Much as I hate to admit it, I never got to the last chapter. Stopped about halfway through, said the hell with it, and rented the movie. It's one of three books (the others being Ulysses and something by one of the Brontes) that I started and never finished...

But as it happens, both pieces are used in Evangelion. :)

--- Quote from: BenRG on 01 Mar 2015, 12:08 ---Seriously, I'm honestly expecting the siblings to go running through the forest chased by beasties real and imagined. As they vanish over a hill, you see a rather annoyed Alice snapping one monster's neck with one hand whilst blasting another back through a tree-trunk using a nanotech kinetic blast (shades of Mass Effect biotics) with the other hand.

They'll arrive in town and find no-one with the possible exception of a night watchman around. Gavia will spend a whole strip calling Ardent an idiot. Ardent will insist that someone has to come along and, reluctantly, Gavia agrees to wait with him, sitting at the base of a statue in the town square. Next panel is Jack and possibly Miss Margaret Wheelwright waking them up as the square fills up as the town awakens post-dawn.

It's difficult to judge, by my guess is that Chapter 2 will probably end with the end of the initial conversation between Ardent, Gavia, Maggie and Jack. Ardent will be complaining about how everyone is willing to give Gavia a free pass because her being mad with him "explains everything". The very last panel will probably be the scene below reflected in Alice's eyes as she watches from the eaves of the roof of a nearby building.

Chapter 3? My guess it will start with Alice on the roof; her concentration is broken by Doc, who just happens to live in that apartment. By his conversation with Alice, we learn a bit about her background and connection with the town (I'm expecting her to be older than she looks by decades). Meanwhile, the serious 'The Origin of the Witch' strips will be balanced with Ardent and Gavia exploring the town with their two new acquaintances.

Ben, I gotta ask. Do you really believe this is what will happen, or are you just having fun spinning the plot in your mind?

BenRG:
@Loki,

As a general rule, the further into the future my predictions go, the less likely they are. However, I'm willing to stand up and be counted about the run through the forest and sleeping in the town square. That's what I think will happen in this chapter.

Gladstone:
My theory used to be that BenRG was actually Jeph, participating in the discussions using a fake profile so he could bounce some of his ideas off the forum crowd to see what managed to stick.  But some of his recent crazy shipper ideas have changed my mind.  Sorry, Ben, looks like you really are one of us.

Gooble-gobble!
