19: Dappled Moonlight

Well here's an opportunity a wannabe vampire hunter doesn't get every day - she's offering herself up for target practise! Will David's staking skills be up to the job?

I had no doubt you'll land in the finals. Great job!

Thank you Inky, glad to see you making the cut in quite a few categories too. Well deserved and I won't mind at all if you beat me at horror!

Congratulations on your Drunk Duck Awards nomination!

Thanks Niccea and huge thanks to you for all the work you put into the awards.

Pretty cool read. Can't wait for the next installment.

Many thanks, glad you're enjoying it!

David: By the time she's done with her sample narratives, you'll have died of natural causes. Neither of you want that!
Ironscarf at 4:00PM, June 8, 2023
Haha! she's definitely going to have more tall tales to tell than most! Hopefully she's as good at cutting long stories short as she is at cutting folks into little pieces.

She is sexy in a scary odd sort a way.
Ironscarf at 4:59PM, June 4, 2023
Thanks Jason. I think a vampire should take you to a dark place you know you shouldn't be going to, but you just can't help yourself!

With my last comment I meant that I love the comic for this. Sorry if it came out wrong.
Ironscarf at 12:52PM, June 1, 2023
Don't apologise, I absolutely got that and really appreciate it! I think it was my reply that came out wrong. I just meant to say there's more to come and I'm hoping it'll be equally unpredictable. It's great to see readers enjoying it, because I enjoy making it so much!

Hmmmm.....I brought my own stake to penetrate her with.
Ironscarf at 7:59PM, May 31, 2023
Everybody's a vampire hunter these days! I blame Salma Hayek.

David toss that stick away. But you have the perfect Stake to drive into her. Just drop your Pants first.
Ironscarf at 4:47PM, May 31, 2023
She does seem to be asking him to finish her off, so technically speaking that plan might just fit the bill!
PaulEberhardt at 2:37PM, May 31, 2023
I hear it doesn't work unless you also cut off the head and place it between the legs... 😱 It must be hard for an immortal to get a good adrenaline kick out of anything, so Lydia might want to take what she can get. And if it's as hard for her to believe that David has it in him as it is for me, it's still a very gothy thing to do... Or she is fed up in more than one sense, feeling that she enjoyed that supper way too much. Or something else entirely. I honestly have no idea where this is going, but I can't wait to find out.
Ironscarf at 3:47PM, May 31, 2023
Sounds painful! Without giving too much away, this comic was originally intended to be all over in three pages time. I thought I knew exactly where it was going, but these two had other ideas. I can promise you a resolution of sorts in 3, but much more to come should you choose to continue - thanks for reading so far!

Personally I'd rather drive the stake in at daybreak so I had the sun behind me as a back-up but I have a feeling that like me, David will feel she is too cute to die whether she wants to or not but who knows!
Ironscarf at 11:57AM, May 31, 2023
That sounds like a sensible plan of the kind that might secure you a place at slayer school. Unfortunately, vampires are alluring creatures and you absolutely must learn to resist their wicked charms in order to graduate. I mean, where's the fun in that? Hopefully David will see things your way!

I got a "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate." vibe from the last panel. Is she serious or is she jerking his chain? We shall soon find out. Well maybe. ★★★★★
Ironscarf at 8:47AM, May 31, 2023
Glad you picked up on that, I wanted to get close enough without stealing the line exactly! It kind of sums up the moment I thought. 'Is she serious or is she jerking his chain' could well be the tagline of this comic. I don't know if we'll ever find out for sure - maybe not knowing keeps the spark alive!

She does wear dappled moonlight well.
Ironscarf at 7:55AM, May 31, 2023
Always the best complement to dried on blood I feel! The things a girl has to do to get noticed.
Banes at 6:15AM, May 31, 2023
Oh wow, is that really what she wants? This story continues to surprise - I have no idea where this is going! But i do love it, and dappled moonlight as well of course!
