Good thing Juan had a secret Displacement Gate in his office, eh?
Sometimes when I want to put a color Photoshop effect into a page, it's easier for me to do it myself, than instruct the colorist. Normally he does a great job with minimal direction, but every now and then I gotta stick my hand in.

When dazzling won't work, electrocution might. Also, running like hell.

Diana goes for the old "dazzle 'em with brilliance" trick.
1797/67-68/45
Fortunately a cooler head has prevailed ... for now. Also Diana gets her first inkling what happened to Juan.

Meanwhile, Diana has finally gotten some rest, but finds a surprise when she returns to her office.

Juan gets bagged.

Even Bubbleopolis has its truly seedy side. Because seedy people need a place to live, too.

Is Diana's self-consciousness over the top here? Remember, she's only about 19 in Terran years.

It's hard to impress a chick when you're covered in vomit. I know, I've tried.

I wanted to show Diana being attracted to Areum here, without using the tired old "floating hearts" graphic. I don't know whether I pulled it off.

Aerobatics is so much easier when the computer does it.

Ever been in a public place and get a feeling you're being watched? It may not be paranoia. It may be bad hair.

That chewing gum helped Diana's equilibrium, but not her hair.

Where we learn that when the chips are down, Juan is less of an asshole that we may have thought.

Diana's first experience with cannabis. It will be a while before she has another one.

I love that little two-seat flyer of Diana's. I wish I had one of my own.
"The Funky Elephant" is what my Djembe Drum Circle group calls one of the syncopated rhythms we play. It's on a 5/4 measure, but not too difficult to learn.(I'll make this post public so everyone can see what $2.50 per month gets them.)

A bit of interaction with Otto Sullivan. We'll be seeing him elsewhere after a bit. Also, who is that un-named android talking to Hayami in the flash-back panel?

You might notice that I changed panel 3 a bit in the inks. I decided that covering that anonymous ex-boyfriend's butt would fine-tune the pron-factor of this strip to where I want it. And I'm not interested in drawing naked men's butts anyway

Lauren Wodenstar DeClayre. I'm having a bit of trouble getting her look just right in that last panel, but I will improve. Also includes some color guidance for the colorist.

Dong Geyeon-Hoon. That's a Korean name I dug out of the Internet. I hope it's not cultural appropriation or anything.
