Pages 851 to 855

When we last left our heros, various problems were still being resolved, but one was just brewing...

  • Lee and the Artmoogle were trying to help Emily at the Town Square, with Natalie and Eli looking on. Rivelle and Hail are nearby.
  • Ann, having finished talking with the Duke (Albert), was cooking some tea for herself in her kitchen while talking to Rose. Steve slept on the couch nearby.
  • John-Luke, Likal and Jodi were at the Clinic, where A. Rescuer had just entered.
  • Daniel and Archie were heading to Squato's Ranch.
  • Jake and Jane are still at the TF store.
  • Lomgren and Sage are still at the Bookstore.
  • Bishop, Gil, Milla and Sapphire are at the Rex. (I think)
  • Injugo, the Artmoogle plot related character, was observing all the activity from the sky.

  • Eli asks questions like a curious child to the group around Emily.
  • Art is sad he couldn't help.
  • Natalie comforts Art.
  • Art sees Eli (whom looks like a giant version of Emily still) and freaks out for a moment.
  • Lee catches Art when he stumbles back.
  • Art hides behind Lee.
  • Lee asks Eli if he/she is related to Emily.
  • Natalie thinks Eli isn't related, a reason derived from a silly list of hindsight logistics by the author.

Clinic

  • Jodi hides in the back room of the Clinic from A. Rescuer, slightly afraid of the unusual creature.
  • John-Luke sneezes again and grumbles about it.

Ann's house

  • Steve wakes up from the smell of the special tea Ann is brewing in the kitchen and approaches.
  • Ann and Rose notice Steve. Ann explains to Rose why Steve is in her house (after being accused of philandering).
  • Steve pulls a 'KITTY!!!' moment and tries to hug Rose.
  • Rose and Ann flee to the hallway.
  • Steve ends up tackling a chair instead, breaks his nose, and calls out to Rose not to flee in a strange Feline tongue.
  • Rose understands Steve and after a minor, quiet discussion with Ann, returns to the kitchen.
  • Steve, still quite delirious, asked some confused questions to Rose(one being about seeking a medical herb).
  • Rose stalls with chitchat while sizing up Steve's condition.

Squato's Ranch

  • Archie and Daniel reach Squato's Ranch.


Page 852

Ann's house

  • Albert ponders over Ann's heritage as he walks towards the Town Square.
  • Steve is shocked that Rose speaks human and deducts she's from a hidden village he heard rumors about.
  • Rose reluctantly goes along with Steve's story.
  • Steve starts to ramble, his coordination waning.
  • Rose rushes to aid Steve in case he falls and calls to Ann to get medical supplies. Ann complies.
  • Steve starts losing consciousness.
  • Rose comforts Steve, agreeing with his incoherent babblings, while giving an impromptu repair to his broken nose.
  • Steve's nose is fixed, but is bleeding, he thanks Rose.
  • Rose looks for something to stem the flow when Ann returns with medical supplies. Rose mentions showering Steve since he's so dirty. Ann, distracted by the thought, puts the cottonballs meant for Steve's nose in his mouth.
  • Art (From Roan's house) runs into Ann's front door, bamfs through, and skids down the hall comically.
  • Ann snaps out of her thought-induced stupor and goes to see who just came in.

Clinic

  • John-Luke disassembles his diagram, preparing to leave the Clinic.
  • Likal responds to A. Rescuer with a declining quack.
  • People in the Clinic get a feeling of being watched again...
  • A. Rescuer assures Likal that he will help if it's needed, and looks about for anyone he hasn't met.
  • Jodi discreetly watches A. Rescuer from the back room, worried about Likal's safety around it.
  • A. Rescuer notices Jodi and approaches. Jodi responds to A. Rescuer with passive hostility, which A. Rescuer returns.
  • Jodi continues talking to A. Rescuer in half stand-off mode and gives him a sonar treatment to see what's under the fur.

Roan's house

  • Art goes with Lee (From town Square) and finds Ann's goo-covered remains. He quickly (and comically) flees to Ann's house with a trail of tears.
  • Lee tries to stop Art, but fails. He tells the others (Eli, with Natalie and Emily) to go to the Clinic and promptly chases after Art to Ann's house.

Town Square

  • Albert pings for interactivity.
  • John-Luke (from clinic) spots the flamingo and makes a leaping tackle at it, landing in the mud. Fail.
  • Lee agrees with Natalie that Eli isn't related to Emily and asks who (s)he is.
  • Lee sees all the armed people around the town Square (the town being on alert from waste creatures) and suggests the group move to Roan's house.


