Strip 707 -- First Seen: 2011-05-20
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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

Panel 1
Establishing the scene at Cirque du Sexe. We see the main stage from ¾ behind, with the house lights mostly back-lighting the nude performers, who have extraordinarily beautiful physiques. On stage right now is a combination tumbling, gymnastic and high-wire act with performers doing amazing sexual things on swings, parallel bars, giant rolling balls, etc. In the center are six Chinese contortionists on a raised circular platform, doing even more amazing things. Use the back-lighting and careful poses to obscure genitalia. Beyond the performers we can see the audience in arena-style seating.
Caption: The show at Cirque du Sexe was one sexual fantasy after another.

Panel 2
Cut to R & B in their seats, with a few other patrons in view, all looking both astounded and a bit aroused.
Reggie: Oh … my … god.

Panel 3
Closer-in shot of Reggie and Babbette. Babbette is glancing over at Reggie.
Reggie: I have always wanted to see a contortionist to that!
Reggie: Hell, I have always wanted to do that with a contortionist.

Panel 4
Babbette looks lovingly at Reggie and pats his hand. Reggie is beaming.
Babbette: My love, I would bend over backwards for you … literally.
Babbette: I'll put contortionist flexibility as the first order of business for my next rejuv upgrade.

Panel 5
Different angled shot on Babbette and Reggie.
Babbette: But you'll have your acrobat experience sooner than that.
Babbette: Most of the entertainers are available for VIP services – and who is more VIP than the King of Ceres?

Panel 6
Cut to the VIP party suite. Reggie and Babbette are sitting together on a broad leather love-seat, drinks on a mahogany dining table before them. In the foreground we see bits of the Chinese contortionists, two women and one man – arms here, legs there, maybe an upper torso and head sticking into the panel from the top and one side. We can also see a bit of the cushioned platform they're performing on. The interesting part of they're doing is mostly out of the panel. R & B look on appreciatively.
Reggie: You are the best wife in the universe. Why didn't I chase you long before this?
Babbette: You're kinda slow, I guess. But still lovable. I think I'll keep you.

Panel 7
R & B are now joining in with the Chinese contortionists. Use shadows and poses to hide the danger zones. The contortionists are, well, contorting, R & B doing the best they can – we can see their faces in profile, lit up in erotic joy.
Caption: It was a memorable evening of glorious excess.
Caption: The party lasted all night and only broke off when they had to leave to catch their flight to Venus.
