Seadra: Hehe, thanks. I suppose that seeing everything up until the end made it all the more twisted for him. I'm glad it wasn't overdramatic... hopefully I can keep from going too far overboard in the pages to follow.
Ada: I'm glad my role-playing worked! One of the things I detest about some works is when all the characters respond to a big event in exactly the same way; it's like the stereotypical "everybody cried out in unison" thing. Not that I'm always innocent of that, but... I'm glad this worked better. I actually hadn't thought about any reference to the "April Fool's" line when I wrote that, but I can see where it might come up. Yes, the tone has changed rather drastically since the first few pages. And the roles may become a lot clearer now that there's one fewer mod on the team.
As for Becca... think she escaped before the lockdown? We shall see...
DS: I think they're aware that a lot of things are happening at once. They just aren't aware of everything. And it's possible that someone might benefit from this... but who?
You say that "this is war"? Are you trying to preemptively escape any blame for something your character may or may not do in the future?
Developments will follow!
Blade: Oh, right. Stages of death. Didn't get the acronym at first.
Martin has fallen, and this opens up a lot of possibilities for a lot of people. What will happen next?
As for your new Eyebrows Man guess, feel free to PM me about it if you like. If you happen to be wrong, I could use a good laugh. Either way, don't expect me to respond in the positive or negative... don't want to give away too much, now!
Sike: The first panel is something I've wanted to try for a long time. Figured this was an appropriately huge moment in which to do it. And thanks for the compliment about mr_pika's denial. Hopefully the portrayals will remain effective!
Mmm... pocky.
All your page are belong to us!
#94: fireguardian makes his first appearance! And it seems as if Charles Legend, ace reporter, is working for him...
I frantically made this page about three hours before posting it. See, I had a page already completed, but I realized that I needed something else to happen first. So here we are.
Oh, and this title's based upon the concept of "free speech," one of the biggest American ideals.
