CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 5
(Transcript and visual captions below}

      It was only a few minutes until sunrise, and the vampires at Sleeptown scrambled and flailed mentally, trying to think of something to do, anything! Tristan tried to call Demetri several times, but he wouldn't pick up. He begged Vitus to try.
      "What do I even say?" Vitus wondered aloud, "I don't know what we can do... I guess we have to assume he's just been taken away somehow, there's not nearly enough ashes here for him to have-- Oh he's picking up!"

In which Theodore hangs up the 'do not disturb' sign.

     The darkened bedchamber was strongly musty, even to weakened dead senses. It smelled of moldering leaves and rotting cloth. The quilt was neatly arranged, but stiff with dark stains. Jack wondered if he was smelling blood on the dusty pillow, or if it was just his own scent. The building creaked and moaned and felt like it was shifting in its slumber. The window behind the heavy blinds was long broken, and he could hear the sounds of the outdoors, and smell the occasional scent of snow and ice. It was starkly cold but it did little other than make his body feel all the more dead, and the body next to him as well. Jack felt that if he could focus on these things, on the scent of mildew and the rustle of peeling wallpaper, that perhaps he could keep away the dreams... but his body wanted too badly to heal that gaping hole in his chest and he could only hold out for so long.

UGH WERST DAY EVER. This comic is pretty fun though. I really like this environment. I keep mentioning that, because it's true. I just really wanna wallow in beautiful abandoned buildings all the time. I love thinking of those guys sleeping on a filthy, moldy bed. They do it so we don't have to!

PS-- you have have seen the new Twitter widget on the sidebar over there. It's pretty cool. I'm going to try really hard to not whine about being late all the time, and try to be clever. As I've mentioned over there, we're planning a Halloween RPG on Horror Boys, and I'd like to invite you all to play! It's very simple, and if you've never roleplayed before, we can help you. The story is set in a 1980's suburban high school and will feature magical recreational drugs, demons, other assorted monsters and evil cults! You can drop in anytime or just observe, the game will start October 30th-- but if you sign up soon, we'll give you a special art prize. :)

ALSO TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMING UP OMG WHAT ARE YOU GONNA GET ME?? ARE YOU GONNA PUT A RING ON DIS YET???

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

1.)

(Demetri and Sombreta play a colorful board game. Angela looks mad irritated and Demetri talks on his cell phone.)

DEMETRI: You tell me to stay with Sombreta, now this?

2.)

(Demetri suddenly has dark circles under his eyes.)

DEMETRI: Ah yes, and there is the sun. I can’t look for him until dusk.

3.)

(Vitus looks at Tristan and Allison wearily.)

4.)

(Theodore wears an undershirt, and pulls the blinds closed in a dark room.)

THEODORE: You will find this night not nearly as difficult as the first you were dead.

5.)

(Theodore is in his underclothes, standing in the decaying bedroom. Jack is curled up on the bed in his underwear, torso still covered with bloody bandages.)

THEODORE: Did you know this is a room I used to sleep in? It’s been a century, how funny.

6.)

(Theodore sits on the bed, and puts a hand on Jack's shoulder.)

THEODORE: Remember, they are just dreams, nothing of significance. I’ll be with you.

7.)

(Jack is shellshocked, his hands on his face.)

8.)

(Theodore curls up behind Jack, putting an arm around him.)

THEODORE: I used to have nightmares too.

9.)

(Jack looks terrified, Theodore puts a comforting hand on his face.)

THEODORE: It’s okay. Go to sleep.

10.)

(Jack buries his face into a pillow as the two try to sleep.)

11.)

(Theodore has a dark look, as someone knocks on the door.)

12.)

(Theodore peeks out of the dark room.)

THEODORE: Yes?

13.)

(A tired Santi stands in front of the open window.)

SANTI: I hate to interrupt but... What are the plans for tonight? The others are getting impatient.

14.)

(Theodore is dismissive.)

THEODORE: I’m preoccupied for the moment. Perhaps you can take them out to explore the city.

15.)

(Santi looks put out.)

SANTI: I suppose.
