                Chapter 1:
                  Introductions 
                  A little hybrid pic of bryce and Photoshop. It just seemed appropriate. |

                "No Free Will for Creatives" 
                  I actually didn't script this one, more or less I came up with
                  it on the fly. I felt that I needed something to more gently
                  introduce the story -- especially it's main character. | 
              
              
                  | 
                "A Paradox" 
                  Novella completes the journal entry. Again, I needed something
                  more to continue on the previous episode. | 
              
              
                  | 
                "Diametric Similars" 
		  So similar and yet so different. Sounds like my friends
and I. This episode connects my little ad lib back in No Free Will For Creative to the script I've already written. If I keep that script is an
even better question.  ^_^

                  | 
                "Orientation" 
                  Perhaps the most loathed of all my college
                  experiences. Everything felt so alien, and yet I wanted to
                  explore and discover my new home for the next four years
                  myself. Instead I was forced into naturalization exercises.
                  Yuck. This is much like the original Orientation, a few little
                  differences.

                  | 
                "Admission" 
                  Miki finally graces the scene. I needed a way for
                  the two characters to mean and this worked the best out of the
                  scores of possibilities I'd come up with. I was also quite lazy
                  in not creating a background, but I thought you'd be sick of
                  lockers by now anyways.

                  | 
                "Admission
                  Continued" 
                  I honestly didn't think that it would take three
                  episodes to do this one script, oh well.
		 | 
              
              
                  | 
                "Admission
                  Concluded" 
                  Novella's dilemma is finally revealed. SO, if you
                  still have no idea where the story may be going for the former
                  half...

                "Forbidden
                  Subjects" 
                  
                  Notice the date! The entry was written nearly four
                  years before "No Free Will for Creative". This is
                  how I'm going to explain Novella's backstory, through
                  journaling and paralleling with current events in the story.

                "Forbidden
                  Subjects Continued" 
                  
                  Another ad lib episode. Originally, Miki was
                  to meet Rama and Rasa before class, but I've been unhappy with
                  the script I wrote since I took a more moody approach to Novella.
                  Besides, Miki is perhaps the second most important character
                  to the story, and I haven't even introduced her dilemma yet!

                "Forbidden
                  Subjects Concluded" 
                  
                  The point here is a subtle one, and really, really
                  subjective. Focus on the expressions and you'll get the
                  meaning.

                "Dualism" 
                  
                  The return of Akisa! And I bet no one even missed
                  her...pity, she's my favorite. I'm still unhappy about the
                  bottom panel, but I still couldn't think of anything else to
                  draw.

                  | 
                "Dualism Continued" 
                  
                  I debated with myself far longer than I should have
                  for this one. I'm not exactly pleased with it, but it does
                  seem to at least work. Akisa is so difficult to write dialog
                  for...

                  | 
                "Dualism Concluded" 
                  
                  I don't know, I just thought more journaling
                  mystique would be appropriate.

                  | 
                "Secrets" 
                  
                  And you thought that it was only Novella who did anything
                  resembling journaling... A bit of a format change here to take
                  advantage of the larger sketchbook I've been using. The image
                  Akisa is drawing is in fact an older one of mine.

                  | 
                "Secrets Continued" 
                  This was part of the original script, one of the
                  last things before Kaze.

                  | 
                "Secrets Concluded" 
                  Kaze's introduction to Novella. The
                  composition notebook in the foreground is a bit oversized, but
                  oh well. The title reads "Trace", which is somewhat
                  of a DE in-joke. Oh and, Kaze is a male character, so there.
                  ^_~

                "Just One Story" 
                  Kaze is the president of the college's writing
                  club, known as the Winged Scribe. Unfortunately, there's been
                  a bit of problem with one of his stories as of late...
