Okay, getting down to some brass tacks.

Thoos and Picknar sat on the bridge of Thoos’s ship as Audri (with Purrloin on her back) and Val entered. Val said, “Okay, Here I am. I was finally feeling well enough to shuttle over her from Lasper’s ship and face you two.” Picknar said, “Okay. Well, to start with, we’re all in agreement to try to reverse this body swap thing, right?” Val said, “Yes.” Thoos said, “Whatever the cost.” With arms flung out, Audri said, “Yes. If for no other reason than to forget the withering repulsion in Nick’s eyes. I’ve never had much issue with negative self-image, but I certainly do now.” Thoos observed, “You do know that for a Tithoron you’re drop-dead gorgeous.” Audri replied sarcastically, “Wow. Totally useful information if I was trying to attract a deep shag carpet!”

How did they get in the other ship? Are those two docked?
Hrm. Just a shuttle. Or the rear (exit) of Thoos’s ship could be connected to the bottom (exit) of Lasper’s ship. I was wondering if it needed to be illustrated, or if we could all just pretend it doesn’t matter. Ha! Anyhow. Okay, I’ll slip that info in at some point. 🙂
The simplest solution ended up being just adding to Val’s first line in this strip. So I did. 🙂
“In other words, drop dead!”
“Getting down to some brass tacks.”
Well you might need tacks if you’re trying to attract a carpet.
Brass tacks are generally more useful than brass knuckles. Typically. Of course, it depends on which side you’re on, and your personal appetite for crunching teeth. Not that unusual to find in this Galaxy, unfortunately.
