Happy Wednesday, All!
I’ll be in meetings all week so this week will have to be a M-W-F week.
Please feel free to come by on Thursday…even if it’s just to reply to a post.
Thank you for reading. And for those of you that were wondering…this is NOT the end of the Dreamland Chronicles.
This is Chapter 16. I have 24 chapters plotted out.
So there is much more to the story to go. I promise.
Have a wonderful week.
Scott
IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! IT’S…..
SUUUUPER NASTAJIAAAAAAAAA!
well, this is interesting…
I hope she remembers to go in feet first!
And I was kinda wondering in the last few scenes why no one was reflexively holding her back in case she did something like this.
This may be a foolish, even futile move on Nastajia’s part, but I for one am very happy to see her do it. She’s held herself aloof from her own emotions for far too long. Nic’s already taken her parents – I pity the fool who tries to take Alex from her.
Well – I reckon I gonna re-check next week Friday. I consider this sequence too detailed to be consumed a page a day for it looses its dynamics. So, Scott – see ya next week at friday. 🙂 Stay safe & happy rendering ^^
Feet first? Hmm… I saw those cliff divers in films, and they go in hands first, so she will be just fine – IF she gets the right angle that is. But don’t worry, she probably won’t die, the storyboard will not allow this ^^
Yes! Mass suicide!
I always said elves are lemmings.
I know, she’s going to save him. But, important observation: her armor is too light. She needs to wear more for the maximum effect. After all, I can swim in full plate in essentially every MMORPG I ever played.
ASSASSINA!
When I saw her being held back in previous page I thought “oh shet she gonna follow” aha I knew it!! I hope she knows how to swim >.>
O_O I actually wasn’t expecting this one… she’s usually so level-headed!! But I like it — leave it to her to show the extent of her emotions for Alex!! =O <3
Awwwww, no mermaid save?
Holy sh….molee.. Nasti! What the heck are You doing? You think You can wrestle Alex from the claws of a determined dragon??? And do that under water to boot??
woot woot! More falling, but not in the way you promised. 😀
I’m not sue how much of a threat Nic still is with a mortal wound.
Up up and aw… oh shiiii… ishkebabs!!!!! O_O
Seriously though, that woman can MOVE, what a jump!
I believe I can fly…
Strangely romantic. Guess that really shows how strong her feelings are for Alex.
Hope she remembers to lose the cape & boots fast, though. She’ll never swim with those on.
Don’t be silly, Nastajia; all he has to do is WAKE UP and he’s outta there.
Also, your armor probably isn’t as magical as his, so I’d think it might drag you down. His, I could believe it would float.
She should lose the cape. The boots. And the armor, if she’s serious about saving him.
There’s still the option the merpeople will find and save them both, and we’ll have a brief underwater interlude. Maybe they can talk to the merfolk, bring them up to date about what’s going on, and get clues to the Island Alex and Co.apparently will have to find and go to to set everything right…
“I can see my house from here….”
*snort* Love it!
Oh, that mad, impetuous girl. ^.^
That’s quite a horizontal distance on that leap.
Best. Panel. EVER.
DO A BARREL ROLL!!
Actually, if you look, Orion was holding her back in the previous two pages. He was holding onto her right arm with both arms which (especially when you consider the fact that centaurs have tremendous strength), would normally be enough. However, she still broke away.
I am really excited to see how this turns out. For those who question her ability to swim in the armor and cape, though, it should be remembered that Alex’s awesome armor was made by the elves, so her armor might be magical, too, and her cape is definitely magical, as it at least is able to store multiple things (like the conch), which Felicity even tried to peer into, last time they were in the water.
LOL that’s what I was thinking
Just a flesh wound.
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what’s coming to you. I’ll bite your legs off!
I’m thinking she’s gonna wanna lose that big cape if she wants to swim efficiently 😛
This? Awesome.
Nastajia, don’t do anything stup–
Too late.
Meanwhile, I had a line from a lesser movie in mind:
“Don’t even think about it.”
“Never do.”
