I should probably link back to this page for somewhat more context.
I suspect Mir’s right, though Mir is just less introspective about her own at least as extensive issues. It’s going to be a confounding factor in the experiment… does plugging your brain into a computer make you have issues, or does only people that have issues plug their brain into a computer? These are the questions.
Miko’s backstory will probably be more important in the future, though I suppose at this point we’ve seen enough bits and pieces. Well, Mir’s too I suppose, and probably in the closer future, considering…
This page is pushing it pretty late into the week. At some point I might miss a page if I cannot reset to back earlier in the week. I’ll see if I can actually make it on time on Monday. I have roughly the whole month storyboarded out, I just need to actually, you know, draw it. Been hard to keep things together recently, all the days sort of blur together and the time I allocated for X or Y vanishes into the mysterious ether.
Been getting back into running and I think that’s sapping the time and energy reserves. They say it’s good for you, but hell if I don’t reckon it’s killing me.
Y’know, I get the oddest feeling that they actually kind of, well not exactly care for each other, but at least sympathize with each other, just a little bit, maybe? . . .
So you have probably seen this coming, but I think this week I’m going to just skip and try to actually be on Monday. The comic has been later and later each week, and now it’s Wednesday this week and I’m just through the sketch, so… It’d be friday again at best.
To avoid the schedule completely getting discarded as we start to lap ourselves on due dates, I’m going to go for Monday at this point and hopefully bank a little progress to get the next one on something that approaches on time.
Have a great weekend, if you can! We’ll look forward to Monday!
What’s Miko asking about disabling in the last panel? The system rebooting itself, or the post-interface headaches?
The headaches.
Maybe she wanted to disable the vivisection?
I just know that if there was a menu of options for real life and one of them was “be dissected while still alive” I’d try to uncheck that box.
I think that’s what Miko was saying would add to the headache? Or maybe it was the rebooting while still jacked in?
All very confusing to me. I’m pretty sure I don’t want dissected though.
I’m pretty sure she was saying the reboot while jacked in would add to the headache.
I know it always does for me.
Miko, I don’t think Mium believes you with that last line…
Interesting that he cannot read her mind though (or maybe she just doesn’t realize he can)?
Of course, M.I.R. can, most certainly, not read her mind. This final comment is for M.I.R. (and the reader.)
You will notice in panel 5 that both “Miko” and “M.Y.M.” comunicate with M.I.R. through their respective avatars, but “M.Y.M.” seems to also communicate with “Miko” in panel 6 without communicating to M.I.R.
Rolling….1/20. You’ve critically blown your deception check, Miko.
That depends on whether Mium is more of an Intelligence or more of an Artificial. If he’s more the former, then that’s right up there with
I ROLLED A ONE ON MY MOVE SILENTLY ROLL!
But if he’s more of an Artificial, then it’s possible she could get away with that.
My guess is the final question she asked suggests he’s more of an Intelligence.
