This was going to be a comic, and I've already finished a a good amount of it, but I think I've already gone too far past the deadline so I'll just post it as a writing section unless the grace period extends. Thanks for the patience and lenience, even if these entries don't end up counting. :'] (EDIT 6/5/24: whoops! Turns out I am illiterate (/j) and did not see the comment on the DTA discussing the deadlines. Next time I will look there for updates, but now it's too late to compile the DTAEs so I would really like to apologize for going past the strongly recommended three-project limit. This whole project was just a mess. Very sorry. /gen) [[This project contains implications of / allusions to fictional death and fictional weaponry / war. Tread carefully.]] (Fullscreen recommended.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Comic 2—See You Writing / Script: Firefly bends down. “I’m going to need you to go up that ladder, Birdie.” Birdie looks scared. “What? Wh---No.” Firefly glances behind them. “Birdie, Topaz will show you your cabin. Listen carefully. Sunspot’s up there, and the others, and they’ve got you. But you’ve got to listen, and you’ve got to get up there.” In the back, the sky turns an odd shade of gray-blue. Birdie shakes his head profusely. He stares at Firefly with wide eyes. Sunspot, in the back, yells something. Birdie’s head is fuzzy. He can’t make out the words. Firefly starts to shiver. They turn to look behind them again, upwards. The sky is yellowing. Wind and dust blows around them, in the middle of the rainforest. Then they turn back. Without warning, Firefly shoves Birdie up the ladder, and Topaz grabs him. “FIREFLY?” Birdie cries. “WHAT’S GOING ON?” His head is spinning. Firefly doesn’t meet his gaze. “I can’t follow you where you’re going,” they reply, projecting over the wind. Propellers on Sunspot’s ship begin to turn. It’s very loud. "WHE—...” Birdie’s voice fades out among the noise. Sunspot gives some kind of salute to Firefly. They salute back. See you, mouths Firefly. The sky is yellow. There is dust everywhere. Topaz is frantically shoving at Birdie to get in a cabin. Before the door closes, Birdie gets a glimpse of a dark shape swallowing up a blast of light. And all he can remember after that is going really fast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
