Haunted 1-25
So the good news is I finished the first new localized Ace Attorney game.
The other bad news tidbit—other than the one implied by the previous sentence—is that I started a new job and already have my hands full. Will still try my best to keep on schedule.
The best news is that Iliana will continue to side-eye people for most of the rest of the chapter.
The worst news is that the Casbah Gallery office doesn’t have an HR department, or even a Workplace Sensitivity video training series that says “don’t touch your coworkers like that.”
Ooo, what did Gail do to deserve the Iliana side-eye?
Heh, so the whole office might find out the Xiyuan-related gossip before he tells them (if he does). Upside: they can dampen their responses to anything too juicy. Like ghosts. Downside: if anyone slips up and says too much in his presence, he’ll figure out someone’s been nosy, or that there’s a secret spy network operating out of his gallery.
I like how Sergio’s hair sits like a roof over his head.
I know last page was “tag yourself,” but I’m still Gail.
What, indeed? Could be that she’s an art handler, so low on the totem pole and most likely a student who isn’t invested in the job as much. Could be that she has Daria energy and she and Iliana only communicate via glaring. Could be she killed Iliana’s goldfish.
If only they knew there’s a lot more at stake for Yuan than just gossip.
Now calling Sergio “Mr. House Head.” Thx.
I’m still reading in the corner, too. I’m reading a French translation of Heidi! It’s very descriptive.
Congratulations on the new job! I hope it works well for your big project.
We are all Gail on this blessed day. Heidi >>>> unethical spying on the boss, after all.
Haha, that poor sap. Rule number one: do not agree to anything in conversation with Iliana. She is so many steps ahead of you, there’s no way you’re not agreeing to her evil masterplan.
Lol I love the way she pops up in the first panel with malevolent glee like: btw I can hear you disagreeing with me and you’re wrong.
Now that I know more about character shapes I’m going to be looking for them everywhere!
That side eye in the end is legit. So subtle but perfect…
HAHHAAHA, “I can hear you disagreeing with me and you’re wrong” is now her catchphrase.
Cue that Left Exit 12 Off-Ramp meme where the freeway is labeled “introduce the protag’s love interest in what is ostensibly a romance” and the exit is “watch a lady manipulate all her co-workers to run a secret spy network out of an art gallery.”
Oh no, check out that detour sign! It says: GET YOU A STORY THAT CAN DO BOTH
“We don’t create drama we merely observe” was that Trump’s campaign slogan? I forget…
Iliana stirring shit up. Look at her baiting poor sweet manipulative Miles. Dang, Iliana would make an EXCELLENT lawyer. OOOOOh you are a devious one.
I like how Iliana side-eyes Gail. BECAUSE THE QUIET ONES CAN’T BE TRUSTED. Iliana knows what’s up.
It totally was. Trump stole all his best moves from Iliana.
Love Iliana popping in sideways in the first panel, it’s very Feng.
Poor Miles. Listen, you can’t pit Mr. Wholesome Himbo against Ms. Snoop Foxx, it’s just not fair.
