Description Phew, finally had some time to help me with text for this messy page I'm hoping to post some more pages soon.

Thanks for co-writing!

"I was half-expecting this to happen, as Betzen mentioned that she was going to do a few "tests". Looking back, if we had just played along - Betzen would have returned our possessions in a more timely manner. As I suspected, Alina's key to her world was a doll - fashioned with a red garment with a beautiful gold design weaved in. Rebekka at that time was reaching for her ring - it reminded me of something a trophy wife would wear. Curiously, Karmel didn't receive anything - though I doubt she would participate in her present condition." - Seelena's text
"Desmond, after you're done passing those around could you do the same with those cameras? For this experiment, I want each person to go to their respective world and take pictures there for me. After all, wouldn't it be for the best if we all got to know each other?" - Betzen

Because no one has mentioned it yet, the box looked much smaller in the last page

floraaritcwolf In reply to Attackrage92 [2015-11-04 22:36:28 +0000 UTC]

It's because of camera position, the camera was a tad further away in the last page, the box is bigger because the camera position is closer.


I think <3

The camera, to me, seemed closer in the last page, as the focus of the last page, was to introduce Desmond

Well the main focus in the last page was Desmond, but she/he probably mad the box tinier because, lol who cares about the box. In this scene, I believe the main focus was about what the box held.

How does Seelena "suspect" all these? Also, what's the difference between a trophy wife's ring and an ordinary ring?

And why the protegee has to hand these items over? Couldn't a flunky just put them on the desk?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zengel In reply to Skycommand [2015-11-06 18:51:34 +0000 UTC]

She suspected that Alina's "key" was a doll because of what Betzen said when Alina asked her about the doll.
Difference between any ring and THAT ring is a name written on it and memories and feelings this item brings.

And well, Desmond could, but miss Betzen just wants him to hand these items over. There's no secret.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Skycommand In reply to Zengel [2015-11-09 13:52:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh, so the "suspected" part is restricted to being a doll only? Okay then.

As for the ring, however, engraving costs around €10.59, although I assume in the medieval times, when the engraving was done by hand, it was far more expensive. Now, memories and feelings are not exactly visible but do not dare telling me anyone has more memories and feeling for their life partners than I do! (Psst! The smiley face means the "do not dare" part was said jokingly, not angrily.)

Well I assume they would have to leave their worlds eventually, and I bet they can't change their exit location either. Basically when they leave they have to return to the point from which they left from.

Imagine once they have taken the photos, and then after they're developed images of strange entities appear in them - entities that weren't seen before but we're there the whole time? Whose to say they were't alone in there respective worlds the whole time and were not been observed by these beings!

For some reason Desmond looks broken to me. I don't know why, there is just this look in his eyes like all the life has left him. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it.

Also, I'm curious. Do they physically leave when they go into their own worlds? And if so, when they returnΒ  do they go back to the spot they were in when they left? Is that how Betzen can keep them locked up and controlled? Can they just refuse to go back to 'reality'? Is that an option? Gosh, this story is so interesting!

Okay, first it was "As much as it pains me to say it, Betzen did what she had to do to keep order."

Now it's "Looking back, if we had just played along - Betzen would have returned our possessions in a more timely manner."

It's almost as though she's trying to justify Betzen's actions. Is this the beginning of Stockholm's Syndrome? I sure as hell hope not.

Some interesting observations.
Doc boy is just standing there bleeding. No emotion showing. Strong arm is looking at Betzen as if questioning her doing this.
I am taken back by Seelena' comment about Rebekka......a trophy wife? She could be a widow of some one lost in a battle in these realities. She is so quick to judge knowing very little about others not an admirable quality.

OdicHastings In reply to jadontheman [2015-11-01 23:39:53 +0000 UTC]

I'd imagine its physically since they're being tasked with taking cameras with them. If it was mental those would stay behind with their bodies.

Also, lady-doctor's henchmen had to wait until the main character returned before kidnapping her. If they basically just drifted into a coma, they'd have been able to just carry her away while she was out.

Wyvern-1 In reply to jadontheman [2015-11-01 23:36:06 +0000 UTC]

Since Betzen's expecting them to take cameras with them, my first instinct is that it's physical...but then again, "mind over matter;" if they go to their world carrying a camera, even if it's a mental journey they might have the things they have on them (clothes, key, camera, et cetera), so it could just as easily be one, the other or both at once.

In fact, my money's on the "both," since (a) it's clear Betzen expects some physical manifestation of this ability through these tests, and (b) if it were a fully-physical ability, it'd essentially be teleporting and the girls could simply have escaped the instant they have their keys back. So I bet they leave mentally, but access a completely different dimension/plane/etc. and only go back to where they were in reality when they return to it. Or something like that; so I guess we'll wait and see, won't we, hmm? ^_^

Tony-Akita [2015-11-01 22:38:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, this got interesting...

So now that the subjects are given their "key" items back, will they try to escape or will they conform to the experiment? And if they conform, what does Betzen have planned for their secret worlds or their ability? And what about Mai's world? What is her key and what is her world?

I'm hoping that all this will be answered in the next additions to your comic! I'm liking it so far!
