QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

The Transcript For This Page

Strip 29

Panel 1
Back at Babbette’s counter, her granddaughter walks up to her holding the Continental note Guy had given her.

B the younger: What the slush am I supposed to do with this, Gramma?

B the elder: Mind your language, honey.

Panel 2
Babbette the elder leans on her counter to peer down at her granddaughter.

B the elder: Anyway, I need you to go round up up the Rev’rend and Sam and Davey and Neil and have them meet me in the poker room, right away.

B the elder (2): I’ll pay you point-2 gold gram.

Panel 3
Looking over the elder’s shoulder at the younger Babbette. She’s in horse-trader mode.

B the younger: Point-5 gold. And you owe me for bringing those two Terries here.

B the elder: Point-three-five, and the usual bounty for 'Shanghaiing' those two 'sailors' for the boarding house. And I’ll give you point-04 for the Continental. Final offer.


Panel 4.
Babbette the younger 'walks' away from the counter, holding the note in front of her with new-found interest. (We see her coming towards us in the foreground-right with her grandmother in the background watching her.)

B the younger: Okay, three-five on the round-up, but I think I’ll keep this note.

B the younger (2): It looks funny. I think I’ll get it laminated and add it to my collection of wierdities.
