XFranz: ...and I particularly wanted you to meet my dear friend Weston Purdue. West, you know the Estevez family --
West: Of course I know. A pleasure, madam.
Quinn: And you must be Senator Purdue's son. Are you still working on that Porttown project the Council funded?
West: Ah... that fell through, actually. I'm doing something new. Believe it or not there's been quite the surge of small enterprises in Lowtown recently. With some work I think there could be some real businesses established there.
Riley: Because Lowtown needs a rich politician's son telling them what to do.
Quinn: Behave, Riley.
Riley: Why?
Quinn: Because this is Uptown, and in Uptownn one at least pretends to tolerance and grace. It's the price for all the free food and booze.
West: My mother is not rich.
Franz: What Lowtown needs is irrelevant. We're talking about people with money. If they can achieve some success, then real businessment can make a killing. But I wouldn't expect someone of your background to see that. Quinn and I, of course, can focus on the bigger picture.
Riley: Tolerance and grace, eh? Do show me. I'm anxious to see how someone of your background manages.
Quinn: We lie through our teeth. And take our frustrations out on our friends.
West: Of course I know. A pleasure, madam.

Update on the site:
Aside from the maybe-they-work-maybe-not comments (ETA: Nope, still broken. Screw. Time to talk with tech support), there are only two known issues with the site as of right now:
- One, the synopsis page. Only about half the links work. I'm going through the archives adding news and scripts manually and updating it as I go.
-Two, the credits page, which had gotten out of control: with luck I'll be able to devise a system that's easier for everyone concerned. -
Anything else, you are now free to whine about.
On the up side, there's a couple of hopefully-cool changes you may have noticed:
- A text script for the comic is now visible just above the newsbox (click 'show/hide today's script' to toggle). This has the potential for nifty tricks, but right now, it's mostly a place for me to put French translations and such. It also includes links to the Cast profile of all speakers, so if you've forgotten who someone is this is a good place to start.
- On a related note, I've revamped the Cast page to reflect my miniature army of a cast; it's easier to navigate now and has a bit more information.
- There's a links page now. The text links to the right of the comic represent a random selection of comics from it. This, too, may grow more features.
Sitll on the list are a fanart page, some kind of dictionary feature, a replacement for the Amazon box which does not chew server resources, and a few other bits and pieces. Additional suggestions are welcomed. Well, I'll growl and grumble a bit, but that's a form of welcome. Really.
