Chapter 25 Page 9 – Connect Four
Got my computer back this afternoon. Spent most of the rest of the day reinstalling programs, copying fonts and files, and trying to remember which options I had everything set to.
But hey — we’re stable enough to make new comic pages again. Progress!
Timothy: Ann Walker has more than one kidnapped Being in custody. If we rescue Reseda and Lightning but not the others, she’ll just bury them somewhere even deeper.
Which is why we have to grab them all in one shot . . . around the same time as we take the Tiger and the Wolf off the field.
. . . Let me know if I’m making this too figurative.
Miranda: We definitely need you on the ball, now that we know we’re looking at four rescues at once.
Reseda: Hello, stranger . . . you want a lift?
Miranda: And there’s no telling what shape the Porcupine’s in. At least we know the Cormorant and Reseda should be doing all right — and the Bearded Vulture gets stronger every day.
Lightning: N-no . . . ! I think . . . I can fly.
So, just being that close to Master is enough to strengthen Lightning? or was he just weakened by a lack of hope?
Try lack of BATTLES.
Couldn’t be. Anne was likely battling him more frequently than Kara Lynn was battling.
True. Hmmm … lack of WON battles?
Although it easily can be lack of orders.
Can you battle a Being without challenging their Master, though?
Have we met the Porcupine and the Cormorant before?
We’ve only heard of the Cormorant. We’ve never even heard of the Porcupine before.
You can click on a character’s tags to see every one of their earlier appearances, for future reference.
So is this gonna be a, “Legal battle to end all legal battles” rescue, a, “mystic duel to decide the fate of humanity” rescue, or a, “love and friendship conquer all” rescue?
Yes. I think the answer you are looking for is Yes.
Very happy for the Bearded Vulture :D
