One. A woman with short black hair in a black shirt and a cord necklace is driving late at night.
Hayden pulls card zero, the Fool, and gives hammy annoyed grin to the camera. Hayden: whatever you guys set that up Reader: I assure you the cards have not been tampered with Hayden: OK, so thats my fool ass prancing off a cliff Reader: Oh there are much scarier cards you could have pulled Kallan and Alaine are inside a restaurant with round hanging lanterns and globe lights looking at menus Alaine: Hmm..what are you getting? Kallan: Uhh...maybe the tuna melt. Alaine: Hmm...
Doctor Wode continues to dream of the necklace changing hands in reverse to a Amazigh merchant, to a man in a toga and seashell crown, to a dark figure in shadow. A being with a mask like winged face and three or more visible wings hands a round jewel to a character wearing a simple mantilla and a tight full body covering resembling an anime girl or 90's Batman cartoon femme with two dark holes through which two white circle eyes can be seen. Inside a stone or mud brick thatch roof house the character turns to a man huddled between an older and younger woman and says "give back my coat" The man replies "fine" and tells the older woman "it's in the chest go get it". The character tells the younger woman "you there, help me" in the next panel the two white circle eyes and necklace are visible beneath the dark hood of a hand made coat, the tight covering now falls away in tatters and the character walks past a rosebush, along a beach, toward mountains, in the rain and snow. The older woman turns to the fourth wall and says "I guess you think that's pretty funny "doctor", but are you it's daughter...or ours?" as the Hag gang/cult's characteristic face tattoos appear on her face
Hayden: You gonna miss me? Her: Yeah...what time are you leaving? Hayden: That night, we're meeting up at seven. Her: Do you want to do something together that morning? Hayden: Yeah, sure. Doctor Wode dreams of the necklace chaning hands to the woman from the start of the comic, from a statue of an angel, from a bearded white man in a polo shirt and khakis on a plane, from an aboriginal young man in blue jeans, from an old time Chinese merchant in an office, from an Ethiopian merchant in a shop, from a Khoikhoi man, from a West African merchant in a market.
I have, in theory, finally finished editing Orbal Prism and put in an order for a proof copy! Here's preview pages, we'll see how the physical looks when it comes.
