Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Re-stablish the scene: In the station galley, Reggie is perched on a barstool as Fantasy Fiorella stands nearby.

Reggie: There is still something we are overlooking.

Reggie: Have you, O Great and Mighty Oz of the subconscious, got anything for me?

Fiorella: Sort of...

Panel 2
Fiorella starts to move a way from Reggie, towards the open central part of the galley.

Fiorella: The subconscious mind is more about metaphor, symbolism, emotions, and impressions.

Fiorella: For some reason, I feel I need to show you this.

Panel 3
Fiorella doing a 'Wonder Woman' spin (c.f. 1980s television show)

No dialog

Panel 4
Fiorella stops spinning, is now clad in some sort of high priestess get-up. Her face has heavy make up, and mystic runes are painted on her arms, shoulders, upper chest, and exposed parts of her breasts (remember we have to keep this PG-13). Keep the background indistinct.

Fiorella: Huh. How cliché.


Panel 5
Scene shifts. Now they are in some sort of temple (a mix of ancient Greek, Roman styles). Fiorella is seated on a high-seated, 3-legged chair positioned over an opening in the floor. Whispy vapors are swirling out of the hole and around her feet. Reggie is also in the frame, standing a bit more than two meters from her, seen from behind.

Reggie: This all looks so familiar. I know I've been here before.

Panel 6
Medium shot of Reggie, thinking furiously. We can see bits of temple and swirling vapor in the background behind him.

Reggie: Clearly we're on Terra, somewhere in the Mediterranean region.

Reggie: So who are you supposed to be?

Panel 7
Medium close-up of Fiorella – from breasts to just above her eyes. A name-badge “sticker” has materialized on her left breast. (refer to the graphic in the short story doc).

No dialog.


Panel 8
Medium close-up of Reggie, his face lit up in an “aha” moment.

Reggie: Of course, that's it! Delphi!
