Week 214! (Patreon)

Okay, here's your first script of three for the month, it's for page 426.

This page moves on from Kale simultaneously directly and indirectly asking about the dream stuff that happened in Campy's mind last arc and moves towards the actual focus of the arc, which is the depressing relationship stuff! Whereas page 425 slightly brings up the previous arc, this one slightly brings up the events of the arc where Campy kisses Kale in a dream because he's unsatisfied with his relationship with Connor and so forth. Considering that whole business is a large foundation for the events of this comic, it's obviously important to bring back the sort of emotions and feelings that Campy was experiencing at the time and is still experiencing now (just compounded with his weird exhaustion/stress from the aforementioned dream mystery stuff he can't remember).

Oh, and I should mention that, if you read the previous script updates for pages 424 and 425, you might notice that they were sitting in the cafeteria during Lunch, but now in this script page, they're in the hall with Campy in  front of his locker. Well... I sort of retconned it in advance for them to be there instead of at Lunch, for a couple reasons. One, it's way easier to draw them standing and walking in a hallway than it is to draw them sitting in a cafeteria. Instead of basically having to model a whole cafeteria and fill it with people (or leave it barren, which would be weird), I can just have them converse while people pass by, as I did with Bruce and Ashley recently. Two, it also makes more sense for this to be the end of the day, and thus at lockers getting ready to leave instead of sitting in the middle of the school day. Connor's approach is more justified (as is the absence of their other friends, whose absences during Lunch would either be a hassle to include for this "private" conversation or awkward if unquestioned), it allows them to move on directly out of the school and to the date immediately instead of after a time skip, and it helps to mirror the Bruce arc a little more since it follows how Bruce and Ashley left school while talking as well, to further connect the two as happening on the same day.

So yeah, I won't bother re-uploading the updated scripts for pages 424 and 425 since I've basically just replaced Campy with an uneaten spoonful of food with Campy dropping a book in front of his locker, but yeah, just to let you know in case you got confused reading between them all and this one.
