And thus ends Chapter 11!
(Yes. I’m a bad person.)
–
In less I’m evil news, I’m stealing a page from Rose over at Red Moon Rising (and I’m sure countless other comics) and adding a little symbol to the last page of each chapter, as a little stopping marker. I’ll go back soon and add it to the earlier comics.

Chapter 12 intro page later this week, and new comic early next week, where something big happens.
UGH YOU’RE TERRIBLE WHY ;____________________________; bawwwwwwwl
I have a machine in the basement that’s fueled by the tears of Clockworks readers. When I get enough it will power my death laser.
I am the saddest alternative energy source ever.
I’m pretty sure every writer of any medium has one such device.
Joss Whedon has been secretly powering all of Southern California for years.
Ha!
He does; it’s a solid piece of engineering. It used to run on the players’ tears :p
Your death laser shall be fully operational after I finish all MY crying!
*throws herself dramatically down*
WHYYYYYYYY!?!
Now that that’s over…
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Don’t worry, I still love you Shawn.
(You certainly have a love-hate relationship with your readers, don’t you?)
I love you guys, really. I’m just also writing and drawing a story where sometimes really bad stuff happens. This whole chapter got really dark, which kind of snuck up on me, but that’s one of the interesting things about adapting a story that’s already happened (albeit for an audience of 5, who were also co-creators.)
And you never get annoyed with us crying all over the place and threatening your life? Haha!
Nah.
….So.
1.The gang has surrendered.
2.Lukov’s very dead.
3.Thorton, Eva and Toby are unharmed.
4.Oliver is badly injured.
5.Ophelia is down for the count, and possibly dead. In which case she was unable to pass on her powers, so she’ll come back as a wight and try to kill everyone near her.
6. Shawn has a death ray fueled by the tears of his readers.
7. There is no seven because after this chapter, I really have no snark or excitement left. All that’s left…is a cold, soulless, empty stare.
…
There, there.
DOOM.
Are sadness wights a thing?
Well, there are things (like the monster in the Gentleman Caller adventure) in Vheld that feed on suffering and pain and misery and madness and horror. They’re not so pleasant.
Yeah, I got one of those chillin’ out in my closet. He just sits in there, day after day, night after night… just smiling and tipping his hat, laughing over my anxiety driven pacing and whispering ideas to me as I write. But whenever he gets too troublesome I just call out Cthulu, and he runs back to the Void from whence he came. And yet he keeps coming back…
Agh. I really need to remember not to leave comments after 9.
…You should be ashamed of yourself. And now we can add theft to your list of crimes.
HOW COULD YOU
I enjoy how machine gun arm villain has his hands up, a little lamely, as if thinking, “Um, dude, yeah, we’re still here. Maybe you should tell us how you’re going to deal with us, maybe? Hello? Boy this is awkward.”
Heh! I know. I’m like “Thornton…watch your back, dude…”
In the original game, about half of the surviving gang members ran for it, and a few more shots were fired. In the efforts of cleaning up the narrative, I went with everyone surrendering.
I do so love a good tragedy.
BTW, I’m loving the spatter effect on the silhouetted characters.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
And the tears of so many readers healed her, as water has done so many times before…
Clap if you believe in faeries.
Yay! (claps heartily) Go Ophelia! Fae magic! Yayayayayaya- (bawls)
I DO believe in Fae Witches!
