The problem in all this is that Dan HAVE to use magic because he doesn't have the time to dye either his fur or hair. But I agree witht he fact that with everything he did with his wings, he won't have any trouble hidding them... but again, it's up to Amber in the end.

[Arcalane]

I dunno, I think Abel looks fairly tomboyish and freckly right now. It's probably just the combination of fringe and spotty markings though.

Cute-ish, but not the sort of person you'd want to grope because they'd probably kick you where it counts. And not just because Abel is really a guy under all that. (Or is he? We never really got to see because Fa`Lina interrupted!)

butbutbut.... the tomboys are the best kind!

'm not saying there's anything wrong[/i] with 'em, I'm just saying Abel looks tomboyish.

[Boog]

As far as the breasts are concerned, my reaction would've been as follows: "You can use magic to create fake knockers?  That's a nifty trick.  Great at parties.  But the real question is; can you make balloon animals out of them?"

Do you mean making balloon animals out of magic, or making balloon animals out of magically-crafted jigglies? Because either would have vast entertainment value.

On a side note, the hair really is a cool shade of blue.

And I too hate to admit it... but I surprisingly got through this topic without flinching... I am now worried 

Coming from the guy with a nekked Dan in his sig...

Yup! Nekkid Dan is much less traumatic on the eyes then manbewbs Abel :p That, and the whole milk discussion

Of course, the OMGWTF in my sig has to be my favorite wallpaper war moment of all time.  

[DigitalMan]

*ponders* Hey... couldn't they just use the Warp-Aci to bring Alexsi back in an instant? Not that it'd be remotely insane enough for this comic...

[Psaakyrn]

Not really because warp-aci needs activation time, and there're likely guards.

What would be more ackward though, is if Destinia or Edward were to make a impromptu visit during the inspection, and recognise Abel and/or Pyroduck in the process. (no matter how they decide to disguise themselves as Alexsi and Merlitz, it's gonna turn out ackward..)

[ITOS]

I'm not sure of how Warp-Aci work but wouldn't Fi need to know where to go? So you don't end up 5 meters above ground or inside someone's house or something?

[Arcalane]

It would seem so, because Fi had to be snailmailed, disguised as a letter, to Dan's house in order to drag him back to SAIA.

[ShiningShadow]

At this point in time the laught riot continues  . Anywho I think the only way that Dan will go back to train is that he is not going back..................

[ShiningShadow]

I could be worse naked Dan with the Boobs and doing that milkshake dance *shudders*

NOOOOOOOOO~~

But anyway.
Where did the Abel Boobies go?

...

[terrycloth]

Alter self, when you just have to fit the part, and no one has bothered to activate true seeing.

Does true seeing show the true original form when the body has been physically changed (rather than using illusions)? If so, that would make the true sight an illusion overlaying the actual current form.

True seeing does see through alteration magic in addition to illusion. It also sees werewolves for what they are no matter what form they're currently in.

It's not that it creates an illusion overlaying the actual current form, though -- it lets you see *reality* as unaltered by ongoing magic. What non-instantaneous magic does isn't exactly real.

Where do people get all this background info on DMFA? o_O

[Sid]

Where do people get all this background info on DMFA? o_O

Comic archives + age-old discussion threads + a few explanation snippets from Amber + wild extrapolation + guessing

At least that's my quick theory. I might've missed a few things, though

[Zedd]

Not to mention try to understand the working minds of Amber

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Now -there's- a recipe for trouble :-)

[Sid]

Not to mention try to understand the working minds of Amber

Like I said: "wild extrapolation + guessing" *hides in a bunker*

[Tapewolf]

Is this 'True Seeing' business something that's been discussed in the context of DMFA before, or are people just taking the D&D spell (which I know very little about) and assuming that DMFA has it too?

[terrycloth]

No, neither?

Someone started talking about 'Alter Self', which is a D+D spell that does sort of the same thing that Abel just did.

[LigerJet]

Mmm...mebbe we should have a sticky about all this background information.  I've never played D&D myself.

[bill]

It's not really background info. These threads tend to dig waaaay deeply into the storyline. Doubly so for Abel's Story.

[LigerJet]

So it's like somebody reading into the lines into something that's not really there?

[bill]

Don't tell them that, you'll get hurt. 


It's all in good fun, anyway.

[DigitalMan]

*ponders* Hmm... On a D&D-DMFA note, what powers the magics in DMFA? Do they use mana and such? o.O

[ChaosTiger]

  good question, how do they use magic? o_0

[Arcalane]

Leet hax.

[Roureem Egas]

Really now? My psych teacher said a good way to learn was to wave your hand and say just four syllables.

"Haha, I win!"

[ChaosTiger]

Warning: user is bored and may seem very random.

let the speculation begin! perhaps it is a power that comes from within, and is drawn out by thought when needed?

But dood, that's my magic system D:

*ponders and tries to figure out how Amber's brain works* Hmm... I'll bet it involves telepathic chickens somehow... and no, I'm not joking o_o;
