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.
Current manager of the Wells Hotel Maris. Born Amanda King she was one of the 'Second Wave' of immortals who was saved by Dumuzi due to being the inventor of the microprocessor...and was intimately involved with the Great Grandfather of Julia Wells Caladharas
Well, she was forcibly dragged to safety while everyone she loved, or even knew, died. Lots of people would have made the sentimental choice of staying with their loved ones rather than the logical “they are dying anyway, I’m going to abandon them and live” (assuming you even feel like living, after the entire word, and everyone you love is dead). Hard to feel gratitude towards her rescuer, too, as the first thing she was told was that she was saved because she was useful.
Then she had to make the no-choice of working with them (not for, with, but still not much of a difference), or going on her merry way alone in a dead world and hoping she can scavenge enough resources to survive. Not exactly like she can quit her current “job” and look for another – if she wants to survive, she is stuck with them.
And lastly, she feels the need to help the sick/wounded, perhaps the only choice she is actually making, the choice to care for her patients. Makes sense she would be defensive of that.
She hasn’t seemed to be too happy about surviving.
