This is the last episode to cover the first night at the hotel! The next scenes after the first night will be the events of chapter 7 from the previous version; the events around the end of chapter 3 through 6 will be that night. This re-arrangement of events will give some breathing room before the next major plot point; an initiation and the first of the battles between the Renegades and the League in the new timeline! Soon, Renegade Threat Level Red Alert will finally appear in an episode!
It might’ve seem odd the entire time that she’s on promotional art like the cover and banner along with Renegade Liberty and Renegade Midnight Conductor, but hasn’t appeared yet when the other two debuted in the first few episodes! That was an issue with the pacing that I was never able to fix when I made this webtoon an adaptation, but I thought it was better to slow down the pace to give more focus on the characters to get to know them better.
This episode introduces two characters who only appeared in one of the chapter intermissions of the previous version and some extra sketches; here they are in the webtoon!
I’m participating in Comics Challenge this month with the goal to work on Anathema to Commonsense at least 30 minutes a day. This challenge has been a great opportunity to go over steps of the production process through my updates, and they go over part of the process for this episode! I’m drafting an article that puts the updates together!
Renegade Midnight Conductor is a recruiter for the Magical Renegades, a faction of eccentric mages who are opponents to "the Magestablishment" for using a newer, experimental style of magical weaponry that bypasses the Magestablishment's bureaucracy!
She was a time traveler who left the Academy for Time Travel before she graduated, and is now a fugitive. She believed their rules were too limiting, and time travel can be used to set things right.
She went back to 1884 to meet Susana, a human who would become a great historical figure in the events that were to follow. Susana joined the Magical Renegades as Renegade Liberty, and stopped a takeover, but the magic that they promoted fell into the hands of Renegade Midnight Conductor's rival, another rogue time traveler who used power to begin taking over space-time! With one of the four superweapons under her control, this rival would be formidable to any opposition!
The rival caused an incident that left a group of people stranded in 1887, under her rule, in a bizarre anachronistic timeline just as "The Great Power Struggle" is about to happen again! Some of the stranded people are just trying to survive while they wait for space-time to be restored, but others have their eyes on joining one of these factions and see opportunities for heroism, fame, wealth or power ahead!
Follow the tale of the Magical Renegades as they seek more recruits, and try to work together! However, raw power isn't everything. Sometimes, they must think outside of the box even if it means going against commonsense!
