(Bug Comic) This comes right after "Elliott Dorm" (and the NSFW one of him dreaming), and the same time as Farm Boys and Fire Bryan was shaken awake by his roommate, who told him he had to be at the Dean's office by 9 AM, because along with his grant to study bugs, there was some other prize that went with it; and a certificate and some sort of little ceremony, maybe with the press present. This is all news to Bryan, whose last clean shirt was trashed the previous night. He doubts anyone would care about some obscure University award, but his Mom would want a photo, so he'd better score a decent shirt... before 9AM on a Saturday. So Bryan and Staci (his roommate's girlfriend and a high school friend of Bryan's) are in Spencer's, a 24 hour drugstore/general store, poking through the limited selection of clothes. Bryan thinks lizards died for this shirt. Staci doesn't think the "dead lizard" shirt looks too bad, but she knows that anything with sleeves will just end up on Bryan's closet floor. If he didn't get cold in the winter,(and have to be in public) he'd never wear shirts or shoes at all. Bryan sometimes wishes (in what he thinks of as "his unworthy moments") that Staci was a guy, but that would not only alarm and annoy Nate, but Bryan would definitely fall in love with Staci, and he's never going to fall in love with anyone again, ever. Staci thinks that Tobias wasn't the angel that Bryan thought he was; but they never talk about him, and Tobias is dead anyway. ___________________ The junk in the store is a mix of Daz and painted stuff, though there is one outfit of Prae's on the rack and Billy T's cowboy boots on the floor, and I think that is Coflek-Gnorg's creepy version of the Roomba (it's from a freebie called Vending Crew). I was trying to get a sort of Pacific Northwest early-morning-with cloud cover light, but it looks like I ran out of green pixels instead:0. Also Bryan's hair looks unusually neat because Staci took a comb to his head ;) The adorable (and practical) Staci is GypsyAngell's Natalia for V4 (RDNA). I thought her dress was Powerage's SF Funky dress, but I have to go find the Readme.
