Chapter: De Mal a Pior
Mas qual Manel? O Manel!
O meu colega Manel, o da minha turma! (cf. A página do Elenco, que foi actualizada com a nova rapaziada lusitana que finalmente tem rosto e nome).

Acho que nunca gastei tanto tempo numa página como nesta e porquê?
Pois é, por isso mesmo, por causa dos CINCO TRACTORES QUE TIVE DE DESENHAR!
Eu sou muito esperta, ok, eu escrevi uma cena com tractores e depois fiquei muito surpreendida quando a cena efectivamente chegou e eu tive de desenhar os meninos 🙁
Felizmente, por uma vez na minha vida, eu pensei antes de fazer as coisas e arranjei uma referência visual:
É simples, eficaz e Duradoura™
↓ Transcript
5 panels.
Panel 1, shaped like the aim of a rifle.
Maurício runs towards the tractor, and another Lusitanian on the inside extends a hand towards him.
Panel 2:
Two microwave gun shots come from above with loud "CHAUM" noises while Maurício enters the tractor with a jump!
Panel 3:
The tractor's driver, a pale dark-haired man, looks at the Foreigner through the rear mirror.
Eurico: Holy Mary, does it scream.
Maurício (off panel): I know it screams, Eurico, I KNOW!
Panel 4,5:
Maurício tries to find place for himself inside the tractor with the two other Lusitanians. The one that is not driving has a bright yellow devil mask with a medical cross on the forehead and googly eyes, and they're holding a shotgun. Maurício's leg hits Eurico's shoulder as he tries to fit in.
Maurício: Let's get out of here: Manel was just telling me these guys don't even have an Augur on them.
Eurico: Who's this Manel?
Maurício: You know, Manel!! My classmante!!
Márcia: Buddy, we didn't bring any Manel tonight. Also, what? No Augur? I thought it was, like, protocol.
Maurício: Do you take me for a fool, Márcia? Wasn't I just now talking to my classmate Manel, Márcia?
Eurico: If you take a moment to think about that Manel you just spoke to, you'll probably realize you were tricked on your own.

YUS, SMORT!! all the trucks are beautiful btw, in their own trucky way. i imagine cramping 3 characters in that tiny little space was also somewhat tedious
I want to think the truck idea was a good idea, but trucks turned out to be rather complex to draw and over!! However, much like everything else, the more you draw it the easier it becomes to draw
OK so in English those types of vehicles are tractors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor
Are they called trucks in Portuguese?
Otherwise interesting head trip of a story and I would love to see an empire wide map.
Everyday I learn something new
Well I am a teacher. Maybe that is why it works like that?
Ah well, great story. I hope you continue to play in this world after this story is done.
I love how only one side + Fausta can hear the screams of the robot. It’s so dark
