Transcript: Chapter 2, Episode 28
In the shadowy basement, Blaze’s leg’s are barely visible as he’s pinned high up against the wall by Alastor’s smoky form. His coat, scarf, and one of his shoes lie on the floor below them.
Alastor’s clawed hands tear Blaze’s shirt open as he lets out a startled gasp.
With Blaze stripped to the waist, Alastor holds Blaze’s wrists against the wall above his head and leans in, their lips approaching each other’s.
Blaze lets out a small puff of his life’s breath.
With a mischievous smile, Blaze turns his head away and bites down on his breath before it can reach Alastor’s mouth.
A close shot shows Alastor’s mouth as he bares his teeth, then opens his mouth wide.
Alastor bites down on the side of Blaze’s neck, and Blaze grits his teeth in shock.
Upstairs, the homeowner’s eyes go wide with fear as she hears Blaze’s scream through the basement door.
Blaze clutches Alastor’s back, tendrils of smoke wafting around his fingers. As they hover against the wall, their legs are intertwined.
Alastor turns Blaze to face the wall, exposing his elaborate back tattoos.
Blaze lets out several puffs of breath as he gasps with exertion, sweat trickling down his face. He murmurs, “mmh…” then pauses.
With a wicked glance over his shoulder at Alastor and asks, “That all you got?”
A repeated “thud, thud, thud” echoes in the darkness.
As the thudding continues, the homeowner crouches behind her kitchen counter island, clutching her knife and salad greens while she trembles in fear.
In the basement, brief glimpses show Alastor’s body pressed against Blaze’s from behind. Blaze gasps, “This… is…”
“…so… unprofessional…”
A close-up of Blaze’s mouth shows him biting his lip in pleasure and moaning softly.
Blaze’s fingernails dig into the plaster. Copious tears pour down the homeowner’s terrified face as she hears his nails scratching down the wall.
Looking worn out and satisfied, Blaze lets out several puffs of breath as Alastor hovers over his shoulder with a wicked grin.
Blaze turns his head, allowing his breath to waft into Alastor’s mouth.
A cropped shot shows Blaze’s bare arm and back as Alastor hovers behind him. Text reads, “An extended, R-rated version of this episode is available on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/bob_artist – 6 extra panels, 9 extended/uncropped panels.
A logo appears: Into the Smoke. Intothesmokecomic.com
An image shows nine ghost hands converging to pet Otto, a content fat black cat. Each hand has several names written on it. Text reads: Special Thanks to my Patrons. Pledge on Patreon at patreon.com/bob_artist. The words “Pledge on Patreon” are crossed out and replaced with the words, “Pet Otto.” An additional URL reads intothesmokecomic.com.
As promised, there is an extended version of this episode available on Patreon! Sign up for the Bonus Tier on Patreon to read it – and to see all past extended episodes, deleted scenes, and extras too!
The extended version includes 6 additional panels and 9 extended/uncropped versions of existing panels. Full disclosure: some of the cut/cropped panels weren’t cut due to the adult-ness of the content but to maintain a consistent mood/tone to the episode for the shorter version. But some of them were definitely cut for the adult-ness, haha. The extended version is a solid R rating.
I highly recommend pledging to read the extended episode and get all the extras. But also, support has dipped since I fundraised back in January to keep the comic running while I worked on my contracted graphic novel, so new pledges are also a great way to help me keep regular updates!
Pledge on Patreon to read the extended episode!
The next episode is already finished and queued, and it’ll go live on August 5! I’ll be spending the next month and a half crunching on graphic novel inks. There’s a possibility I might have to take a slightly longer ITS break after episode 29, depending on my graphic novel progress and Patreon support levels. If I have to, I’ll let you know when episode 29 goes live! (It won’t be like a major hiatus – just possibly a few extra weeks.)
It’s the first of the month, which is the most powerful day for Top Webcomics! And we have a new voting incentive! Vote for ITS on Top Webcomics to see thumbnail sketches of this episode!
