Transcript: Chapter 2, Episode 15
In the hallway around the corner from the living room, Blaze confronts Evie, looking upset. “Why didn’t you tell me you were murdered?” he asks. Evie replies, “It wasn’t relevant,” and Blaze cries, “Not relevant?!” Evie says, “Let me make this clear, Blaze. There’s a reason I haven’t crossed the veil yet. But that reason has nothing to do with my murder.”
Looking at Blaze intently, she says, “I’m at peace. So you should leave it alone.”
Blaze clasps his hands together and tells her, “If you don’t want him here, I’ll try to find another medium to help him.” Evie replies, “You don’t need to protect me, Blaze. This isn’t about me.”
Her eyes narrow, and she says, “But you need to know what you’re getting into. That man has killed dozens of important people across multiple faiths and traditions. And now someone’s killed him. Is this really the type of mess you want to get mixed up in?”
Blaze bites his lip and puts a finger to his chin, contemplating. He says, “Well, when you put it that way…”
His eyes go wide, and a broad grin stretches across his face. Clasping his hands together eagerly, he says, “It sounds exciting as hell!” In the background, Evie wears a frown of resignation.

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.
A short episode this time, but only because the next one is SUPER long! I had to split it into two episodes, and this was the best point.
Our next episode, Chapter 2 Episode 16, is the LAST EPISODE BEFORE HIATUS! As usual, this will be a working hiatus, meaning I’ll have my head down doing the exact same hours I’m doing while episodes are posting live, only without all the extra exposure that come with episodes going live. ;_;
So if you’re in a position to throw a bit of extra Patreon support my way to help me through hiatus, it’d be greatly appreciated! And don’t forget, we’ll have a big update to the patron credits/petting Otto pic when we come back from break.
I’m scheduling this episode a little earlier than usual because I might still be on the road coming in from out of town today, or just too scrambled to queue an episode. So, at the time of typing this, I’m not sure if I ultimately had time to put up a new Top Webcomics voting incentive. If I did, I bet it’s really good! 😀 And if not, I’ll have a new one up by the next episode.
So I guess the only way to find out is to vote! (I really hope I did put up a new one. I want to believe in myself. 😆 Please, lovely readers, tell each other whether I did!)
