Endtown by Aaron Neathery for September 20, 2011

Flask’s just sad because Petey won’t carry her.

It seems Holly’s lines (heard by both felines) got a bit, well, disconnected And without a stop, did a verbal hop which was somewhat unexpected I’d “heard” her a while, and her speaking style was one I was fairly tracking But I got it wrong. Now she’ll tag along when she sends her Wally “packing” For the “pack” has her, and it did occur that she posed some misdirection And to get a laugh, she cut speech in half that would not withstand inspection But since Flask has turned, someone might be burned when she sees this interaction Though her style is lame, this is not a game; she’d see this as more distraction =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum

Do I sense a little lonliness, Flask? Or maybe jealousy? Or both?

holly being twitterpated is an absolute delight!

There is definitely pain in those cold, cold eyes of Flask’s.In contrast, the looks on Holly’s and Wally’s faces is pure joy and love.

Those are not cold eyes,… They are more of a longing envy look

Hmmm…I think Flask is genuinely concerned about the mission. While these two frolic, the responsibility for the mission and the fate of Endtown rests squarely on her shoulders. The arching eyebrow says she is going to say something about the necessity of getting on with the mission, having discipline and not a bunch of grab###.

I don’t think that look went unnoticed by Petey.

The slightly down turned mouth, the laid back ears, and the hint of sadness in the eyes, Blackie is remembering perhaps better times when she was twitter-patted with Petey.

I think she is jealous, Because she doesn’t have a boy friend her self.

I really think that look she is giving is at Petey. If you notice, he IS right behind her.

Michael: no, Petey is behind and below her. Her eyes are looking above him, at those two lovebirds, and yes, pain of the loss of this herself is in those eyes. We may indeed know more about her before this is through. We may also regret knowing more about her. :)

Actually, she’s sad because she’s doing a body count. Her plans were only for three coming back. And now she has to decide which three.

Poor Blackie. You kinda feel sorry her.

ahh, the look!

Flask is thinking: “I had a sweetheart once. That was before he became a personal transport and now a little robot!"

As good as I feel about Wally and Holly’s relationship being secure, I can’t help but feel for Flask right now..Yes, Flask!.Yes, she’s done things in the not-too-distant past. Yes, I think she has serious issues. But right now, she’s on a mission to save Endtown, unaware that the one person she’s depending on the most is NOT the same person as described in a certain “file”..If Flask finds out about that, you know she won’t be this nice about it…

You know, it might be that Flask wasn’t planning on Wally coming back…..Holly provides an extra complication.

Oddly enough, I think she feels sorry for them. If anything goes wrong, which it certainly can, someone could be coming back without a person they love…

Wonderful weather may not last very long. If the dust is really fine (as it seems to be), one gust of wind means a giant sandstorm. Call it inclement weather, or a mere distraction.And Flask does hold grudges, so she may not get over Holly’s sneaking off, even if the mission is successful.

I knew it!Flask WANTS Wally as a boyfriend.

I’ve posted my latest portrait of Wally and Holly: http://s4.zetaboards.com/Endtown/topic/8973842/2/#new

Since Aaron has already inked his next twist as I write this, its a little impotent for me to advocate: “Don’t mess with Maude.”Maude is a larger than life, loud-but-loving big-framed bovine. She is one of the characters that gives End town personal depth and warmth – - and makes any plot twist she’s involved in more personal as well. Without a minimum number of Maudes, End town degenerates into a cheap carnival of plot twists. Don’t mess with Maude!!!Now, I’ll sit back and see what happens tomorrow morning.
