1/27/07: Failure

[Caswin]

Matches... hm...

[Faerie Alex]

She didn't kill anyone then. Yay!

But darn, I was hoping we'd see who's talking to her.

[Boog]

Ah, Kria's formative years. Back when she wasn't okay with the whole eat-or-be-eaten demonic mentality. Years of schooling amongst other demons ground away her concience until she's the being-eating beastie we all know and love today. Insert comment about educational institutions here.

[ChaoSynergy]

So, seeing as there's been one confirmed fatality on the "Bad-Guy" side, I think it's safe to say that Able is the only survivor.

Alas, poor Glory...we hardly knew ye.

But enough mourning.  More speculating!

So apparently, Demons have a schooling program similar to SAIA in the current DMFA arc.  Anyone willing to venture a guess as to who this mysterious voice may belong to?

[Aridas]

mourning glory? This isn't turning into some kind of joke is it?

[ChaoSynergy]

mourning glory? This isn't turning into some kind of joke is it?

I assure you, any sort of punnage is sheerly coincidence.

[Jack McSlay]

it's a 3-fingered hand...

could be dark pegasus... or kria's father (or both, who knows)

edit: or piccolo, which would explain the makankousappo spells back then 

[xHaZxMaTx]

She didn't kill anyone then. Yay!

Well, she didn't kill any of her targets, anyway.  Devin and Xander were probably just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

it's a 3-fingered hand...

could be dark pegasus... or kria's father (or both, who knows)

I believe that's her own hand.

[Alondro]

*Charles hmms*  Well well, who is Kria's mysterious teacher?  It's someone cold and cruel, heartless, merciless, savage, bloodthirsty, evil, wicked, monsterous, devlish...  it could be Fa'lina.  Abel might never come to know the truth, after all.  It could be Dark Pegasus, as he fits all the aforementioned characteristics.  It also somewhat fits the venemous Dr. Ink, yet it's lacking his wry style of speech.  And then, it could also be... erf... it couldn't be...  

[Aridas]

Well in the first panel, there's a shadow of a hand, with probably a regular amount of fingers, since thre's a thumb and finger extended, but the rest aren't visible, so there's no conclusion

[xHaZxMaTx]

Oh, that.  I was thinking that was just part of the pattern on her wing.

[Meech]

The mysterious hand only looks to have three fingers to me as well.

[Akisohida]

It was me! Muahahahaha! I am happy to see Kria was not the killer and that the dude in the tower is quite dead.

[Valynth]

Well, she might have killed Glory's group.  I have no idea why everybody was up in arms over Devin and Xander's deaths, but glory and gang are barely even mentioned, save for mocking and punning.

[thosdsuthainn]

*Reads something about her being a 'student'*

...Wha? Isn't she like... a couple hundred years old? How much schooling does she need at this point?

*checks cast pages*

Kria's only ~19 years older than Abel? Am I the only one clueing in to this right now? *feels somewhat dumb now*

Oh well, yay for Kria not killing Devin + Xander!

[Zedd]

I knew it was a test!! I had a werid feeling in my bones...

[Kenji]

I knew it was a test!! I had a werid feeling in my bones...

No, that was scoliosis.

Kria needs more pouty face. And a sugary sweet background. Then we'll see how long everyone's teeth lasts.

[Valynth]

Anway, I think the shadowy figure might be a brand new character who might end up having to help Abel later on, just to screw with the fan's minds.

And darn you Kenji for beating me to the point!

[Stygian]

STOP IT, YOU FANBOYS!

Now, on to speculation... Whose hand is that? Well, determining from the type of claws and fingers, and the figure of a bracer... It certainly is not Dark Pegasus. It looks more like... Pyroduck...

[Zedd]

Nay good sir...I dought he was ever evil like that...

[Valynth]

STOP IT, YOU FANBOYS!

Now, on to speculation... Whose hand is that? Well, determining from the type of claws and fingers, and the figure of a bracer... It certainly is not Dark Pegasus. It looks more like... Pyroduck...

Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

and isn't Pyroduck from the future?

Is this the APF thread?

[superluser]

Well, determining from the type of claws and fingers, and the figure of a bracer...

Where do you get the bracer?  If I had to guess, I'd call it a sweater with the sleeve rolled up.

Hrm.  ``Choke on a bone.''  I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that that isn't a random statement.  The undead race doesn't seem to be old enough to be there, so we're left with a dog or a vulture, perhaps?

Also, I don't know if this is intentional, but I like how Kria's scenes switch between the left and right sides of her face.  It really heightens the confusion and drama of the confrontation.

It makes Kria look like a captured animal thrashing about in an effort to get free.  Even if that's not intentional, I'm willing to give Amber credit for it so long as she does it again.

...I KNOW IT'S ST. BLAISE!

[Pretzel]

It looks like whatever Kria gave Abel was some sort of patch or something that hid his headwings. I spent a few seconds looking for them...

[Kesh]

Well, she might have killed Glory's group.  I have no idea why everybody was up in arms over Devin and Xander's deaths, but glory and gang are barely even mentioned, save for mocking and punning.

We had time to 'get to know' Devin and Xander. Despite Devin's smartass front, he really was a decent person. Glory + gang had about 10 seconds worth of screen time before all hell broke loose, and all we had was a few "holier than thou" remarks and some comments from Devin implying she was the stereotypical "Lawful Stupid" paladin.

In other words, the former had character development, while the latter were red shirts. So far.

[Zorro]

Been there and done that test.

All "ELITE" militaries have a version of the "Ultimate Test" where you have to kill some one.

In the more PC Militaries like in the USA you just need to stay awake for 3 days and then kill 50 people and then reconstruct a hard drive with a bullet hole through it.

This is day #1 of SEAL training.

Day 2 you have to do it all over again... but underwater. Or maybe while freefalling from several thousand feet.

[Manawolf]

She is a minion of the creature council, as we have seen in current time, this may be the initiation for that.  Surprised she hasn't killed her way to higher up in it yet.

[superluser]

She is not a minion of the Creature Council; the Creature Council is riding her ass.  Not very hard, granted, but they are giving her grief.  If you're referring to 365, it doesn't look like she was ordered to get Jyrras' invention--in fact, it looks like she had it confiscated off of her.

[Manawolf]

Such things can be the same way, she could be a higher up like the Turks in FF7, but still be pulled back on her leash by her superiors if they feel the need.

Heh, I hadn't even noticed, and they've been gone for 3 strips already.
