Chapter #68 Preview

I thought I might throw this little scene out there for those still waiting for the next chapter. It should make up for the break by being quite extensive! This isn’t the Final Final Draft version, BTW – still got one more revision to go!

***

Theseus looked at Lyra, whose face was as screwed up in confusion as his was. “What the hell is that creep talking about? Is he on drugs or something?”

“Don’t you listen ta anything, Armstrong? He ain’t probably been to our world before. Probably thinks we’ll believe everything he says, ’cause he thinks we ain’t got much clue about the world,”

“Man, even I’m not that stupid!”

“Ye don’t be realising how up their own arses some of these faerie-types are. Some of ‘em be thinking we’re nothing more than a bunch of monkeys they can play games with,”

Why did this Adonis guy keep ticking all the wrong boxes? It were as if he was everything Theseus hated made incarnate: vain, egotistical, arrogant – it was like fate wanted him to lose his cool. He flexed his gloved fingers and snarled at the thought of an intangible enemy.

“At least this proves that creep ain’t a good guy – not that I ever thought he was – which means we have an excuse to go pummel the shit outta him,”

Lyra studied her own glove, its flimsy cotton and twisted braids the opposite of Theseus’s tough leather and studs. “As much as I want te be agreeing with ye, Armstrong, we ain’t gonna be able to do that ’til we got everyone outta that delusion of his. Unless ye be wanting an army of fangirls to claw ye to pieces,”

Theseus pressed his finger to his ear as John’s voice gave more instructions to Andromeda, and soon after her voice cut off Adonis’s droning to roast him with some more specific, but unrelated questions. How that was going to help anyone, he didn’t know, but if anyone could oust a rat it was Annie.

    I’ve been waiting for a hint of some solution for a while to this slight problem with good Mr Adonis :D

    On a more practical note – I’ve been wandering for a long time about the Support page and Paypal transactions. I am probably missing something as I am not using Paypal regularily. Regardless I haven’t still been able to figure out with full confidence, where to set the target of transaction, should it happen that I wanted to forward some virtual tokens of goodwill towards Phantasias, Fayes and others cause. I’m guessing that using e-mail address is sufficient, but I’m not feeling secure enough thinking that. Maybe it’s just me, but then again, maybe others are confused similarly?

    Best wishes,
    Jones

September rolls around…

September 1, 2010

It won’t be long now before the story starts up again! Whether in weekly, or twice-weekly form I still don’t know. I’m waiting for a delivery on some Genuine Mangaka Brushes for doing the illustrated scenes with (the brush pen just wasn’t working out!), and there should be several of these coming up! Hopefully not [...]

What could have been…

August 29, 2010
I’ve spent a few days away, because I was called up to audition for Deal or No Deal. Seriously. Obviously I didn’t get through – they like old ladies, struggling everymen and pretty young girls wanting to get married, not an eccentric who, in the words of one woman there, “looks like Russel Brand” (I [...] 1 Comment »

Titania is a ditz

August 24, 2010

I’m enjoying writing about Titania so much, it looks like I’ll be getting several chapters out of her now! If you enjoyed the first two chapters, where it was all faeries and magical islands, you’ll be liking what’s coming up. It also contains a few references to events that will be covered in the expanded [...]

Why a hiatus is a good thing…

August 22, 2010

Here I am, keeping you up-to-date on recent Phantasia-based happenings! The break has proven to be a blessing, leading to some stuff I would’ve have written otherwise – mainly a chapter or two dedicated to Princess Titania in the form of some flashbacks, which will help clear up any confusion over why Awyr seems to [...]
