Issue 20, Page 42
Transcript
Full page: Julia is fully reformed and healed, and also naked. Her hair is long and her face is confident. She holds an unconscious, but rescued Sedjet in her hand, as if having dragged him out of the creature. Behind them, the mass of black flesh melts and breaks up, a dead pile of teeth and bone in the ruins of the hallway.
WOHOOO! SHE. IS. BACK!
She made it!!!
There was a glorious explosion of tentacle monster viscera, with Sedj and Julia stepping out of the gore! That probably makes Julia the most badass sovereign at this time!
Well… Julia stepped out of the gore. Sedjet is still looking either very fascinated with it, OR very tired. Take your pick.
XD
There are bills coming due of course.
But now comes Miller time.
Sedj is definitely going to be under observation for awhile.
*Terminator 2 theme playing*
This page is as satisfying to see as I imagine it is for you to draw it. 😀
BADASS
Now we just need to make sure it can’t T-1000 itself back together with what’s left.
I think Julia just T-1000’d HERSELF and Sedjet. That Black Mass HAD originally been their own bodies.
The little critter she squashed may have represented ToWC’s hold over them – a resonance, more than a physical presence.
You have a point.
I just realized something, though it might just be a coincidence.
Air’asha had a dark bluish-purple gash on Her face, and a liquid of the same color was dripping from Her mouth onto Julia. When the Black Idol creature exploded, a liquid of a different shade of purple gushed out, and is what Julia and Sedjet are partly covered with now.
Well spotted! I didn’t see that. 😀
Also, the imposter creature in Issue 15, Page 22 seems to have purple blood.
Wow, getting Sedjet back too just drives home what a badass she’s decided to be.
Ii’m here to kick gum and chew ass, and I’m all out of ass

I can hear the heavy panting “Finally… Time to deal with this horseshit” from Julia. DAMN! <3
Hacking the most powerful entity (still un)known to the (official) historic records … 100% COMPLETED.
1. Still a little worried about what it means, Julia being Sovereign to TOWC. For all we know it could have unforeseen consequences on her own body and soul. We still don’t even know how far this control reaches, whether it depends on being within sight, or astral travel. She brought Sedjet back with her, which leads to the idea that she can affect the forms of others who are part of it as well. While this is good, for now, seeing as she was able to bring back someone who may have been just as distressed as her, it still seems…. Dangerous. I’m still hopeful though!
2. Julia and Sedj are definitely going in quarantine for awhile.
3. To the idea of “hey, smashing TOWC wouldn’t do anything, it’s supposed to be harmed by fire and silver daggers and stuff”, I say, Julia may very well be able to make all of this black flesh just as unalive-able as herself.
4. Sedj didn’t exactly get rescued by a diety/demon. So, while Julia did bring him back, not so sure what that mat mean.
5. I WAS a little worried about Julia and Mel. With her little speech a bit ago though, I think she might he able to not let this whole experience ruin her thoughts on some others. Maybe.
6. ANYONE ELSE EXPECTING HER TO VOMIT AFTER ALL OF THIS?
She now knows she has the power to “take what is hers”. Just how much she can MAKE hers? Apparently, Sedjet is included! 🙂
re: puking: No. That would be -1 Badass Point, she’ll be having none of that. What I DO expect her to do is T-1000 the rest of that gunk (“Oh right, that’s mine, too”) and then twirl that speartip between her fingers. Using it as a toothpick would be more pretentious than badass.
Angery puppers
Something I’m kinda curious about: I wonder why they don’t have nipples/areolas in the astral plane (or whatever you’d call it). It must have some significance, since clearly they have them in the physical world.
I’ve seen an idea a couple of times, in some European/Western folk tales, + on some French cathedrals’ statues, and that idea is something like:
these characters or people 1] don’t reproduce in the afterlife, so they don’t have baby-making reproductive parts in the afterlife or the supernatural world.
2] also- in these stories, these people also don’t have babies that need breast-feeding, in the afterlife- so, the females, [and maybe other genders], don’t need to breast-feed babes, so they don’t have nipples, either.
[Sorry, it’s kind of a complicated idea, so it look longer to write out, than I expected]. ;D
*typo
I meant:…”or IN the supernatural world”.
Makes sense I suppose.
Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome. 🙂
