Season Ten Begins
Chapter: Season Ten
Characters: Brett
And here we go into Season Ten of the series.
I have some new things planned for this season with the art and the writing. I hope you enjoy things as they develop.
It is also time to start buttoning up a lot of the unanswered questions and plot threads that are out there. We will be getting back to what’s going on with Trevor and Lee as well, but I want to start closing up threads. Longtime readers have been patient and it is time for some payoff.
Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend.
- Blue – Brett (original message)
- Grey – Sam
- Red – Jeanie
- Purple – Trevor
- Aqua – Carlos
- Green – Charlie
Dallas has not joined the Karthun group yet.
Santa doesn’t look pleased.
Wonder if it’s awkward knowing your friends have been naughty?
Fa lala La, better him than the NS ah
Gotta admit, I was kinda hoping for a “No Context Theater”, but jumping straight into the next arc is fine, too.
Oh man Thor does a sick Brett cosplay.
how have i not noticed this before?
Brett = son of Santa ,Thor = son of Odin, Santa is partially based off of Odin –> Brett is Thor
if i remember correctly Both are germanic/northern european in origin, odin has 8 legged horse that can fly and santa has eight flying reindeer, during the wild hunt people would leave boots filled with treats outside for odin’s horse in order to appease odin, in northern europe santa leaves treats for the good kids in their boots, and finally the hunt and xmas occured around the winter solstice
Give it up for those awesome Pagan holy days. I admit I’m always a bit peeved how Christianity co-opted so many of them, but I guess I would be more upset if they just banned them outright instead.
They also turned old drinking and sailing songs into hymns
“The Dresden Files” by Jim Butcher actually brings that all up haha!
Have to wonder if “Santa” sense is kicking in
It’s a bit confusing, I thought Brett was texting with 1 person, not multiple. Could the boxes be coloured for clarity next time?
This, please.
Or better, little chat-avatar icons in the corner of each text box, indicating who’s talking.
It was in the original draft and when it came time to letter it… I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO CHANGE THE COLORS.
Long days were long. I changed the dialogue boxes now.
Thank you for the change, and don’t worry, shite happens
Colors are very nice, but I’m still a little confused on who’s who.
My guesses?
BLUE – ?
GREY – Sam
AQUA – ?
RED – ?
PURPLE – Trevor
Oh, and GREEN – Dallas?
Red is Jeanie
Blue: Brett (the original text)
Aqua: Carlos (since he’s working up at the pole too)
Red: Jeanie
Green: tossup between Charlie & Dallas. Use of speech to text implies Charlie, but identifying the misspellings makes me think sighted (and just using the voice option for convenience) which implies Dallas.
This hurts so much cause ive had this text chain a dozen times with my friends trying to arrange a game
A group I really, really liked playing with fell apart because of this. We didn’t even have to gather in the same physical location, we played via Roll20, and still …. the group died out entirely. :'(
I can’t figure out if Brett is just sad all his friends are busy.
Or is he annoyed because his friends are all busy, and he’s got to be so much busier then them all combined but he still finds time to game.
Or, if he’s feeling whistful they’re all doing ‘normal adult’ things, and he’s living in basicly an eternal childhood dream and he yearns for a ‘normal’ life.
I’m sure it’ll be some option 4 that Brian always surprises me with, but that look can say volumes, nice one!
I think running the North Pole toy operation involves a lot more “normal adult” work than Brett probably thought it would. That, and being the CEO of a regular company wouldn’t involve frequent problems with weird supernatural stuff.
Medium blue to start: Brett
Gray: Sam
Red: Jeannie
Purple: Trevor
Aqua: Carlos
Green: Charlie
“Adulthood. AMIRITE?” No kidding.
I played some computer games years ago. I don’t much now, not because I don’t think they’re any good, but because I can’t afford the time to get myself immersed in the way it takes to really play them.
My guess would be
Blue: Charlie
Gray: Sam
Red: Jeanie
Purple: Trevor
Aqua: Carlos
Green: Dallas
Interesting Art Note: When I’m scrolling past the second panel, the boxes, at least on my screen, are the right angle that the two conveyors kinda..wiggle back and forth if I move it up and down, like the boxes are actually in motion. Don’t think that was on purpose, or that it will work for anyone else, but I thought it neat.
I see it too
oooooooooooo
How does Charlie catch out his voice text errors? Does the software read it back?
Probably.
I love how his last message includes the phrase “voice to text is shift” XD
Yep!
Thanks for colour coding the boxes. It makes it easier.
Unfortunately my R/G colour blindness still makes it difficult.
The aqua and grey look identical, and I have trouble telling apart the red and green.
Not saying change the colours, as I guarantee that there is someone with a different type of c/b who would have trouble. But maybe in future you could use faces or symbols as tags?
Cheers.
I was trying to guess which color corresponded to each character. Very pleased to see my guesses were all right.
Also, I love how Trevor side-steps the question of who he’s going on a date with.
