Defenders of Those Without Vessels

Here’s a comic guys. I’m so tired. Quarantine has sucked the life from me but at least we’ve still got media i guess?

In case anyone is curious, the priest didn't conduct an exorcism (Healy wasn't possessed) but rather a ritual cleansing, hence the need for wards to keep Lichu from returning.

As you may have gleaned from my Winter Break post, I have pretty severe ADHD and it makes me *terrible* at keeping a regular schedule for...well, pretty much anything. So I'm going to start scheduling the posts on Tapas in advance so that, each Update Monday at 1 pm EST, the comic will magically be there without me having to remember anything! ...of course, I'll still have to remember to share it to all of the socials. But at least it's something?

I'm sure Grandma would be pleased to know that Healy was using her tea set. Transcript to this comic can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1e5IABh-b9Dx4Ey5kPXq8TIgxRreA4bY25iTc3T1gBWA/edit?usp=sharing

It's okay for Lichu to have an extra sugar cube (you can't get cavities if you don't have teeth). Transcript to this comic can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1I6DeuUwjjGYEGclM1LEc8jvdZCGWEKuuVcZL8lUmeJM/edit?usp=sharing

Guys, I did so much research before I began writing this comic. Like, probably too much research. Did you know that the concept of demons didn't used to be inherently evil? Society originally used the term to refer to beings that existed in the ether between heaven and earth and would act as a messenger between the gods and humanity. Concepts change, words don't, and suddenly we see evil where we used to see comfort. #foodforthought

Now the real question is, will the bank recognize an otherworldly entity as a valid cosigner on Healy's mortgage? This is the last page for Chapter "0". I know it's been going at a slow pace, but it's all to set up the playing pieces for the whole story later on :) Transcript to this comic can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1EeWJT9CM0oN3DvgoKtlwmHNOPpjQguZItdsKRzVoZr0/edit?usp=sharing

Fun fact: Mr. Realtor doesn't become a recurring character because after selling this house, nothing could make him step foot in it again. Transcript to this comic can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1c-QIy8fP3cRBIKFaiLyJczly0LRtSQbHEw3vEV5OPMo/edit?usp=sharing

Wishes he never took on this house, and desperately hoping he can sell it before it scars any more of his employees.

(Don't tell Brooklyn, but I actually wrote that there were spray paint cannisters on the floor but she drew full on gallon cans. Those are some intense graffiti artists.)

Each lock on that door was added at a different time in (increasingly desperate) attempts to keep the inside...contained. Transcript to this comic can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1G3y3H4hP6qslAeiopZ87mC8MIsJd-TofMUd2AVXCMRY/edit?usp=sharing
