Chapter Six Page 17
Part of the reason this is so late is because I spent the morning at South Station doing exciting location research. I hope you’re all suitably impressed that the shape of the clock is accurate.
The security people were fun to write. Henceforth I’m going to refer to them as Sailor MBTA and Tuxedo Charlie.
***
Sailor MBTA: Stop where you are! How dare you interrupt the people of Boston in the middle of their daily routines?
Tuxedo Charlie: For safety and smooth operation, we’re MBTA security!
In the name of passenger service . . .
Sailor MBTA: . . . we’ll take you into custody!
Cybele: Aww, you’re cute! But if you want to lock me up . . .
. . . you’ll have to catch me first!
(BOING)
Oof. Oof. Ungh.
(CRUNCH:
Sailor MBTA: Call backup! Have them guard all the exits to the subway!
That was… the weirdest magical girl intro this year. :p
Cybele makes for an awfully conflicting ‘villain’, doesn’t she? ^^; In the previous installment, she looked so cute while nibbling on steel fences, and in this one, she’s so… little girl-nice to the MBTA security.
Incidentally, I doubt they’re ever going to catch her. Not when she can just go to normal rabbit size, or turn into an ‘innocent bystander’.
I am suitably impressed! Although I have only been to South Station – once. XD But still! GOOD WORK. And I know I never comment, but damn, I love this comic. <3
What’s the age cut off to be the magic girl Sailor of where you work? If there’s a bonus, I’d love to sign up.
Actually, you’ve done a damn good job at South Station, given that I walk through it twice a day. I like the fact you grabbed the advert they put on the steps up from the red and silver lines, as well.
Those are some damn brave subway security officers we’ve got here. *Still anxiously awaiting the SWAT team*
I was getting less magical girls vibes and more “Team Rocket.”
Me too, except it didn’t rhyme.
I’m from Boston. The MBTA has a for-real police force, and they do NOT f*** around. An acquaintance of mine found that out the hard way. :P
I would love to see them try to take on a Being, though. I’d put the odds at six-five-and-pick-em. XD
