Comic’s up. Thank you all again for your patience yesterday.
In other news, I received a fanart from Saokara yesterday. Her take on a teenaged Selkie, with Sar’Teri-style markings:
Thank you, Saokara!

Todd: So, what's going on up here?
Avery: Remember what Sai Fen said earlier about celebrating the sale of that eel?
Avery: It's actually a big deal for them.
Avery: Engaging in trade, in some commerce, means new opportunities, new potential.
Avery: A lot of them want to celebrate the arrival of opportunities, of chances at business, of revitalizing amd enriching their lives.
Avery: If you recall, Jin'Sorai are the "Artisan and Storyteller" Clan.
Avery: They're big on celebrating publicly.

Jin'Sorai parties are the ones that get the cops called on them
You have reaaaaally managed to convey teenage hijinx incoming in that last panel. Beware theater kids. (says the former one.)
Oh god, I just realized, what is Jin’Sorai but an entire clan of theater kids?
Oh god.
You’re right.
Duck & Cover!
Right? That explains so much, lol.
Applying the same logic and based on the basic description on page 401……
Tel’Dora: nerds (read books and study and make science project)
Mor’Kama: goths or other types outcasts (may be into weird religions or stuffs)
Sar’Teri : jocks
(Only based on my limited, media-derived understanding of US high schools, so feel free to expand, correct and invent)
Human or Sarnothi, twins are always up to something.
Ain’t no party like a Jin’Sorai party cause a Jin’Sorai party don’t stop
Amateurs. A Rakdos party is a flop if anyone’s in a condition to tell about it afterward.
A Rakdos party doesn’t properly begin until the screaming stops being joyful.
How’s your computer going? What fixed it?
My computer’s not in any inoperable state, I think I may have just needed a graphics driver update and to let it shut off more regularly.
That look on the twins’ faces…
Be very afraid. Hopefully Selkie doesn’t learn *too* much…
Heh heh heh. I just made moar popcorn.
I worry worry about stuff like this; where you have conspiratorial grins. Images like this keep me up at night.
I mean the twins and Saokara’s excellent image, is four conspiracies right there. The twins count as three, each of them has a secret one, and the one they both share plus as a guitarist, Selkie is planning on taking over the band…
Wouldn’t her claws get in the way of the frets? I imagine they’d be a great boon at picks, but I’ve tried using a fingerboard on an instrument with long nails and it’s awful. Maybe she just trims the claws on her left hand. Go Bass Player Selkie!
Hmmmmmmmm… So the Jin’Sorai are going to be a big hit at the local surface colleges’ art departments. 😛
Ooooh! Saokara hit on a pretty clever point with her fanart!
If Selkie’s father is Sar’Teri (strongly suggested, but ultimately unconfirmed at this point) but she looks entirely Jin’Sora as a child, the markings that manifest at puberty might reveal the other half of her heritage! That’d be neat!
…and drama/plotline generating! You might want to steal this idea, Dave.
