Sorry for the late announcement on this - I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it due to the getting hit with a cold this past Monday. I'm now recovered from that, and will be at the signing and panel! I'll still be masking just in case and encourage you to do the same if you can. See you there, maybe!

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #15 🍄

Panel 1: Audrey and Val are facing one another on the river bank, seemingly in the late afternoon. They're wearing their last respective outfits from the previous episode. Audrey is saying "Well, you live right near the corner store, right? I was thinking, when I get off work ... I could bring over some snacks and we could watch a movie or something."

Panel 2: Val has a strained expression and starts sweating, sucking in her lips, like she is trying really hard to decide what to say.

Panel 3: Audrey holds his hands up and says "Okay, yep, no. That's definitely the NO face. Say no more!"

Panel 4: Val looks to the side with a strained, nervous expression, replying "No, no, Audrey, it's just, I don't think my apartment is ... Ready for visitors."

Panel 5: Audrey tilts his head and asks "Oh? What's up with it?" as Val turns her head away from his, sweating.

Panel 6: Val says "UH," rapidly swinging her head back to face Audrey but with his eyes lagging to the side, giving her time to think.

Panel 7: Val recalls her room, which is an absolute mess, empty pizza boxes, trash bags, socks, unopened mail, miscellaneous chargers, and stains littering the floor. The mattress has no cover, the trash bin is overflowing, and there's a single sound insulating foam panel on the wall behind the computer monitor. A sound of a fly buzzing emanates through the room.

Panel 8: "Black mold," replies Val, finally looking directly at Audrey.

Panel 9: Audrey suddenly leans close to Val and balls his hands with a worried expression, yelling "BLACK MOLD?? Val, you CAN'T BE LIVING THERE!!" Val leans back a bit.

Panel 10: Val gives a thumbs up and a close-eyed nervous smile, saying "No no it's okay. I like ... wear a mask."

Panel 11: Audrey has a comedically sad expression, like a toddler who got told that magic isn't real. Water eyes, tensed chin, as if about to cry.

Panel 12: Val, by contrast, just has her brow furrowed in slight annoyance, asking "What."

Panel 13: Audrey, still watery-eyed, begins speaking in a baby talk voice, saying "My besht fwiend's wivving wiz bwack mowod."

Panel 14: Fisheye lens closeup of Val looking very unamused, brow still furrowed, the setting sun casting a hard shadow on half of the face. She says "Audrey. Audrey you know I hate the V-tuber baby voice."

Panel 15: Audrey raises his head and begins saying into sky, "OOWOWW DA BWACK MOWD IS" and Val interrupts him, hands together in a pleading gesture and eyes shut tight, saying "OKAY OKAY I'll call a mold specialist TODAY. And we can hang out tomorrow. No more ear terrorism."

Panel 16: With her hands still together, Val looks down towards the ground, her pupils hazy, as a bead of sweat rolls down her face. "God I am so f*cked," she thinks.

Panel 1: At the top it says "(THE BIT ZONE)" indicating that we are in the grassy void that is the non-canonical Bit Zone. Audrey is a pair of short-bottom jean overalls and in a white shirt with blue stripes, holding something behind his back in front of Val. He says "Hey Val, close your eyes and hold out your hand."

Panel 2: Val smiles incredulously and says "Hah! What is this, middle school? You gonna put something gross in my hand?"

Panel 3: Audrey's grey-brown eyes sparkle in pin, yellow, and green as an arrow points to them labeling them "'Trust Me' Eyes"

Panel 4: Val closes her eyes, turns her head slightly, and holds up her open palm, unable to resist. Audrey is overjoyed.

Panel 5: Audrey places something in Val's open palm, his other hand still behind his back.

Panel 6: Val opens her eyes and calmly looks at what's in her palm.

Panel 7: It's two enamel pins of Audrey and Val's faces, as well as two stickers of them looking like beans, or like they are a very small creature that just ate a cheese puff, or perhaps a tech deck dude.

Panel 8: Val looks up at Audrey with a blank expression of neither joy nor sorrow, as if to ask "what is this".

Panel 9: Audrey's eyes glimmer as he folds his arms in front of himself and says "That's us."

Panel 10: Text reading "PREORDER CAMPAIGN! T.B.F.V. ENAMEL PIN SET, PREORDER COMES WITH 2 BONUS STICKERS," once again showing the two two pins and two stickers, and indicating the pins to be 1.5 inches wide.

Panel 11: Shen, in a yellow dress shirt and dark blue dress pants and overalls, looks back at you from a slightly overhead angle and points up, smiling. He says "Only at TOPA.To/SHEN, until 10/1! Note: This is a peorder campaign, so it won't ship immediately, and will take some time to get to you. (It'll be available normally later, but the stickers are a preorder bonus)"

[2/2]

Panel 11: Audrey's head happily pops out of the water, sending little droplets flying and reflecting the moonlight. "This was something aquatic," Val narrates, "Gentle. Curious. Unhurt."

Panel 12: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he notices a rubber duck floating around in the pool with him. It has round glasses, making it look kinda like Val. "Or maybe not unhurt," Val continues narrating, "but..."

