I heard that Kazerad was on some podcast or something earlier today. Anyone hear that? Apparently on Wednesday it will be posted here: http://www.webcastbeacon.com/category/webcomic-beacon/ edit: MikeJF posted:That can't be right. She has to deliver the package to Quill-Weave. Maybe she can just do that when she's a CHIM-realizing BAMF player character who has to deal with Quill-Weave's dispute with her neighbor about her pets.

I just finished reading the entire series up to where it is now. I'm really enjoying it. Of course now I'm at the point where I actually have to WAIT to get to the next part. How quickly does Prequel typically update?

How quickly does Prequel typically update? Erratically, especially lately. Kaz sometimes goes for weeks without an update, especially when he's doing animation work or those mini-games. On the other hand, in the Good Times, you can get two or three updates a week. Never quicker than that though, at least in my experience.

So, what do you guyd think that that flash of light was? Do you think that was lightning signaling the start of rain, or the orphanage signaling the start of the invasion?

Knowing the way this is going, probably going to be rain. Which will dissolve what's left of Katia's paint underpants. And dignity. And she'll probably catch a cold.

Well... darn. I assumed Katia could just march right back in there and demand her stuff back but... forcefield door. Nah's still around so I'm guessing she'll get over Katia's hurtful comments and help her. I'm not giving up on Katia the Courier yet.

Like, in his dreams he's pushed into a small, dark room with a Cat. There’s no way out. No one to help you. And she just stands there, being a Cat. But sure why not.

I'm gonna go chill with my cat, who is being a cat right now.

We have now reached the "wallowing in misery" phase of the Katia Manegan disaster-cycle. Prepare for a couple more updates of tears and collapsing on to the ground and curling up into a ball of shame and failing to make eye contact with people while she explains her latest sort-of-her-fault-but-also-not incident. Most stories can cut away from these darkest of moments and cleanse the pallet then come back when the character's ready to do something again, but we're going to have to watch the whole emotional grind of the thing.

I would be more inclined to agree with the circle thing if there was any visible progress being made. Katia gets a little farther along each time, but right now that's more due to the goodwill of others (Asotil demanding she practice her magic, people at the church giving her clothes). Has Katia as a character really changed that much since we started the story? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if in an update or two (after we get past the "feeling sorry for herself and trying to figure out what to do next" stage) Katia just goes and gets drunk again.

Huh, if the oblivion gate shows up that means Katia isn't the main character, so that fire must be something else.

You might be jumping the gun. Katia didn't give up right away when she realized Sigrid took her stuff. She threw fireballs and clawed the drat door until her fingers bled. And the night isn't over yet. What Katia does next will show how repetitive the story is and whether Katia has grown as a character, even if just a little bit. Will she jump in the bottle or at least have the courage to fall asleep sober and wallow in her misery? We'll see.
