C05P38 – Deadly Efficiency
As you may have noticed, Una is friggin tall, which prompted me to renovate my old line-up chart just to keep track of everyone’s height.
And then when I finished it, I thought: Hey, that’d be a kinda cool desktop. So I made one:
1024 x 768
1280×1024:
Enjoy!

Y’know I need to go back and reread this from the beginning again…I don’t know what it is, but I’m starting to get lost in the cast
I don’t like that, because I love the story so far!
It is a big cast, and this chapter definitely zoomed out from the main characters for a bit. Chapter six will be focusing back down again!
See I get the reasoning for the big cast – I do, but I’m having trouble putting names and faces together big time. Heh…
Some of it has to do with all that I’m into at the moment…but I do look forward to seeing certain characters again.
Cool wallpaper. And, another job… Hmmm, that doesn’t sound good.
Re: webcomics and large casts. I have this issue with most every lfwc I read; perhaps I read too many. Going back and doing a re-read every once in a while is almost the only solution I can think of. That or cutting back on the # of comics I read (which I have a little, but I still read a lot).
It doesn’t help that this comic is still in the “growth” phase of the story, where the cast just keeps expanding. We are getting to the point where the main cast will stabilize. There will still be new people to meet, but their involvement in the plot is somewhat of a temporary one.
Lu Pai quietly laughing in the background there is great.
Although I’m sure he’d prefer to be laughing loudly. I just don’t think the Doctor’s ego to take that. He might think himself more “efficient” without Lu Pai at that point…
Oh dear, he’s THAT kinda guy? Well, I guess every assassin has his strengths and weaknesses.
At least Lu Pai snickered. Was Una hamming for an audience intentionally?
Una was probably hamming it up for Lu’s benefit, actually. They’re friends, and Lu’s responsible for getting Una this job with this rather cranky, humorless doctor.
Oh, so that’s what those little black lines were! I did look carefully enough, so I didn’t see the horizontal lines, only the vertical ones. So I thought it was some kind of emphasis on how Lu Pai is bowing his head and staying in the background, perhaps in fearful deference to the lethal assassin.
does una ever cover up that mole under his eye? it seems like something pakku would notice if he’s not careful
That’s a good point — I think Una’s gotten careless about that mole. Perhaps it’s a favorite. Or even a challenge for other people to see through the disguises.
(And since I can’t reply to things on Tumblr — I didn’t mean to make you feel bad with my post!! I don’t mind so much as I was just surprised, and worried I did something wrong. You are fine! No worries!!)
Haha, that’s good to hear! Interesting weaknesses are important in powerful villain(?) types.
(I leave open the possibility that we’re dealing with righteous crusaders of some sort, albeit ones whose methods throw them into deep shadows of moral ambiguity.)
At least *somebody* in this chapter has a sense of humor.
Haha! Wow, now that you point it out, there aren’t really any characters in chapter five other than Una and Lu that actually know what laughter is…I should have picked a different title for this section.
