>Ithink Bishop's friendly smile from earlier made an impression!>The challenge for this page was taking dialogue from three previous pages, scrapping out bits and pieces, and pasting them together to present a relevant backstory for Bishop. This had to act not only as a recap, but as a substitute for Tedd's own thoughts, Jay's dialogue combined with the fantasy visuals meant to imply everything.>AND HEY, maybe I communicated what I wanted! I'll know soon enough!>As for why I didn't want any of Tedd's current thoughts—by which I mean words—it wasn't an idea I set out with. It's just when I tried to add any, it didn't feel like Tedd thinking. It felt like narration. So I used Jay's words as context, and stuck with the most incredibly subtle visuals for Tedd's thoughts.
>I rewrote this page the same day I made it because I decided I wanted to get to the mirror as quickly as possible, and this rewrite makes it the very next page instead of two pages away.>I nearly had "the intruders were greater seyunolus" under "what we know," which I think was fair. It's a very safe assumption for them to make under the circumstances.>ON THE OTHER HAND, who knows what all the heck paranormal investigators have had to deal with? Do seyunolu have a monopoly on those sort of antennae? Can anything imitate them? What if they're actually liquid metal? This is the sort of nonsense they actually have to consider in their line of work!>This also goes for the suspicion of there being a manipulative immortal involved. What Bishop is saying makes sense. Does that mean it has to be an immortal involved? No, not at all.>I mean, it totally is, they got it right, but there are probably other options out there.
>Tedd: "Is this all about wanting fancy dresses?">Elliot: "I'm also concerned with the wellbeing of society and individual freedom.">Hope: "But also fancy dresses.">Elliot: "My point is this isn't just about fancy dresses!"
>An incredible twist that no one could possibly see coming because I am the master of pretzel-based writing.>In that there are incredible twists, and not in that it's incomprehensible.>Can one really know a pretzel?
>I felt Prince Elliot would do something in this situation, but he was only allowed to do it if it was funny.>Once we've found out what the heck this was all about, y'all can be the judge as to whether he succeeded!>Me? No no, this is all on him.
