Transcript For Strip 1779

Panel 1
Diana is walking through the mercado concourse, carrying her flyer-case as usual. Her hair is now back to normal, but she still looks a bit tired, bags under eyes.
Caption: Fortunately I also carry a hairbrush in my coat pocket.
Caption: My coat is awesome. It has lots of pockets, and I carry a lot of stuff, but it doesn't weigh me down.
Caption: It was a gift from Monty, my first real friend here in the city.
Panel 2
She is pausing in front of the same RPLD storefront we saw way back in strip 005. She's reading something on a window sign.
Caption: I knew I wasn't in any shape to interview people.
Caption: But I've walked by this place at least 50 times, and I've gotten curious.
Caption: And apparently there's someone speaking here.
Panel 3
Inside the storefront, she is greeted by a Conehead woman standing behind a counter.
Conehead woman: Bonne après-midi! Comment puis-je vous aider ?
Diana: Ah, well, I understand you have … ah … Zéphyrine Aziz speaking here and I'd hoped to listen-in.
Conehead woman: In the back, past the red door.
Panel 4
Diana has entered a back room, arranged as a small meeting-hall with a raised dias. She looks across a sea of variously-shaped heads at Aziz giving forth, as a pair of Coneheads stand to either side behind her. A few other Coneheads clustered near a rear exit. Aziz is tall, lithe, dark-skinned, beautiful.
Caption: Aziz had already started when I arrived.
Caption: The crowd was a lot more mixed than I expected. Furries, Classics, Trans, and a cluster of Coneheads.
