🕑 Added 2018-04-16 03:36:26 +0000 UTC Please pop over to the site for this update - the javascript isn't something I can really replicate here.I wanted to show Roger quite literally falling apart thanks to the snakejerk's ministrations. This was his end, and we won't ever see him lucid again in the present day.
So the whole marriage was a sham, it seems. I don't think this is a terrible shocker, they don't seem to really match up well as a couple. Even for an unageing Copper Roger is too young at nearly 50 to match her Majesty's ~65 years, and the whole thing looked a bit ridiculous up close. It must enrage Alderode though, and very easily allow it to paint Roger Foi-Hellick as the worst and most execrable brand of traitor and fool. This allows them to save face since they seem unable to kill him, and provides a reason for Roger fleeing to Sonorie's side. Assassins or not, surely Alderode can't realise the unimaginably desperate depth of Roger's betrayal.
But! We'll get the full story there next chapter. I'm skipping Wednesday but I'll be back on Friday with Sette and a new scene. Something a little more light-hearted, eh?

Oooh. Insidious! Levels within levels eh?

We must conclude that the secrets they're looking for aren't ones that Roger can willingly give up. Or rather, I can willingly give you a kidney but you're going to have to find a skilled surgeon and go through the gruesome and unpleasant task of cutting it out of me.
If he's willingly giving up secrets then why do they have to probe his mind again? Just confused

Wow. This update was exceptional. The animation on the page - such a great idea! But the tilting speech bubbles as well. Such a sense of vertigo. I'm really impressed!
