Chapter: A Night To Remember, Spring 1912
Characters: Lam Len, Winston Coward
Location: R.M.S. Titanic
Got my Titanic tribute in just in time for the anniversary. It would have been perfect had this been Thursday’s comic, but given the vagaries of beginning this plot lo many years ago, I’d say it worked out much closer than could be expected!
Good work Alex. You could have padded with a ‘what happens when you’re not really consious, possessing another person, when they/you get knocked unconsious’ episode.
Panel 2 looks like it’s right out of A Night To Remember. The first time I ever heard of the Titanic when I was a kid.
I think I see at least one Elder Sign stone still in the box. So what was taken? Also concussions have consequences. I’m glad to see you are not just letting Winston shake it off.
Winston, just about everyone on those little boats needed to find somone. And likely missed their presence for many, many years.
Personal info: for whatever reason, I’ve known about the Titanic from before “A Night To Remember” but the story hit a bit more closely when I moved into central Denver, not far from the Molly Brown House.
And then there was the morning when my clock radio woke me to the end of the film’s soundtrack with all of the disaster signals and human cries. *shudder*
I understand that everyone here approaches the material differently, but I believe one of my previous lives ended in one of the air or sea disasters of the early 20th century. Perhaps going down on that very ship.
Alex, thanks for treating this respectfully. (OTOH, I still appreciate that scene in The Time Bandits….)
And Eddi, yes, I wonder WHAT a certain person removed from that box.
Final comment for a while: I’m still wondering if this is a case of maintaining equilibrium along the timeline and something/someone else will be sacrificed to the sea for saving even part of the Elder materials.
We shall see.
