XRia: I don't want any of that! I want to go home!
Zeke: Sorry, carino (honey). I was talkin' options. Not miracles.
Ria: ... everything's so different. Everything they do, it's different. And clean, and... even. Nobody yelling, nobody hugging, you know? Nobody cares about me any more.
Zeke: I dunno. The redhead as hired me was touchingly worried about you.
Ria: Travis is okay. But I'm just this thing he got saddled with. Same as I got saddled with this kid. I'm his job. He wants to be good at his job. What do I do?
Zeke: Make a new home.
Ria: How?
Zeke: God, kid, I dunno. I had the Army. After that, it was friends from the Army, friends from the Tallboys, the blackout crew I run with -- they more or less friends by now, I guess.
Ria: ... Reckon you're better at friends than me.
Zeke: I guess. Friends one way or the other, anyhow.
Ria: Oh. They're back. ...How good at friends?
Zeke: Well, either they're friends with me, or they're friends with Senor Rifle. One way or the other.
Zeke: Sorry, carino (honey). I was talkin' options. Not miracles.
Ria: ... everything's so different. Everything they do, it's different. And clean, and... even. Nobody yelling, nobody hugging, you know? Nobody cares about me any more.

An assassin, a disgraced paladin, and a ninja accountant walk out of prison. Their mission: find out the secret of the Clockwork Boys. Not dying is optional.

We signed on my house Thursday! Operation Screaming Panic Deathmarch Move now begins. Which, ah, may have something to do with Friday's comic posting on Saturday. It's at times like these that I regret having over fifteen hundred books in my house...
Since I forgot it Tuesday: Spiderforest's Comic of the Week is Sakana No Sadness. It's a wee little story on why building yourself a robotic girlfriend may not be the cleverest move after all. Extraordinarily funny and very well drawn; I recommend you all go have a look.
