Miliner Update: Maebe's Escape, part 2

Maebe stood near the training dummy, giving it the occasional tap with her foot.  It had been 2 weeks since she arrived, and the dummy never obeyed.  Her shoulders were slumped, her eyes turned away from the spectacular view.   When the wind blew her hair into her eyes, she blinked rapidly, her eyes watering.  She did not move the hair back to its usual place.

There were a few other sim fu hopefuls in the training area, but as they walked by she hunched her shoulders further.   One of the other neophytes achieved her white belt and paused to show it off, and as the others broke into a smattering of applause, Maebe slipped silently through the gate and down the path.

Miliner Update: Maebe's Great Escape, Part I

The air of Shang Simla was only warm compared to the chilled and metallic air of the rumbling airplane that had deposited Maebe, minus airfare and associated expenses, into the bustling airport.  The airport was almost a tourist town in its own right, and the only difference between there and home was the plastic knick-knacks being sold.  Even the fast food places were the same.

Instead of there being a hostel in one part of town, and extravagant hotels in another, all tourists were isolated way up on high ground, struggling students and rich jet-setters alike.  It was beautiful, and felt extravagant, and certainly kept people too tired to complain.  Just getting up the stairs could make anyone feel like a sim fu champion.

The breeze, which was now decidedly cool, carried the damp scents of the city-town up and around the hills.   Home, Twinbrook, smelled swampy and green - Shang Simla smelled damp and green.   It was a difference that very few people could appreciate.

Familiar insect noises cried and fluttered, like a heartbeat.   The wind rustled the bamboo leaves, sounding like someone had thrown the next chapter of their book to the breeze.  From a distance, a tinny stereo belted out a local favorite, all strings and wind instruments, and the music wafted up to the hostel along with the scent of something that was obviously fried and also, just as obviously, delicious.

Maebe hovered on the porch.   She sighed, and whispered softly, "If only I hadn't sold my guitar..."  Gently, with pizzicato steps, she let herself in, found a bed, and dreamed of the next day and the wisdom and peace she would find.

...goods store on a fine collection of pain relievers and bandages.  She took as many hot showers as the hot water tanks in the hostel would allow.  She took to pacing rather then sitting down.

Maebe had yet to hear from her parents.  The last text message she received, before shutting off her phone, was from her cousin.  Toni had wanted to know why Maebe had stopped answering.

scones thanks, Ocelot protests

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words and encouraging comments.   The feedback on the cakes has been so nice that it is basically overwhelming.  But in a very good way!

As I've mentioned in passing before, I have some frayed cartilage in my wrist, which causes some discomfort.   For a long time now I've been scared of making it worse, and I refused to do many of the things I love.  But for various reasons I decided to just go ahead and draw and paint and get my confidence back up and do a whole heap of cakes - and right now I obviously feel like that worked out!

Now, I really don't know what to do, but go back to the regularly scheduled lunacy!  ♥

FIRST - read this:

(and then the comic below will make more sense)

Or not, but it's a fantastically done legacy and you may get hooked.  You have been warned!

But poor Ocelot, can't help but identify with the antagonist.  :(

Here's a true fact about orchids:
When they die their ghost hops on-line and orders several replacements.   Plus some other orchids that happened to be on sale.    It's true!  There's no escaping them!

Miliner Project: Mercurial Maebe

 

through the fruit trees and mystery bushes and overgrown lettuces and hid away from ears and eyes in 

Miliner Project: Prom is fun?

How about some Flashbacks this Friday? 3 mini Ocelot comics

Things to know:  I started working on the Miliner Project as a webcomic after gen 3 had already been born - but I love my legacy founder Ocelot.   So here he is, working on starting the legacy.  Go, Ocelot, go!

Also, I've switched to drawing the bubbles.   It is much faster, but looks worse.  Hopefully I will get better?   Because each bubble took 10 to 30 minutes to set up correctly, and it was adding up.

mini comic: Trumblur Questions

And here is yet more proof that I'm woefully behind on comics.  Look, Aurata is even smiling in her sleep.  Maybe she will be happy again once she hits reaches her teens?  Hahaha.

P.S.  It's supposed to be a cat.
