Chapter Eighteen Page 22
(SIT)
Sparrow: Reseda was the focus of a cult when you met her. Led by her former Master. You got her out of it, basically by accident. You quit after the leader died, and she followed you out.
But I’ve done my research — I know there are others . . .
(SHIVER)
Thanks. . . . there are other Being-centric cults around.
A town in, I think it’s Zimbabwe, that reveres the Lion. A group in remote Pakistan that’s focused on the Goat. The Master of the Octopus, in Japan, collects gifts on her behalf from people who think she’s some kind of spirit.
To say nothing of Masters who have Beings do bad things without any religious excuse . . . or Beings who are MIA, doing who-knows-what.
But I bet you’ve looked up this stuff already, right? You have good reasons to be interested.
Fuck, there’s more cults. Anyone else worried about this?
Oh yeah. Totally worried, bro…..I wonder how many of them are abusive like the one Reseda was in? :(
On another note, I like the design of the Lion. Yay more characters of color!
Cults are not typically known for their healthy atmospheres….
Glad you like the design! And yeah, Sparrow’s the only white person (and/or typically-white-appearing-Being) on the page =)
*whispers* I thought Sparrow was Jewish… I have friends that would argue against her whiteness.
She’s both Jewish and white. It’s one of the areas where US racial dynamics get fuzzy.
The Japanese being looks like Michiru.
And she’s basically a tentacle monster.
That sets up some WEIRD fanfic right there. As in, her “master” is Haruka and boy is their love life interesting.
How can this be any weirder than what already exists?
Just read the whole comic today. I’m not sorry. That was amazing, congratulations! I love it!
Thank you!
