Merry Christmas everybody! And as a little present for all of you, how about the start of Chapter Two of Lemrin Spur? In this week’s opener we meet Brother Gone and The Cult of Stone. They’re just brimming with seasonal cheer and are super keen to share it with the whole wide world!

Hey look, Breek is back! And once again earning his “Best Bird” award, as we close out Part One of the story. Tune in next week for the start of Part Two!

One update left to go in Chapter one! This seems like a good time to take a little tour of a few of the colour schemes used in the chapter so far. One more colour palette (and one more familiar face) to go next week!

Or – hear me out here – how about just a room with a few extra students so if some do get eaten, there are still plenty of spares.

Meet Timetabling! A totally normal… um… person? Probably a person! Doing a totally normal job that doesn’t at all involve rewriting the fabric of reality on a regular basis. I can’t think why Lemrin was so reluctant to meet with him, can you?

If you’re curious about how to properly pronounce the sigil in the penultimate panel, then the answer is with several years of careful study and lots and lots of practice.

Oh look! It appears 1B13 wasn’t okay to teach in after all. Who possibly could have seen that coming? Also – more students! And since these are Third Years, they’re all allowed to have names straight away. Meet Leerah, Tector and Drorn. Here’s hoping they survive the rest of the class!

If you’ve ever had to work in an office where the air conditioning isn’t working properly, it’s sort of like that. Only rather than being weirdly hot or weirdly cold, it’s weirdly weird, and stuff keeps trying to eat your soul.

Another new cast member! Meet the ever-popular Facilitator Burrstruck. Definitely one of Lemrin’s favourite people in the whole world! Lemrin would certainly not want to warmly shake by the hand whichever foul miscreant defaced the plaque under Burrstruck’s painting. No sir. Not Lemrin.

And there’s Skellaron – I told you we’d be seeing more of him (and he does indeed have one of those faces).
