Show page transcript

[PANEL 1]
The two other employees who have been seen in the background, Harper and Volume, approach. Harper looks irritated and has her arm out in a confronting way. Volume follows behind her carrying two stacked boxes that almost are taller than him. In the foreground, Amp is still pointing at Rhapsody from the previous panel.
HARPER: Y'know, how come when I talk to my friends on the job, I get yelled at, but when Humdrum does it, you join in?

[PANEL 2]
Amp responds with an irritated gaze and crosses her arms.
AMP: Because I like Humdrum more.
Maz and Rhapsody watch Amp respond, Humdrum is in the background behind the desk, blowing a bubble while looking at her phone.

[PANEL 3]
Harper leans forwards towards the camera, putting her hands on her hips and barking angrily.
HARPER: That's fucked up! I do my work! I pay my taxes!
Volume, who is setting down the boxes in an aisle behind Harper, responds calmly.
VOLUME: At least one of those things is demonstrably untrue.

Amp Harper Humdrum Mazurka Rhapsody

Author's Notes

Introducing Humdrum's other co-worker, Volume! Well, kind of. He was supposed to have a character page ready for today like Harper last week, but I got a little distracted by work on future pages themselves. So Volume's character page will come sometime soon (I hope lol).

Also, that's not just a joke. Harper is definitely on parole. I just haven't figured out what for yet.

[PANEL 1]
Harper and Volume have now turned towards each other, with Harper putting her hands on her hips and leaning forwards with an angry scowl and Volume crossing his arms back in a clear attempt to piss her off.
HARPER: Excuse me?? Do you want me to kill you? Because this is how you get me to kill you.
VOLUME: And what would your parole officer say about attempted murder?
HARPER: I dunno, let's find out!

[PANEL 2]
Harper and Volume erupt into a dust-cloud fight. Onomatopoeia showing "WHACK!" and "BAM!" come off the cloud, as their limbs protrude.

[PANEL 3]
Mazurka and Rhapsody look on with concerned expressions, while Amp pinches her nose bridge and closes her eyes in frustration.
AMP: Sigh... Not again...
Humdrum, unphased, looks down at her phone behind all of them.

[PANEL 4]
Humdrum looks over to Amp and gestures towards the fight with one hand.
HUMDRUM: So, like, am I good to go on lunch while this is happening?
Amp half-opens her eyes with an exasperated exhaustion.
AMP: Unfortunately, due to labor laws, I am obligated to say yes.
