CHAPTER 8 - PAGE 03
(Transcript and visual captions below}

      Theodore was highly ashamed of the state he was in, but he couldn't wait another moment. This quest was essential, and there was no time to find a nicer outfit or put in more effort at grooming. To his surprise, it almost seemed to help his case to be bedraggled.
      "I had thought for a moment you were some homeless urchin," Santi said as they took a seat next to the pool, lounging casually. Theodore had nearly mistook his friend earlier as well, he seemed to be an adult man at first glance, though they had been somewhat similar in physical age. Perhaps it was just fashion and demeanor, and the confidence of owning an enormous estate.
      Santi continued amiably, "Luckily I am kind hearted enough to let even the lowly in! ...I only tease you. I apologize," he smiled, and Theodore saw a glimpse of the face he remembered, and felt as though no time at all had passed since he'd last seen his friend. Yet, it had been the better part of a century.
      Santi leaned back with a droll expression, "Well then-- what fiends have left the ever stylish Mr. Leighton in such a sorry shape, and how may I go about destroying them?"
      Theodore smiled, "Always the fierce warrior, Santi. Would you really destroy them for me? It's the Circle. Do you remember my mission? I've had some successes, but I need help..."
      Santi raised an eyebrow, and gestured to a servant. "I do remember. But first-- dessert."

In which Tricky Slicky has attitude-- but attitude is not actually everything.
      "...It's totally sick-- Some kind of teacher or something, right? The neighbors kept complaining about the smell... I heard they found him in his house, the door was hanging open and some wild animals or something had torn him up! Like, face all fucked up and everything. Dogs chewed it off or something. Weird part is-- they think he killed some kid first, there was blood all over the place that matched. But they can't find the body. Freaky. They don't tell you that stuff on the news man, you gotta hear it from first hand accounts!"
      "Maybe the kid was really a werewolf and transformed when they got killed."
      "What?! An undead werewolf? Man, where do you get that kinda shit?"
      "It makes sense though, doesn't it?"
      "...Yeah. You got a point."

Don't worry, Santi has never appeared before or been mentioned before so you don't need to scour the archives looking for him. :) Is it wrong that I kept craving raspberry sorbet while making this page?

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

1.)

(Theodore and Santi sit at a table outside an elegant estate, a servant is carrying away a tray.)

THEODORE:  Ooh Santi, this looks delightful!

SANTI:  The recipe is quite simple.

2.)

(Theodore looks at a dish of what appears to be red sorbet.)

SANTI: I have a servant eat some chocolate bars before they are drained. Then the blood is frozen and blended.

3.)

SANTI:  It’s the least I could offer you after the wisdom you shared those years long ago. Where would I be without that little trick?

4.)

(Theodore shakily tries to use the spoon.)

SANTI: I cannot believe you’ve had to sleep outdoors like a dog! Princes should not live in the dirt.

THEODORE: I don’t quite remember how to use these.

5.)

SANTI: Would you care to stay here?

THEODORE: You’re such a friend!

SANTI: Of course! --and as for your mission...

6.)

SANTI: I’m sure I could find some friends to help tear the Circle to bits.. --As long as you save a few scraps for friend Santi.

7.)

(Theodore winks and does a finger gun.)

8.)

(Santi smiles and takes his coat off as Theodore eats his treat.)

THEODORE: Ooh yummy!

9.)

(Demetri looks at a chained up refrigerator, Francesca approaches behind him.)

FRANCESCA: Oh I keep the snacks in the other fridge now.

DEMETRI: You think that’s going to hold her?

10.)

(Fran makes a poking gesture with her finger, Demetri looks horrified.)

FRANCESCA: Yeah, that little shrew is a total weakling. Plus I give her a good poke now and then.

11.)

DEMETRI: Sighhhh. My poor sister.

12.)

(Demetri is annoyed.)

FRANCESCA:  No really, it doesn’t bother me at all!

DEMETRI: Not... what I meant.

13.)

(Tristan, wearing a leather jacket, waves to Jack who runs towards him. They appear to be outside a club)

TRISTAN: Hurry Jack!

14.)

(Tristan takes Jack's hand and leads him into the club, the lights are green and purple and the audience looks bored.)

TRISTAN:  Just in time! Bad band is almost done.

15.)

(The band on stage poses dramatically.)

TRISTAN: I even get Darren to go! Hold on, I find him.

BAND: FANKS! WE'RE TRICKY SLICKY!

16.)

(Jack overhears some kids say something about Minchin.)

CONCERT GOER: Blahblahblah MINCHIN...

17.)

(Jack listens in.)

FRIZZ HAIRED KID: I don’t really think the slashings are like Minchin’s, but it’s sure spooky. Did you hear about that guy from Parkville High?
