Hallowe'en Header: In
the 2010 Hallowe'en header, the words "West of Bathurst by Kari Maaren"
are barely discernible in the darkness; they're lit only by a candle
held by Marie, who is glancing towards Casey. He is on the other side
of the panel, only just visible.
Panel 1: Marie
and Evil Marie stand in the doorway to Marie's bedroom. What appears to
be a dishevelled Casey in ragged clothing is sitting on the floor in
chains.
Marie: C-Casey?
Evil Marie: That's not Casey.
Panel 2:
Marie: It looks like--
Evil Marie: Listen. That...thing...is not your friend. Don't go losing track of what's real.
Panel 3:
Marie: I know he's not real; I just don't know why part of my subconscious is turning up in the form of Casey in chains.
Panel 4:
Evil Marie: There's a really easy answer to that one, but I'm too freaked out to imbue it with the vicious glee it deserves.
Marie: ...Yay?
Alt-Text: Poor Evil Marie simply hasn't had enough opportunities for vicious glee lately.
