    Assuming that her past was changed from a point before the mall trip, I’m surprised he didn’t comment on the fact that she chopped off all of her hair.

    I don’t think Luna’s dad has gotten that far yet.

    (Plus there is only so much text that can be added, and the story has to more on, so some things just have to be assumed)

    She can’t sleep, beside I woke at 5H30 am to go work. The are days that I am awake at this hour and have nothing to do. Anyway, grey is a poor choice of color. Luna should have choice something else like white or beige if you want my opinion.

    Her past hasn’t been changed; It is her father perception of that past that has changed. Remember Selena has charm ability on animals and Humans are animals as well. Who has been watching that weird Lunar eclipse more than Luna’s dad? I don’t know if that had an hypnotic effect or if it was a more direct contact. I’m hoping that Luna’s school wasn’t effected and that she will be re-enrolled as a girl, so as to get the first day at school as a girl experience.

    No, she’s not on drugs, she’s on paint fumes by this point.

    Now, now, there are many perfectly valid non-drug reasons for painting at 6 AM. Like being crazy.

    Insomnia… It’s genetic, from her moon goblin side.

    and just where did she get two buckets of paint?

    I hate the grey – but I can understand where she is coming from – that room was horrible – so spartan and boring and no other colour but Purple – sheeesh – no one, not even a boy has a room so devoid of any posters, furniture, books toys, DVDs a TV or anything else. I am wondering if Tolka is deliberately using a limited palette of colours – is this why things sort of lack contrast and have that washed out feel?

    Tolka says:

    I do try an keep the background simple vs the character’s color pallets. honestly I just got tired of the purple hell. :P

    there’s another reason as you will see with the color anyway.

    She could be said to have a limited choice of colors, as well…

    Ah, the joys of insomnia. Some of my best, and strangest ideas emerged from the cluded yet sharp state of mind that condition can bring.

    This is really good. I mean honestly. I was looking through the archives. It is the New world characters and story I love, but your style has improved so much.

    Case in point: The partial paint, I have painted a good bit in my time(mother as an interior designer means the family often tackled such tasks personally) and you really capture how iot looks when th paint is being applied with insuffiocent amount on the instrument.

    Also the little toucheslike the paint the subject got on her left leg!

    The expression and posture reminds me of the kud caught in the act. Which it is! Though I doubt any parenting books cover this particular scenario.

    As for the father and the past reperception, him observing the moon so often and especially the eclipse probably does give Selena that much extra oomph in hypnotizing him. In fact it even fits with why the name Luna would have been picked sibce he is an astronomer.

    As for his comment, not drugs. Luna is simply crazy at the moment, must a full moon out kahahaha *is struck by the pun hammer with righteous vengance*

    Aaaaaaa. . .

    Well Luna’s gift of not needing to sleep will probably lead to more problems at home. That is unless the dad always comes home at 6am. But I mean think about it. If you can’t sleep, well your light would either be on all night as you do things in your room, or you wouldn’t be at home. So it could seem that luna is sneaking out a lot and becoming a troublesome child. And btw, we know the dad checks up on his little girl, twice already.

    Grey is a fine choice of colour for a base coat. And her dad is jumping to half baked conclusions here, Luna just got up rather early to paint and is not up late. After midnight it is never late, it is just very very early in the day. Now, the questions is what would be the best top coat for the wall? Lavender, or a soft green maybe.

    Tolka says:

    well, it’s supposed to be more of a light olive tone, not grey, grey.

    J. H. says:

    They just had gray paint and the necssary supplies lying around? Did Baxter have a hanmd in this? After all he was responsible for the previous interior decorating.

    Vip says:

    I don’t think the dad is jumping to any conclusions. He’s just the sarcastic type.

    firedragongt says:

    I’m guessing they did, in fact, happen to have the paint. Look at the earlier panels, where he’s outside her room. He’s not going “Hey, someone painted these walls!”, but those walls are the same color. Maybe they had extra paint left over that Luna is using now.

    …how hard is it to get paint? They sell paint at Walmart. Walmart is open 24 hours. Seriously, guys.

    J. H. says:

    Ah, but the subject would have changed clothes before going to the store, and probably would not change back just to start painting.

    I HAVE ANSWERS!

    The paint came from a plot hole. Same place as the book. :3 END!
