unsounded

I know Sette and Duane tend to be everyone's favourites but I get Big Feelings for these two. Not only is it shared affection for Matty that makes them tolerate each other, but the understanding they've developed as they've spent time together, and learned how they each tick. Jivi still mostly thinks Quigley needs to be punched in the mouth more...

18-99

That was a long scene. We won't be away from our heroine for too many pages but let's see what kind of horrible things Jivi and Quigley can manage to do to each other and to themselves. Without the squishes Sette promised I'm not sure they have too much of a chance against whatever's waiting for them inside that building.

18-97&98

You insult Jacaranda's flowers?
You say Jacaranda's flowers unmanly?
Such cruelty to Jacaranda!
Get lick'd

18-96

Yeah, she smells about like she should.

Jacaranda doesn't really speak, so don't hurt yourself waiting for him to say something. Lions can only produce a few specific monosyllables of human language, and don't really like to do it.

18-95

Such a hateful little goblin.

"Shipbuilder" is a very, very old-fashioned thing to call a Sharteshanian. Even Sette doesn't know what the turd means by it. Sharteshane was founded by seafaring raiders and they still have a strong maritime culture.

What else... lion's name is Jacaranda. Those are jacaranda flowers on his ears - his ...

If you look back at his other appearances, you never see his back, or where his tail would have joined. It was never his~

Just a fun little thing so this OtherSette could get the drop on you.

18-92&93

Two pages today, I busted butt to get one extra page done last week, so I thought I'd share it with all my besties.

A momentous visitor! Sette doesn't really remember her stillborn, dead twin brother... of course she doesn't, she was only a newborn herself for that brief time they were together. But she knows all a person's memories are in...

18-89,90,91

Three pages today, I just couldn't see posting these separately. Ah, we can only go up from here!

Someone suggested recently I'm maybe a little too explicitly talky about what's going on in the pages and I'd hate if that's the case. I'll try to only offer additional commentary if I'm directly asked for clarification :) We have seen Sette's...

18-87&88

Farewell, crow necklace. I will not miss drawing you~

Whatever happens, Duane's directly provoked it with his actions. This is what Sessine wanted. But maybe he can still turn it around-!

Naughty Bastion fic

I got an urge, you guys pick.

(Like I don't know exactly who's gonna win, you freaks.)

18-86

We'll do two pages on Wednesday.

18-85

Is this the honest and intelligent thing to do or the honest and idiotic thing to do. Remember you're a Frummagem, Sette. There ain't no profit in honesty.

18-84

Hm.

18-83

Duane is such a weenie. Sette yells at him proper and he automatically apologises like a scolded dog. Doesn't back down though.

I find the rest of the scene after this page traumatizing and uncomfortable, prepare yourselves. (like Duane I am a weenie tho)

18_82

Sette's desperate enough to get him back in control that she's laying out some pretty big secrets here. But she's terrified of that stupid giant crow, and her every instinct is screaming at her that once she shows up, the game is over.

I know Duane is acting a damn fool but man, he is being pulled in a hundred different directions and he ...

18-81

Duane's very first F-bomb, in case you were wondering. He's never been one for the really uncouth language unless he has need to threaten or insult a child lol

18-80

Don't count Ufal out. He's very hurt, but the eels don't care about that so much as they care about how afraid you are, how enraged you are, how hateful you are. Ufal could pull through if he keeps his head about him. Go ahead and worry about Toma and Elka though, Ruckmearkha did not appear to be in a merry mood.

18-78&79

Two pages! Everything's coming up Ruckmearkha today!

I hope Duane did not surprise you too terribly. He has his reasons. Well, I think we know his reasons. There wasn't much that happened in the shrine to change his opinion on Queen Sonorie - just to make him hesitate a moment before remembering who he is. And Duane does not subscribe to ...

18-77

I think even Darkest feels just a smidge sorry for him. Just the tiniest scintilla of pity.

18-76

Jets and Coppers are almost supernaturally at odds with each other in Alderode. Their souls border each other so closely thanks to the Dammakhert's meddling that it's the Jets that seem to hate Roger Foi-Hellick the most above all other castes. So Bastion gets a heady quaff of haterade here.

It's his first. He was actually face to face wi...

18-75

Everyone thinking Sette will just yeet Ruckmearkh: would YOU want to touch that thing?

My webhost is being dumb again, this page might not go up on the site tonight. Help ticket submitted.

18-74

What are you going for, Ilganyag? Is this really about Queen Sonorie? Or about proving a point? And to whom?

18-73

Sette's hands are kinda full, where the hell's her parent or guardian?!
(very near)

18-72

I like that Bastion assisted Ufal and not Paul. Everyone really needs to keep their eye on Chea though, she is small and could be easily misplaced.

18-71

They're boxed in! D: Sette, pay attention or they're doomed!

18-70

Duane knew she was here in town, somewhere, but imagine who you've for seven years assumed is you and your daughter's murderer suddenly streaming live on Youtube right in front of your green sparkly nose. And your little runt cohort can reach through the screen to have her way with her, but you sure can't.

Duane can trace pretty much ever...

18-69

A good page number for Darkest and Bastion, but neither is feeling the romance.

Queen seemed like she was ready to make a confession before her little handmaiden cut her off. Wonder what that's about...

18-68

This is one of those scenes I wish I could post all in one go. It's a quick succession of a bunch of almost inevitable things happening and bringing the situation to a terrible head!! But that's not how we do things in this medium, so let's goooo :3

Try to remember where all our players are from page to page, and don't forget our khert-bou...

18-67

Smooth as silk. So far so good!

Just a note but my webhost is having issues and FTP isn't working. I'll post the update on the site as soon as it's back up.

18-66

A sad and also creepy page, to me. Duane's torn between himself, and whatever the f*ck is wrong with his travelling companion. And it IS wrong. Her hands are oozing blood. This is WRONG. But what can he do other than follow her?

Going to do a brief pause for the week to keep the buffer healthy. There's lots of double pages I wanna do when ...
