Gunsolo noticed that Theresa's hair is considerably longer now than it was in previous chapters. In fact, if you go back and look at chapter 5, you'll see that her hair was just down to her shoulders. Now, it is a bit past her shoulders and in a pony tail. We've been purposefully growing out her hair a bit since chapter 4 but did so in stages. Gunsolo asked how long it has been since chapter 5 so here's the official timeline of MotA thus far. Instead of giving specific dates I'm noting time as relative to the present day. I'm also rounding to the nearest month.

Eleven months ago

Theresa travels into the subway tunnels to commit suicide and meets Chrystaline. Chrys drags Theresa to the Fool and they team up with William to rescue Melody from the Machine Intelligence. As detailed in Chapter 1: More Heavens and Earths.

In other news!

Keith is having a blitz commission sale. He's offering full-color, single character portraits for just $25. This is a serious bargain folks. The number of slots he's offering is limited so I'd leap on it while you've got the chance. You can find details here.

Okay! We'll have a new Bricks of the Arcana on Friday and we'll be back next week with a new page of chapter 6. See you then!

Hm... I don't remember reading Narrow. Nor do I find it somewhere in the archives.

And I just noticed that several of the wallpapers in the Extras section don't load. Just wanted mention that.

I guess it's a universe boundary of some sort, going all around the Fool thus determining its size.
Probably best not to touch it. Smile

Interesting timeline, that means Theresa held a grudge for about three months between chapters two and three.
I thought it was just a few days, two or three weeks at most.

Where would you place Fly Away Home? Several years ago, right?

LOL Yes, she's certainly paying for not being a geek.

Was wondering why I was craving a "snicker-snack" when I read this. Wink
