Another,
Thursday_Prompt. I probably went a bit overboard with this in terms of length, but I ended up using it as some setup to future events within my universe. You don't have to have read any of the other stories to understand this one. In fact it's deliberately vague when it comes to referencing other events. Those who have read the story that comes before this though probably will figure out what's going on at the beginning.I do hope the writing came out alright though. I typed up most of this while I was trapped on a 10+ hour flight yesterday after a relatively sleepless night and did the editing off and on today while struggling with a fever. I did have another insert image planned like the last one, but I just don't have the time. Plus, it was related to a slightly different ending so I would have had to figure out another moment to draw. Anyways, time to try and sleep the illness away.
Edit: Added a bit of dialog for Rüsin to make it clear that he was going to suggest something before getting half his ear lopped off.

Glad you liked it. If you are going to catch up there actually isn't that much so far: two smaller stories I added as a description to two pictures, one much more sizable story (that I went a little overboard on), and then three comic page follow ups to the aforementioned story. Though I will be probably using the Thursday Prompt as an excuse to write more into the setting like I did here.
Excellent, nicely done! Felix and Kaj had better have a good story prepared for when he turns up ;)
Keitèl has seen a lot of history, you captured well how someone can maintain a core morality while becoming a bit blasé about things, such as cutting poor Rüsin’s ear. I have one question about that, wasn't the cut across his chest proof enough that they'd fought? Kind of hard to fake that.
You also have a nice balance between humour and a serious subject matter in this story.
Oh and the bit about Kitsune vision was a nice touch.
btw hope you're feeling better!

Felix and Kaj have no idea what's in store for them. >:3
And yeah, it was interesting thinking about how he would act as a character having been around for so long and killed so many people. I ended up basing him off various Quentin Tarantino characters like Bill, Bud, Wolfe, etc. or at least trying to fit in with that vibe.
I probably should have made Rüsin clearer that he wanted a note or even better a selfie or video since they do have cel phones and then had the idea interrupted by the ear slice. This is what I get for trying to edit it while bedridden with a fever. I'll probably make a slight rewrite there when I can think more clearly.
I'm glad the bits of humor and serious parts worked. I'm always worried about tone with these things.
And yes, I am still sick. I seem to have caught covid on my way back from England. I'm not as bad as I was on Monday though.
