CHAPTER 9 - DENOUEMENT

(Transcript and visual captions below}

Theodore felt out the new portions of his memory as he cleaned himself with a fresh handkerchief. Magic! Well, it wasn't the first time he'd learned it, but this new information was something different. He didn't feel any special urge to use it though, it seemed like such a passive way of life. Why call upon external forces to do something you could just do yourself? Also, it was unseemly and God forbade it.

He couldn't wait to get back to home and talk of adventures with all his friends. How exciting it was to have a whole house full of them!

 

In which the rat hat strikes back.

  
The winter air was crisp and cold, and the flowers on Santi's makeshift grave quivered. The two vampires sat in reverent silence for a moment.
      "You and Santi were friends," Lucricia broke the silence, "I was on reasonably amicable terms with him. I didn't agree with his methods, and you know that I don't agree with yours either. You pick your battles though, and you've always been cordial with me."
      "Of course I would be." Theodore stood, and gazed up at the gently swaying tree skeletons that lined the estate. "How did you find this place, friend?"
      "Yes, some manner of magic you've got here? -And interesting, that. Well, I just thought it would be an obvious place to look for you."
      "Oh no! Really? It's that obvious?"
      "...You really are still a child. I forget that."

Thus completeth the chapter. Don't worry Kristi, those rats all died of natural causes after a long happy life. ;) Consuela is weird.

SO-- next up is some brand new stuff for you guys! It'll be pretty different so I hope you'll like it. Also, I actually finished this comic in only 4 days so I will reward myself by reducing my bonuses owed. Woop! Christopher gave me the plague AGAIN so I might have to take it just slightly easier this week. You know where to address your letters of complaint.

I'd like to thank you all again for reading this chapter, and also to those who donated. I love all of you. <3

            

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

1.)

(Theodore smiles, his sweater stained with blood.)

THEODORE: Hello friends! Did you find success as I have?

2.)

(Olga and Consuela stand, looking contrite. Minnie sits in a chair nearby.)

OLGA: Uhh...

MINNIE: Not so much...

THEODORE:Where’s Santi? Bostwick?

3.)

(Consuela takes her hat off respectfully.)

CONSUELA: Dead.

4.)

(A close-up of Consuela's hat, covered in strange taxidermied rats that have familiar visages.)

5.)

(Olga does air quotes.)

OLGA: Ummm I guess we didn’t do so good. I mean we wanna help ya out, but maybe this isn’t our ‘for-tay.’

6.)

(Theodore is shocked.)

THEODORE: What...?! No! Dead?! Really? Wh-what about Jack?

7.)

(Minnie just doesn't know, man.)

MINNIE: Jack went with creepy Santi... I dunno man.

8.)

(Theodore puts his hands on his face dramatically.)

THEODORE:No! This is just-- a nightmare!

9.)

(Theodore rolls up on a filthy looking culvert.)

LATER...

THEODORE: No friend! Not here...

10.)

(Inside the culvert is Santi's body, covered with Jack's velvet coat and a newspaper.)

THEODORE: Santi! God! What monster did this to you?

11.)

(Theodore cries as he picks up the velvet jacket.)

THEODORE: Jack’s coat... Demetrios... What does it mean?

12.)

(Theodore sits on the ground, in the garden of the Kellgren estate. There is a makeshift grave with Santi's dagger and a pile of flowers.)

AND THEN...

13.)

(Lucricia rolls up, brushing vines out of the way.)

LUCRICIA: They got Santi?

THEODORE:Lucricia! Yes! They murdered him. That awful Demetrios.

14.)

(Lucricia sits next to Theodore on the ground.)

LUCRICIA: You heard about what he did to Tomasz?

THEODORE: Yes, it’s awful. No respect for the game’s rules.

15.)

LUCRICIA: I never thought I’d say this, but you are the most sensible person I’ve seen tonight. Let’s talk.
