Hey all…
So glad you’re enjoying the story. And I’ve ordered my iphone skins.
I’ll let you know when I get them in. And if they’re as cool as they look on the website.
Also…a BIG thank you to Kevin from Sunnyvale, CA for the awesome X-Men Omnibus!
SO COOL!
I hope you don’t mind if I draw some X-Men on some of the sketchcards I send you.
🙂
You guys are incredible. Thank you again for all of the support.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
hurry up! cat-girl dying while you hem and haw Nicole!
Gaaaaaaaaah! Suspense….too….much!!!!! *Explodes*
OH mayn, here it comes.
“Dear Felicity,
Thank you very much for being my meat-shield back when I was young. Now I have grown up to be a psychologist that denies every fiber of your being, as well as everything around you.
Your friend,
Nicole
P.S. I would’ve woken up in time to, you know, not get hurt by that huge dragon thing? Maybe? Just a little?”
AND THEN FELICITY IS SAVE’D’D. 8D
And kudos to Kevin for being so generous. O:
Felicity didn’t have a get out of jail free card and had to wait three turns.
Woah… come on, Nicole, save the tiger girl!
Allright! Now we can speculate on Nicole’s letter and show off her wonderful (*cough*) bedside manner:
“Dear Felicity,
Here’s what Sigmund Freud has to say about you.
‘ When the pre-pubescent female id begins to form the egalitarian scaffolding of non-transcendental trauma avoidance, hallucinogenic animorphic non-entities are a common though undesirable side effect. Their passive nature betrays the non-sensical whimsy of the underdeveloped proto-ego. ‘
Isn’t Freud just great? Why don’t you read up on Carl Jung and write back?
Ciao, girlfriend!”
Or in the slightly out of left field department:
“Dear Felicity,
I need your professional advise on something. I want to come see you but I’ll need to swipe Alex’s necklace to do it. So, slight of hand? Distraction? Just knock him out? I hate to admit it, but I haven’t stolen anything more imporant than a cookie since I stopped coming to Dreamland (yeah, I was never a great apprentice).
I know this is kind of awkward with Alex passing notes back and forth between us so we can plot this and all. But at least in the waking world, girls kind of use guys this way all the time. I think they come to expect it, really! Better than being ignored by the girls, right?
Your pal in crime,
Nicole”
One question: Can Felicity read?
I laughed when I read this one.
I suspect her note would be more to the effect of:
“Dear [Felicity’s nickname that only Nicole knows],
“I’m sorry I stopped coming to Dreamland. After escaping from the dragon, I was too scared to go back. As I grew up I convinced myself that Dreamland didn’t exist to handle my fear.
“In the past few weeks Alex has convinced me that Dreamland is real, that you are real and that you are in danger. I wish I knew how to get back to Dreamland to catch up with you and tell you all about my new life but…I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.
“[signed using the nickname that Felicity knew her by]”
I don’t know what they call each other, but I like to think of them as Fel and Nic.
ROFLMAO! This is great fun! ^.^
Alex had a pretty insightful point, one that lends credibility to his role as the central hero of the story. I hope he has success with this as it would give him a greater stature on both sides of the dream.
Well it certainly looks like tomorrow will be yet another weekend cliffhanger…
JakesDad, your letters are a hoot! You never told us you were an evil genius. =)
Scott, I got the sketch cards. Excellent stuff, guy! Thanks!
Oh no! There’s going to be a cliffhanger, isn’t there?!
Nicole’s nickname for Felicity is “Fuzzy Bum”
Felicity’s nickname for Nicole is “Fumble Fingers”
I am LOVIN’ IT !!!!
Since Felicity never named Nicole to Alex (they figured it out from the other end of things) then just knowing she had a childhood friend named Nicole would probably be enough, eh?
great lighting Scott! I’m enjoying your creativity with the low light sources
Thanks guys!
Anyone watch NCIS? Nicole’s about due for one of Gibbs patented ‘slap upside the back of the head’ to wake her up, I think.
I think Alex is going to freak on her if she doesn’t consent to helping Felicity ASAP.
If not, someone can read to her.
I suspect that, as she’s a thief, Felicity would be wary of anybody who didn’t know her nickname (and couldn’t verify them with their nickname) because real names can be found in official documents. On the other hand if the nicknames are in official documents then it’s best to use real names.
I suspect that his biggest battle is, not fighting their enemies, but learning to be responsible.
HA ha!
Love it.
Hey Scott, great work as always. 🙂 Love the expressions. I just wanted to point out, though, that the pendant on Alex’s necklace looks off, like it’s defying gravity because it’s not at the lowest point in the chain. And /agree with sco3tt… Gibbs smack for sure!
go back you silly, irritant, mad girl!!!! GO BACK!!!!!!
The real question is…
Can she read WHILE IN A COMA??? O:
Actually, this will be Nicole’s Note:
“Hey, Girlfriend!
I hear you think Alex is kind of cute. Well, let me tell you, he has nothing on his brother (older brother, I might add) Dan.
You want to talk cute butts? I just LOVE watching him him moving away. Especially after I give it a quick kick! And that geeky smile of his? Fantastic. Tousling his hair? Glasses getting all crooked? The boy knocks me out!
So when are you going to make your move on our Messenger Boy? Let’s get our double date action going on sooner rather than later, Fuzzy Bum.
‘Don’t make me wait. We both need a date.’
Out.”
Love the whole feel of this scene. The dialogue and setting seem to work very well, together.
Yeah. Stupid thing wouldn’t move down for me. Sigh.
See previous reply…
LOL :D!
Come on Nicole! Forget logic and just write the note!!!
gah! she just doesn’t get it! -headdesk-
come on nicole!! -shakes her-
LOL!!!!!!
@Zarkanof: my thoughts exactly.
@Tom and bmonk: also my thoughts. They’d need to read it to her!
I wear a cross on a chain about that long and it frequently gets caught slightly to one side instead of hanging straight down…in fact it is listing to the right at this very moment, caught on a fold in my shirt. Um, I’m not sure how much my being a girl effects this, though….
Looking at this, I think Nicole is having a really hard time making that final leap of faith. Okay, she’s admitted to knowing Felicity as a kid…
“but to write that note is to believe once again”
in Dreamland – which science can’t explain
To reach beyond the safe and the known
Or is the faith of a child something outgrown?
We are who we are because of where we have been
So turn back the clock to go forward again.”
Just a BIT more than it affects us guys….ha ha.
But I guess it is a common occurrence with chains either way.
Nicole sure is making a good impersonation of Alex saying “So?” all the time and getting it already XD
And btw hilarious letters Jakesdad! I’m all for the older bro myself! 😉
You are a twisted individual. 😉
Oh, and Fransisco: you forgot the SMOOCHIES!
Hmm, I wonder …
This is a test: :kiss:
😉
Nope. That one doesn’t translate into a smiley …
