The last time Kaida saw Fudo was page 733. I think last encounters with important people have a tendency to burn themselves into one's minds. This holds especially true for negative encounters.

As you might recall, Celes is ruled by her paranoia. At her introduction, she lived in fear of police. She now fears a different group of people.

FAN ART CONTEST

I just ordered a number of copies of my book, and I figured I would have to do something fun and give a copy away. So, I thought a fan art contest would be fun.

GUIDELINES:
~Let's go with a "friendship" theme.
~Entries must contain at least two Used Books characters. (They don't have to be central characters or good guys.)
~Keep it plausibly canonical. (It's okay to be hypothetical with relationships and what-ifs and set any time in the timeline.)
~Bonus points for recognizable UB settings!
~The rating must be UB appropriate. T+ please! (Basically anything that would pass in a PG13 movie or primetime network TV.)

DEADLINE:
November 6th
FIRST PLACE:
A copy of Used Books: Execution ($15 value)
SEND ENTRIES TO:
Either upload somewhere and PQ me with the link or email usedbooks@comic.com

All entries will be posted on my main comic with a link to the entrant's own project(s) and will later be moved to my fan art archive. I'll have my sister and my good friends Gael and Bethany help pick a winner.

ghostrunner: You need them to display your guns.

Anubis, Peipei, Jonko: Too bad I'm not able to get a job with either. :P

patrickdevine: Hey! Eight words a minute takes real skill!

DAJB: Heh. Celes is used to his special brand of "charm." XD

Tantz: Thanks. It took a few rewrites to get this scene/dialogue to flow naturally and include all the necessary points.

amanda: I've missed Toyo too. I was looking forward to his reappearance the whole time I was working with the previous arcs.
