Yeah, even when Snuka loses all of his memories and has no idea where he is or even who he is, his most central character trait, criminality, shines through. It’s probably either genetic or he’s part of some chthonic deities vast and inscrutable plan for the salvation or destruction of mankind, his thieving hands being a constant throughout countless parallel universes, his predilection for stealthy acquisition a trait maintained through all extremities by stable time-loops reaching back toward the beginnings of life on Earth. Or, perhaps, he just wasn’t hit on the head hard enough.

And Snuka is not only in luck for being able to hang on to a small but crucial fragment of his personality, he’s also really fortunate to have ended up in a place where reactions to him vary so wildly – the kind of behaviour depicted in panel three is something he’s never experienced before, while panel four isn’t any worse than his daily routine during his early adolescence. As for why the person in panel three accepts the destruction of her property and the pilfering of her meager possessions so well…uh, no idea. I’ve always wondered about it, myself. >_>

Other than that, Snuka can only confirm the experiences his friends had already made in Atlantis, especially concerning the inhabitants’ oddly repetitive speech patterns. He did manage to intercept one useful bit of information, though, and fortunately he was immediately aware of its importance because…uh…
…it showed up in his journal by itself? …the font had a different color? …it had voice acting, while everything else was just text? Something along those lines, I’m sure. >_>

But while there can be no doubt that that little bit of gossip Snuka heard is deeply meaningful, it does not tell us the identities of the two mysterious prisoners. It would have been nice, for a change, to receive such information without unnecessary and incompetent attempts at building suspense, but it just wasn’t to be.

In other news, this clip caused me to ponder:

Perhaps I would enjoy being a bit more free-spending with human life around here? =P

More on Monday.
