Author Notes

Introducing Rain Delay Quickies: goofy little gag comics to keep you entertained while I work on the legit stuff... except even shorter than usual, because there just isn't four panels worth of joke to make the standard 4koma-style setup.

Originally, I had this idea of doing a sort of "Chapter 22 Abridged", recapping the recent lengthy chapter's scenes in a brisk and comedic fashion. I decided against it though, when I realized it was becoming a time-consuming project all of it's own though (when the point of a Rain Delay is that I can whip it up with pretty minimal effort). What you see here are a couple random snippets from that idea, but I'm not 100% certain I'll post more.

All You Need is Love

What can I say? That waiter needed one last encore. XD

Introductions?

Terribly out of character, but it amused me perhaps more than it should have for that reason. Don't try this at home though, kids.

Funny Cat Pictures All Day Long

Aiken and Kellen are like the only significant characters that were actually absent during the last chapter. I almost included a scene with them - I really wanted to - but I genuinely had nothing for them to do. They're just a pair of single twenty-something siblings bumming around their apartment on Valentine's Day with nothing really to discuss or do. So I tried to come up with whatever mindless dull dialogue I could here.
