Hopefully this clears up some of the possible confusion about the last page. We will get more explanation later, but we at least get some of the basics...

What would you do if you saw everything going on, all at once?

I think it would be the sounds that would drive me bonkers.

I suppose that would be the worst of it. Everyone, I think, would react in different ways.

You can see that you pretty much guessed right last time. :)

Also, how is Mercy allowed to bring a cigarette into a trance state conversation? Are those things *that* tied into her identity?

Willpower, man.

And they are a large part of her self-image... :P

Hahahaha I just love the arguing xD

This dream/illusion must be really good, when Ghoul doesn't want to give it up that easily...

Thanks! IT probably won't be the last arguing in this comic. :P

Like he said in the last update, Ghoul has been reliving the best times of his life. And now Mercy wants to take that away.

She is LITERALLY ruining his cool dream. You called it last time. :)

This is no time for a stroll down memory lane. ;)

Nope. It's time to face the EVERYTHING! XD

Memory Lane has a strange allure, though.

If that happened to me, I'd probably forget most of it--just like I do in real life. ^^

And that did answer my question. :)

You had it figured out! And see, I promised answers were coming soon!

(There will be more explanation... later.)

Yes, you did. And I took it to the bank. ^^

I think seeing everything would either be really great or pretty dang terrible.

Professor Etheric 26th Jan 2016, 1:08 PM

It's all in how well you handle it. The most likely scenarios involve either going mad or fleeing...

Is Autumn Bay, NY close to Mapleton, ON (IronGate)?

Professor Etheric 26th Jan 2016, 6:33 PM

Autumn Bay is approximately 225 miles from Mapleton, ON. It is much closer to Kingston, ON.

I had a memory spike like that once...after accidentally inhaling leaded gas fumes while trying to check how much gas was in the tank of my dirt bike. ...woooooowwwwww....

Well, one way that shamans and the like get to see visions and the like (and, by the rules I am working under here, get to the same state Ghoul and Mercy are in right now - later bits will explain a bit more) is to achieve a state of chemically-assisted altered consciousness.
