So THAT'S what they are up to...

But who, exactly, do you suppose the "human element" are?

Between that Shan fellah in the TWC drive and the adventures of a certain mollusk, I would say that the heralds of the Elder Gods are definitely making their slimy presence known already...

Edit: And dang I forgot MnP... I don't mind him so much.

Well, I cannot speak to them loving candies. Souls, yes, but not necessarily candies.

If sometime in the story he says ''I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids'' I'm gonna crack up.

I. Freaking. LOVE. KMFDM.

I've been a huge fan of them ever since the video for "A Drug Against War". Several of their songs are on my playlist for working on AB.

*highfive*

I'm guessing that he's talking about the Starry Wisdom bunch, probably as snackies for the visiting Great Old Ones.

Aw, not the old gods. They sit around all day saying how much it was better when they were young, and yelling at kids to keep off their darn celestial lawns.

I like the way that you're showing the links for different events back to the previous pages, makes it so much easier to follow the story especially as there are a lot of threads and characters. Very clever!

That's a trick I learned previous to rebooting. I know I have a lot going on, and though I sometimes rehash things from a different POV, I aso don't want people to get lost.

Also, I figure that a web-based medium should utilize its web-based nature to the fullest, and this is just ONE way to do that.

(It will get trickier if I ever try to go to print...) :P
