Nan Quest



"''Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

’relax,’ said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.

You can checkout any time you like,

But you can never leave!''"

Spiritual Sequel to the famed Ruby Quest, drawn/written by the same author, Weaver. Nan Quest is the story of Nan, a goat. Links to the threads can be found here.

Nan has the ability to hum showtunes. She is a repairwoman, and today she is doing some jobs. One in an arcade, and one in a hotel.

In the arcade, she fixes a fusebox, gets a check for her services, and some free pizza from the owner.

She then bikes off to the hotel with her pizza, where she is to fix a broken outlet. In the hotel... Well..
