As a long time Chronicstuss fan, I can’t say I remember “The Five.” The premise you describe though seems to be more along the lines of “The Stalker,” but regardless of the name I’m excited to see what you wrote!
"The Five" in question is from a long time ago, one he deleted from his account, so I can't link to it. It's my favorite chronicstuss story.
I'm not even sure I want to say anything about it because, y'know, spoilers.** So the only hint I'll offer is that it involves five high school students vacationing on an island, unaware that there's something sinister going on around them.
** My adaptation expands on the original, both with some prefatory material and also deeper dives into the characters, but is very faithful to the original, even to verbatim dialogue. So, seriously, there would be spoilers if I described the original in any but the most hand-wavy detail.
I did tone down the ... method ... by which identities are assumed, because I didn't feel like diving into some pretty grotty details over which the original webcomic glosses.
The Five? Like, the story about five tattooed guys that wear skinsuits of hot women to try to kill Saddam or something, where the tattooed guys are basically The Rock and Vin Diesel?
(Why yes, I am familiar with chronicstuss, which is why it took me by surprise. Not that I know him, but I've seen his work - specifically Simple Simon, The Cult, The Shaman, The Skinwalker, Fast Teddy, etc.)
I'll mention that since the chapters are mine, any GPs will wind up going to me but I'll be sure to pass them along to Seuzz. So if you're the type to donate in these polls they'll still be going to the right place, it'll just involve a middleman.
Okay, so as promised yesterday, there are actually two new chapters from me today.
One of them is very short and does nothing except set up another round of choices in the last storyline, and it's only there to set up a poll: "Invalid Item" . Like yesterday's poll, not all the interactive choices are included. Here is the actual chapter: "A Team Play" (public) + "A Team Play" (interactive)
Meanwhile, as promised, here is the start of another storyline: "Anyone for Tennis?" (public) + "Anyone for Tennis?" (interactive). Background: Will needs a new identity, but at the same time he is wondering about how Gordon Black—who unwillingly has been thrust into the form and life of "Will Prescott"—is handling things. So he has decided to take over the life of someone that Gordon/Will has started hanging out with.
Oh, and yes, yesterday's poll only ran for 19 hours because I was late getting it up. But the winning choice was beating the other two-to-one, and that wasn't going to turn around in five hours.
