More cut lines. It seems like companions talk to Rook after the regret prison depending on the romance.
Lucanis.
Spite caught your scent before we all heard you.
Taash?
Then I caught your scent. Sort of. It was your scent but with magic and feelings and crap.
Emmrich, I guess.
Then suddenly, I heard you, darling. And the welcome pull of your voice. Finding you was fiendishly difficult. I tried a number of rituals. Multiple attempts.
According to the localization in my language, these are the lines of a female character. Harding, Neve, Bellara?
But I heard you. Over everything else. Because, well. It's you. I heard your voice. I wasn't sure it was real but… here you are. I didn't believe it at first, when I heard your voice. But it was you.
Once again according to the localization in my language, these are the lines of a male character. Davrin, Lucanis?
And then all of a sudden, I could hear you. Across the Veil. Then I heard your voice. No way you're getting away from me that easy.
No idea.
(Chuckles.) Welcome back. We missed you.
Rook?
You're all incredible. I… I don't know what to say. I don't think "thanks" really covers it, but thanks. All of you. You saved me.
Nick Thornborrow on BlueSky showed some more Lucanis narrative sketches
Sketch of Teia and Viago
Portrait sketch of Lucanis
Sketch of Lucanis violently dispatching prison guards along with Spite rapidly dispatching Venatori minions in the background.
Spite conversing with Rook. Spite grins with … well… spite. And Rook looks like she's having none of it.
A hedonistic bath house. Lucanis is deep in foreground in silhouette with two sword hilts apparent in the silhouette.
Ilario being seduced by I forget her name. But the villain in Lucanis's story. The villain is in a glowing red pool and drawing Ilario towards her who sits on the edge. Lucanis spies in the foreground.
Shirtless Ilario hulked out advancing on Lucanis in the foreground with a sword. The villain is in the background towering on a miasma of blood magic.
The villain reduced to a skeletal frame begging Ilario to save her.
Ilario smoke bombing out I think. Lucanis in the foreground in command of Spite.
Rook checking in on Lucanis who is curled up on the floor. Lucanis has just had an episode with his demon, Spite. Scorch marks in the shape of wings smolder on the walls.
Lucanis holding Rook in an embrace but looking warily back at Spite's wings protruding from his own back.
Lucanis ceremonially marking a book with blood.
I honestly can’t remember what was going through my head. I drew this years ago. It’s possible I was working from an explicit description of a ritual to become a Talon, or I may have been taking creative license. Either way, it was something to do with Talon coronation.
Lucanis and Spite working together for once to defeat the villain.
Action shot of Lucanis. I don't know. Kinda scruffy.
Lucanis looming over the villain who has been thoroughly defeated.
Lucanis becoming First Talon.
Lucanis with Spite wings out kissing Rook in the rain. This sketch was meant to portray an intense moment in the midst of going into a battle we don't expect to survive.
An intimate moment between Rook and Lucanis in the hot springs at the Dellamorte Estate.
Rook (who quite famously can't swim) tumbling into the canals of Treviso in a friendly game of bumper car gondola with Lucanis.
Rook and Lucanis having a wholesome (read spicy) experience in a secluded tunnel on a gondola. Lucanis's back is to us and his shirt is half off. Rook is obscured by Lucanis but the two are kissing.
Lucanis executing an ancient God with a lyrium dagger by stabbing him in the back. The God has a skull like face and and a horned helmet. Grey fog leaves his throat as he perishes with the word "URK"
Throwing the smiley faces in there is just cruel
Law would've been a cool uncle tbh. Too bad that'll never happen :) I wonder if he ever thinks about that :) That he could've been an uncle if Lami hadn't died, and had gotten to grow up and live a normal life :) He's not the most fond of kids, but I feel like if he had a little niece and nephew they'd be the one (1) exception :) Too bad it can't happen
MegaCon JATP Info dump:
How they imagined the ending:
Reggie takes over the Hollywood Ghost Club
Luke stays with Julie
Willie & Alex cross over
What Hogwarts House would their characters be in:
Reggie -> Hufflepuff
Alex -> Slytherin
Julie -> Gryffindor
Madi to the guys: Uhm?
Owen & Jeremy, in sync: Gryffindor!
If they could make any advice to their characters, what would it be:
Jeremy to Reggie: Make that country album!
Owen to Alex: Take one day at a time and lean on your friends.
Madi to Julie: Girl, he's a ghost.
Favorite Song to film/record:
Owen -> Stand Tall
Jeremy -> Now or Never
Madi -> Finally Free
Favorite Outfit:
Owen: Zip pants & Hoodie
Jeremy: Leather jacket (it got customized to be more stretchy so he could move and jump around)
Madi: 'I got the music' outfit
(Owen and Jeremy both talked about how much freedom they got with the outfits. Kenny wanted them to feel comfortable in their clothes.)
Random stuff:
Jeremy jumped off the stage for the Now or Never scene so often his knee started hurting
During the rehearsal for 'This Band his back' Jeremy stumbled over Charlie's guitar while jumping on the chairs. He fell and cut his hand, so in the filmed version, Reggie has a band-aid on one of his fingers
The suits for Stand Tall cost over $3000
'Nothing to lose' got almost cut bc they didn't have enough budget to film it. But Kenny somehow made it happen.
Originally, Reggie was supposed to lose a shoe instead of his shirt. But nobody would have seen that, so they changed it to losing the shirt.
Most awkward moment: For the dinner scene, the guys had to hide in a tiny closet, and Jeremy and Owen were staring into each other's eyes.
They really tried to make a tour happen
Owen was terrified of filming 'All Eyes on Me'
Off-Topic: But during Jeremy's voice acting panel, Owen was hanging out in the audience to watch it.
