Panel 1:

top card: about 45 minutes later... Investigator: It HAS to be them. Investigator: She threatened me. Now Officer Daniels will have to listen. Investigator: Has to be. Investigator: I don't care that they all insist it looks like normal travel expenses. Investigator: The timeline is too solid. Investigator: And she said I was going to be a great forensic analyst. I have to be on the - Investigator: Wait. Investigator: Was she saying I'm bad at it NOW? Investigator (muttering): God her tea was incredible. I wish I had asked for a second cup. The train tea is so burnt.

Panel 2 Card pointing at Adder (left): Adder ket'Aothea (honorary member of clan Oserisades & notorious pirate) Card pointing at Zahra (center): Zahra Nazarel (Captain of the Midnight King & even more notorious pirate) Zahra: Velan, thank you so much. That was... Zahra: Incredible. Zahra: I'd always heard shadow-step was a sight to behold, but I didn't expect it to be so, so... Zahra: So... Zahra: Spectacular. Zahra: But level with me. How much trouble are we in? Zahra: Should we be laying low for a while? Adder: Wait, Cap, that's why you're all nervous? Adder (muttering): I just thought you didn't like the shadows getting weird. Adder: My Ath doesn't threaten people when they're actually dangerous. Adder: Ath Velan, was the lightshow necessary? Velan: Ha, no. No cause for concern, Zahra. Velan: She just pissed me off a little. Velan (small): That's not what a real shadowstep looks like, either. Way too flashy. I'll show you later if you like.

Panel 1 Investigator (left): Look, Mrs. Oserisades- Ath Velan ket'Oserisades (right): Call me Velan. Investigator: Um, Mrs. Velan. We're pretty sure we have a link to your clan and Investigator: um Investigator: notorious pirates. Velan: My, that's an embarrassing mistake for the EBC's tax offices to make. Velan: A waste of both our time, really. Investigator: Not so- Velan: I guarantee it is. Investigator: Look, your paperwork seems clean, but- Velan: Because my clan has done nothing.  Velan: Have some tea. text by Velan's ankles: shoes off means she can transform very quickly - prepared for violence! Velan's stool: chest full of extremely incriminating records Card at the top: The notorious pirates in question left the Oserisades camp 20 minutes ago. Non-card text at the top: Ath: A title, indicating the leader of a dragon clan. The EBC: The Ever-Burning City, a city-state with a military-meritocracy & a monarchy slowly trying to grab at more and more land for the last 40-odd years. Very serious about both piracy and tax fraud (Velan is involved in both).

Panel 2 Investigator: With respect, Mrs. Oserisades- Velan: Ath. Investigator: What? Velan: My title is Ath ket'Oserisades. Investigator: Mrs. Oserisades. Investigator: I know that you've done it. Investigator: I just need to prove it.

Panel 3 Velan: Hmm. Velan: Color me concerned. Velan: But it sounds like Velan: and do correct me if I'm wrong Velan: it sounds like you have no actual proof.

Panel 5 Velan: Don't worry, kid.  Velan: We're all wrong sometimes, ha ha. Velan: I can tell you have a lot of passion. Velan: You'll make a great investigator someday. Velan: You should drink your tea. bottom card: End.

@motormusker's idea; I'm just the messenger lmao

sketched some of my ocs absolutely passed out on Rex's couch because I didn't want to do my homework. I'll finish these once I do my homework, which means there's a 50/50 chance I won't be finishing these.

transcript:

Rex: That's right blah blah you talk all big but here you are on your knees blah blah I'm in charge blah Haven: Excuse me. Rex: -- yeah? Haven: Did you forget that I can bite you? Rex: Uh, no? What? Haven: Oookay. Look just shut the fuck up. I'm trying to enjoy myself here. Rex: isn't this like. Par for the course Haven: No? Rex: You know, like. Rex: Standard? Haven: No. Rex: ... Rex: Look, can you give it a pass for now? I think I'm Rex: Um . Rex: Well it's all stuff Felyx is always saying. I guess.

Haven (thoughts): Well he never asks for anything so I can't say no now so I guess I have to shut him up the old-fashioned way. ... What the fuck is Felyx's problem? God I hate that little loser.

A new header for my Twitter, a collage from these two pieces that I then pretty aggressively hueshifted. I got tired of the Drag Strip coins (they had been my header before for several months).

Followup/coda to this joke comic.

bullying haven again

Repurposed the fancy jaw element from that picture of Haven into a header for my main blog, because I was bored with the one I had before. It's edgy but eh... it's cool looking.

working on another something.

Alternate variants...

the former, because I wasn't convinced on the pupils; and the latter because I think being compared to a dog - even just in terms of teeth - would really, really piss Haven off and that's funny for me.

Stubbornness.
