Hey, look, it's Shauna! 

Remember Shauna?

(Shauna's intimidating silent companion appears on that page, too, on bouncer duty, sans jacket, leaning against the bar in the background.)

Yes, that Beth.

Yes, that Madeline.

Mariel has an interesting friend circle.

About time these two got around to learning each other's names.

See? Angelica does have a conscience!

Oh, and also... If you draw, check out this post on the Weird Luck Patreon!

The Reality Patrol's Diagnostic Manual of Ontological Disorders, 7th Edition (DMOD-7) states that one possible symptom of Chronic Synchronicity Syndrome (colloquially known as Weird Luck) involves the statistically improbable recurrence, throughout the patient's life, of some particular, highly specific type of event that could not reasonably be expected to happen to any ontologically normal individual more than once or twice.

Wait, what?

WARNING: Selling human beings against their will is bad, and the Weird Luck creative team does not endorse it in any way. Angelica is a professional villain and is not intended for use as a positive role model. Don't try this at home.

Will Angelica accept Mariel's offer? Would you?

The Endless Plateau is its own separate reality, and Tal Sharnis is the only center of human civilization on the Endless Plateau. So in Tal Sharnis, "off-worlder" means "from another universe" rather than "from outer space." 

For reasons that will be explained in the next chapter, Tal Sharnis natives (like Angelica and Agent Sojac) sound a lot like they're from California. So from their perspective, any accent that sounds notably different from a California accent is an "off-world" accent. 

Angelica may have her faults when it comes to ethics, but you've got to hand it to her: in a tale full of complicated characters harboring all manner of sinister secrets and mysterious agendas, her motives are refreshingly clear.
