Coffee and Steampunk

flyboy_foxHeh. Miles may have (finally) got the memo that he can't take over my body or my life... but he's slowly but surely taking over my apartment ^^; He's got his own towel, clothes, shower stuff ('cause he won't touch my Mint Candy shower stuff), and FAR too much coffee stuff for any reasonable person. Seriously, let's see... we have instant espresso, mocha, Colombian instant coffee (or at least we DID until the whole jar mysteriously vanished into thin air along with Jei's iPod, straaange), more Colombian coffee (the non-instant kind), a cafetière, a cappuccino mug, an espresso cup... Ah. Do we NEED all this, Miles? I don't even really drink coffee, but oh well. If Miles has to hook himself on something, I guess coffee is a better fix than vodka ^^;; He also intends to get a leather-bound journal and a fountain pen, as I think I said before. I know that what he'd REALLY like is his own room in the flat, or at least a little corner to make up as his own space... but this tiny apartment doesn't even have room for Jei and I to have our own set areas (not that we really need 'em). More and more I do feel like four people live here instead of two, even if Scourge is (oddly) the quietest and least intrusive one.
*Eyes can of 'Relentless' energy drink on his desk* ... ugh, god damn it, no more caffeine, please~! I wonder if other people with 'bonds' end up completely separating their lives like this, with their own belongings, food, clothes etc. I suppose you'd have to, right? Unless you were spiritually twins in all your likes and dislikes and habits.
Okay, I am going to try to talk about something different. Here we go!
Feedback appreciated on the below! ♥
Jei and I are going to start up a webcomic. No, not a Sonic and Tails one (tempting as that idea is). It's going to be an original (as much as such a thing can be) Steampunk adventure comic, tentatively titled 'Calamity!'. [If anyone decides to tell me that 'Professor Calamity' is already the name of a prolific guy in the Steampunk community I will bite you. I only found out about him today, and 'Calamity' has been my main character in this story's last name for over 7 months now D: I like it too much to change it unless I stumble across something amazingly better before the first page goes up (and 'sides, he's an airship mechanic, not a professor).] It's gonna be full-page, coloured and sepia-toned, hopefully once or twice per week with me writing it and Jei drawing/colouring. There may be hints of a relationship between the main character and his friend that he adventures with (lol they are both boys, am I edgy yet? No? Aww) but the main theme will be wacky adventures and epic landscapes and crazy scrapes. We have some pretty neat ideas already, so I'm REALLY hoping this will work out. It would be great to work on something original and completely ours for once. I know that there are only so many different basic stories in existence and that true originality in a set genre (such as Steampunk) is a difficult thing to accomplish... but we're gonna try, and hey, pretty art, yush~?
So I wonder if anyone reading would be at all interested in reading this and giving feedback/ideas/crit once the first few pages are up? Heck, we're mainly doing it for fun, so if it doesn't take off we won't be too upset. But a readership, if only a small one, would be absolutely the icing on the proverbial cake (:
Okie-dokie, guess that's all for now ^^ Laters!
