MH: Interesting theory. A lot of people do find that a little icky, after all. Then again, I haven't exactly made the timeline clear. And I certainly don't plan to give explicit time frames. You'll just have to judge for yourself!
Blademaster: Shh! Don't give it away, man! That's supposed to be a secret!
B4: Do you mean Cast's Sandstorm, or the band called Sandstorm? (Yeah, I love Wikipedia.)
In any event, listen to whatever music makes this fic more enjoyable, everyone! Including the possibility of Sandstorm. I need every edge I can get! ^_^;
Oh, and more revelations will be coming soon. Along with even more mysteries open for speculation.
Ada: Good question. Blademaster's a dropout, and Shuppet Master has something to do with Mr. Shades. Perhaps the joke in #60 is getting a little old, but it's necessary for a greater purpose. Slightly greater, at least.
And as for the scene in #9, I don't think I ever confirmed who said that. In any event, someone didn't like the sight of Lil' Pika.
DS: It seems you're trying to piece together some clues. But only time will tell how accurate your unsaid assumptions are.
Getting a page posted daily is not easy. I've got a dwindling reservoir of pages ready to be posted, but it's getting to the point where I have to create three or four pages on both Saturday and Sunday to keep up. I just can't get enough work done during the week.
Keep going I shall!
#62: All I'm going to say is that this page took as long to make as the second cover. Maybe longer, with all the image editing.
