CHAPTER 11 - PAGE 3

(Transcript and visual captions below}

It was simple as checking a few of her favorite spots, and there she was. Sarah was notoriously fussy, so there wasn't a long list to check. But hanging around clubs like nothing had ever happened? It suited her arrogance, but her boldness was still shocking. Demetri sorted his thoughts, it wasn't like she was dangerous, but he needed something from her. What a fine situation to be in. They'd had a falling out or several in the past, but nothing this dire.

She's got a delicate china doll in her grubby hands, I can't afford to stomp in there and make threats. I could appeal to her sense of justice? Or a reminder of her own troubled youth? Well... maybe if it's the right threat.

In which burlap is the hot look for spring.

        "Can we come inside?" Thierry asked. Black Magic Books was one of the only shops with a light inside, everyone else was shuttered and dark, and the street was empty save for weary barflies. Arsonella gawped blankly behind the shop's glass. Thierry nodded his head at the door. Her gaze followed his, and returned with no reaction.
Allison shifted on her feet, rolled her eyes and shifted again. Nothing.
"Nice shop you got here," she said, "shame if something happened to it..."
        "Really!" Thierry turned with narrow eyes, "where did you learn that technique? Sounds like something Nick would say."
        "I dunno, seemed like a thing to do. Who's Nick?"
        "...Eh."
        "SORRY, ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?" Arsonella pressed against the glass, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I'LL GO OPEN THE DOOR."

Eugugh pt 2. Somehow I got behind in both the comic ~and~ NaNoWriMo. ;_; Thanks C for your amusing late update arts this week!

 

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

1.)

(Demetri is coming through a dark curtain with a celestial motif, and looks reluctant.)

2.)

(His hands are behind his back as he approaches Sarah and Tristan in a fancy restaurant.)

DEMETRI: Sarah?

3.)

(Demetri still looks pensive, a bit annoyed. Sarah is blasé.)

DEMETRI: I come in good faith. I just want to--

SARAH: Excuse me, we’re busy.

4.)

(Demetri is shocked, really doesn't believe it. Sarah's eyes have drifted closed while she continues.)

DEMETRI: Busy?

SARAH: Yes. You can bring us another bottle but please. We’re having a private discussion.

5.)

(Demetri has gotten over the shock, but still looks disturbed.)

DEMETRI: Wh--But?I can't imagine you--Eh. Tristan?

6.)

(In the Demetri-eye view, Tristan smiles blankly, but says nothing.)

DEMETRI: (off-panel) Tristan? Err...

7.)

(Demetri leans in, looking warily at Sarah and reaching for Tristan.)

DEMETRI: Perhaps we’ll just--

8.)

(With a rushing sound like raked leaves, the vampire likenesses burst, revealing
  Sarah and Tristan are burlap dummies with button eyes and stitched faces.)

DEMETRI: The devil--?!

9.)

(Elsewhere Thierry and Allison approach a storefront labelled "Black Magic.")

ALLISON: These places have real magic shit?

THIERRY: Not really. The candles are nice.

10.)

(Allison is suspicious, Thierry smirks as he breaks off a lil' telepathy.)

THIERRY: It’s more about the people inside.

Come to me, Arsonella.

11.)

(Arsonella comes to the window, looking out.)

ARSONELLA: Hello? Who is--

12.)

(Arsonella is shocked to see Thierry. But why?)

ARSONELLA: It’s... it’s you...

But I thought...

Why am I saying this out loud?
