DETAILS. so mANY DETAILS.
I was originally gonna draw a whole multi-page scene of Ragnok with the guards but I shortened it to just a few panels;;; It just didn't feel important enough to the story and I'd rather make room for another upcoming scene before the chapter ends! I still like the script I wrote for it tho so here's a (really rough) version of it if anyone wants to read it~ c:
---
(Flashback to ragnok trying to leave the murder scene but is stopped by guardsmen)
Guard 1 (beardy guy): woah there, are you okay?
Guard 2 (ponytail lady): (suspiciously) it's that cult leader, ragnok. What're you up to now?
Ragnok: (rushed) the usual, baby, just playing tag with the cryptids!
G2: (stops Ragnok as he tries to pass by) what's the rush? Is there a problem?
R: ugh...yeeaaahh actually, I didn't want to have to tell you this but there's a dead body right over there by those trees.
G1: what?!
G2: (grabbing ragnok) let's have a closer look, shall we?
R: come ooon it's all blood and guts! I don't wanna see that shit again!
G1: (drawing weapon) did you do this?!
R: what?! No, no! Listen, It was one of those Enokan dryads! Actually there was a whole pack of them tearing this poor soul to shreds! (rambling) We should actually get the fuck out of here. I'm not even fuckin playin this whole area is giving me the worst fuckin vibes. (more rambling...)There is some dark ass shit goin down over here and I would know! In fact, I'm just getting back from my latest cult gathering! I've dealt with some horny fuckin spirits but this is just -dark-
G1: (squints) Enokan…..dryads…..
R: hell yeah, not all dryads are evil as fuck like this one though! If you're interested in getting to know one you can come to my next gathering~ It's a day before the new moon and yknow there's just something about the way the moon wanes that really gets the orgies goin
G1: so you… “speak” with dryads? Couldn't you have just told -these- “dryads” to stop?
R: ahaha you think you got me there… yes, I can speak to dryads and yes I would have told them to stop because --who wouldn't--
G1: mhmm (not trusting, getting ready to cuff him)
R: but! But, I only came in time to see the aftermath! You see, I would have stopped it but I couldn't-
G1: (about to cuff ragnok) that's a great story, how about you tell it again at the (station? idk would they have another word for that?)
G2: (after closer investigation) actually, he's right
G1: (scoffing) “dryads” are a myth
G2: as in he's not lying that he didn't do it. Animal tracks, looks like something with cloven hooves. Lacerations appear to be caused by claws… sharp teeth… unless our friend here is a shape-shifting devil (ragnok flashes his claw-like nails like “heheh, a handsome devil, u mean”)
G1: ah, an “act of nature” then... (writing down on note pad?) I'll put out a warning for a violent beast in the area. Will also add a notice for hunters to dispose of it
