CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 16

(Transcript and visual captions below}

Darren had to go for a walk to cool off. Well, not literally, because he was dead and whatnot. No, he was pissed. The wind blew through his hair, which still sent little chunks of plaster flying. That freaking Allison! --Tristan too. They just left him like that! He thought about recent events, and started feeling a little glum. Glum, and pissed. He was just trying to be real, Jack was probably dead. Some freaky clown pulls him into the underworld, who's gonna survive that?
He walked along Rainbow Ave, which everyone always found delightfully ironic since it was so dreary and rundown. Ha. Ha. The street was deserted save for drunk drivers, hookers and him. Busted up hotels covered in graffiti creaked in the light wind, and he thought if he strained his ears, he could hear the roaches and rats scuttling within. He shook his head and frowned to himself. He was in no mood, not for anything! GRRR!

***

Florence finished the last set of the night. She always felt like she could continue on, but the band always wore out before she did, of course. Singing felt so good, even if being in the spotlight was a little scary. With the bright lights on her though, she couldn't see the crowd. Just black silhouettes and a vague hint of the chatter behind the wall of illumination. Also, it reminded her of the sun. Or at least, what she could remember of it, warm and bright. She held the last note a little unnaturally long, the power of her lungs well-tuned after a century, but she dropped it before she even needed to. The crowd clapped with great enthusiasm, as they always did. She smiled brilliantly, and went backstage to see the smiles of her coworkers. It felt good.

In which Darren knows all about local species, yo.

I couldn't think of a bottom text, so you get two top ones! Florence is so cute, I should draw more fancy lady dresses. Also, Christopher thinks I have issues because I hand draw all that chainlink fence. But, I know you'll all appreciate it, you can feel the love and craftsmanship radiating from those tiny pixels, can't you? :3

PS 5 rows again :(

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

1.)

(Smiling Florence receives adulation from her coworkers. She is wearing a fancy dress with golden shoulders.)

HAT MAN: That was beautiful!

BUN WOMAN: Great job, Flo!

2.)

(She heads for the exit, putting on her lace shawl as the woman with a bun waves goodbye. )

HAT MAN (off screen): Need an escort to your car?

FLORENCE: Haha, I can take care of myself.

3.)

(Florence walks outside, when she gets a message on her pink cell phone.)

CELL PHONE: beedeebeedee

4.)

(Florence is shocked by something she heard!)

FLORENCE: What?! No! Demy would never do that! I don’t believe it!

5.)

(Florence trails off as she walks down the alley, seeing a strange dark silhouette at the end.)

FLORENCE: So Dragomir... I don’t...

CELL PHONE (SARAH?): Well if you don’t believe it--

6.)

(Florence puts the phone down, stunned, as she sees the strange figure of some sort of bull-like creature that snorts at her.)

CELL PHONE (SARAH?): I don’t care what you think! *clk*

7.)

(Darren glances backward, as he walks down a shady road, someone is 'wooing' behind him.)

MEANWHILE...

(The crappy car drives by, and Darren flips it the bird.)

PERSON IN CRAPPY CAR: YEAH! BELFRIES MAN!

(Darren looks in surprise at a bird eating some roadkill in the middle of the road as the car drives off.)

PERSON IN CRAPPY CAR IN DISTANCE: BELFRIES GUY FLIPPED ME OFF WOOOO!

10.)

(A closer shot, it is a bald-headed vulture munching on something nasty. Its eyes glow green.)

DARREN (thinks) :A vulture?! WTF?! Shit, those aren't even indigenous.

11.)

(The bird stares, glowing eyes and bloody meat hanging out of its mouth.)

12.)

(Darren is grossed out.)

13.)

(The vulture suddenly transforms into a freaky monster, pouncing right at Darren. Darren flips out!)

DARREN: FUCK SHIT GODDAMN NO!

14.)

(Vitus drives down a lonely road.)

MEANWHILE...

VITUS: Angela? I can’t drive and keep answering the phone.

(Vitus is exasperated with Angela, as he talks on the cell phone and drives.)

PHONE (ANGELA): Are you almost here?

VITUS: Yes I’m--

PHONE (ANGELA): Wait wait...

16.)

(Vitus is worried, as Angela hangs up on him.)

PHONE (ANGELA): I have to go, someone’s knocking.

VITUS: What? No! Angela? Angela?!

17.)

(A bird Vitus flies away from the car, leaving it abandoned on the road..)

VITUS (BIRD):--and there goes another car...
