be okay if void and null are restored to proper order. since if theyre sort of fixed their existence may no longer be needed.

Novasiri

-eyebrow waggles-

And we'll get to see what happens, eventually~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh noooo not one of those sad fading into the midst ending scenes cries

Novasiri

hahaha no, none of that

There will be fighting, and bickering, and probably some deaths

Kabocha

comes back to holy crap spoilers

Novasiri

Kabocha

MAK YOU PRECIOUS LIL THING

Novasiri

It's most character spoilers, not major plot spoilers, so I'm more okay with some things coming out

Gavin's stuff is major plot spoilers, so... I be hush hush

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

spoilers are spoilers...we take whatever we can get XD

RebelVampire

as for all-fathers identity....my first guess would be ira cause despite ira calling all-father lazy for jumping ship and leaving everyone to clean the mess up, ira seems to have mysterious goals, can change form, and somehow paralyzed aion. but i feel that may be too obvious of a guess and theres plenty of flaws to the idea. theres another guess i may make but i need to check something first

Novasiri

Hmmmm~

Kabocha

I look forward to learning more about Gavin. This would probably explain why Mak reaaaaaaaaally hates getting compared.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh interesting thought rebel

Kabocha

And hm. Ira as the all-father? I'll hop on that train.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i actually hadn't thought about who it might be

Kabocha

though Ira seems a little... irate about having to clean up after him.

Novasiri

Hmmm indeed~

I'm choosing to be silent here, cause I know.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

RebelVampire

but at the same time ira is sort of cleaning up after him by helping mak

so i could argue that the all-father is cleaning up his mess just in secret sort of an in a hands off way

and in disguise cause if i was a primordial i dont think id be too happy with all-father

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i actually like this thought

Novasiri

So hard to hold my tongue right now

It's very hard

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hahahaha

Novasiri

Please continue tho

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hands nova superglue >.>

Kabocha

Ira's just watching, though. I dunno, I suppose we'd have to see how it goes. ....Also how likely is Phineas to get severely injured by the guy tailing them?

Novasiri

Very likley

Kabocha

Madda has NO trust in the guy

Novasiri

Almost guarenteed

Kabocha

losing a limb?

Novasiri

une is very, very dangerous.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Ira seems to have a very suspicious power they used at Aion

Novasiri

Mhmm~

RebelVampire

QUESTION 4. Act 1 is focused on Makumbo helping Madda-Rakt pick a new Void Lord. However, the choices are pretty slim. Makumbo can either pick the pompous Aion or the bestial Umbrage. Who do you think will become the new Void Lord? Speaking of which, what does Ira have to do with everything that’s going on in regards to Void? Is Ira just that helpful or is Ira up to something?

wishjacked

I bet the mimic is the all-father. XD

Novasiri

LOL, nawww. Timo is just timo~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

would love it to be umbrage personally

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

umbrage!

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

umbrage is so adorbs

Kabocha

Umbrage seems more fitting to do the job at hand

Novasiri

XD A fun tid bit, originally I was planning to host a Patron poll to determine who would become the Void lord, however, this has now been set in stone, and chapter 5 will be the deciding method of who gets the job. But it's not about to be on a handshake.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oooo

Novasiri

one of them is going to die.

Kabocha

plz be aion

and plz be explodey

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

was thinking that at some point Aion and Umbrage would merge

LOL

Novasiri

It will also be the first introduction on death for Primordials.

Cause it's not good.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

that would be cool to see mharz

Novasiri

You'd be on the right track, Mharz. However neither will be going down without a fight.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

omg

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

0.0

Novasiri

The death is more along the lines of the personality dying, while the other reabsorbs the power.

Chapter 5 is literaly a giant Duel.

Kabocha

well then

they get the power but not the decency

or asshattery

Novasiri

Not going to say who wins, however.

