/puts hands on the table.

Ah, good afternoon, my good man. Please, take a seat.
I wager you're here to inquire "what is the meaning of this?"
Well, you know I have taken up a part time career in Spiral Spy, do you not?
And, well, the other day I was rifling through the Adventure Is Delicious archives.
"Angerday's starting a comic?" I thought.
I realized there were four SK fancomics now, two of them by people who started after I did. I was a slow learner, after all, so I shrugged and went back to my daily grind, pushing the issue to the back of my mind once more.
But the following day I saw a post on AiD. Here is an excerpt of the most important(to me) part:
-
Tovvok and Angerday have inspired me to make a comic too.. it looks really fun. o3o

Anyway this is small sneak at it, I’ll add a teaser comic later. :3
-
...I have no idea who posted it, but...another comic? That's it, I thought, time to get my [EXPLETIVE] together and make one myself.

But first I wondered, what should it be about?
Battles? Nah, the other comics had way too much of those already.
Then it hit me. It hit me like a stapler.
Devilites.
I decided on centering the comic on Dilbert-ish office humor.
Next I alighted on the last issue I needed to resolve before starting.
What should I name it?
"Hmm, lemme see," I thought.
"Nine to Five?" I said to myself.
"No, no, I think I have the perfect name for it now..."
925.
Current ETA: Sometime In The Next Couple Of Months Or Something Like That

Is that all? Oh, good. Thank you for your time. Please accept these complementary salted peanuts.
Good day to you.

No subject line spam here, move along

Also, as to "why two months?" it's because my computer is VERY uncooperative these days. Heck it's not so much a computer as it is a plastic shell containing a gigantic fustercluck of failed startups and unexpected shutdowns. It took THREE attempts to get this to boot up just now.

Also if anyone would be willing to help out and make a Devilish Drudgery map then that would be tops.

Also, rolecasting goes here. Making another thread would make me look too much like Happy. Uniqueness, everyone.
Only submit Devilites for the meantime.

Blade-Of-Citrus

so is this like an RP?

Office humor, sure, why not? I could help you with set building, just need some sort of description.

One question though, will it be just devilites, or will they be the other fiends as well? greavers as mail carriers? Trojans as the police force? silk wings as some sort of doctor type?

Haha, sounds like fun

Here, have a character. No app, so you get some paragraphs.

Name: Batii

Batii is your average disgruntled receptionist; she takes messages, routes calls and mail, receives visitors and let's the bosses know of their arrival, books meetings, and dispatches underlings to tedious tasks ... all with an attitude. The only real reason she gets away with being snarky, sarcastic, and sometimes downright rude is that she's monstrously efficient, sometimes even completing tasks before the Boss realizes he wants them done. She has a very Dilbert-esque page-a-day calendar on her desk

She's the oldest of 23 kids (do devilites have families?)... which kinda' explains why she's bossy and impatient with stupid. She doesn't mind newbies in the office that need help learning where to go and what to do, as long as they don't show that they're completely brain dead. If the devilites in this comic have individual dwellings, she lives alone in a small, impeccably kept flat, which is devoid of personality except for the spare bedroom ... which is full of the quirky paraphernalia she loves to collect but wouldn't want anyone else to see. She has a terrible weakness for super cute things like baby animals, but tries to curb it if someone should show up with such a thing at work.

Batii has some lady friends who, for the most part, are a cosmopolitan bunch. They all work in different offices than she does. Her love life is more a series of one night stands or week-long "relationships", mostly with much younger devilites. Some of these are office "romances", but usually with dudes from other departments.

(Would you like me to make her model if you decide you like the character? I just got the most amusing idea for a pink Yesman that I want to use. XD

Edit: Here, have a model: https://www.dropbox.com/s/anbwb8tn9lm6y72/Batii.zip
SpiralSpy isn't working on my regular Spiral Folder, so I had to work from the Spiral_preview folder and you'll probably have to re-link the pieces.)

Dance if you wanna, leave your friends behind

@Citrus: Just a basic Devilish Drudgery environment would be all I need. Thanks in advance.

@Tev: Go ahead and make the model if you want.

Response delayed due to uncooperative electronics.

How do you make those?

Do you use GIMP?

@Tohru

If you're talking to me: no, I don't. I edit the skin itself in Photoshop (although you could use GIMP for that step), then apply it in SpiralSpy and attach accessories before saving the new model. Tovvok actually has an excellent YouTube tutorial on attaching accessories if you're interested.

#Tev: Had to do a li'l rerouting, but things worked all right. Pretty good.
#Tohru: If you mean the green PB well I'm a lazy arschloch and can't retexture worth [EXPLETIVE] so I used the magic of recoloration.

Anyway, this looks pretty interesting!

Name: Hank B.L.E.C.H Chlorine

Hank is the Epitome of lazy. Flunking in his studies, he was only able to get a job at the office as a janitior.

He is lazy, tired, and unkept and almost incompotent as a janitor, his reason for keeping his job is a mystery. He's rude to most people and is most of the time, a drunkard.

He seems to not have much friends as he is mostly a loner, not even putting himself in similar groups they think he should be.

He usually looks like a blarful in scrubs. He seems to have a blackened skin tone.
