Not having powers sucks!: Charisma is getting a real taste of the Norm-Life Pie at the moment. Of course, she didn’t have powers for most of her childhood, so all of this must be a very unpleasant reminder of what vulnerability feels like. Will it make a difference in the long run? Guess she has to survive the crash first.
Got some personal vacation time: Starting in a few days I have two weeks vacation time from my day job… that’s great news for Magellan since most of my time off will go into writing, drafting and drawing plus other upgrades for this story and site. As many of you may know, I live in Sydney which is currently in the midst of a major COVID lockdown. This has meant working on my day job from home and pretty much nowhere else to go. So, yes, I’m taking a break from working on my day job at home… to work on Magellan instead! And I am looking forward to it so, so much.
Patrons: Over on Patreon page 119 is now up…
Next update: Wednesday August 11, 2021: Remember Magellan USA?
Magellan Academy really needs to modify one of these devices (well, assuming things can be undone) to create a temporary loss of powers (say, an hour) and implement a class about how to function in a crisis situation without powers.
Lesson #1: Don’t Be Aboard An Aircraft When It’s Crashing.
Powers didn’t help Go!Anna with that one.
‘course we already *know* she’ll survive the crash. Will she survive the end of the world? 😉
at moment I’m just interested into end of this arc, particularly how will it end and how will situation look afterwards …will it end in defeat of rargs, enslavement of earth or timejump sheningas
The other option is for the Earth to get lost beyond an even horizon, but I have a song going through my head that might help resolve things, “Let’s do the time-warp again.”
We could do the old “What If?…” routine. Maybe even a cameo by The Watcher 😀
my bet in Ambrosia makes use of the back hole to make a long time slip
This strategy might’ve worked if they used one missile and then waited for the Rarg’s ship portal to open to deliver the other. Or maybe not these creatures are clever and probably would anticipate this.
“This has meant working on my day job from home and pretty much nowhere else to go. So, yes, I’m taking a break from working on my day job at home… to work on Magellan instead! And I am looking forward to it so, so much.”
Great to get back to the story and see some new pages 😀
Quite the contrary, the missiles had exactly the effect I expected.
Good to hear you’re doing at least okay so far, stay safe with regards to the virus and with regards to sanity – make sure to get out on walks or such to the extent allowed. And have some great vacation! 🙂
With regards to the page: that went exactly as expected. And we’re now pretty close to the opening scene. I’m still more scared than excited, but I am looking forward to seeing how this goes!
Further confirmation that Charisma’s powers manifested in puberty, which left lots of time for her mother to beat fear and shame into her. I’ve heard stories of big, meaty slabs of men cringing in terror at the flaring tempers of their shriveled, elderly parents. I suspect, deep in her heart, that Evangeline still terrifies Charisma.
I think you’re quite correct.