Also breif BRB, pizza just got here.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yay pizza

don't let Phineas touch it

Novasiri

I may not be back by the time it concludes, but if I don't, I'll still hang out to answer questions if you'd like to ask them

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

waits for a year for all pages to be posted

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

dont let silver touch the pizza either XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

nah Silver will just eat the pizza

all of them

if she can eat

RebelVampire

regardless of who becomes void lord, the question is will they be able to take on the eldritch horror thats consuming void.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i dont think they can do it alone

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yee

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

mak is going to have a major role in that

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think the three of them are, including Madda-Rakt

RebelVampire

lol im not sure i could picture madda-rakt getting that involved. they seem more like a sit in the background eat popcorn and give moral support type of person XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

RebelVampire

granted im sure madda-rakt is powerful

just

if madda-rakt was so forward idk why madda-rakt didnt go reign in aion and umbrage

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

hey you two can do this, I'll just sit back right here

RebelVampire

decided "man ya know whats a great idea? asking the new null lord ive never met"

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

good point

they're pretty protective at Mak too

RebelVampire

granted im sure theres reasons besides that. XD

just madda-rakt seems more likely to leave stuff to the youngins

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

unless there is something about the situation that only a null can do

RebelVampire

yes thats a possibility too

or madda-rakt is partly testing mak

thinking that null isnt going to make a comeback if the new lord sucks

Kabocha

madda said something about not being able to interfere, I think?

RebelVampire

maybe. but i take ppl saying i cant interfere with a grain of salt XD cause i find its usually a coin clip between cant and just wont

and to be fair

the story did seem to indicate that in the hierarchy of power null beats void

so there seems to be a rock paper scissors thing going on i guess?

where elementals have advantages and disadvantages against certain types

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh that's pretty interesting

meanwhile nova is watching while eating the pizza

RebelVampire

assuming phineas didnt get to nova first

rip

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

dang it Phineas

but I think Null is the powerful out of all them

RebelVampire

that could be too

that nulls in general just badasses

with them strobes

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

one of the reasons why they're eliminated becos probably some find them very threatening

RebelVampire

could be although gavin seemed to be pretty respected in a way?

so since theres only 9 mins left does anyone have any closing thoughts?

Kabocha

MORE ISILMO

RebelVampire

crack theory: isilmo is the all-father

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

LOL that would be best plot twist

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Novasiri

-munching cinammon sticks- :U

Kabocha

that's it, story's over

get your fire dragons to fix the world

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I want Isilmo to grow big and strong

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

Novasiri

I read up, yes, there is a sort of power-triangle, or rock paper scissors ordeal. But.. there's also a big rule. Cause a Lord can't Kill another Lord. Madda-Rakt may be pwoerful.. but they can't go after ulhamig alone, cause they wouldn't be able to kill it even if theyw anted to.

Isilmo is gonna get big... He's jsut a baby right now. When he's fully grown, he'll be the size of a clydsdayle

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe Isilmo will save everyone

Novasiri

RebelVampire

so does that mean mak also wouldnt be able to beat ulhamig alone?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

also curious where Isilmo came from

Novasiri

Mhmm. Mak wouldn't be able to.

It's gonna be a combined effort.

isilmo came from an egg.. lol

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

they all are going to break the rule together?

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

Bookmarked the comic for later, but I really have to say I love the dynamic of the characters so far :3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

egg

duh

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wait wait

WAIT

Novasiri

Like... Isilmo is only 6 months old. Tops.

He's a babu

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

the wind lord seems to be a dragon too

Novasiri

Shit

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hahahahaha

Novasiri

Forget I said that

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

O_o

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

applauds

Novasiri

-deleted it- :I

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

O_O

Kabocha

bwahaha

Novasiri

Wind is a big dergon~ A special type of dergon~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i wanna dragon

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

dergon

Novasiri

Yus~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

still rooting for umbrage

Novasiri

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so nice and big and adorable

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus

Chiroptera Chapter

START "Woah, where am I?" Demetrie was waste deep in a big, golden field of wheat. --- "Hey Zoey!" "Good morning!" "Notice anything... different?" "Why Demetrie, your hair looks fabulous! I wish my bed head looked that good!" "Notice anything... else?" "To what could you be refering? OO do you have a new power?" "I'm thinking along the lines of something fluffly, drooly, barky..." "Oh you mean Ruben! He's my new doggy and I wove him so much!!" "You're dad won't let you have any pets, remeber?" "Did I say my dog? I meant to say your dog." "I don't want a dog." "Mmm, I dunno, from this angle he looks more like an oversized cat to me." "Zoey..." "Aw fine." ~Let's get him back home.~ --- "Okay so - top five favorite festivals: go!!" "Winter and summer festival, they're not even top two, they are both #1. The tourist festival brings so many cool people, world cultures within summer festial, and spring festival. Top five fav festivals: Go!!" "Fall, summer, spring, tourist, and winter! #1 basically counts for all five. It's just magical, the merry go round is my favorite of all!" "Ugh. On the list of my least favorite things; that forest. It's always so creepy." "Yeah," some sort of dream flash back, "It is." From pov of undergrowth, "It always seems like somethings watching me." shot of dog, speech bubbles in bg, "Same! I always feel that!!" "Tho sometimes, I feel like I want to go into the-" "--RUBEN!"