Page 853

Ann's house

  • Art see Ann and promptly hugs her leg, glad she wasn't horribly exploded.
  • Ann, still wearing (only) a skimpy housecoat, covers any potential view Art may have with her hands and tries to keep her composure while consoling him.
  • Rose continues tending to Steve.
  • Art snuggles Ann's leg while crying, going on about how he saw Ann exploded. He then jumps back from Ann upon realizing she was still alive, convinced he just hugged her evil twin.
  • Steve noms the cottonballs and asks for the recipe.
  • Lee (From Roan's house) enters, tells Ann to go have her tea upon seeing her, picks up and comforts Art, and asks Rose who her friend (Steve) is. Man that guy can multitask.
  • Art calms down, slightly humiliated at being treated like a plushie.
  • Rose realizes she doesn't know Steve's name.
  • Ann realizes that really is Art, not really recognizing him with the Roan-like changes.
  • Lee uses some healing magic to staunch Steve's bleeding and repair the damage.
  • Art greets Ann, confused.
  • Ann comments about Art's look, but is quickly (and subtly) silenced by Rose, returning to drinking her prescribed tea.
  • Steve thanks Lee for healing him, and curiously asks if he is a witch. Lee confirms Steve's curiosity.
  • Art is confused by Ann's statement, feels self-conscious, and tries to pull his non-existent hat down. (A very Roan-like action)
  • Sage suddenly arrives, asking for Art.
  • Art greets Sage, worried about how flustered he is.
  • Sage feigns contentness and asks Art to come to his tower, while subconsciously realizing he left Lomgren unattended.
  • Art glomps Sage at the potential for a party, realizing he's hungry.
  • Rose asks if she should come with Sage and Art.
  • Art hugs Rose for joining the 'party' at Sage's.
  • Injugo telepathically eggs Sage on by saying he has no idea how long Art has until he's stuck this way.

Bookstore

  • Lomgren is surprised the Bookstore emptied out so quickly. He tries to unshrink himself.

Clinic

  • The sonar reveals A. Rescuer is simply dense hair and a few golf-ball sized, less dense clumps. The sonar makes A. Rescuer meek and he apologizes, making for the door.
  • Jodi humbly apologizes for how she was acting and asks him to stay, deducting (mentally) that he must be jellyfish-like in structure.
  • A. Rescuer timidly asks for no more sonar blasts, having been hurt by it.
  • Jodi feels guilty for hurting A. Rescuer and asks his name, finding it a little cute.

Town Square

  • John-Luke joins the mob at the Town Square wielding a dog-catcher's net and searching the sky. Also sneezing.
  • Albert asks an old lady with a flamethrower what is going on.


Page 854

Ann's House

  • Lee offers to stay at Ann's house to help around there. Ann seems content with Lee staying and taking care of things.
  • Steve declares he wants to write a letter to his friend and asks for a stone slab and chisel bird to do so.
  • Ann stalls Steve's request, looking at Lee. Lee raises an eyebrow at Ann. The cue was missed.
  • Ann asks Lee if he has a pen and paper on-hand.
  • Lee grabs his sketchbook and a pencil from his backpack and hands them to Steve after some minor instruction on use.
  • Steve promptly begins engraving the sketchbook, using the pencil like a scalpel. He grumbles about how the paper falls apart so easily.

Clinic

  • A. Rescuer introduces himself as Andri Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser Rescuer the Third.
  • Jodi tries to remember the name and queries about how Andri talks. It is revealed that Jodi talks through vibrations and mimics the words with her mouth.
  • Andri formally greets Jodi and comments about her voice too, offering her to try out his hat (which is what permits him to speak normally instead of his natural 'meep's).

Roan's House

  • Eli heads towards the Clinic, constantly asking questions.

Town Square

  • The little old lady, of whom the Duke(Albert) asked what was going on, informs him that she knows nothing. She's just the streetcleaner. With a flamerthrower. Fwoosh.
  • The Duke queries the necessity of the power of her cleaning equipment. The little old lady informs him Gal-Zabor requires special street cleaners for special trash. Fwoosh.
  • The Duke asks tons of questions about Gal-Zabor waste ethics. And about how she got a flamethrower.
  • The little old lady laughs at the notion of Gal-Zabor having trash heaps and states magic trash usually needs to be fully removed.
  • John-Luke heads south from the town square after his Flamingo friend.
  • The mob in the town square would stare at Eli as he passes (from Roan's House to Clinic), as he resembles a waste monster.
  • Natalie vigorously screams at the mob. The mob is slightly riled by Natalie's aggression.
  • Natalie continues screaming at the mob about how the group she is with are people too, and how they wouldn't hurt anyone, despite her angry yelling. The mob starts yelling back for the 'creatures' to go back to the wastes.
  • Natalie's yelling finally falters when she suddenly gets an epiphany on why she is so protective of Emily; they are much alike.
  • A flamingo flies by Eli and John Luke bumps into him soon after, excusing himself (while extremely stuffed up). The mob is shocked by John-Luke touching Eli.
