I can't think of two names for people in my comic. One of them is a girl who lives in the desert nation who shows quite a bit of cleavage off (hey, the only real fanservicey girls in the comic are most of the Shivas (which is a goddamn necessity) and Faerie, and I'm thinking about fixing the latter) and can summon a golem and a wolf who can summon a super powerful guy. (She has normal deserty features ((dark skin and hair 'n stuff))) and has a ponytail and a moogle helper. She wields bows and moogle-generated arrows.

The other guy is a guy who lives in the oceanic nation thing that's a pacifist and prefers to stay back and fish. I...haven't really thought of his appearance yet, except that he has a tan (which applies to another male person...).

Terra and Altor?

Go for it.

For the girl, maybe Aria? The guy, Mako?

Meh, you could probably come up with better names.

Since I'm here, I may as well ask if anyone else has been planning on writing a novel/book/anything about the pit stop?

I have a few ideas still in my head for a novel of some sort, but didn't want to do anything if anyone else was planning or had something. I say this because I know you guys are much better writers than me and I wouldn't want to write something you guys could do a much better job of writing.

I got nothing beyond my current emote thing :I

Caprizant once started one.

Caprizant's Encyclopædia Ridicula wrote:

This encyclopedia was originally written by the ancient philosopher Caprizanticus one year ago, which on Earth calculates to around "too long ago to be interesting." It was (or at least had begun to be written as) a quick reference guide to all the semi-interesting things about Caprizanticus' home planet of Morbo, the planet which would eventually, many months later, become the home of The Planetary Pit Stop.

However, there was a problem. This problem may or may not be revealed in the scattered bits of unimportant information to follow, but what it boils down to is that Caprizanticus was a fool and ended up misplacing nearly all of the pages of the original Encyclopædia Ridicula in various places around Morbo. Eventually, I, as the descendant of Caprizanticus and bestowed with amazing powers of location, managed to find almost 1/1,000,000th of these pages. I shall be posting the few scraps of information as these days wear by, and may even be posting my own recollections of Morbo's recent history from time to time. I do not expect to hold your attention throughout this whole excursion (I mean, look, it's the second paragraph and I've probably lost you already), but I do hope the tiniest bit you pay attention to will stick in your mind like a bite from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich may do to the roof of your mouth, only not so irritating.

Now, I shall hand this soap box over to the late and great Caprizanticus, and let us all hope he doesn't "boreth" you with his old speech style. vaj tIq 'ej tlho' vaD Hoch ehdhihss visH!
