Thank you so much Rotohail for all these comments! :)
You're damn right, one big problem with this version of the story is that it is excruciatingly slow to get into action. Some previous versions were much more hectic, for instance the two immortals died crossing the empire's border (and revived) in the first chapter. Also the drawings and situations were much funnier, and the speech bubbles were more varied too. This one is like a psychological novel where everybody stays calm, and the truth about the immortals is discovered bit by bit by Blitz the inn's slave. I'm getting old or something...
I haven't read Blame but I looked up the Cibo character; yes, there is something. I called Horchata that because of her being as pale as the beverage and cold-hearted: "sangre de horchata" - I speak a bit of Spanish indeed but my native language is French, yours is Spanish, right?
If you like the scroll comic format you should read some online if you don't already know webtoons.com or other sites. Many are designed to be read on a phone screen, which explains the vertical layout and big text.
I hadn't expected the last inktober to have any effect. It was more of a joke on my laziness to make a drawing a day :D Thanks!
I dug up a few very old background data on this comic project. Some more immortals:
This is scene 7, insanely condensed. Normally one would follow Zaitun from the garden to inside the inn and his thoughts on the situation, to get to know him and the place better:
