TELO’S JOURNAL

Phido recovered quickly. He’s resilient that way. Makes a papa proud, really. But the all this… this… strangeness is starting to get to me. And I don’t even need to explain why somethings gonna need to give soon. I just hope it’s not me.

TRANSCRIPT

[The unnamed city looms in the background as Grim and Telo pause to talk. Grim tries to delicately ply Telo for his thoughts on the situation, this being their first moment alone since the vortex of light swallowed them up, but quickly switches to a direct approach.]

GRIM: Telo, have you noticed anything strange?

TELO: Well… besides our unrequested trip through some kind of vortex? Yeah…

TELO: That artifact. You saw me touch it again, but… that time there was nothing, and…

GRIM: No. What I mean is… Stan. Have you noticed anything strange with Stan?

TELO: I… What are you asking?

GRIM: I think… I think maybe HE did this.

8R4D’s Journal

You’ll excuse me while I cheat a little bit and recycle a bit of old art as I advance the story. I’ve got something of a major scene change (yes, they’re off to the emerald city there in the background) and that means a lot of new art in the next few weeks. The fewer times I need to adjust Telo’s eyes the better that soon-to-be-released new stuff is going to be. Fact.
