Not the best time for that, hon.

For those who don't remember because of all the junk that's happened thus far, this is the EXACT SAME NIGHT in which Melody stayed the night at Emily's house, and the Boogeyman dragged Emily under her own bed. Right before the whole madness with Samael.

Schedule-wise, we can assume Melody finally got to the Orphanage about 8-ish, when the kids have already gone into the bedroom, but not quite settled down for the night. Meaning bedtime was about 7-ish at Emily's house, and everything has occurred within an hour.

Why was it dark then? It's frickin' November, and according to a calculator online, on that day the sun would have set at about 4:30. Give or take.

For those wondering what the deal was with yesterday's comic: APRIL FOOLS!

I'll be fixing it, as I did intend a page for yesterday - so go re-read and comment and junk. And if any of you were hoping to read more of EpicSaga, I've made a page, and I actually do intend to continue the story. I have a lot of cool stuff planned, it's really not intended as a joke comic.

I actually considered a gag comic with Melody and Death, being all fanart-like and amateurish (moreso than usual), but I decided it was a lame idea, and would have followed the premise that I have gone mad or died, and a new writer/artist took over. I like the insanity possibility, but that was kinda late in the game, and I fear that if I do claim death, I might be tempting fate and keel over.

On that note, if I do die before finishing Melody & Macabre, pretend Scene 20 was the last of it. It gave a good wrap-up, even if it had very very poor closure.
