Description New Page. I was really busy this week, so there was a delay on working on anything, really, but here we go.

As for this whole Lucy and Marina thing, yeah, Marina being saved by Lucy had actually been planned from the beginning of the story. I had considered doing a side comic starring Lucy, and I'd actually started a piece of Lucy walking with Marina down one of the Major city streets, but I never finished it. Sort of glad too, because I hadn't planned on bringing their arc into Ned's story, but the idea struck me and now here they are.

The Lucy Story was going to be a fun little thing where Ned and Lucy constantly near-miss one another throughout the zombie apocalypse.

And then I realized how much work it would be to do a side story -_- So it got canned. Oh well.

I'll hopefully work on the next page and get back to a daily schedule. I wish life wasn't so demanding lately. I'm getting scared of not-finishing this within the deadline.

Lucy (c) Me
Aaron (c)
Charlie (c)
Marina (c)

i'm gonna be honest, i'm a little surprised you're making charlie talk so much. his usual tactic is not not say anything to anyone unless he has to. though, you've got his bitchy-ness down to a t, which i guess is what matters in the end.

Ah, well, I'm just culling what I get from the stories. XD Sorry if it's wrong. I work mostly with what I see of the character.

Though, to "justify", let's see... Aaron was preoccupied during his last long rant, and it was actually brought on by anger, though I dunno how well I portrayed that, at Lucy's sudden appearance resulting in Aaron's ankle taking a hard hit (I wanted to show some iota of his protectiveness to the new audience, hidden as it is by his general attitude). XD I tried to show it through that "ANGRY EYE" panel, but I don't think many people caught that and figured he was just being a whiny jerk for the express purpose of being a meanie butt.

As for this last bit of talking regarding "Promises," it just sort of tied into the theme of this round's story, which is "Duty to Another person." I figured Charlie might have some feelings about this, since his perceived main motivation in the story is (or was, I guess, depending) his duty to his brother, and right now is his duty to Aaron. At the moment Lucy's kinda "doin it wrong," and I guess I just assumed that, since it tied into his motivation, he might end up saying a line or two about it.

Though it comes down to the fact that this is only a fraction of the story, and the script as a whole actually doesn't have Charlie talking too much, if I think about it, except for when the character needs to (he actually doesn't say a word past "heh" in the next two pages). Maybe you'll see that as the story progresses--we aren't even halfway into the entire plot.

But of course, the creator knows the characters best, so I apologize if I'm getting him wrong XD Glad to know I got his bitchiness down tho.

woah, woah, woah i didn't mean it as a huge criticism XDD sorry if it came off that way! i was just a little surprised to see him so chatty, i still think you did he character really well. though, me and fern were really surprised you did ask us any questions at all about charlie/brian/aaron/kaylee, but since it' the semifinals there's been a lot revealed about the characters in the comics already

XD Nah, I just wanted to explain the "why" behind the chattiness. Also you opened up the door with the comment to my storytelling, and in general I just like talking about it. I hope I didn't sound offended in the comment, I just get long-winded, because this is stuff I enjoy thinking and talking about a lot XDD

Ah, yeah, I ask questions when I feel I need to ask them. When I finally thought up the plot I was going to do, I thought over if what I needed was answered already in the 20 facts and the comics, and I couldn't think of anything that would be major enough to warrant bothering you guys. XD We'll see if my decision was a good one or bad one.

If we can hate a character, that means you're writing him well! And I agree, Charlie's being an asshole.
