CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 14

(Transcript and visual captions below}

Aubrey nearly crawled over the desk to get closer to the screen. Did he even understand what he was looking at? That ridiculous skull he kept packing all over the estate rattled against the keys. Ellen couldn't really process the information. Dragomir... dead? What did that mean for the Circle? If it disintegrated, would she be free? ...Oh yeah. Of course not.

In which yelling at computers makes them sad.

Jack followed the small vampire through the drafty estate, their feet thudding and creaking on the soft floorboards. He had forgotten how heavy and burdensome it was in a body without supernatural powers. The cold winter air gasped through the pores of the building, broken windows, soft and crumbling walls... He noticed Santi pocket a shiny object he couldn't make out in time. Santi noticed his attention, and smiled.

      "Letter opener."

I should be proud of myself for getting this one done on-time-ish, given that it is the much maligned 5 row comic! 19 dang panels. Diggity dang, sooo many buggle eyes on this page. I wonder who set that desktop image?

            TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

1.)

(Greyburn is freaking, he has a familiar looking skull tied to his head. Ellen sits behind him in shock.)

AUBREY: Tomasz? No! By his own child?!

2.)

(Sarah is still screaming into the screen, Helen watches in shock..)

SARAH: Aubrey, it is true! You cannot ally with this monster!

3.)

(Greyburn stretches his giant hand over the screen of the laptop.)

ELLEN: No Dad! That’s my laptop!

AUBREY: I will not! I swear that I will not!

4.)

("AstroEll has disconnected" screen pops up on a computer screen with a ribald desktop image.)

THEODORE: WHAT?! Jack, was that real?!

5.)

(Theodore looks shocked and furious. Jack and Minnie look on uncomfortably.)

THEODORE: Wh--NO! Ionavic you treacherous bastard! How-How could he?!

6.)

(Theodore clutches at the air dramatically.)

THEODORE: He did it to spite me! This was MY duty!

7.)

(Santi suddenly appears, holding his hands behind his back.)

SANTI: Theodore? I would like a word.

8.)

(Behind his back he sheaths (or un sheaths?) a rather fancy looking dagger as Theodore speaks..)

THEODORE: Oh, of course, friend. --But there has been shocking news!

9.)

(Theodore explains to surprised Santi.)

THEODORE: Dragomir has been slain by his own! The Circle is turning on itself!

SANTI: I see... This is an opportunity.

10.)

(Santi speaks.)

SANTI: Two beasts remain. Strike now, while they flail.

11.)

(Santi lays it on thick. Jack looks horrified, putting a hand on Minnie's shoulder.)

THEODORE: Mmm... I don’t...

SANTI: I saw that child of Sombreta’s downtown, he would lead you right to her...

THEODORE: I musn’t leave Jack alone.

SANTI: Then I will stay with him.

12.)

(Theodore glances back at Jack.)

THEODORE: Oh...? Well, perhaps.

SANTI: Time is of the essence.

THEODORE: Yes...

13.)

(Jack suddenly speaks, Theodore turns back.)

JACK:  Wait!

14.)

(Jack pleads with Theodore.)

JACK: Don’t kill Vitus! Please...

15.)

(Theodore agrees.)

THEODORE: ...Okay Jack.

16.)

(Minnie looks uncomfortable, Jack looks terrified.)

MINNIE: Ehmm... Sooo... This ees dramatic.

17.)

(Santi beckons a nervous Jack.)

SANTI: Young lad, come with me.

18.)

(Jack follows Santi hesitantly.)

MINNIE: Bye..?

SANTI: Let us go somewhere more pleasant.

19.)

(Jack turns around with a wistful expression to say goodbye to Minnie.)

JACK: Bye..
