Let's di-di RIGHT NOW!
Tut tut. First it was Verity’s knee and now it’s a torrent of foul language.
I can't help but notice that you didn't also deny being a fox.
Whelp. Those of you who said drugged Doris was looking very comfortable in Tim's arms back then...
You called it.
Panel 3: BOTH of the expressions! Particularly Verity looking off and "foof"ing some hair off her face...
Coming Soon: [Slap-Slap-Kiss](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SlapSlapKiss "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SlapSlapKiss")
I love Lei and Vee's matching expressions of alarm in the last panel.
They have many talents but they'll never be any good at poker.
"mean owt" ?
I think owt is dialect for anything. Not sure what dialect, I'm not British. A northern one, I think - reminds me of "The Secret Garden."
nowt = nought = nothing
owt = ought = anything
at least, that's what I'm guessing. i find the english to be inexplicable
You're dead on for nowt. 'Owt' is actually aught, not ought -- they're pronounced the same way, but aught means "some/something/anything".
Most languages have evolved, partly by borrowing words. English emerged full-formed from the brow of Xaos. It evolves by mugging other languages in alleyways and stealing all their best words.
Although, to be fair, aught and ought are actually derived from Anglo-Saxon by way of Middle English. Oddly, they're actually words with a long history in English.
i ought to have known that i don't know aught about naught, y'know?
'Does that mean anything to you'? Sounds like Yorkshire or Lancashire.
Looking forward to seeing her tag promoted from "Doris the False Maid" to "Doris the Real Mrs. Chiang"
Perhaps it is Phase 2, act 3? Or Act 3, Phase 2? These plots can get convoluted!
Doris' accent seems to swerve violently between East London and Yorkshire by was of the West country. I'd have expected a bit more 'thee' and 'aye' (and 'lass' instead of 'wench') if it were full Yorkshire, though.
Well, Doris is a bit mad at them, so calling them wenches is fitting either way, I would think. She might have used the word lass if they were on better terms (and they hadn't previously knocked her unconscious)
I'm not a student of English dialects, but I'd bet that 'wench' is probably universal, at least in some form. Just like aught/owt and naught/nowt, wench is from old English by way of middle English.
You can get more Yorkshire accent than you can handle on "Last of the Summer Wine"
(Tha can get more o' tha Yorkshire accent than tha cn' tek ere)

I briefly thought she was wearing a kippah in panel 3, but it was just a cloud of steam.
I LIKE her!
I'm reading Doris's accent as Yorkshire or thereabouts, am I right? Or I'm way off and it's Cockney?
yeah, yorkshire :)
Woooooooooh this is a really really good webcomic. Just hit the end, time to wait.
aw thanks, glad you enjoyed it :3
Wel phase 1 was teleporting to the location of the non-anchor.
I'm guessing phase 2 is activating the door to the anchor? Possibly opening the Door?
Maybe i missed something, but it seems as if there should be a new comic?
Hope nothing's wrong...
it's late cus its a big busy page, i mentioned it on twitter. my apologies
No prob.
I don't do Twitter, so...
====================
"Big busy page"?
Puts me in mind of that chase through the castle in Darken...
