THAT'S IT! YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

You've been waiting in the most recent panel of Bard Quest for what now feels like TENS OF MINUTES, and there are no signs whatsoever of this comic unpausing any time soon. You have to take action. You have to FINISH JESTER QUEST.

It is only when you finish your own adventure, that you can have any hope of expecting another's adventure to continue, said a wise man once, perhaps. It's possible you just made that aphorism up, but it sounds pretty cool and wise, and you're very impatient, so you choose to believe it.

Even though you are technically situated in the most recent panel of Bard Quest, by virtue of the fact that you are a fully sovereign jester in the thick of your own quest, you are on some page of Jester Quest right now as well. Still a very early page of JQ, even though you've been toiling away in the bunker 18 years, which you think is very unfair. You feel like more of that time should be applied to your adventure, so that you're close to the end. But you guess you aren't the one writing this fucking story, so instead you're only on page 96.

You could progress through pages the normal way by just waiting for time to pass and perform various actions as usual, or you can speed things up by concentrating real hard and being future jesters. We think we both know which course of action you will be taking here.
