CHAPTER 9 - VITUS INVESTIGATES, PAGE 2

(Transcript and visual captions below}

Crowboys had a lineage trick that Vitus could never quite get. Very good at going... subtle? The youngest tended not to know how to do it. But Irene O'Dare was no youth. He realized part of what he had thought was Ronnie's scent was actually Irene's, about a half second after Irene appeared on the dance floor...

In which the gum gets sticky.

Four decades ago, ornithologists Jens Bibley and Susan Dahlstrom spearheaded a massive effort to use molecular biology to explore hidden relationships in the evolutionary tree of all major bird species. The resultant phylogeny placed caprimulgiformes, such as the Sombreta bird form, in the extended family of strigiformes - or owls. Owls are known for being able to intimidate crows, and Vitus found himself wishing that phylogeny hadn't been overturned by superior gene sequencing technology in the years since.

Quicker pace I said. Five days it's been. Well, you know, it's just how I do. I think I'm starting to understand how Kelly feels, and this style takes like one twentieth the effort a normal KF page requires. Sigh! Well, enjoy this last glimpse of Ronnie. It's been real, baby!

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

1.)

(Rendered to resemble a weathered comic strip of yesteryear, this panel bears the title "Vitus Investigates," and the image of detective Vitus with a smoking gun.)

2.)

(Vitus and Ronnie are startled by the appearance of Ronnie's master - Irene O'Dare.)

IRENE: Hands off my baby, Whitestone. You caught me in your dainty paw seventy years ago. Fancy another go?

3.)

(Irene is transforming into a crow, midway looking a bit silly, with her nose going beakish and her wig sliding back.
Behind her, a stoner in a tall silly hat is amazed.)

STONER:    wow        this stuff is amazing

4.)

(Vitus transforms into a night bird, chasing after fully crow shaped Irene. Ronnie falls back in shock. All the vampire's eyes glow in the dark.)

5.)

(Night bird Vitus flies above the rave, heading for an open window.)

VITUS: (in thought balloon)  Lost sight of her!    Veets, old boy, you've gone mad.

6.)

(Vitus emerges from the window.)

7.)

(Bird Vitus is caught in mid-flight by Irene, now in a horrible monster form and clinging to the wall with magic vampire bird feet!)

IRENE: Oy.
