Wow. I’m so touched at how much you all love Felicity.
Thank you guys.
I won’t say what happens. Just that I’m thankful she means so much to you.
She is riddled with guilt. She doesn’t feel she deserves to get better.
What will happen?
Tune in tomorrow.
the next few weeks are pretty powerful I think.
Hope you do to.

Thanks again
Scott
I’m liking the direction – but I’m missing me some Nicodemus π
Well this is certainly going to be an interesting bedside conversation. Of course with the remarks made in this comic, maybe we won’t get around to Nicole for a while yet.
Augh… one page at a time… it’s killing me! π
Yeah I know Limax, I stumbled across the comic a couple of weeks back, read the 900 available pages now its like.. gahh i NEED the next one! π
you guys are so right. But what I find is awesome is that this is a very steadily updated comic, unlike some others. And Scott will give updates if, God forbid, he can’t update on time!
oh! and I really think Alex is going to say something to Felicity about Nicole…I feel it in my gut.
must find out why she thinks she guilty.
she already paid them back few times.
i hope she pulls through
See? Thursday already and we’re at This. Friday will be no better than Tuesday was my friends. π Prepare for a weekend short on sleep, heavy on concern for our feline friend. π
Hopefully knowing Nicole is still out there, concerned about her will snap her out of her funk. Pull through, Kitty-Kat!
Well, the way I remember it, they were pretty suspicious of her (even Dan, but especially Nastajia, though not Alex, IIRC, but only because he’s a bit naive) when she first joined them, but then she “proved herself” by stealing the amulet (though neither she nor Nicodemus knew what it was at the time) and several other ways, but then in the Dwarves’ cave Nic went and spilled the beans that she was, in fact, meant to be a spy and they were right to not trust her in the beginning. THEN he knocks her unconscious and that’s where we are now. So she wasn’t exactly “paying them back” because, until recently, they never knew she had planned to betray them.
EXCEPT, that somewhere along the way she started having second thoughts about spying for Nic, or maybe she was never actually planning to spy for him, and just used the opportunity to escape, but the fact remains that she did accept Nic’s deal, and in light of that revelation, she thinks it would cause Alex and the others to think that all her good deeds were only to “get on their good side,” which, strictly speaking, it was, but not for the motives she thinks they’re thinking she had.
And THAT’S why she feels guilty, because she’s afraid that all the trust she’s earned from them is now gone.
(Did that make any sense? Sometimes I just have these complex, abstract thoughts running around in my head, which always make perfect sense to meuntil I try to put them into words, which is why most of my internet posts are a bit wordy.)
Looking at Alex in the last panel, he seems to make the connection between her and Nicole. Or maybe I’m overestimating him. π He seems to have some idea in the least.
Good story,I like it!
i just wish scott would do more pages in a day than onepage a day, and im so happy that felicity will live
dont worry i believe she will
scott man make more pages aday please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, relax… It’s awesome to know you love Scott’s work as we do… But Scott already puts alot of pressure on himself to have kick-arse updates 5 days a week.
As Arvamas said, he’s one of the very few web comic artists that keeps steady updates with that kinda schedule.
Try to keep in mind Scott also has a couple of boys that love to play with their dad, and a very supportive wife who deserves a healthy slice of Scott’s time too.
With that said tho, it’s alright to want more… ~.^
Lot’s of us show Scott how much we love his work by voting for him using the Top Web Comics (TWC) button on the right, and buying his books (which have alot of cool behind the scene’s stuff you wont find online, and are DEFINITELY worth the price and then some!)
So if you seriously want more, then buy the books and other stuff Scott has available, but try not to pressure him too much when he’s already doing an awesome job, ok?
Thanks for understanding and being supportive of Dreamland mate! ^.^
~Prince Demitri
you do a great job scott. Thanks for all you hard work. and thanks to Donna for sharing you with us.
Scott never said she would live, just that he’s not saying what will happen. we’re all in the dark – We all want her to live but it might not work out that way.
Anyway I love how our reactions to this is the same as theirs.
I mentioned it before in a reply to an earlier post – I love how our reactions to this is the same as theirs.
YOU ARE EVIL IF YOU MISS NICODEMUS!!!!!
NOOOO!!!!! DON’T DIE!!!!!! LISTEN TO NASTAJIA!!!!! DON’T DIE!!!!!!! (jumps into comic)
Don’t forget it’s Nicodemus’ fault Felicity is hurt in the first place! grrrr π
alexandercarter i like your avatar! π
It might just be the lights but the way Alex looks in the last panel is… Like if he would think: “I wonder if…”
As i said before Felicity still doesn’t know that her child friend is (kinda) Alex’s neighbor.
