While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. š
Thorondor āIanā Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesnāt care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erechās Clocktower District. For those people who have rpgād in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheronās. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
Great web comic! You should consider entering this in our writing contest at PlotDog Press. Yes – comics are writing, you put great creative efforts into this.
This reminds me of Clarke’s Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Of course, magic can be a wonderful explanation.
Yeah, the Clarke commentary was definitely in my mind at least through this section…but another thing that has been in my mind is a Lou Reed album called “Magic and Loss” Comic-wise it seems appropriate.
Especially:
“When you pass through humble
when you pass through sickly
When you pass through
I’m better than you all
When you pass through
anger and self deprecation
and have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laugh
and you can savor the magic
that let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
and there’s a door up ahead not a wall
As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
trying to remember its name
When you pass through fire licking at your lips
you cannot remain the same
And if the building’ burning
move towards that door
but don’t put the flames out
There’s a bit of magic in everything
and then some loss to even it out.”
