XKris: -- some sort of revitalize Lowtown thing. The idiot who runs it was telling me all about it at Masquerade.
Lena: Tell me this isn't the person you tried to drop a fountain on.
Kris: That's the one.
Lena: Oh, god.
Kris: It's obviously doomed, but I know you perk up whenever they start talking about urban renovation. So I'll tell him I've changed my mind and I'm just terribly interested in his little project --
Lena: Kris, you nearly dyed him pink. I doubt he'll want to see you, much less let you near his work.
Kris: Who cares what he wants? I'm a Feuerborn. My father could pay his project budget twice over from what I'm allowed in pocket money. Not that he would pay into a project like that, of course. But he might. Weston Purdue will let me do whatever the hell I want. He can't afford anything else.
Lena: ...I see.
Kris: So focus on what we want. We're going to need something inside the project, otherwise we won't be able to spy on it properly. But it can't be anything too complicated or high-profile. We don't want that much attention. A low-level job that gets us access but doesn't keep us too busy to watch everyone...
Lena: Sane people call that 'an internship.'
Kris: You are making my beautiful spy mission boring.

I think I owe AlpineBob a candy bar or something -- he guessed my punchline in the comments. Dammit, AlpineBob!
And, yes, extremely late comic, no filler, things did not go as expected, I'm sorry. And double-sorries to those of you who tried to access the comic, starting sometime last week, and got redirected to UglySpamville -- yeah, site was hacked. I spent a fair bit of Monday cursing and cleaning up after some asshat who'd left base64 crap at the top of every file on the site -- and I do mean every file, close to 600 of them. Major props to RanJado, the Spiderforest site admin, for helping me sort that out before I went insane.
There is a very real chance that Friday's comic will also be late, but I'm praying to be back on track after that. Stupid spammers. Stupid overly-full life....
