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.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

The Transcript For This Page

Strip 22

Panel 1
Large panel, establishing shot of the café interior. We would be looking past the backs of Guy and Fiorella’s heads, perhaps at a slightly elevated angle. Six or eight tables, half of which have diners seated. Most of them ignore the two newcomers. To one side, a swinging door leading to the kitchen. To the other side, a glass door marked 'Water Bros. Office.' Near the center-rear, a cashier’s desk next to another glass door marked 'Rooms.' ( I recommend making this panel take up the left half of the strip, top-to-bottom, then stack the next two panels on the right side.)

Guy: *sigh* Here we go again…

Panel 2
Guy attempts another 'glide-walk' across the room to the cashier’s desk. He waves his arms awkwardly and bumps his toes against the ground, moving past the seated diners, who glance at him with some amusement.

Panel 3
Reaching the cashier’s desk, he has too much momentum. The cashier wordlessly holds out her palm across the desk to stop him. (Note: The cashier’s desk is counter-top high and its top has raised sides (about 8cm) around all the edges except for a meter-wide space where the cashier stands.)

Guy: Hoof!
