Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Amarenzu is one of the arrivals from the 'Dispersion Event' that took place at the City of Pirogin. So far, she is the only lucid one that has been found.
The Dweller. Prophet. Statistician. Sometimes madman. It is unclear, even to himself, whether he is seeing the future or calculating probabilities better than the fastest computer in existence. Needless to say, The Dweller knows things, often before they happen.
Probably because no one tried to teach her.
She`s probably lacking all kinds of reference points.
In hospitals people don`t have much time to talk.
The psychiatrists come to listen (not talk) and the more unstable patients take all the relevant time off the nurses (probably just to prevent them from hurting themselves).
If no one takes the time to give her a spoon and call it “spoon” she has no opportunity to learn the word.
And a psychiatrist who tries to talk to her about her husband or past will scarcely show photos…
That’s because the psychologists are all assuming that they’re trying to reach the woman she was rather than the multimillenial mental parasite that devoured her consciousness so it could have a body of its own again.
… Sorry, were we supposed to feel sympathetic to these people?
I wonder why she didn’t pick up the local language. Not like she has much else to do…