"You didn't bring a leash or dog treats or anything??" "No, did you??" "What were you going to feed him??" "Pizza, of course!! RUUUBBEEEN" "H-hey! Not too far ahead!" montage of Demetrie turning round and round, creepy angle and what not. "Wait for me!" Small clearing, Zoey's stopped hands on her head. "Did you see where he went?" "No, I can't find him anywhere." Sudden shake in the under growth, both Zoey and Dem freeze. some sequence of panels and horrified faces, Ruben pops out of the bush with a tennis ball "Do they just inherintly know where to find tennis balls?" "I'm pretty sure that's not how dogs work." something alluding to a giant dark creature luming above them in the dark of the trees. -- some sort of transition. I don't want them walking back *zoey dramaticly fake crys* Good bye, sweet Ruben. -- transition "So you really don't want pets?" "Nope! No pets!" "I mean yeah... Is that weird?" "Not even something tiny? Like a fish?" "Nope. I'd probably forget to feed them. Pets take a lot of work!" "You couulllddd get a cat! They basically take care of themselves!" "No cats. No fish. Hey I'm going this way, you want to come over for some lunch?" "Can't! My dad is going to be home soon! I'm going to clean up, and then im going to convince him to let me have a puppy!!" "Awesome!! Tell him I say hi!" "Will do, take care!! -- Later that day... Dem: "So you're sure you don't wanna come over and play Final Destiny 433?" Zoe: ~"Yeah, my dad said there's a good chance he'll be home tonight, I figured I'd clean up a bit."~ Dem: "Awwww okay," Zoe: ~"Quit complaining!"~ Dem: -beep- "Hold on - it's Joey, I'll patch him through. Hey Joe!" Zoe: ~"Heeeeyyy Joeeeyyy!"~ Joe: "Hey! Are y'all going to the premiere tonight?" Dem: "Premiere? What premiere?" Joe: "Battle Force Galactic Blitztasic, it's in 4-D and they got the Hola-cube back up." D + Z: "SERIOUSLY" ~"OMGGGGG"~ Dem: "How much are tickets?" Joe: "Wait, you don't have tickets? I think they sold out already" "WHHAAATTT" ~"NOOOOOOOooooo"~ Joey: "Hold up, I'll patch Damien through. -- Hey Damien" Dame: "Joey! What's up?" Joey: "I got Zoey n Demetrie on the line - Do you have extra tickets to the premiere?" Dame: "Hmmm. What's in it for me tho?" "Cookies!" "I'll commission you an artwork!" "Am I supposed to contribute something??" -car pulls up in the window-- "Sounds delightful! I'll see what I can do. Deme, in the mean time you owe me one! ‍❤️ -click-" Joey: "I'll see what I can do on my end too." Zoey: "I'll see if my dad wants to come!" -knock at the door- Dem: "I'll... have to call you back." Driver: "Hello Demetrie, the Mayor would like to see you." -- Demetrie is in the back of a limo. He pulls up to a big house, he walks inside. "Hello Demetrie! How are you? Have you been well?" "Yeah of course! If you wanted to check up on me, you could've just called-" "Of course my boy, but where's the fun in that? I called you here for more than that, however. The Gaurd Force Cheif wants to include you on a matter of concern." "Oh" "In the conference room to you're right." -- "As you know, we've been getting more disturbances around the perifery of the forest. This morning, we got a call detailing an attack on the west end of town. No one was hurt, but there was a lot of distruction. Similar claw marks were found at two reported store break ins." Shows pictures of claw marks, windows broken, food eaten and missing. "Demetrie, would you happen to know anything about this?" little shocked, "N-no, sir, I do not." "As you can see cheif, I've already told you as much. "Of course. Well, we don't know what it is yet, but it's big..." -- Some notes for tomorrow: "Between the dream and the meeting with the towns gaurd force, I cant seem to catch a break today" "Demetrie!" Deme hearts n like DAW MA FRIENDS ARE MA BREAK /sobs "Wow, there are so many people!" "This is pretty much the only theater in town, but it looks like people came from over the hill. But any way --- That's not important right now." *clasps shoulders srs face*, "Are you prepared." "I was born prepared." *Zoey geeking out in the background* *wooping and cheering* "Guess it's time!" ----- 27 pages at this point SHots of going inside, future tech. Poster of Battle Galactic Blitztastic. Shot of Giant Popcorn Machine "Snap, I always forget how big that thing is" -- Zoey "Yeah, back in the early 3000s they competed nationally to see how big they could get it. We won, of course." "I thought I was supposed to be the history buff!" "Oh, that's right, I forgot that you're brother used to work here." --Dem Alright - let's get ready - to save - the galaxy! *something about representation and synthetics but bruh its straight up about systemic vioelne and oppression, but because robots and synths dont exist yet, it ends up being an allegory abour race. A relatively explicate one, but like, that seems super sucky. A human element is needed Joseph: "Oh yeah! Allissona Zhang is in this! I've been so hyped for this movie, having diasabled actors play disabled charachers is the only way to go." *cracks open phone screen to look up pictures of Allissona, shows Demetrie* Zoey: "Speaking of representation, have you heard the rumors that a Synth is going to be in this one?" Joseph: "What, you mean the robot?" Zoey: "No, a synth, basically a robot with a human brain, but the original human brain was rejected! It's like a person haunting a robot, so trippy." Joseph: "Nah Zoe, synths were debunked, weren't they? We've never had that kind of tech." Zoey: "Yeah, debunked by the US with the New World Council, but that's exactly what they'd want you to think." Joseph: "Dang, true, very true."