Of course it might not help too much to some one in so much self guilt to tell them that the girl she used play with, turned out to be a religion denying, document wielding, know it all because they were parted.
We shall see. Until then: Don’t give up Felicity just a few more cliffhangers!
I know, I know, that was a bit off topic :-)… I am odd like that π
I’m damn sure its about Nicole, he’ll mention knowing her in person and have Nicole make a letter or something as proof and this in itself will give felicity more strenght to come out of this state to learn more and feel better about herself knowing her childhood friend is still there with her in some way or another.
a pack of skittles(I never bet with money :P) says daniel tells her that he knows nicole. she probably has some deep seated guilt about getting her friend in trouble and never being able to see her again. Go Dreamland go!
How positively painful to read, I feel as though Alexander will tell Felicity about Nicole and that may save her, however it is still hard to read this one page a day.
I will await until tomorrow then.
Have a wonderful day.
Oh…he’ll be back, my friend.
He’ll be back…
The hamster is running along the wheel….
Thank you.
Thanks guys.
And yes…as I mentioned yesterday, Alexandercarter…
I’m at max speed.
But thank you for enjoying the story so much.
Like I posted above…
You’re right. Alex is forming an idea…
Morning all!
Thrilled you’re enjoying this.
So thrilled.
π
Nicodemus you saucy b@—–!!! Actually he’s one of my favorite characters, pretty intense bad dude
Ohhhh, please don’t leave us with a major will-she-make-it or won’t-she-make-it moment tomorrow!! I think my head might pop off!! lol!
I’m not sure Felicity will accept any comfort from Nastajia. I don’t think Felicity will believe that Nastajia really means it deep down even if Nastajia really has come to accept her. Did that make sense? I know what I’m trying to say, but I’m not sure it’s coming out right. lol! . Like everyone else I hope Alex remembers to tell Felicity about Nicole!!!
SOMEBODY KISS HER! that always works in the stories >_<
I can’t tell you how tempted I am to reply with a picture of Nastajia trying that…ha ha.
But while I think it’d be a win for “fan service”…I’d lose in disrupting the all ages element of my story.
π
Scott, she could always kiss her on the forehead, kind of like how a mom does it when your sick.
don’t be so sure… have you seen the previews for Disney’s “the Princess and the Frog”?
Yeah Felicity, don’t punish yourself for betraying us. That’s OUR job, lol.
Well, we’d forgive her eventually.
I’m pretty sure that you could get away with a picture like that on deviArt or something. Last year’s Christmas page had Felicity groping Alex’s behind.
And if the author hadn’t hinted that it was a ‘thinking of an idea face” I was going to say that Alex kinda has that “the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round…” kinda face.
Darnit, I shoulda asked for THAT on my sketch card.
I forgave her back when Nick was explaining her role as a spy and she looked pretty desperate. http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/2008/08/18/page-730/ She lost her childhood BFF because of Nick so she doesn’t want to lose her new friends, or at least Alex.
Didn’t you do that yesterday? Or was that somebody else? … That room must be getting pretty crowded off screen. π
And my avatar works now! yay. Pales in comparison to Felicity’s danger, but I gotta take what I can get, you know?
I wonder … what happens if Alex wake up, give the necklace to Nicole and Nicole goes to sleep …
Will she get in dreamland next to felicity ?
hey scott in reply to your reply to my comment… i totally missed that discussion when it was first brought up (about the hair) so sorry about that XD lol
For alex…isn’t that the same look?
No worries.
I’m the one that needs to aplogize for not realizing how hair works…ha ha.
Guilt can be such a heavy burden… and forgiveness is one of the best gifts we can give each other, as well as ourselves… Wonderful life lessons in your comic, Scott.
please please let her die…
…if she has a miraculous clichΓ©d recovery this comic will lose so much potential
Felicity still has an imprtant role to play in my opinion. I think keeping her alive will make the story much more interesting.
DO NOT KILL THE KITTY-KAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really, Ordgar, the potential would be lost if she died
also, that would probably put everyone else into a state of depression.
Also, if Felicity dies, then Nicole’s character becomes almost trite. Felicity is Nicole’s connection to Dreamland, and, I hope, what will eventually bring her there.
