As for now, the only thing we have are bodyless voices floating in the void, watching the fireworks.
The question is, if it's a power they are using or if the image isn't showing them for other purposes...
I'd continue reading just to find out, what's going on and how the characters look like.
The next page shows what the two characters look like and what shenanigans Atrina is getting into.
In retrospect I think it should be clearer that Leawyn is the narrator.
Thanks for your feedback.
And a small idea: how about not connecting the speech bubbles to anywhere? Does make it look like the voices are audible, but the speakers not around. With your solution I do get more the feeling, that they are bodyless entities talking in the air.
Yeah, it's definitely not present-age! It's actually well after a post-apocalyptic future, my secret weakness is worldbuilding on the bones of a civilization that destroyed itself. One of my favorite things in Star Wars EU was how say, Korriban clearly had been occupied well before KotOR and there's all this abandoned remnants of history to be found and interpreted. Or Mass Effect, similar sort of theme.
So, the world gets pretty well totaled and set back to level 0. Tech level on the main planet, Damera, is presently at the early 1900s. Steam trains, cars on the Model A level, telegraphs, clockwork. The other major planet explored did not have a crash, and is at a hard science fiction level, space travel, technology advanced well beyond ours.
I would hold that Stargazer's Gate is fantasy/steampunk/adventure by theme and presentation, but there are multiple inhabited planets, at least one alien race, and the remaining advanced technology of the gates, not to mention space travel.
So think Knights of the Old Republic, but instead of starting in space, you start in Gondor.
It's definitely not going to be military science fiction by any stretch of the imagination. We'll stick with "it's space fantasy", maybe, which is to be honest what I'd consider Star Wars and its EU. Then we get down to the argument of significantly advanced science might as well be magic and other nitty gritty questions of genre.
I wouldn't say it just "happens" to be in the future because that's a critical part of the setting, but it's not hard science fiction by a long shot. Still, you might enjoy it!
