You examine the WALL PROJECTION, a cycling of various business-like charts, graphs and other displays from the office hostage map in Counter-Strike: Source. You don't actually use them for anything, nor do you know why you keep them up; they used to be funny, now they're just IRONIC.

You suppose you could always just shut off the projector, but frankly, you can't be arsed. Besides, you think the projection is actually built into the wall by nature of the map design, so you're stuck with it either way.

Taken together, this comic is the story of how I finally read Homestuck. I had made two false starts prior, once shortly after the conclusion of Problem Sleuth and then another maybe about a year or so later. Trying to figure out mythmonster2's avatar led me to the MSPA Wiki months before I was inspired to do this; at the time I hadn't realized Jack was a Homestuck character.

The script was constructed backwards based on snippets I'd read on the wiki, starting from "You could not kill the girl" and building a comic around it. Ever the perfectionist, to ensure I got Jack's nuances right, I hunkered down late December and read the entire archives in under a week. Originally the cartoon was to be done in "my" style, but when I began, I suddenly had the stroke of genius to imitate the MSPA format.

I'm very happy with the result.