Later that night, the premiere is about to start. Zoey shows up, soft aside about her dad not making it to town. We meet more people/characters? Foreshadowing for shenannigins happinging under the facility. The Bat found its way inside from underground, the large old theater is also connected underground to the clock tower (Yes, the small town has a clock tower xD) Establishing shot of the lobby - the complex is pretty huge! There's a huge fountain of pop corn. As the movie starts, the bat peeks menecingly through the projected screen, everyone panics. As everyones leaving, Joey and Zoey rush to Deme's aide and ask how they can help. The bat squirms out into the lobby, starts feisting on the pop corn. They hide behind a counter on the far side. Demetrie runs with the rest of the crowd, then he slows to a stop. He remembers back to the guard force meeting, he feels intense pressure that he is the one who has to defend against this threat. "I'm the one... who's supposed to... protect everyone." flashback: "I've always had faith in you, Demetrie." Vaugely, fuzzily, he hears his friends calling to him, "Demetrie! Come on!" "I can't go." "Deme, this doesn't have to be your fight." "Everyone's counting on me, I feel like I don't have choice." "Demetrie... Fine. If you stay, we stay." "But-"

"We're here to help, tell us what to do!" "Do??" "What can we do!! Did you see how big it was??" "Don't panic, let's brainstorm." "Right, right." Zoey: "How did it get in here in the first place??" Joe: "The underground tunnels, it's got to be." Zoey: "The basement has tunnels that lead to the outside??" Joey: "That or the creature burrowed it's way down." Deme: "How do we fight a bat??" Joey: "Bright lights? Loud noises??" Zoey: "Maybe we can lure it outside! Joey: "No, not outside, inside. We'll drive it back underground."

Zoey ends up being the one to distract the bat. She notices that it's sweeping along the floor, picking up popcorn. They are both in the isle near the front, it looks at her, it pauses. The bat poses no threat. Either she reaches over to give it popcorn, or she barely has time to think "Wait... popcorn??" and then the emergency sirens blare inside the theater and she snaps back to the plan at hand. "Wait, popcorn??" The alarm sirens blare, the bat screeches and takes out the whole row infront of it, zoey barely dives out of the way.

They trap them under the theater, then realize that the bat is harmless. To save them, they go either underground or sneak their way out and to the clock tower. The giant bat is trapped under some non essential support beams, and the three are talking about what to do with the bat. Zoey notices that its long tounge is snagging tiny bits of popcorn. She runs over and grabs a bag of popcorn that has fallento the ground. The bat calms down. "Zoey! What are you doing!" "No look, he's harmless. He's just hungry!" -- Bat, Demetire and Zoey are in the bell tower. "So. Now we have a bat." "I think I'll name him Ruben!" Deme face palms, "We're not feeding him pizza." shot of the tower and zoey's speech bubble, "Of course not! Duh, bats are insectovors!" END
