Description After almost exactly three months of waiting, my Kiriban for is here! This was meant to be given as a prize for my awkwardly numbered 46,510 Kiriban (don't ask), but my well of inspiration had apparently run dry back then. Then it finally got an idea on Monday night and said, "Screw it. She's waited long enough. Everything else goes on hold until this is done!" And it did when I wasn't trapped at work.

The request was for something in a similar vein to another Kiriban request I've done, "Warmth in the Winter ". Take the main character, have them meet some lovely lady, and more or less have them live happily after ever.

"oh and before i forget! it has to involve a toaster!!!"
This add-on to the request certainly made trying to come up with something more fun, but also extremely challenging. Several ideas crossed my mind, from randomly tripping on a toaster in front of the other girl, to discovering a "genie of the toaster" (yes, I'm completely serious). The involvement of the toaster added a sort of necessary kooky humor, but trying to balance things so it was "kooky" and not "stupid", was key. I'm still not sure if I actually captured that balance though (I still hesitate to call it anywhere near perfect), but I am more or less pleased with the end result.

Also, I got a little experimental with the shading "color" and the paneling. Mixed feelings here honestly, but I'll hear what you have to say if you have any thoughts on the matter.

As an aside, I'd like to remind everyone that just because it's a comic that I wrote, it does not mean it has anything to do with Rain. Both our heroine and the girl she falls for were designed by ~Drugie herself. I guess I DID come up with Dick Roomie (the unofficial name for the dick roommate) as well as the nameless girl he subsequently disappointed however. But they still have nothing to do with anything, and I offer them up as public domain.

To finish this off: I hope you all like it. Thank for reading it.

And to ~Drugie , thank you so much for your patience. I can't apologize enough for taking as long to do this as I have and I still feel really bad. Still, I hope it's a fun and enjoyable read and was worth the wait for you in some way. ^_^

You know it's been three years and I heard Dick Roomie still doesn't own a toaster!

That girl sure pegged him.

*SQUEAL* AGHH!!! That is too precious!!! *Grin* I LOVE it! I love this comic strip Jocelyn, it's funny and sweet. (I actually had no idea you did other things than Rain, but I came here today from a link on FB from Landers page)

"I actually had no idea you did other things than Rain"

Methinks you should do some gallery diving. Β Rain takes a lot of my time at the moment, but I'm actually a really busy lady. ^_^ Β 

I also have:
- A half-written novel, Lavender Town Β 
- A partially made RPG with a totally playable demo, Shangri-La
- Future stories just waiting to written, like Magical ,Β Impure , Idle Herald , Contest of Heroes and more
- A plethora of goofy comics (mostly related to games)
- And a whole bunch of other junk. XD