Well, she had stopped resisting most likely.. so he relaxed his grip. She took advantage of it.
Okay now more pages of falling is AWESOME! Very nice to see Nastajia drop her ice queen attitude.
She broke the bannister! How rude! 😀
The first thing I thought of was.
She will grab him underwater and he will wake up…..with her beside him.
Beeellllyyyy Flooopppppppp!
awwwwwww
She’d catch a grenade for him,
She’d blow up a plane for him,
She’d kill-a-huge-dragon for him,
Then jump off a cliff for him,
But would he do the same?
Woooah….
Awesome…
Nastajia gets a Crowning Moment of Big D**n Heroic Awesome.
Nastajia’s (possible) outcome:
Step 1: Dive into the water to rescue Alex from Nicodemus
Step 2: ??????????
Step 3: Wake up next to Alex…..in front of a very shocked Dan and Nicole…..waiit, sorry, meant Profit!
You never know…
What if he planned to make it a tragedy?
Lemmings don’t run over cliffs. The only lemmings that stupid are the ones in the game.
“I believe I can touch the skyyy…”
Would be awesome.
i hope she remembers how to fly!
orion:Natasha get back here right this moment,you cant fly without alex…
Natasha: oh i forgot that,,,,,,,, imitates wile e coyote by trying to run back in mid air..
I say Nastajia is going to get in there just in time to see a mermaid deep kissing Alex XD
“Think about it every night and day…”
That is why you fail.
lol! Nice one! I’m surprised no one else commented on this one. Almost everyone knows Peppy’s famous line 😛
she follows this perfect leap with a half ganor with a twist going into a perfect vertical and lands in the water with nearly no splash.. judges ?? 10 10 10 10.. perfect score the crowd goes wild!!!
This made me inexplicably happy.
I jsut hope she doesn’t land on her belly…
She’s diving into the sea in a cape and armor? Wow. The only thing that could be stupider than this would be if she actually survived. Which she will. Oh well, C’est n’est pas la vie.
That cape is going to drag like crazy in the water.
The advice of Edna Modes comes to mind, “No capes!”
Maybe she will save him and they will cling to each other and in their last moments together before their air runs out and then Alex wakes up but the magic of Dreamland and the love for each other will pull Nastajia into the real world, waking up in Alex’s bedroom with him…..
OOooh… that be interesting.
did noone else notice how she literally broke through that stone railing like it was cardboard?
SU-per-mannn!! (Iron Giant Disney version)
Finally, Staj gets in close and dirty, no more annoying Nic to death with her bow and light-arrows.
“Let..(crunchHh)….my (whack!)..Man..(maulify!) Go!…(snapp!)”
She looks to be flying, judging by the trail behind her, and her relative height to the bannister and bits.
Alex was the Magic Feather!
Pochauntus!
lol why Pocahantas?
How does she get her shoulder pieces to stay on.
LOL!
You just made my day.
M-M-Maaagic!
*Wiggles fingers!*
She may lose a lot more than the cape diving in that outfit. Unfortunately it looks more like a belly smack.
But they are sooooooo cute when they stop and hold their heads just before they explode…
Heh, actually my money is on Alex breaking free and saving her. Remember, he was the one who had a dragon to break his fall, and he’s the one who can fly. Last time they went off that pier, the only reason they didn’t drown was that Nastajia summoned the mer-folk first.
You’ll not have died in vain!
I’m not quite dead yet.
You’ll not hve been mortally wounded in vain!
Actually, i believe i’ll pull through, sir. i think i’m okay to go with you.
Oh.
🙂 i love that movie
Next episode:
Daniel: “We have my brother almost drown in bed, and then an elf appears next to him…”
Nicole: *facepalms* “Just document it and let the insurance guys figure it out. I’m going home.”
Captain Jack Sparrow: *looking at Nastaja when she jumps*
(drunkenly)You know that feeling you get when you’re standing in a high place… sudden urge to jump?… she has it
Love: making people jump off high places since forever.
Dat’s the truth
Amen, brother.
Ain’t she just.
No capes for sure.
