The year is drawing to a close and that means it’s time to get a new calendar for 2025! Lucky for you, I have one for sale! It’s a 13-month risograph calendar featuring a bunch of extinct animals and plants! Makes a great gift!

Every group has “The Loud One” who just embarrasses the heck out of the rest of the group.
Mind you, I understand that queueing is a national pastime for our UK friends so I can see how this would get a reaction. ;-)
So who’s playing tonight? The 4 Horsemen? Boney Kings of Nowhere? Ellipses?
Finally! Feels like we’ve been waiting two months out here.
As a certified Brit, I can attest that we all hate queuing, but we’re all too awkward to protesy about it usually
Sooo, I guess he’s like the opposite of suspicious.
Is that…Bloodcarver? o_O
OMG, I think you’re right. That jacket has his colors and the same mottling from his wings is on the back.
That would be supremely narratively underwhelming if Michelle figured out medallions and Bloodcarver integrated into society entirely offscreen.
Or this is just a flash-forward and it’ll cut back to where we were-ish after he enters the club.
Nah, it’s just a Bloodcarver Jacket. Latest thing, and the dragon gets fifteen percent.
No, it’s Jon.
Oh that’s definitely Bloodcarver right? I recognise that mustache :D
A detail I notice is that the door ahead of him has been re-hung since the tunnel went in (way back in Exchanges). The visible hinges tell me it opens outward from the club, and any panic bar hardware would have to be on the club side of the door, where newbies would expect to see it, instead of the tunnel side, where it used to be.
That door is … quite weird. It did not have visible hinges on the side it opened towards back then, the (replaced) handle teleported from the right to the left, and both its versions have the peephole look out to the side that can open the door per the crash bar, anyway. And yet, it quite clearly still is the same door …
… and what even became of whatever dead-end(?) room it used to lead to, before Tim and Sam reattached its non-club side to the tunnel??
(Pro tip: If the club ever needs a bunch of mythicals moving soil for free, start a rumour about “a lost liquor storage room”. The storage we’ve seen apparently held only food, after all …)
(Ah, forgot again that hyperlinks aren’t readily recognizable anymore … see https://www.skindeepcomic.com/archive/heartaches-16-obnoxious-audiophiles/ for “back then”.)
Another curious aspect of the door as seen in that old view is the large brackets flanking it. They make it possible to literally bar the door, with a heavy beam. Of course, that only works if the door opens inward.
What used to be on the other side of that door? Do we really want to know?

Well … at the price of said massive beam shearing the handle right off the door, apparently …

… we’re still out one, apparently well-hidden, Wonderland Jabberwock, aren’t we? 8-P

I’d like to propose two theories here:
First is that the door could be mounted on a hinge style that is significantly less visible. Piano hinges and concealed hinges (aka, euro-hinges, aka, look inside your kitchen cabinet doors) come to mind.
Second, and much more realistic, theory is that Kory may not have had “draw in door hinges” on her list of must-haves, accidentally prompting a wave of people arguing about the viability of a magic door that changes its appearance to torment people with continuity errors.
I’m reminded of an image I saw somewhere: a door at the back of a room, secured with bolts, bars, locks, and chains; sealed with spells, prayers, and sutras; posted with warnings and notices. But don’t worry, just ignore it. (I’m thinking it might have been a Kelly Freas illustration in a Robert Asprin book.)
