Description

Panel One: DJ reaches for a door handle. "I heard you're new, right? From outside?" Cal is confused. "Yes, but how -?" Dr. King chimes in, as she leaves, "Word gets around fast, dear. I'll be back soon with your books."

Panel Two: The room. It's large, with two beds, two desks a low, wide bookcase, two dressers, and two doors on either side; one for the closet, the other for the bathroom. Three tall, arched windows on the far wall let in plenty of light. The room is also absolutely trashed. Clothes, towels, books, crumpled papers, mugs and glasses are strewn everywhere. The bookcase is in complete disarray. Even the dresser drawers are pulled out, half-askew. To the unknowing, it would look ransacked. DJ stands in the middle, stepping on papers with his arms spread wide. "Welcome to your new room!" he says, with a big smile on his face. "Well, our room. What do you think?

Panel Three: Cal has a large, pained smile on his face as he says, "It's... Great!"

Author Note

There's always a catch, isn't there? Poor Cal! He's got enough to cope with as-is.

Anyway, that's it for Plague Rat Chapter 01: Patient Zero! Thank you so much for reading it this far! I hope you've enjoyed it, and are looking forward to the next issue. It's currently still being drawn, but I've got the first few pages done. I've got about a month until I run out of new content, but I should have the issue finished before then. With the Ren Fest over, I have more time to work on it, too. This also means that I'm coming back to weekend streams. You should come watch me work on it! There will be spoilers (obviously) but you might also learn some story secrets, too.

See you next week for Plague Rat Chapter 02: Culture Shock.

Stay Safe,
