CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 3
(Transcript and visual captions below}

      Jack wondered about this strange dream. He was a human again, it seemed. He could smell only the blood up his nose, and his eyes were weak in the dim candlelight. A thin woman brought him something on a heavy silver tray, her arms wobbling. He felt powerless to move or change the proceedings in the slightest. These kind were always the worst.

In which that meal looks a little underdone.

Edith thought of something terrible as she stood in the corner, watching the young man choke down a bite of the bizarre meal she'd been requested to make. The man had a bandaged chest, covered in blood, and he ate a raw heart. Was it his own!? No, that was ridiculous... She stared into the flame of a candle nearby, quieting her mind as she wobbled on unsteady legs. These hearts, it always seems like they're still beating...

Hi everyone, sorry for disappearing for a while. I thought I'd tell you about an amusing health problem to make up for it. Once in a while lately, I'll randomly be reminded of a dream-- I call them 'barfy dreams', and every time I remember them, I feel nauseated for the duration that I am remembering the dream. For example, Christopher says something about 'Eurovision' and I am overwhelmed with a barfy feeling and start reporting random thoughts that occur to me from the dream-- "Doughnuts, the Berenstein Bears, ice cream truck, being late to class *urp." It's very weird. Quickly, I remember nothing and feel okay. Whaaaat.

Oh! I almost forgot, we finally implemented a change that has taken MONTHS to do! We redesigned every webpage to be more clean and fast to load. This is just the start before we make some changes to other pages of the site as well. Also, I have dropped the mention of the update schedule being on specific days, rather, the comic will update twice a week but not on particular days. I'll still aim for the usual days, but that way I won't have to feel bad about ALWAYS being late! xD I recommend signing up for our RSS or Tumblr, and don't worry, I'll not use that as an excuse to slack. NEVAH! :B

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

1.)

(Jack stares with his bloody eyes as Edith lifts the lid off the serving tray.)

THEODORE: (off panel) You remember what I asked you? “Would you like to become considerably more powerful?”

2.)

(Theodore speaks with a serious expression.)

THEODORE: Power is not just for glory, you can use it to protect yourself, and others.

3.)

(The plate is revealed to be a heart on a fancy patterened dish, a knife and fork next to it, little decorative flowers on the plate.)

THEODORE: Jack, you need this. For your own safety. For your friends.

4.)

(Jack stares at it, shocked.)

THEODORE: (off panel) That is no one’s heart but your own. It came from someone insignificant.

5.)

THEODORE: Power is only a tool that can be used by anyone. The wicked do not deserve power, you must take it from them.

6.)

(Jack narrows his eyes with worry, lifting his knife and fork.)

THEODORE: (off panel) Do you want to have to rely on others forever?Think of all the good you could do, if only you were stronger...

7.)

(The bare trees blow in the winter wind, snow falling.)

8.)

(Vitus enters the hotel, Tristan, Darren and Allison look concerned.)

VITUS: I came as quickly as I could but Angela-- um, so--!

9.)

(Vitus looks down at something with an emotional look.)

VITUS: Oh...

10.)

(Jack's empty shoes, covered in ash.)

VITUS: (OFF PANEL) Just as you said.

11.)

(Jack lifts a bite of the heart, speared on a fork, to his mouth.)

THEODORE: (OFF PANEL)  Wonderful.
