Yeah, I tried to color coordinate the speech bubble with her. I’m think Pepper’s would’ve been a muted green color. It’s an idea I plan to use later when two characters are talking over a flashback (or in a panel they’re not in).
Early, Noni mentioned the bathroom at the end of the hall. Across from the bathroom is the storage room…the room we’ll see in the next page.
I’m fine with that coloring idea, brings the reader more into action: he / she looks at the surroundings while the characters do chatting behind the reader.
I suggest to color all speech bubbles (maybe with thinner border) to get the readers used to the colors.
For color selection … choose colors which represent major individual features. My suggestions:
- dark pink for Amanita (her headband, the color you’ve already used matches perfectly)
- light pink for Noni (hair)
- dark grey for Luke (we talk about a vampire)
- grey-brown for Pepper (hair)
- white for Jacklyn (hair)
- grey-blue for Bo (skin, maybe he don’t need a color unless his tongue comes to life)
- dark brown for Toadie
- Dark red for the Doc
etc … maybe you find better ones if needed.
well, you never know, maybe it’s reinforced against vampires and such, due to the building’s rough history as a former school for whatever creatures that went to it. that hasn’t actually been clarified as of yet.
Depends… Does the rule of a Vampire not being able to enter one’s dwelling without a spoken invitation apply in this world, or more specifically, to the bedrooms of each tenant? if so, whether or not he has the strength to smash the door down or not, he might not be able to enter regardless. Not to mention, the Warden would likely not appreciate such destructive behaviour.
I’m pretty sure zombies and vampires would need to shower, at least. If they have skin, they have normal microbiota. If they have that, it can build up, generate odors. Also, if Luke goes feeding (human or not), there’s going to be blood spray from arteries.
I wonder…we’ve seen that Pepper has high strength in human form, does that mean we’re going to see Luke flying across a room if he walks into the bathroom to freshen up at the wrong time?
Pepper: “We’re going to need a lock.”
Amanita: “Definitely a lock.”
Pepper: “Reinforce the door…”
Amanita: “Well, I suppose Luke might not be a problem, but why take the chance?”
Pepper: “Probably add a few antipersonnel mines…”
Amanita: “Okay, now you’re getting ludicrous.”
Luke appears to have his tailored suits professionally dry-cleaned, so he probably does bath. He’ll probably also tell you that he was bathing back when your ancestors thought that taking a bath would summon the devil.
Bo + water…..would probably make him smell worse, soap or no soap. Unless a) all of his…fluids have been replaced with formaldehyde or other preservatives, or b) he bathes in formaldehyde. (You need moisture for decomposition to occur, which is why people naturally mummify in deserts).
And conisdering their earlier interactions, I think that Amanita putting a lock on the door will only encourage Luke to break down the door. Just because she’s trying to keep him out.
Ahh the wonders of a co-ed bathroom, so many chances to be horribly beaten by a werewolf, have your testicles vaporized by magic, or have your immortal soul devoured by a pissed off ghost…all because you had to take a leak at the wrong time, something tells me this will end up leading to our poor zombie friend being without a head at some point.
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife………
hide yo gypsy’s , hide yo werewolves
and hide yo zombies and vampires cause there’s a rapist in the building.
no zombies is safe luke would probs kill the rapist unless the rapist knocked luke out before hand
Is it even possible to knock a vampire unconscious?
A remnant of the Old School, or of the Prison?
The old school, definitively.
“Devinitively a lock” – sounds either shy or she doesn’t trust neither the zombie nor the vampire.
Will a lock really be a challenge for a vampire?
BTW, do the dark-pink borders of the speech bubbles indicate Amanita’s speaking?

Oh, and I like Pepper’s clothing style.
I don’t think even the DOOR will be a challenge for the vampire.

Wow…some obsessive comments here….I suggest you do this, I would do that….maybe just…I dunno, enjoy the story?
Because a bath could be more enjoyable.
Ba dum tss

Bo: *holding his head under one arm* “Don’t you hate people who take head and never give it? I’m going to find some epoxy, don’t wait up…”
