Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Okay, I have a confession. "Core" here is a Patreon cameo character, as mentioned on the previous page, but as I was writing this one, I realized that the description I have for him doesn't include a name. Also the email I have for the guy whose character it is isn't valid anymore, so I thought it'd be funny to make one up for him and also make it, as Sydney puts it, "Celtic gibberish." But I must have emailed the guy at some point when I still had valid contact info and gotten the name because it's right there on page 782. I just didn't add the name to my cameo notes, like a boss.

And that's how I wrote and drew this page and only just realized my screw-up as I'm posting it this evening, so… I had to scramble to edit Sydney's first word bubble, and I guess "Core" is now the guy's supranym?

People had questions about the status of The Veil and its current demon coverage. That's... hinted at here, but will be addressed in a page or two.

I think we can blame the British for the state of Celtic to English translation. But yeah. It is absurd.

Being able to smell supers would be pretty handy for Archon. I wonder if Dabbler ever told anyone she can do that.

Stuart Sanders

Yes, Irish (as well as other Celtic Languages) has some - interesting - spelling.

Fogel

Interesting that Olivia's first assumption for angle of attack is dreams and not the traditional method

Steve Smith

My working theory is that Irish spelling is specifically designed to screw with the English.

Tim Malmström

Well, yes, all foreign languages are encrypted to some degree. It’s how they spot those filthy foreigners that are trying to infiltrate their country; they all learned from books instead of from childhood so nothing they say sounds right.

Jonathan Hamilton

I swear, the celts were forced to adopt the English alphabet and decided collectively how to fuck with "normal" English by making up their own sounds that make no sense given the letters involved....and then I remember the meme about how every 'c' in "pacific Ocean" is pronounced differently.

Jim the Pirate

As someone who does tech support, and spoken with a number of clients in Hawaii and clients with Asain family names. I'm with Sydney, because I've often caught off guard with names and been like just staring at nine letter last name with only one vowel and they are it pronounced "Smith." I have fight every urge to demand how.

Town Crier

Whelp, I likin' the brunette. She seems to be a bit unflappable, well-informed, curious, and able to deal with Sydney's antics. I have several friends like that. They just enjoy the entertainment that I bring to the table. I'm also the one that causes gatherings to happen, usually prefaced with, "...and I'm making my lasagna. quesadillas, baked omelet, apple pie, snickerdoodles, etc...". They put up with my nonsense, until they don't. They are very straight forward, and not mean about curtailing my thought process when it seriously derails. BTW, I was diagnosed with ADHD just a couple of months ago. WHEEEE!

You know, I love the little touch in panel 6 of her cheek overlapping her lips.

Timothy Mayfield

I would love to see more of Sydney's friends in the comic.

Senok El Tirun

Well, I am interested to learn that "celtic gibberish", mostly because it's one of the few languages, what i heard to be harder to learn than hungarian - which is my mother language by the way. It's just so hard to find ANY information regarding the actual language, that if you doesn't have a goal to became a linguist specialised in old languages, it seems to be impossible to actually learn any proper sentences...

Sydney's absolutely right. If there's any language group that discourages literacy, it's Celtic. Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin aka Enya. And she and Core aren't the only ones to pick an alias.

Brett Dunbar

That's only really true of Irish. The orthography is consistent but it only bears a passing relationship to English orthography. Welsh is much simpler.
