Week 270! (Page 458 Script) (Patreon)

THIS MARKS PAYMENT FOR THE WEEK OF 10/6-10/12.

Alright, now a script update, this one for page 458. It's a bit of a part 1 of 2.

Writing this arc thus far, it's been rather... mood-swingy. It started with the pretty serious bit between Kale and Fox Kale concerning Bruce, switched into goofy with the reappearance of Lucy and Liddy, and now with this page it's going to switch right back into pretty serious with Lucy (and Kale to a tiny extent) teasing of Fox Kale driving him to a point of legitimate breakdown. It's fairly whiplash-y, but it makes more sense considering all the things Fox Kale brings up that happened over the last few days. 

He got betrayed and nearly killed by a close friend of the family, then suddenly get saved, accosted, and overpowered by some random girl they literally just met a month prior, a girl that says she has all the answers but gives them in a painfully slow and vague manner (to him). She seems to lie to you, drags you  around to dangerous places to learn seemingly-useless things, and you're forced to stand down by your "weaker" self several times. Then she comes back the next night and practically immediately attacks you, and when you try to counter-attack, she just completely disables you and then mocks you for being so weak.

These are the types of feelings that have been bubbling in Fox Kale, so it only makes sense that he more or less explodes over it. Lucy, despite being a bit of a female lite-version of Bruce, is more aware of things than not, so she is eventually able to recognize what her joking and fooling around, combined from all the stuff in the previous night's escapades, is doing to Fox Kale, and Lucy is in fact capable of coming down to earth and talking seriously to someone who's clearly very troubled about things.
