BAM! NARRATION!
I suppose I could have left it a mysterious mystery why Jay said "no" and ended the dream, but honestly, I didn't intend for it to be mysterious. A creepy unicorn was about to get Rhoda's name in the hopes of finding her again outside the dream. Jay did not approve.
Granted, there are other things to wonder about, like whether she knows Rhoda outside the dream. I just meant the basic motivation for trying to end things right then and there wasn't meant to be mysterious.
SPEAKING OF "MYSTERIOUS", I wanted something to call the unicorn other than "the unicorn" without giving a real name. After several rejected real names, I saw "mysterious unicorn" written in the narration, and came up with "Mystucorn".
Which isn't intended as his true name, but given that Mystucorn's regret about "Nightmare" not working for him, maybe he's actually in the market for a nickname.

Right up to the point Grace starts asking her questions about it tomorrow at school? :D

2021-01-30 19:23:45 +0000 UTCWhile this is true, it may be worth pointing out that being here to fix the magic issue doesn't necessarily make one a good person. Motives matter and tactics matter. Most of the time when people use "the ends justify the means" excuse for bad behavior, the means they try to use would actually preclude the end they're supposedly going for, which rather strongly precludes any justification of their means. But even if they could achieve the noble end that they claim with their methods, if there exists a way to get there with less problematic means, there's still no justification. We don't really know enough about Mr. Corn to make a judgement about them. What we do know enough about is apparently Rhoda needs to be brought into the larger group more fully and provided support, as she's likely going to be of significant importance at some point. It's not even clear if Rhoda needs to be part of Tedd's expanding inner circle or not, though they probably have interest in having her there.

2021-01-30 10:05:33 +0000 UTCAt least Mr. Corn seems smarter than his counterparts from the Five Hundred Kingdoms.

2021-01-30 08:15:22 +0000 UTCLook, we don't actually know whether or not he'd a bad person. He seems a bit jerkish, but for all we know, he might be here trying to fix the magic issue too. Granted, or he might be Voltaire in disguise, we don't know

2021-01-30 05:40:34 +0000 UTCEspecially since you only have the unicorn's thought on them actually being a unicorn. ... Wait. Why would anyone who *wasn't* a unicorn want a reputation for seducing virgin human women despite having an anatomy that human women are really not well designed to handle, *especially* if they've not been with anyone else yet? Maybe that should be "especially because they might actually be unicorns."

2021-01-30 05:33:58 +0000 UTCThanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind from now on.
Astariel
2021-01-30 05:30:33 +0000 UTCIf a random unicorn invades your dreams and asks for personal information, that is a red flag. You probably do not want to do that.

2021-01-30 04:46:13 +0000 UTCI never considered that Mystucorn getting information about Rhoda might not be a good thing. I guess I'm too automatically trusting of unicorns.
Astariel
2021-01-30 04:39:56 +0000 UTCWell, that answers a few questions
AstroChaos
2021-01-30 04:39:51 +0000 UTCEvery single panel in this looks like it was fun to draw for different reasons. :) And I like that we get to see and learn a little more about Jay. You write really interesting secondary characters, and as much as I like the main cast, I'm always eager to see more with the new people.

2021-01-30 04:09:19 +0000 UTCI look forward to seeing Jay interact with Susan, Rhoda, and the other main and secondary characters soon.
