Where an old friend meets up with a new... fascinating character.
After a few weeks, we have reached the first of the last stage of my first arc. I'll admit it, I almost cannot believe it: me finally publishing my first long-term story for the whole wide web to partake in, even working on longer panels for the last run. There are still more left in this last lap (you thought I would really just end it here?), but nonetheless, thanks to all who stuck by and read this comic.
Anyway, I guess it was inevitable: Goddess of Yearning meets the greatest yearner. (oh joy...)
-- Be gracious, leave a comment! --
Pssst... I'll let you in on three secrets:
Secret 1: All titles in this arc so far are references to corporate terms (consultant, stratagem, brainstorm, escalate...). Why, I don't know. I guess I just liked them, for whatever reason (this is not to be the last of office term references)
Secret 2: With minuscule exceptions, all characters names are either puns or meaningful.
Luxurai's name derives from a word with "lust" as its meaning ("Luxuria").
Meanwhile, the Magical Woman who can create clear strong ice has a first name of "Clair", and a last name which is french for "ice cream".
Secret 3: Originally, my plan with Luxurai was of a goddess unbound by an identifiable outfit. But then, the original design was so iconic that I was unable to surpass it, so instead, I decided to bring it back with Luxurai, but this time, with the pants.

Setting: La Resurrección, California, Bayhilliance. "The Sleepless City". A coastal hub of casinos and tech companies. A city stretching stillborn across the Concept of Horizons. A city where new innovations in magic and the research of Potent, the power that many beings are born with, is born in the streets and in wayward flats.
This is a story about Monsent and company at Wesdin Illustrious, an esteemed art college, as they go through art college, learning art, the magic of Art, and a little bit about themselves, the powers they are born with, and the earth around them.
This is a story about Moon Weixing and Sandamance, as they prowl through its street at dark, seeking to take out its tyrants and tyrant aspirants, while hoping to dodge an old pursuer for another day.
This is a story of greater events born decades before their history; greater events that now threaten to drown and tear them apart. Greater events from lofty heights, from buried depths, greater events swirling with cosmic worries.
Greater events that will drag Monsent, Moon, and La Resurrección into the center of a maelstrom.
La Resurrección is the "Place where Things Happen". Great and unexpected things are happening its way...
