So, I've been increadibly lazy as of late and SbH has suffered for that, like always. Unfortuneately I have yet to make headway in making myself more realiable updating wise. Therefore, I have a New Plan! SbH will be updated once a week, with multiple page updates. Why update like this? Its complicated, but the jist of it is I get myself behind if I try to do one page at a time, I seem to be better at updating in chunks like I do when I do stuff for Starving Artists. That being said, I feel this new plan of updating will help my story telling, and help the story at least appear to go faster. I hope to get my speed up to do 5 pages a week, but me being as lazy as I am, 3 will probably wind up being my max.
The next Update will be on Monday, with Chapter 6 pages 13-14.

I'm not sure if anyone reads my rants, as of late I havent been taking the time to write much in the Author space, But this time I wrote some ahead of time when I should have been taking notes in class ^_^ so I am prepared!

=================Warning Potential Spoilers================

About Today's Update:
Phoenix is Way too trusting, he's gullible and often in his own little world it seems. I hope I've succeeded in conveying that to this point without having to explain stuff in the comment space. Nick called Phoenix a "Manhoshi" kinda a male version of Mihoshi from the Tenchi Serie's. While both chara's are blonde and totally blissfully ignorent of reality (though Mihoshi may have a better grasp than Phoenix) I really doubt anyone is going to give Phoenix a spaceship or lazer gun (as funny as that would turn out).
Now, about John Rook, he is named after a raptor, that is native to Austrailia called the Johnny Rook, they're mischievious birds with no fear of people, and often torment sheep herder's because they like to eat sheep. They are also known as the "Striated Caracara" but that just sounded like Too weird a name for good 'ol J.R. Part of Chapter 5 and 6 was inspired by a shortstory by Nathaniel Hawthorne, called "Young Goodman Brown", and while I liked part of the premise of that story, I don't like much of the story itself, it's pretty dry and depressing as hell. *note If you go and read "Young Goodman Brown" you'll probably figure out who J.R. is and what he's up to! But that story is pretty boring so chances are you might not make it through.*
Still I just LOVE to Draw Johnny, he's so pretty *huggles J.R.*

Not much else today, next Update's Next Monday ^_^
Till Later
