SSSS Read-Along: Chapters 0-10 [Finished]

[yuuago]

One of the best ways to survive a SSSS chapter break is to re-read the comic!

How it works: Every few days, a separate subthread will be posted to this entry for each chapter. Read the chapter, post your thoughts! Let's survive this chapter break together.

Re: Chapter 06

Either that was a tough problem to resolve, or he's really got no magic stamina. :|a

Little bit of A, little bit of B? Just guessing, mind you (feel like we don't have enough info to be sure yet, sigh).

I do really wonder about the black noise, though. It seems like, for example, that Swedes/Danes don't have any way to clear it aside from, say, moving to another location. So, would radio communication in Finland be (theoretically) more efficient? At least when comparing to Sweden/Denmark's remote areas, not like, Mora. Because they have a way to get the line clear. And I wonder if Icelandic-style mages can do anything like that, or if it's just a Finnish thing.

~Too many questions~.

And do the Swedes and Danes even know what they're dealing with? Agneta in the train and Mikkel both seemed to be like, "oh well, the line is bad", but Lalli there looks quite startled. Either way they seem to be used to it, but if Mikkel doesn't believe in "ghosts", does he believe in spirits infesting the radio.

(I *should* probably think of ch. 6 as "Reynir chapter", but somehow it's filed under "pink and green hues and radiomage Lalli" in my head. The mix of magic and technology is something that I like a lot. :>)

Yeah, I wonder. I mean, it's obviously something - there are actual words in those textbubbles. But maybe non-magic people can't hear the words? Which would explain their reaction to it. It's kind of weird, though.

"Radiomage" ffff what an excellent word for it, I love it. :D

I went playing with the prompt generator and apparently the spirits of internet randomness had been listening :P

Lalli Hotakainen
Sigrun Eide

just mage stuff
belief and/or disbelief
radio
awkwardness


This is probably what happened before the radiomage page (the captain gets the non-believers out of the tank while the finns work on the radio)
