Oh good, phew. She's talking about it. I thought she'd just walk out and give Annie the cold shoulder forever. dfrjkwer Actually, perhaps it's my inner pessimist but I have the feeling Kat's just gonna tell Annie to leave her alone or something.

I love how Kat is pacing around.
Also, obligatory "the saddest face."

Awesome page. Tom, thanks for not drawing this out forever. Obviously the reconciliation might take awhile, but I'm very glad the issue isn't just being avoided.
Also, how did Kat hear the reason that Annie ran off? From Jones? Rey? Her mom? Those are three very different perspectives there, so I'm wondering what she's thinking is the story.

Are you two going to kiss now? Because I'd be interested in watching.

Not sure if I am going to get banned for discussing shipping or not , but I'm with q3. +1 to AnniexKat. Despite Annie making a dick move toward her, Kat still wanted to be together with her, and even was mad at herself for being mad at Annie's dick move. If one of my friends did that, I would just be pissed, not heartbroken. And you know what? I predict the next page will deliver yet another point. Yes, I have called that shot. A hug? Revealing comment? Who can say.

Oh, good, they're talking. That's a lot better than I had hoped for. And since Kat would have to be a real butt to stay really, really mad at Annie for having a breakdown after being told she killed her mother, I think their friendship will even be stronger than ever after this!
I'm probably being too optimistic.

Would've been horrible to draw it out and have Annie and Kat not talking for that whole time =< Awesome page. Tom, thanks for not drawing this out forever. Teeheeeeeeeee.~ Oh, how I love unintentional puns.

Waitaminute, what exactly is it she heard and from whom? Reynard? Jones? Eglamore? That's potentially three different stories right there. So, what are we going to do with all the drama popcorn we made for Monday's page? We clearly jumped the gun here. I dunno man, jokes aside, I'm actually disappointed this wasn't drawn out more myself...

In any case, it's a chance for Annie to explain what happened, Kat already knows (some) of the story behind her mother, so she'll probably be pretty sympathetic to her about it. Edit: It sounds like she heard from multiple sources, Jones is definetly one of them, but there are at least two or three sources she got it from. Another possible source is Shadow2, but we don't know if he was actually present at the time.

Please be saying this ironically. Dude, please stop giving people flack for this. I recognize that's it's an obnoxious acronym, but you saying something doesn't really contribute anything, either. And the fact that the forum changes LAUGHING ON LINE to that is adequate embarrassment as it is.

Though all of the above could have had a thing to say about it. Please be saying this ironically. It's the profanity censor. Tom dislikes the shorter form of that, so it gets auto replaced by what you see. Looks kind of lame spelled out like that, but then it's kind of lame in shorthand too.

What Kat should do is look beyond all the superficial hurt and worry and fear, and delve deep into the core of her heart and listen to what that is saying.
"KILL THEM. KILL THEM ALL."

It's not the first time he's called someone out for it, and I actually find that more obnoxious than the auto-censor or the acronym.
@paxjax As long as I've been visiting the forums, it's been "LAUGHING ON LINE."
Sorry for straying off topic.thorYou are one terrifying individual.

The timeline for Kat finding out different things seems a little wonky to me. The time from when Annie left the Donlan's to when she decided to stay in the forest was only a few hours, as far I can tell. And Jones was there when Annie decided to stay in the forest. So I'm wondering, like other people, where Kat heard the information, and also how long each stage lasted.
Did it go like: 9pm: Heard Annie ran off. Devastated. Mum thinks it's her fault. 9:30pm: Heard the reason Annie ran off. So worried. 10:30pm: Jones says Annie is staying in the forest.
I mean, props to Kat for being so open, and I'm glad she knew enough of the story to be sympathetic. Telling the truth about how she felt here shows a lot of emotional maturity. But how long could each of those beginning stages actually have lasted?
What makes the most sense to me, as far as who told what:
Eglamore tells them Annie ran off, but he doesn't know the reason. Renard tells them why (because, if Jones wasn't back yet, who else would have known that?) Jones, of course, tells them Annie is staying in the forest. But who knows how much she told them about it?

D'oh!! I was completely not aware of that. I was convinced that that odious bastardization of the meaning of L O L was actually catching on around here. Though thanks to the filter, that's probably exactly what will happen.

Well, we don't know, how long has Annie been sitting in the Forest. Even if it wasn't so long, we don't know, how long has she been sleeping. We've seen only one scene from her dream, but sleeping doesn't work this way. It can take a while even if we remember only tiny part of dream. I'd say this whole situatuin took at least 4-5 hours, so Kat had plenty of time to worry and things. As for today's chapter... I expected things to get a little worse. Well, I'm glad, that it turned out without awkward silence, tears and such. It wouldn't end well. Also, yay for my first post here

And the fact that the forum changes LAUGHING ON LINE to that is adequate embarrassment as it is. Continuing the trend of being massively off-topic I'd just like to point out that LAUGHING ON LINE is very very rarely used as an actual acronym anymore and has instead ascended to be a (rather convenient) word in and of itself. So if your online lexicon is based on, say, online games and 4chan, like mine is, then it gets rather baffling when you type a simple, short word meaning "I am amused by this" and end up with an obnoxious block of capital letters. JUST SAYIN'. Oh and also not sure if I'm totally cool with 13 year-olds being more open about their emotions than I am. Kinda weeeeeiiiird.

Kat is being surprisingly mature about this for a 14 year old. Much more mature than the stoic Annie usually is in situations of adversity that have to do with herself (Mort, anyone?).

ED: or at the latest on Monday!

I have to say I am a bit suspicious; Tom never seems to have things be this seemingly simple in the past, so I'm still looking for the twist. Maybe their reunion is going to be interrupted somehow? (arrival of other students, perhaps?)

Yeah, I feel like this might be a bit too easy, even though Rey forgave her. I hope there is still some sort of conflict to keep things a bit more interesting. In other news, I found this. goggles.sneakygcr.net/Bookmark the button that's there, and open it on the front page. It's not vandalism since it doesn't really affect everyone that doesn't do this, and it's pretty neat.

Honestly, I just put dots so the "word" wouldn't get censored. I haven't seen it written like that in some time (unless it's a really old person using it).
Whelp, this is going to ruin my life. D:

Word filter jokes: serious business.
I'll be pretty disappointed if Annie and Kat make-up and get back to 100% right away. After her easy make-up with Renard, it would feel like that emotional explosion at the end of the last chapter had no consequences except that Annie got to stay the summer in the forest, which we didn't get to see.
Also, it seems kind of appropriate. Renard and Annie blew up at each other, regretted it, and made up. There's a direct logical sequence to that. Kat just got ignored and lost in the shuffle of Annie's flare-up, so her aftermath isn't so simple.

I'm actually a bit disappointed that Kat didn't keep the cold shoulder.....if they separate for a bit, they may make other friends, (UGH...I hate how the "circle" only includes Kat and Annie. I wanted them to have made some new friends by now!!) Going their own ways for a bit would let them pursue their future as individuals. Then they would reconcile, now with more information and experiences to share than if they had stayed together the whole time , mildly pursuing their interests. And if Kat where angry at Antimony, just ONCE....it would make the friendship realistic.
