Annotated 16-13
First panel description: “Largish wide panel. Sitting beside a twisty, character-filled tree in the surrounding yard of the Guild Hall are Frigg and Gravedust, resting in the midday sun. Frigg lays on her back with her arms folded behind her head, lazily chewing on a piece of straw in her civvies in an almost Tom Sawyer-like fashion. Not a fuck to give, not a care in the world, the perfect nap-lie conditions besides her trusty Dwarf.
“Gravedust sits with his legs crossed as he scratches away on parchment, writing in his journal. It’s been a while since we saw it, it’s likely been a while since he had the time to sit and write so. He wears robes different from his usual attire, something more Gastonian-looking (and in his size), but still fitting his trademark modesty all the same. A guy can’t wear the same fucking robe every Goddamned day, can he?”
Unless he’s E-Merl. Or, well, most of our cast most of the time. Nice try, T, but occasional flashes of fashion sense were pretty much the best we could do.
Day 70? It seems like a lot of things have occurred in 70 days or am I applying an Earthly standard to time. Maybe Akkeran days are similar to seasons in Westeros.
Time flies when you’re having fun.
Or as they said in Schlock Mercenary, “Sometimes you have fun, and sometimes the fun has you.”
I read “Sitting beside a twisty, character-filled tree” in the annotations and like a moron, I scrolled back up to see all the characters I missed who were supposedly hiding amongst the leaves and branches.
“For the 10th day of Axemas, my love filled the tree with 10 goblins…”
Snark aside, I almost did the same.
I was saved by my native language. We use ‘personnage’ for PC/character, and ‘caractère’ for personality. So reading ‘character’ has a higher chance for me of sending me toward ‘personality’.
I feel the alt-text in a deep and spiritual way.
IKR?
Although, I wish my sister would talk more to me.
I love how E-Merl looks irritated at Gravey’s answer. Dude, you literally asked him to give you that answer.
The first panel was also used for another one of our Post Card images: “Rural Gostonia”, I believe.
nap-lie?
Maybe it’s when you pretend to be asleep? “To sleep fox” as it’s sometimes called in Sweden (because the fox is a trickster and all that).
