SERRA: Hello... Anton?

ANTON: Serra...

SERRA: Anton! I've been waiting for your call. I thought you'd never call me!

ANTON: Sorry...

SERRA: Hey, don't worry about it. It's not often we get to talk to each other anymore, so lets not waste it on apologies okay? How long have we got? I hope the praetors were a little more fair this time, you deserve a time off...

ANTON: They gave me until the intersect... Around until eighteen forty five... Fifteen minutes...

SERRA: Eighteen forty five... That's with a twenty four hour clock right? Haha, clocks here in the research facility all run the revised twenty five hour system. It makes me miss living back there in Yggdrasil... With you...

ANTON: Yeah...

SERRA: How long has it been since I left? I've lost track of the hours and days, time here runs so differently from there...

ANTON: About half a year now... Six or so months? Sorry, I forgot already... It's been a long time since, and I really don't get to talk about it with anyone... I'm sorry...

SERRA: Aww, don't stress yourself out over the details...

ANTON: Yeah, I guess...

SERRA: I can't blame you... We can only call during the perigee of Luna 2 and Yggdrasil. It only happens every three or so months after all...

ANTON: Yeah...

SERRA: ... Anton...

ANTON: Yes?

SERRA: It's been... Lonely here... Without you...

ANTON: Haven't you made any friends yet?

SERRA: Haha, I did, I did. I made quite a bunch, all from different regions of Yggdrasil... All of them were forced to separate from their families too, ever since the stratification. I don't really understand why they had to move us here. Sure, we probably have higher mental capacities or whatever special stuff the praetors claim we have, but couldn't we just have continued studying in Yggdrasil? They could've just made a new place for us or something like that... After all, we just passed a stupid examination, that shouldn't make us too different from the rest of the inhabitants of Yggdrasil, am I right?

ANTON: Haha, you're probably right...

SERRA: Hey, I missed that!

ANTON: Missed what?

SERRA: Hearing you laugh! People here are way to serious...

ANTON: Is that so?

SERRA: Yeah... Oh, by the way, how's your exam preparations going? You are going to take the exam right? I really wish we could be together again...

ANTON: Oh... Serra, about that... It's just... How do I say this...

SERRA: Hmm? Any problems?

ANTON: It's just... Agh, how do I even begin saying this...

SERRA: Hey, if it's bothering you, don't worry about it! It's not that important...

ANTON: But it is! I have to tell it to you now, it's just that... I can't...

SERRA: Anton...

ANTON: Agh.

SERRA: Anton...

ANTON: Yeah?

SERRA: Could you raise your hand up for me? Raise it towards where Luna 2 is right now...

ANTON: O-okay...

SERRA: It's about time for the intersect. I want to be as close to you as possible. I know, it's silly. Even if you raise your hand up like that, we'd still be miles and miles apart... It's just that... I really... Want to reach out and... And... And hold you...

ANTON: Serra...

SERRA: I'm... I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. It's just that I miss you... A lot...

ANTON: Serra, please...

SERRA: Yeah... Sorry...

ANTON: You're... Making it even harder for me... Please... Stop crying...

SERRA: Sorry...

ANTON: Serra, listen... I... I guess I'd just have to tell this to you blunty... Please do not hate me Serra, but we... We can't be anymore!

SERRA: Huh? What do you mean?

ANTON: Serra, it's just that... Five years... Would be way too long... I'm sorry, I couldn't wait for you... I moved on Serra... It's my fault, I gave up... I'm... I'm sorry...

- CONNECTION CUT OFF -

ANTON: Serra? Serra?!? Serra?!?

- VOLUME REDUCED, ENHANCING VOLUME -

ANTON: Whoah... What the... What in the world is that light?

- VOLUME INCREASED, RENORMALIZING -

ANTON: Hello? Serra? Serra?!? Answer me please! Are you still there? Serra? Serra!

Ad Continuum Chapter 2 Episode 7

Episode 7! Buhhh... Anyway, full view here, as usual.



A little behind the scenes if you may.

So here's to the 7th episode of Chapter 2 of Ad Continuum. Still steadily improving, still trying out new styles. It's been fruitful thus far I would think, but I still have a lot more bases to cover, both art-wise and story-wise.

Yes, that is a 1 after the chapter title. The astute (hey, I've been using that word a lot, hehe) would say that there would be a part 2, and truly there would be. After this multipart episode concludes, I intend to end Chapter 2.

Also, I've been experimenting with new planning styles; I used a storyboard style on this one. The dialogues were a bit impromptu, but I sort of already had an idea what the characters would say. If I feel like it, I might upload a scan of the storyboard some time, maybe on one of the chapter enders.

That should be it, see you all on the next ride!
