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.
Glass is a Threllichock pilot and investigator for House Caladharas. His Threllichock name is unpronounceable to human kind: his human handle comes from his crystalline talons (A rare birth defect among his people, they are considered a mark of ill omen)
Thorondor “Ian” 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 doesn’t 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. )
I may have forgotten, does Ian consider Glass his brother? Doesn’t look like that is who they dragged out of the way. Betting their decon chamber is going to be quite extensive..
Curb-guy in panel 1 has been there all week. Adah parked about 20 feet from Glass, so his body is probably just out of sight in the lower-right foreground of panel 2, partially obscured by the dialog, the car, and the right-hand edge of the panel. It’s possible that they already moved him, but I suspect comms with Miko would take priority.
I’m betting the lunch sack will be in her car. Come in handy if they get the munchies? Although with the “fog” rolling around they may not want to try … even if they are immune.
I’ve been keeping my guess to myself because I think [redacted] will be [redacted] in [redacted] [redacted] and didn’t want to spoil it, but if that turns out to correct tomorrow, I’ll toast the author with a tot of rum. (And post a comment that I saw it coming, because Chekov’s gun has been [redacted] for a long time now. 🙂 I have been reading this comic since 2005 and truly admire the author’s ability to keep the story going. So many stories peter out or die a slow months-between-pages death. Your persistence is up there with the Foglios and Shaenon Garrity. Huzzah!!
Thanks for spoiling it….I knew I should have waited until 11:59pm tonight to post it. 🙁