Panel 13: Audrey picks up the rubber duck, smiling and inspecting it curiously.

Panel 14: Audrey holds up the rubber duck above his head so that Val can see it, big smile beaming. Behind him is an almost magical, chromatic sky filled with red, yellow, green, and blue stars, galaxies, and a huge moon. All of these elements are also reflected in the rippling pool, making it look like a paint-filled art easel. "Not defined by hurt," thinks Val.

Panel 1: Val and Audrey are standing together in front of the pool. Audrey points forward as they exchange a look and says "You don't have to go in if you don't want to. But I'm goin' in!"

Panel 2: Audrey begins to pull up his shirt over his head, illuminated by a streetlight behind him.

Panel 3: Val quickly covers her eyes, sweating a bit, surprised by him suddenly doing that.

Panel 4: We see only the thin slivers of light leaking between Val's fingers from Val's point of view. A speech bubble appears by one of the slivers, the tail indicating it to be from Audrey. "Val?" says Audrey.

Panel 5: Still Val's point of view. Val opens her fingers a bit, just enough to see Audrey's face looking at her, amused. "Val, why are you doing that? Ha ha," says Audrey.

Panel 6: Val opens her eyes fully to see Audrey in a frilly blue two-piece bathing suit with a top that slings around the shoulders on both the side and top, and a skirt bottom. "It's just a bathing suit," says Audrey, "It's not like I'm naked."

Panel 7: Audrey walks off, sticking his tongue out a bit stupidly, as Val looks on. Audrey says "Anyway, I know what I'M here for. I'm gonna go splash around!"

Panel 8: Val thinks "I had seen Audrey be clumsy when we were walking on land before," and remembers him tripping with a fast food tray in front of her, sending french fries and soda flying everywhere.

Panel 9: Val looks forward, the pool reflecting in her glasses, and thinks "But, looking at him now, I realized something."

Panel 10: Audrey smiles placidly as his whole body gracefully flows through the water, as if he he one with the currents, bubbles gliding around him along the rhythms of his body. "This was never a land creature," Val narrates.

Panel 1: Val is is looking back at Audrey at the arcade with a confused scowl. "SWIMMING?" she asks, "Why SWIMMING all of a sudden?" The small blue imp version of her (Imp Val) that showed up before peaks out from behind her right side and angrily says "HE WANTS TO SEE YOU IN A BIKINI ..." It then switches to her left side and squints spitefully, saying "PERVERT ..."

Panel 2: Audrey has his hands folded behind his back, happily replying "Y'know the pool?" Val asks, "That sad little chlorine hole we have on North Street?"

Panel 3: Val points down at the ground with a concerned expression, talking about what they're currently doing as the arcade entrance illuminates her from behind. "Audrey, I'm gonna be real with you," she says, "THIS, TODAY was kinda an exception for me."

Panel 4: Val puts her hands up in almost a shrugging gesture, continuing, "Ninety percent of the time I'm OUTSIDE at all, it's for a night walk. Pool's way too loud and crowded."

Panel 5: Audrey looks to the side coyly and says "Well ... not always." The background turns a playful mix of reds, yellows, and pinks.

Panel 6: We see a view of a public pool at night, illuminated with streetlights and with a lifeguard on duty. On the right is a metal sign reading "NIGHT SWIM: 8PM to 11PM." Audrey's head and hand float in front, pointer finger raised, saying "They're actually doing NIGHT SWIMMING this month. But no one ever goes 'cept for a few old folks."

Panel 7: Audrey puts his fingers on his clavicle and closes his eyes, saying "That's when I like to go. But I never have anyone to go with because, y'know ... Who wants to go to the pool at night LMAO."

Panel 8: Val does that shrug-like gesture again and says "Why not just go during the day like a normal person? YOU actually have social skills."

Panel 9: Audrey twirls his pointer fingers around one another and looks away nervously, saying "Well, it's just ... the way I dress, it's, um"

Panel 10: Val, with a stern expression, replies "Audrey, there's nothing wrong with the way you dress." Audrey exhales in exasperation.

Panel 11: Audrey looks away once again, this time sadly, and replies "It's about what I like to wear when I'm swimming, Val."

Panel 12: Both Val and Imp Val are stunned next to one another, having realized why Audrey only goes at night.

Panel 13: Audrey, back to his characteristic happy cat smile, says "I'm gonna go no matter what. Around 10PM. You don't have to go, I just wanted to invite you."

Panel 14: Audrey prances past Val towards the light of the exit, glancing back and giving her a quick wave, saying "Okay, bye now!" Val is still just standing there looking forward.

Panel 15: Val, the arcade machines reflected in her glasses, says to herself, "Naw that's stupid. I'm just gonna stay home and game."

Panel 16: In the exact same pose and angle, Val is now in an orange t-shirt with a towel draped over her shoulders, with a fence and a tree in the background and Audrey sitting by the pool reflected in her glasses. Audrey is saying "VAL! YOU'RE HERE!!" and the tail of the speech bubble of him saying that is actually reflected in Val's glasses like a physical object.
