Discussion for comic for 2006-05-12 (Friday) ✣ .

After transcribing the below I checked the Y! group, thinking surely I just duplicated someone's effort, but a search for "Dimo" in the bodies of messages from 2006-05-11 to 05-18 didn't turn up anything relevant. Looks like the the discussion starts with Poor Lars... (getting light-headed) ⚙Zarchne 17:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

My guesses:

• 1,2,3: probably Sturvin, Veilchen, and Lars; guessing respectively, hard to say for sure
• 4: Zeetha, obviously.
• 5: Maxim is closest to Zeetha when the light comes on, and likely to be polite. Also, these are possibly the only two lines Zeetha and Maxim have on this page.
• 6,8: Oggie is next to...
• 7: Dimo when the light comes on, and best fits the respective comic & straight personalities of these two.
• 9,11: Maybe Krosp.
• 10: Lars and Zeetha were last to be seen holding lanterns, way back when Kalikoff led them into the Deepdown. Let's guess Lars.
• 12,14: Veilchin would have the best awareness to ask this question of...
• 13,15,17: Sturvin, surely.
• 16: How about Krosp, again?
• 18, 20: If this is the same as 21, then Sturvin, handing the "rock" to Lars. Otherwise Lars, searching for the latern he dropped.
• 19: Someone familiar with caves or sewers, and not Jäger. Maybe Veilchen. However, if partner 18, 20 is Lars, then Sturvin.
• 21: Sturvin appears to be the one who worked the lighter, while Lars held the "rock".
• 22, 23 (in the light)
• 25, 27: Going to go with Krosp. Sounds like him. Possibly Lars, though.
• 28: At first, guessing Krosp again. He was looking away from the lantern, likely to regain a cool head, and probably has better dark adaptation than anyone. Zeetha's hands are full. Sturvin is another possibility... he presumably knows what he's looking for, and given that 27 & 28 are both said without breaking train of thought in 24-26-29-30, probably two different people. Veilchen doesn't exclaim when he talks. Maybe Lars, but I would have expected him to be too shaken. Okay, Sturvin. No, Lars.
• 24, 26, 29, 30: All one statement, revealed to be spoken by Dimo.
