Saint James Infirmary 227: The Principality of the Sky

GodWilling - I think these are actual events occurring in a variety of settings at dawn's first light - mostly based on a read of the title's source material.

(Of course, since I'm wrong about 98.3% of the time with my predictions, it has become likely that this is not the case, but make of that what you will.)

Panel 2 shows Laura emerging from a pink cloud dressed as a happy harem girl. My feeling is that that is unlikely to be happening right now. I can only make sense of it as symbolising her relief following her anguish on Saturday morning. As far as we know, only Adrian or Laura - or we - would understand that image.

Or, perhaps, Vik.  He knows about Pink Clouds and works with Laura.  He's also got some reason to feel hostile to Adrian for stealing his girlfriend -- perhaps he's dreaming of stealing one back?  The vaguely Indian look of Laura's clothing and mannerisms in that shot would be consistent with this hypothesis.

[Haight]

Are these carefully calculated odds?

More that the oboe itself is disassembled in the picture.  Why would it be relevant to show that?

Say what now?

I don't understand how you deduced this? I'm assuming because you can't see it all???

You can't see the whole of the oboists head - has that also been disassembled? lol @ You!!!

I hadn't considered the possibility that Vik might start actively exploiting Pink Clouds now that he's had it explained to him.

On the one hand, as an MC fetishist all of the girls being part of the same MC'ed harem is pretty hot.  On the other, Vick could use a squeeze, and he's not a bad guy (yet, still waiting for the supervillain moment lol).  So if the belltower has put sex in the air...

Also I suppose we'd have to throw Q into the mix here too, because he's just met Laura and he knows about Pink Clouds, and he seems to have a thing for Indian clothing.

Right, I forgot about him.  Per #96 Q may have an attraction to Laura, and we know he likes his women dressed up in traditional Indian garb.

I thought of Clay (who we haven't met yet) as a candidate for belltower assistance.  Other people are going with Vik.

He's unattached right now.  It would make sense if he were attracted to Laura, but they're just friends.  More importantly, the harem girl outfit in traditional Indian dress is Q's brainchild, not Vik's.
