Violet (narrating): She woulda been about your age — physically — when we visited Central to check out the long-runner resources.
You’ll like the Center! It’s set up for people of all heights. I guess it should’ve been obvious she’d been there before . . .
Cymbeline: Whee!
Hi! I’m Cymbeline Dupont. But I’m registered here already as Radiance Cannelle.
Violet (narrating): . . . and that she might have . . . old friends.
Olive: No way. Radiance??
Cymbeline: That’s right!
Olive: It’s Olive Romarin!
Cymbeline: Wow! And you’re older than me now!

…Ah fuck.
Dun-dun-DUN!
Is 2525 the year the flashback is taking place in? Now I’m all curious about timelines and stuff.
I’m wondering if man is still alive.
Well, that might help explain all the resources they have for long-runners and why she’s such a popular president.
I’m pretty sure this is before Miss Romarin’s first term this time around. She may have been elected previously, though!
I wonder if the controversy about Olive being President as a long-runner is that the monarchy always prioritized reincarnations of Rhodon, so reincarnation is associated with not democracy.
Also if Olive has been in power for multiple lifetimes…
You’re a genius.
I would just like to say that I love the architecture and perspective of the building in panel 1. Glorious work!
Ah HA.
Is this also part of the rumor mill against her? Or is it unknown, or just Not A Big Deal?
And is it a trend for long-runners to come back Getsunese these days?
It’s well known! That’s how she got elected so “young.” She ran on her record — all of it.
Most long-runners come back as the same ethnicity as their previous body, or closely related. The more distant you go, the less likely it is. Blush Noisette just got (un)lucky.
“Yep its 2525” if that’s the year, that’s pretty interesting considering the third page says Thorn graduated University in 1337

That was less snarky in my head, sorry.
Both of those are gags/references — I’ve been consciously avoiding putting serious years on anything, so that I don’t have to start making timelines and charts. Right now I can handwave any inconsistencies by saying they were from different cultures with different calendars.
I laughed at “leet” first time I noticed. I’m unfamiliar with the other.
However, roughly a year later, Erin gave us a timeline. This storyline takes place in the Summer of 3013 RE, meaning that book might be a newer edition of a book that was titled as such when that was the year!
In case you care, Radiance is spelled differently the two times it appears in the strip !
Fixed, thanks!
