QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
A booth at the Water Bros. Cafe. Fiorella and Guy, engaged in conversation.

Fiorella: So how are you getting along here?

Guy: Very well. I'm now the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Panel 2
Fiorella looks stunned. He smiles and holds up a reassuring hand.

Guy: A joke. I'm Reggie's accountant. And I'm doing work for some of the other merchants here as well.

Guy (2): And you?

Panel 3
Focus on Fiorella, looking a bit uncomfortable.

Fiorella: I – I'm having a lot of fun. Captain Doris has become a good friend, and, well, I'll be working with her for quite some time.


Panel 4
Side view of Fiorella and Guy. They each have extended a hand forward, Guy clasps hers in his (this is not a handshake, more a show of affection). She looks apologetic, he smiles bravely.

Fiorella: Sorry if this isn't quite the reunion you hoped for.

Guy: No, but it is good to know you are happy.
