This is Andy. Also me. (drew this today as my new social borg site picture for the duration of le Tour) (I’m not sure where the picture is from because I saved it randomly off the internet a year ago)

Flaria: And now, time for some music!
Flairé: Yeah!
Flairé: And I’ll need my pipe, and my… whistle? and those drums, and the guitar…
Flaria: wouldja shut up for two seconds together?
Ever get the feeling they’re siblings? LOL. So yeah, now they’re going to play some music. Not much else to say. Except that for some reason when I was inking my hand was sliding all over the place so there are some weird smudges everywhere and I’m not really happy with anyone’s face except for Flairé and Leslie’s in the bottom panel. And Flairé’s supposed to have a stool, but I forgot to draw it. Oh well. He’ll have one on Wednesday. Also, this page has answered a question that many people - me - were asking about Deerfleet - does Deerfleet have pants? The answer seems to be YES HE DOES. Mystery solved!
Omigosh, only two more pages left! These last days have just whizzed by. I’ll be done soon! And then I shall start doing other things, like Sculpey and learning how to draw. Wowee.
Also I am totally in love with FFIV. I listened to its music for about three hours last night while messing around with Zazzle. I now have three Zazzle shirts, and I’m going to add more… I’m going to add one of the site logo. I’m also going to put the site logo as buttons and things, as I’m going to do a more circular version. That means repainting the silver, though. But I have a tablet! This shall be easier than last time!
Actually I feel like doing some fanfiction. So after I write a bunch of paragraphs on Dave Hume I shall play some FE8.
In other news, we have lost our dear, beloved conductor Janos Sandor, who just retired from 15 years of conducting the UVic and GVYO orchestras. He died of cancer on Friday. He was always cheerful and upbeat, and an amazing musician. Everyone loved him. We will miss him terribly.

Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.
Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)
Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.
Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.
Jen: That’s right!
Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.
So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.
Hey, I’m in a guild in Guild Wars! This is pretty exciting news. I was going to try and find the Wayrifters, but this other group found me first. : P They’re a pretty friendly bunch, especially the kind lv20 Elementalist who recruited me. I was playing Zela, who had just gotten to Post-Searing Ascalon, and I’d done maybe two quests and was regrouping at the Abbey/Sanitorium place when this guy just walked up to me and started talking to me. Heh. I took some convincing, too. I was going to make a guild for the Adhemlenei, if I didn’t join the Wayrifters (which I would have done), but who would join it? My poor brother has a guild of one. Go join his guild, all you nice rp-ing people who don’t have a guild yet! …I don’t remember the name of it, sorry. So, the upshot is that now all my chars have a cloak in black with crimson flames along the bottom edge and a silver phoenix spread across the back. Oh yeah, so after some hanging out with the elementalist and his warrior friend, the elementalist and I went for a walk up to Piken Square. I have to say it’s pretty easy to get around with three level 20s (he brought his heroes). I’m not sure how good it is for stat growth, but it’s very nice of these people to help me level and explore despite their having done it probably dozens of times before.
Will post screens later in the week. I have to get ready for Philosophy class now!

Flaria: Hooray! You’re back safely!
Flairé: Yes, indeed we are, sister! Do you have food?
Flaria: Oh, Flairé, just look at these rips and tears… Do you know how long it will take me to fix that?
Flairé: But it’s only four! I can do it myself! D X
Leslie: I’m so relieved, Jen.
Flaria: You won’t do it right! (shoves Flairé towards the door) (Jalril: Master…)
Jen: That’s good! It’s pretty darn cool to see you here, Leslie!
Leslie: Yeah, I’m still confused about that too.
Jen: Hey, over here! You too, Jal.
Leslie: I just went to sleep in a practice room and then I woke up in a forest.
Jen: Huh. I get here when I’m asleep too, but I’m not usually in a practice room. (Flaria: Hi, Jalril! <3 )
Eee! It’s a page! The wrapping-up begins! Flairé and Flaria fight about mending chores in the background while Leslie and Jen talk about more important things. And Jalril worries over his teacher, but in the end, follows Jen who is leading them to some good smells… No, it’s not a trap.
Lots of performing yesterday! I played Bédard’s Quatre Pieces en forme de Messe with my brother page turning, and I couldn’t have done it without him. It went pretty well considering I only started seriously learning the first and last movements last week. And as for the Roberto/Mary Wood Scholarship competition, well, I didn’t win, but I played really well and I think I came in second but I’m not sure because they could have announced the not-winners in any order. Anyway it was pretty suspenseful because they announced the winner last and my name was called second last.
So… now I have to start practicing the rest of the Beethoven, and lots and lots of organ. And I do that for two and a half weeks, and then I go to Provincials, and then I go to Ontario, and then I come home and learn lots of organ music and then finally start work on my fourth year rep. I don’t really feel like learning my fourth year rep. I’m afraid of it. But not really. I just don’t want to put the effort in to learning new stuff. Except for organ stuff, which I already know how it goes and I already love it. I am… maybe… emotionally involved in my old stuff I find it tiresome to disengage and redeposit emotional energy into new stuff? I dunno.
But I am going to be playing lots of Guild Wars. If anyone wants to play with me, comment! I have one free character slot so if you’re a total beginner or want to make a new character I shall make one too and play with you! Or if you want to play with Flairé, he’s at the Aurora Glade mission. But romping around the countryside can be fun too.
Wednesday’s page is inked! Next week’s page is being sketched! I’m actually getting ahead! I’d like to get done soon so I can look at new projects. Like the Sculpey figure project. Ooh, I’m looking forward to that one.

Jalril is waiting beside a glorified hole in the ground in a swamp.
Jen: Jalril! You’re still here!
Jalril: I am. You are unhurt, all of you?
Flairé: Never better. Let’s get away from here, though.
They ride off into relatively blue skies, if not sunshine.
What, you expect SUNSHINE in the Pacific Northwest? Fat chance! lol, actually it was pretty sunny out yesterday. I should know. I went shopping all over town. I bought Philosophy textbooks, and then I went downtown and bought two new pairs of jeans because my old ones have weird waistlines and strange rub marks in odd places, like the inside of the knees, and then I bought the Oracle of Seasons/Ages manga (don’t tell my bro) and then I bought some organ music (expensive Vierne ftw!) and then I bought Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon so that I won’t have to (make anyone) go to a huge hassle to get it for me.
…But this isn’t about the comic, which is what YOU want to hear about, right? And WHY IT’S EARLY OMIGOSH. Well, at the beginning of June, I’m going to Ottawa to see the extended family, including a brand new cousin. So I figured I should up the schedule to twice a week. The second page of the week will come when it’s finished. …I know, I know, I could just use the auto-uploader. But I’d still have to FINISH the pages early. …I’m really good at getting sidetracked, aren’t I.
I hope I never have to draw swamps again. Or forest roads. I’m soooo bad at them and they just annoy me. The hillside was supposed to be lush and green but I fell into the same kind of mistake that I make with my mini bases and made it mostly dirt instead. Blah. But isn’t Deerfleet cute? I adore Deerfleet. He’s just a kid.
Piano/organ practice time!!
P.S. I also want to buy SSBB and Sims 3, but they weren’t at either of the stores I checked. I hope they haven’t run out of Brawl. That would be a tragedy.
