NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! sorry, I recently discovered this webcomic and have been working my way through the archives slowly over the past week and a half, and am slightly annoyed that THIS had to be the point where I catch up… now I have to wait on once-a-week updates to find out what’s going on… (

But in all seriousness, great job Tara. I’ve really enjoyed the webcomic so far, and am thoroughly looking forward to seeing where it goes. keep up the good work!~

Ah, I see.. The Miesti are the ‘butterflies’ we saw earlier.

…with the reader knowing the Horrible Truth and having no way of stopping the characters from making Terrible Mistakes.

Well, yes, you are being dropped in mid-conversation. It makes more sense if you can read the chapter all in one go (or if you have an exceptional memory for week-to-week storytelling). But it will all come together soon!

It’s good story-telling. In the printed comic, this is the point at which the reader puts down Volume 3, hunts for their copy of Volume 2, and tries to work out what the Miesti are.

This page makes me feel like something is missing. Like I was dropped in mid-conversation. (flips through pages) ugh… this is what I get for being up at 1am

Since he’s actually one of them who was there before the Galaxion found that planet, he should know what he’s talking about- but he should know that he needs to describe the thing since they’re so obviously in the dark. I mean, ITS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT, or its supposed to be.
But of course, Option #3 happens a lot around here !

Think about all of the things you know intrinsically: He knows what a Miesti looks like, what one acts like, it’s second nature to him. Just as a citizen of the Great Underground Empire doesn’t need to be told to bring a candle, flashlight, or torch, because the dark may hold a lurking Grue.

Most likely a lightbulb will go off in a couple of pages, and someone will point out that either A the home team never described a Miesti to anybody, or B the visiting team is not thinking sufficiently alien.

Or I could be completely wrong on all counts.

Mmm, Could be. But why isn’t he a little more specific about them when talking to Vessa?
But that would blow the General’s take on the situation away- unless she was bluffing.
