"If the politics of the country are now ruling the school, perhaps a move to France is in order after all."

by **Diego Zapata** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 8:25 pm

"Yeeaah... I can't really argue with that. No offense but it's getting really British around here," he said teasingly.

by **Basil Benson** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:02 pm

"It amuses me that nearly 400 years after your hard won independence your people still think of us as 'The Man'."

by **Diego Zapata** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:19 pm

"More like 200 and something. But don't some of your people still think of us as 'The Colonies'? Besides, you're more 'The Old Man'."

by **Basil Benson** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:37 pm

"Not really. That's a stereotype.

I personally think of you as the lot that made my uni experience very strange . " He joked.

by **Diego Zapata** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 11:03 pm

"And not the ghosts, goblins, and people with laser eyes? 'Cause that's the weird for me."

by **Basil Benson** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 11:16 pm

"If Americans didn't make this place, I wouldn't have experienced any of it.

So I'm blaming You. You personally Diego."

by **Diego Zapata** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 11:47 pm

"This place does seem like something I would dream up. Lord knows I've drawn for it for my comic."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 12:26 am

"And who am I in your comic?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:08 am

"A very sharply dressed invisible alien named Ort. Head archivist for the colony."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:23 am

"Boooooo mate, booooooo.

I was sure it was Zil Binzun."

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:29 am

His eyes lit up, figuratively this time.

"Ooh, that's better! Sounds like a spy. A spy that gets laid a lot. He's totally a spy now."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:31 am

"Just remember me when you get that Eisner award."

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:30 pm

"I'll name you in my speech. I imagine there's a speech. And a cake. And a Netflix deal."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 2:25 pm

"You're going to have to ramp up the sexual tension if you're aiming to be the next Rachel Smythe my friend."

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 3:25 pm

"Romance isn't my genre. I think my total lack of wooing skill would be proof of that."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 4:10 pm

"Perhaps that's how you practice then.

Write some romance. Share it somewhere not your main account. See what happens."

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 4:48 pm

"I accept your probably embarrassing challenge Love Sensei."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:13 pm

"Who's to be embarrassed in front of if no one knows it's you?" He asked, the cowl tilting again.

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:24 pm

"I'd know. And I dread the comments that I'd feel like I'd have to read."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:39 pm

"If it becomes too much, just dump it. Web comics disappear all the time. "

by **Diego Zapata** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:52 pm

"Fiiine. But it'll be a romantic comedy. About... I have no idea yet."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:42 pm

"Make it a science fiction romantic comedy. You could tie it back into your main comic if it does well.

Make it about the spy." Basil suggests.

by **Diego Zapata** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 12:08 am

"It's a good idea. Kinda ruins the separation. But it's a very good idea, so screw it. Sci-fi espionage comedy romance," he said, mental gears turning.

by **Basil Benson** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 2:36 am

"You can still separate the ideas by putting it in another part of the galaxy your characters haven't explored yet. That way, again, if it bombs, you can pretend that never happened .

And if it does 'Oh whoa look expanded universe this bloke is amazing.' "

by **Diego Zapata** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 3:39 pm

"Yeah, he can be the cool brother of the archivist... or it's a past adventure and/or that's just a cover identity. Because no one suspects the librarian."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 3:08 pm

"Mmm. Don't I know it."

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 3:16 pm

"Are you a spy? 'Cause you can totally tell me if you are."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 3:42 pm

"That's not how the spy game works friend. That's how James Bond keeps constantly getting caught and tortured. Lack of discretion."

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 4:35 pm

"But Basil,"' he mock-whined, "How else will I test my crotch-seeking laser!"

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 4:42 pm

"Why does it have to be my twig and two berries used to calibrate it? Has Colette been bragging to people about my BDE again?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 7:50 pm

Diego made a face. "Dude. Liiittle TMI."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:27 pm

Basil laughed. " Which bit? The bit where I joke about it to relieve my own awkwardness or the bit where that actually happens?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:39 pm

"Either. But it's my fault for bringing up crotch lasers. I should have gone with the frikken sharks with laser beams on their heads."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:42 pm

"Yea it's best to not make references to peoples junk if you don't want them to talk about their junk. I could have made that so much worse on you." Basil agreed, still sounding amused.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:19 pm

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. The guy from Vegas is uncomfortable with dirty talk and can't hold his liquor"

"I'm good at cards though!"

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 11:07 pm

"What games?" He asked.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 11:12 pm

"Believe it or not, I have a great poker face if I try to."

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:12 am

"You willing to prove that?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:30 pm

"Is that a challenge?" he smirked, "Remember, I can see you."
