"Curiosity Killed My Beia" A comic I did for The Spinoff's Comic of the Month

Hi it’s time for my twice yearly “I have feelings about Ghost Trick” post

is ilganyag's interactions with the blacktongues out of sync with time and she has to actively look for -when- to screw around with people or does she keep relatively in sync with the living world?

I almost hate to answer this one 'cause it can curtail theorizing, but we're getting close to it coming up in the comic anyway.

Have you noticed that Sette is interacting with the world on her own timeline? She's not reaching through a waterfall and knocking Ssael's hat off. Living entities - human or senet - are bound to their own timeline. It flows down and around them, the lens through which they view and interact with their reality. Ilganyag is no different. She cannot time travel, personally, inside the khert.

Of course she can theoretically look at memories from any time and glean valuable, highly anachronistic information from them, but she herself is a causal being trapped inside the khert that cannot interact with instantiated reality and people from another timeline. This would all be so, so much simpler if she could change history. Instead all she can do is research the future through scavenged memories, and try to change what happens.

It's a really awkward position, I find, but fascinating. To know pieces of the future, to have goals that you want, to change little things over a long span of time and watch how you're nudging the future in a different direction. It's like playing labyrinth, tilting the board back and forth as the shiny silver marble rolls inexorably forward, avoiding pitfalls, riding the edge, red eye on that goal of goals at the centre.

Good stuff.

You're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you - The Oatmeal

This is a comic about the backfire effect.

Read it.

Hazel McNab, Last Light, linocut.

Wow, so many props I could put on a play

Was the mention of the volcanoe perchance when Sette wasn't trying to teach Duane to lie and teaching through example she said "I'm the best liar to ever climb to the highest peak of Mt Bloodbasin" ?

You got it first, all the props to you ;)

Thank you for asking, BizzAnon! And thanks for answering, Ashley~ Me eyeballs shall live another day~

From what I can make out on a first lookin’:

First pole: “Fret not my children … for there is little…”

Second pole: “Be done in this world but… Think and fixate on the *illegible*” 

Third pole: “Your I N G N (or V?) V (or U?) I V Y H T S… Brought…”

Fourth pole: “For they are not your…”

Fifth pole: “…A O E D E R H … U A U R”

*edit*

AC on the Discord deciphered the third pole as “Your ingenuity has brought,” which is delightfully ominous. Thanks, AC!

BizzAnon: Rainwalker on the Discord is trying to read all the little text on the boards around Tirna's shrine on the cover page of the first chapter. Any chance you could throw up a high-res zoom of it and spare a reader's eyeballs?
