filler week

not_funokay so because of the crazy hectic week and family visiting this weekend to make sure alf's doing better (he is!) i didn't get around to the comic. SO.
this week is a filler comic based around 317's escape in the White Sun project which is gloucester's inhuman spinoff story!
it'll be posting pages mon, weds and fri.
this story is actually happening at the same time as the main plot of inhuman, and if you're following both you may ocassionally catch a glimpse of characters from one or the other passing by in the background.
the white sun project actually runs on user input questions, so make sure you ask the errant little experimented-on chuian how he's doing.
and now i guess, the health update
the week was kind of up and down. some more attacks, mostly minor, and about four of them needed medication to be controlled. these subsided over the course of the week until thursday.
on thursday we tried to go for a longer drive, to sort of simulate the drive to/from work that alf would have to do this week when his doctor's note ended. about the time we hit the highway, alf started to feel weird. we had to pull over as an attack started. he took the meds. we made it to a bookstore, where he regained his composure. he kept asking me if i felt weird in the car, and i kept saying no. but he was 100% sure it was something coming from the engine.
so on the way back, he redirected the air vents away from himself. towards me. and to keep him calm i started rambling about the voyager spacecraft.
and almost immediately, i started to feel sick. like my lungs just weren't getting enough air, all out of breath and stuff. i also started to feel kind of dizzy and confused.
when we made it home, the air quality outside the car was noticably refreshing. i coughed a little and it took...probably until morning to feel fully rid of the funky sensation. i described what i felt to alf, he agreed that's what he'd been feeling.
so the car WAS poisoning him. he WASN'T just having an attack from stress. his fight or flight kicked in for the very valid reason of there is no air, what air there is here is poison GET OUT OF THE CAR.
anyway. we called a rental place and are looking for other cars. the subaru is over ten years old and has a litany of other issues with it...it's reached the point where fixing them would cost the same as a new vehicle, and ultimately a newer vehicle would be better anyway, because the sub has seen way too many new england winters and is just rusting its undercarriage to pieces.
the good news is, driving a rental car gives alf no issues what so ever! and if anything he seems a lot more enthusiastic and back to his old self, which was a personality that really enjoyed driving. it's kinda refreshing to have that back. and a relief to have identified the issue. now we can take steps to correct it.
but yeah the subaru is Bad right now. i went into it earlier in the weekend to get out a toolbox and just looking around inside i started to feel light-headed and ill. it wasn't even on. DANGER SUBARU: DEATH CAR
oh and uh someone actually sent this to alf after last week's sketchy ER comic.
and oh yeah WE ARE OFFICIALLY AN INTERSTELLAR SPECIES 8D
that's all i got. later!
