Chapter 2: Page 13 01/16/13

Okay, I seem to have lied again about the exact days, and I again apologize for my tardiness on that. Last page of the chapter, the second version of it! The original, with it's own direction will be included in the omakes for your comparison should you order. Again, though I wouldn't recommend the full hard copy, I ask for your support in at least ordering a download copy. If you order a hard copy, I will thank you for your sacrifice, as most of that money goes into the printing process. I also will make a two-pack with notes on the first chapter. I don't think I'll remaster it in the current art style until the third chapter, just to keep trilogies together. It's a pet peeve of mine, so bear with me. Or chew me out, I may change my mind if enough people want it remastered before I publish the duel volume. It'll delay publication a bit, though. It will also be a better bargain then buying the two individually.

Transcript:

Mason:
You can feel my grip, Shade. I want you, whenever you consider questioning us, to remember that feeling.
It's time for me to go.
D1t0k0: Yes, I believe it is.
That's quite enough bullying of the human, Mason.
Girl, why don't you relAX?

Another page, I apologize for my laziness and delay in getting this up. I'll at least justify the delay if it happens again! Sorry. Anyway, I changed my mind (again) about the last page, so it'll be a bit before I have it redrawn in an accurate style to the story. Thank you those who have in fact stuck with me, and again, please support if you are willing.

Transcript
Mason:
And, just a word of advice before I go, Shade,
Even the fool girl there is older than you, and much more valued. I assure you, she's seen things you would never want to.
Any one of us could snuff you out of existence. For no reason whatsoever.

Okay, new page up, m'peeps. That leaves two left, and I've drawn both. Just haven't polished them. I'll be remastering the first chapter's pages for a new edition of the first issue, and I'll publish a dual issue when this is done as well.
Enjoy!

Mason will have more monologues as the story goes on, he's that kind of character.

Transcript:
Mason: You just slipped into our world, and our disagreement. I can understand your displeasure, Shade, but you have to learn your place.
It's not your fight, and you don't deserve anything but pity.
Pity, which of course, we are willing to give.
D1t0k0, I'm leaving. I have business, and Laus will have arrived by now.
Shade, don't lose heart.
We don't hate you, you just don't matter enough to require our exertion.

New page todays! Been working on multiple at once right now to keep the rate up, and also increase the quality. Sort of, that last one was kind of bad. But yeah, got a clean keyboard now, so it'll make this more fun to type! Wee!

Transcript
Mason: You want an answer?
Girl: Yes, yes I do.
Mason: First of all, always think about what you're asking for before letting a question past your lips, Shade. You have no place here. You're talking to immortal beings here, and you just challenged them to reveal their methods.
It's a simple answer, Shade. You're dead. Less than human. I saw it happen.

Okay, I'm back again, drawing faster this time, I intend to finish this chapter before the next delay, I have the next page drawn, too. Sorry about the bad outlines in this one, I updated Gimp, and am still getting used to the new version. Also switched operating systems, so that's taking some getting used too. As I said, I have the rest of the chapter plotted out, so I actually know what I'm doing this from here in, it is planned. Merry Christmas, I might put some art up for that tomorrow.

Transcript:
Girl: Is someone willing to tell me, please, what's going on?
D1t0k0, Mason: What?
Um...
No, it's not for humans.
Girl:
Really? I think I deserve an answer here! I black out, wake up in a place I don't know, like... like this! And then you get my life story from me... and then go off arguing about something else? What? And you give me "It's not for humans?"

Transcript:

Mason: Oh, ya know. Just wandering around weaking havoc among the lesser mortals.
D1t0k0: You know I don't like having you on my turf, Mason.
Mason: This I know. I wouldn't be here without reason, M'lady.
D1t0k0: Of course, coming here, you are ready to accept the consequences?
Mason: And what, exactly, do you have to threaten me with, D1t0k0?
D1t0k0: You don't really want to find out, Mason. What was it you wanted?

New page up today! I'm speeding up the plot arc in the next few pages, I hope that doesn't bug anyone.

Transcript:
And that's all I really remember.... after that it's just a blur...
That's such a sad last memory...
The only thing that cuts through the blur at the end is those tear stained eyes. I don't remember what it means, though... I'm sure it was important...
Telling the human how things work around here, Miss D1t-chan?
I'm sure He wouldn't approve of that sort of exposition.
I'm sure He wouldn't. And we all know how highly you think of Him, Mason. What re you doing here?
