Tales from…When the Masking Slips!

Health tech doing my appt check in:
β€œDo you feel safe at home?”

Me, without thought or pause:
β€œI don’t feel safe anywhere.”

*brief pause*

β€œSorry. I live alone and yes I feel safe at home.”

When August Met Christine (Part 3/4) - Gator Days

Characters

August - Alligator - A single guy working in IT at a tech start up. Has a lot of trouble talking to people.

Christine - Alligator - Just moved into town and is trying to meet people.

Transcript

Panel 1

Christine has just met August at a party and she's doing her best to get a conversation going. August is shy and awkward and is petting someone's pet dog to help calm his nerves. Little does he know that Christine likes shy and awkward guys.

Christine: So most people here are students or in tech.

August: I'm in tech. I do IT for a startup.

Panel 2

Christine thinks that's cool.

Christine: THAT'S AWESOME! On the cutting edge of technology! Must be wild.

The dog has determined that his work here is done. He has full confidence that August can take it from here. He takes off to help other introverted people who might be at this party. Truly, he is a hero.

Panel 3

August looks away and tries to think of what to say next.

August (thinking): This is going well. I should say something interesting.

August searches deep inside his brain to find something interesting about himself to mention. There's a lot of random video game trivia in there.

Panel 4

August spouts the first thing that comes into his mind.

August: I own three blenders.

Christine: Really? Why?

August: I don't know.

Christine finds this mysterious and intriguing.

Three small creatures, looking like humanoid Aye-ayes. They wear grey and mustard colored clothes. The one in the middle hold a gun, the other two are at their right and left, looking at the gun. They all look surprised and amazed at the gun.

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--"

PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" 

PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

A scan of the box artwork for Sorcerian Forever, with a photo of painted figurines of an adventuring party gathered in a 3D model dungeon/ruin with a stone staircase curving up and around,, and the party of a kneeling bearded guy with a staff, an elven lass with purple hair and showing a bit of leg by a glowing light, another green haired elf with their hands cupped by the magical wand-light, and a tall armoured warrior with a greatsword over hiis shoulder. It's very much like something you'd see for a  D&D diorama display.

Ten years later... The Legend is Reborn.

I loooove this figurine dungeon diorama box cover for Sorcerian Forever (1997), sequel to the original popular Japanese CRPG that was the fifth game of the Dragon Slayer series.
