Of course, it means you won't reveal their entire backstories right away.

I don't believe that, but it would be cool.

Yeah...I've got two prequels and two sequels planned. It just sort of...Spiraled.

And I really want to hear what you have to say about this update.

Well, one possibility I just thought of: When she said she "Knows really well that the church takes in orphans without question," maybe she was abandoned by her parents, for no good reason. Just my guess.

I think... that summoned food looks like a giant, multi-yolked egg. Yeah, I don't know. I'm inclined to agree with Chilingsworth.

I think she was abandoned for being a bastard.

Do you mean in the "illegitimate child" sense, or the "horribly irritating person" sense? If it's the former, still "no good reason." If it's the latter, then abandonment might be understandable.

I imagine it is the former. I can't remember which strip exactly but I do remember at one point when one character called another 'bastard' Janine insisted that she wasn't one, she was just 'born six months early' or something along those lines. The rest of the party/everybody else there pretty much ignored this comment, possibly because they didn't hear.

[Goes off for an archive trawl]

EDIT: it's five months premature in the strip called '240 Proof', apparently. (Number 45) And Tinder responds to the 'five months premature' thing with a sad face and Matt stops questioning her about girl on girl action to apologise to her so there was some reaction to her mentioning it.

That's a good point: What is that stuff supposed to be, anyway?

(And I'm not just agreeing because Soupladle agreed with me )

It's some sort of gruel with egg yolks. And no, Janine was not born 5 months premature. Her mom was pregnant with her when she got married.

That sounds kinda unappetizing. But if you're starving...

Anyway, Update today? *prays, makes puppyeyes, and otherwise shamelessly begs*

...That's actually about what I was guessing it was from the looks of it. Nutritionally sound I guess but man, you'd have to be hungry to eat it.

And I meant former rather than latter when talking about which sort of bastard Janine was. I'm slow but something that obvious I can pick up pretty easily - this time it was just my dyslexia playing tricks with me.

I'm kind of disappointed Janine's backstory isn't going to come up properly until the prequels, to be honest: Janine's a very lightly sketched character already so knowing that her backstory (which seems to hold the key to the way she is now) won't actually be delved into properly in Murphy's Law at all is kind of a downer. She hasn't had a lot to do so far apart from hitting on Lloyd and getting freaked out/ upset about things occaisionally. I suppose this story arc may change that a bit by putting her to the fore for once.

I suppose it was always going to be tricky getting the balance right with a core cast of six main characters who are usually dominating the same space. You've got to work harder to bring each of them out individually and as members of the group...

Well, it's basically oatmeal with hardboiled eggs or something? Nutritionally sound, but very bland. Then again, Janine didn't have much to work with either.

Speaking of Janine, like I said: I'm not going to explicitly show what happened to her until the prequel, but in Murphy's Law, I will give enough information for you guys to figure it out.

If you're going to have this, and two sequels, and two prequels, than you should probably start your own website... Though I don't want to join any other forums, which I would have to do to comment on it if you did that.
