It never Rains it's pours
now start the next 100 page.

It pours.  Yeah, don't know what this is about either.  Could be a flood in the tunnels, could be we're back to Kanti and Q, could be we're back to Laura, or Vik could crash the SJI party.  I think this is either back with Erin and Adrian, or more about Danielle's decorations.

so the pours is her exlover of a man is get out of jail 
   Bad for Jacqualyn

Okay, sorry I'm confused.

Why was Highway in prison?  Was it the episode from the earlier flashback, or was he abusive or just in jail for tax fraud or investment fraud?  That blonde (Rain) looks like the blonde from Jacqui's story to Adrian.  Jacqui and Rain were friends...still are friends?  What Pearl walked in on might not have been consensual?  What?

Now, uh the picture.  The pop-up text indicates this is Jacqui and Pearl in happier days...a couple years ago?  Look, the pictures looks far older than that, and I'm having trouble even with the impressionistic math here.  I had this big long rambling question about whether that might not have been Jacqui and Sawyer in college days because the picture looked to be considerably more than a couple years old.  Still don't know Sawyer's gender or other particulars (but we might be close to finding out).  Also, Jacqui's ex-fiance appears to be a lot more interesting than I previously thought.  We went from no villains to four villains in two months.

Also, I'm confused about a couple other details.  The inside of the building where Jacqui's looking at the photograph doesn't look like the restaraunt she and Pearl were at (plus, why would she be the last person of out of a closed restaurant) or Black Vinyl.  Where was she?  After dismissing the most obvious first two options, I thought bank, then office building, now I have no idea.  Also, what's this building she and Rain are standing in front of as they have their chat?  The window looks fancy (like a bank or a church or some overdone neogothic bookstore (don't ask) and the slot looks like it could be a geez, I have no idea.

Why does Jacqui keep old photos in a monogrammed pouch instead of an album or an envelope, or a purse.  What's the design on the pouch?  It's not her initials.  It looks like a lower case cursive l (which makes no sense to me).

Lastly, why does Jacqui's black leather jacket look blue in moonlight and shadow?

Oh, and Jacqui's heels are red?  Hmm.

What's the design on the pouch?

It's a Chanel purse.

Double update weekend, and neither were splash pages.  Way to go SJI team, thanks a lot!

[jmundt29]

Splash page may be upcoming.  Also, um...this may have been mentioned several hundred times elsewhere, but I can't tell if you're typing earnestly or sarcastically.  This medium just isn't conducive to such determinations.

Who, me? Nope, 100% serious: That's the double-C Chanel logo. Jacqui allows herself a few luxuries.

Now, uh the picture.  The pop-up text indicates this is Jacqui and Pearl in happier days...a couple years ago?  Look, the pictures looks far older than that.....

I think Pearl's scarves and head bands/bandana's tend to make her look a little retro....

Also, I'm confused about a couple other details.  The inside of the building where Jacqui's looking at the photograph doesn't look like the restaraunt she and Pearl were at or Black Vinyl. 

There is a red guitar on the wall above the grate...?

Lastly, why does Jacqui's black leather jacket look blue in moonlight and shadow?

Oh, and Jacqui's heels are red?  Hmm.

Tricks of the light.....

[jmundt29]

Daphne--My apologies, Great One.  The sarcasm question was actually directed at Garg.

Octavia--Yes, both women's clothing choices contribute to the impression that the picture is older than it actually is, but the texture of the photograph adds to this impression...at least for me.  I can't quite put my finger on why.  Are we meant to get the impression that it's laminated for preservation?

Okay, I totally missed the guitar.  Also, I went back to 78.  The red guitar is the logo for Black Vinyl.  Got it.  Light quality really makes a difference on the impression a room makes.  Thanks for directing me to a reference point that I could check in Denoument.

About the building two or three doors down in front of which Rain and Daphne have their discussion.  What is that place?

On the shoes thing, this is only the second panel where we see Jacqui's shoes at all since the second arc started.  In the first panel (in the storeroom during her discussion with Adrian), the one visible shoe looks dark purple.  Now, in streetlight and night illumination, the one visible shoe looks red.*shrugs*