I really hope Felicity pulls through this. She is easily my favorite character of the series. And as much as I’d love to see Alex awaken her with a kiss, I’m pretty sure it won’t happen. I think the mention of Nicole might help, but it could also push her further into guilt if she believes she has betrayed their friendship as well. I’m so emotionally drawn into this comic…. A testament to your abilities Mr. Sava.
Still trying to figure out weather that idea will be played out there in the tent. Maybe Alex will have some sort of moment asking Orion to wake him so he can get some sort of last words from nicole type of thing. “but kindof confused on the time lapse that most of the time he comes back within 15 min even when he didn’t wear the necklace for a day, but somewhat randomly it can be hour(s) lapses inbetween nap sessions’ not sure if im totally accurate. But Eh! We will see within the coming pages.
Felicity can’t die for that reason. The connexion with her has been Nicole’s biggest character development, and killing her off would put Nicole back to square one, which is utterly pointless.
Ordgar, how could you? It’s like making Dan secretly be Nicodemus, Anime storyline like. No Felicity you can pull though it!!! At least we know that Alex “just” went to sleep so it won’t be like “Oops I’m waking up. We’ll find out in two months where Felicity dies or not.” Scott, please just tell me already!!!!
Guilt is heavier than a mountain
Death is lighter than a feather
To mertilize on old saying. π
Nuuu, Felicity D’:
As for the kissing thing everyone’s been talking about: It should be someone really random and unexpected.
This is my first posting..i think…but i love this comic…..the storyline is fantastic….this summer i was dying not being able to read it (stupid army basic training)…..i’m glad it’s still going strong…..can’t wait to see what’s next
I don’t know why, but to me it looks like Alex’s eyebrows are stuck in that position. And they’re too dark or something. It could be the lighting messing with the color, but his eyebrows don’t seem to move at all and I always think he’s a bit more expressive. It’s like they don’t really match the last panel… it feels like more of a “What the…” than the “Hmm…” that I think should be there. It could just be me because I think expressions are the most important part of a face, but it’s kinda nagging at me now.
Well, either way, good comic, and keep it up. If I could, I would buy the comics to carry around for when the internet is down, but I don’t have a credit card juuust yet. π
Go, little hamster! Get those silly wheels in Alex’s head turning! XD
Please, for the sake of others, be quiet. π
Welcome…and thanks!
Oh, my gosh, how can you be so awful! Felicity needs to forgive herself and get better. What do you think it would do to Nicole if something were to happen to her just after she remembers the truth?
Those flashbacks to Nicole and Felicity’s friendship were the most painful webcomic pages i’ve ever forced myself to sit through…
Seriously i nearly vomited at one point.
Why would Felicity, after most of her adult life as a spy for the big bad evil dragon king, suddenly repent and become a good guy, after a few days of travelling with some total strangers. Also, Nicole? maybe her grief at never being able to speak with her little catgirl friend will spur her into making a difference in dreamland.
No burning out!!! Like I told you at Comic-Con, you do as much as YOU feel you can. We all saw what balancing act you tried to accomplish prior to your injury. So, family comes first and even though we are all your extended family we are MORE than willing to sit and enjoy the suspense. Enjoy the family and the succeses you have attained ~you earned them.
Ok, getting off soap box.
~Maxx~
Donna,
Feel free to thump Scott if he starts getting spun up about doing more that he should.
Brindy also says she will help you if he decides to get lippy. don’t forget Scott my wife is 6’3″.
It’s interesting to see how far Nastajia has come in her attitude towards Felicity. As if now that Nicodemus has revealed Felicity as a spy, she no longer suspects her at all.
Ordgar, perhaps because Nicodemus was forcing her to be a spy? She never had her heart in it, and now the guilt is (literally) killing her?
I do think that Nicole will make a difference in Dreamland, so you’re right there, I hope.
good. theyre far too happy as it is!
Actually he did say she would live, in the comments on the previous page.
Of course, he was being blackmailed with Jukebox advice at the time …
π
Actually, LW, I think you summed that up pretty well. And since I’m still on my way through the archives, this is all still pretty fresh to me (more so than those who’ve toiled through it at a page a day, anyway) …
π
(P.S. no, that was not a negative comment on Scott’s update rate! I am not “alexandercarter”, and I am amazed at Scott’s prolific rate … )
Orion: “Her spirit appears to be in great turmoil.”
Alex: “Wake me up, Orion! I’ll nip back to Earth for some prozac!”
It’s killing Felicity more.
Five a week is more than most webcomic artist types do. About the only ones who do more are the every-day folk and… Andrew Hussie (whose humanity is questionable).
Why so impatient?
