04/28/07 Abel's Story [84] Wow

[AndersW]

So Cid was the Cubi, I now hate him.

[Zorro]

You are Seven seconds faster than the other post.

[Madd the Sane]

I don't think that's the same Cid that May knew.

[Starcat5]

My reaction was somewere between these two smilies.


...that, and I kept swearing and laughing for a good 30 seconds strait.

[superluser]

Yeah, he's a complete and total dick.  I don't get it--at all--unless Cid really does have some sort of Jekyll and Hyde complex.

This makes it a little less likely that Devin and Abel are related, though.

A Coke says he's Kria's instructor--though still in disguise.

P.S. Congratulations on your first thread.  By *six seconds*.  Meanie.
P.P.S. I may come up with an angry list of plot holes later (depending on whether they exist in reality or in my mind)

[devilsislegrl]

hatehatehatehatehatehate!!!!!!
I hope he gets pwned to death by a dragon.
omg, is he gonna kill her now??
JEEEERRRRRRRRRKKKK!


ok, i got it out.  I'm done.

[Gornemant]

Well, either Cid has a weird complex, or Cid's been dead for many years and that guy just took his place out of fun 

Stay tuned and don't miss next week's episode

JEEEERRRRRRRRRKKKK!

I don't think that `Jerk' (or even JEEEERRRRRRRRRKKKK!) is the proper term for a murderer.  That Charles Manson was a jerk.  Boy, Sirhan Sirhan was a bit of a jerk, wasn't he?

P.S. Why did he slap her?  Really.  Just because it's good drama doesn't mean that he has any motivation to do so.  You better have some good reasons for his behavior, or else this is going to look like something out of a bad porn fanfic.

Yes, I went there.  There *are* certain similarities.

OMGOMGOMG

WTF!!?

But I had guessed this almost all along, up until the last few updates when I thought for sure it wasn't possible. But I knew he was the dad because of the tail marking.

Also, look at the hand here:

It's gotta be Cid who attacked Devin.

Wow, not everyday a comic makes me feel emotion.

OMG WHAT IF HE IS REALTED TO DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? LOOK AT THE TAIL

I don't think I want to see next week's episode.

[SuaveIV]

hmmm...

...with the amount of bricks this comic will produce, you could probably build a full-size replica of the Great Wall of China...

...also, it made me unlurk, and that's an accomplishment...

[Hellcat]

OMFG!!!! This is why Abel has a severe dislike of Cubi who use their abilities to assume complete alternate identities. YIKES! 
I can't ditch the feeling Cid was possessed during the years... cubi can go into minds...

Maybe he IS Dan's father!?? They look so alike it's creepy. Maybe Dan's father was an incubus and that is why Destania fell in love with him.

...

Then again, Alexsi isn't a succubus. Still, they look waaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to be coincidence, and Abel had said something to Dan about his father. There's gotta be something we don't know about here.

[proceeds to make a laugh so evil it was impossible to record it for future examination and studies, which probably benefit the world most anyway]

He's dead. Dead, I tell you! And has been for years on years...! Oooh, the sadism... It makes my heart race!

Let me put my two cents here You MotherF***er I want to shove a 50 Cal. up in your arse and pull the trigger or cut your jewels off and shove them down your throat.  Ok I feel better now.

That guy looks like Dan's father as you say Kat I don't think it's a coincidence here there's a deceitful web is being spun by this ASSH**E and I have a feeling this guy is bein doing this since Devin.

I think Abel is the only one who knows the answer to this.

[Drake Manaweilder]

If that lousy  feeds off hatered he's gettin' indagestion.

Frig... I'm seeing another massacre in the next comic. No wonder Abel is so distant... he's worried that if he gets close to anybody they'll end up dead. Poor kid.

[Sunblink]

Hoooooosnap.

I believe that a hula is in order, but alas, we do not have such an emoticon. So instead I'll just do it for you. *hulahulahula*

So now we have a few options: Cid is the Incubus, or currently an Incubus is impersonating Cid in order to get to May, or even follow Abel. In my personal opinion, I believe that judging by his words, it could've been someone mimicking Cid... but another part of me also thinks that it could also be an Incubus who was associated with Kria's tutor who came to take care of the little runaway "target." Question is, if this was Cid all along, how was he able to keep his clan marking concealed? Could it be on the back of his neck, where it was hidden by his long hair, or someplace rather inconvenient if it wasn't under his eyepatch after all?

And as a random question, "Cid's" head-wings bear no resemblance to Abel's at all in terms of one half being feathery and the other draconic. Huh. Though now that I think about it, a long time ago, I recall that the electrified tentacles bombarding Abel and Co. back when Devin was alive are the same shade as the lower half of "Cid's" head-wings. So it is a possibility that he was the very one who assaulted them distantly.

But now I'm just coming up with s%^t.

Ooooh the excitement. The plot twists!

Concerning evil cubidads:

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



Yyeah I'd believe Abel not getting over this even given 300 years.  T_T

Maybe Alexsi's mother was a being?

I think that if Edward were an incubus, Destania would have sought him out *because* she knew Edward to be an incubus.

On the other hand, I see no reason why CEd and Dee wouldn't tell Dan that he was a full-blooded incubus.  Dark Pegasus is concerned that Ti'Fiona is Destania's child.  I would think that he would have associated the name with the adventurer/incubus by now.  After all, most adventurers don't get to be as old as Cohen the Barbarian--and someone that lives at least three times as long is likely to get noticed.  And a reputation.

It may be that we've caught Cid in mid-transformation, as well.  Most `cubi seem to have matching fur and headwings.  Notable exceptions: Dan, Ink and Aary.  All PCs.

[MaskedRetriever]

Of course if Cid has *always* been an Incubus that raises some VERY puzzling queries now don't it.

[RushFox]

 

Wow, what an unexpected turn of events. Well, you guys finally have your answer on who the incubus is. Question is, how long has he been holding up that charade? I suppose the answer will come next month when the "villain" reveals his motives.

Man, I want Abel to kick his ass, but I know he won't be able to do it. Abel's too much of a softy at this point. 

Still, this gave me the RIGHT kind of shock and is an example of excellent storytelling. Nice work, Amber. 

[Aridas]

I think Amber is just taking these plotlines from the speculation. I swear. Sometimes it even dialogue comes out worded almost the same... Someone's got some 'splainin' to do...

What also needs to be explained is why Cid-ish-guy is all evil, instead of trying to, you know, NOT drive abel insane and thus lose him as a potential candidate for cubi-son-dom.

On a separate note, he must either really suck at shapeshifting, or shifted back at the same time as he took off his eyepatch.

[Rafe]

A few points -
Cid (or whoever) has apparently snapped off whatever charm he was wearing to change back to an incubus.  You can see the cord but I didn't notice anything on it.  He's also hit May hard enough to give her a real bloody nose.

Also, the fact that Dan looks a lot like him might give some real insight into why Abel reacts to Dan the way he does.  Even if they aren't connected somehow, Abel might be seeing the Incubus  Cid every time he looks at Dan.

[Fex]

dum dum dum dummmmmm

man this was a half thing I thought off but when it happends I don't belief it

[katzklaw]

whoa.  i was totally not expecting this.  i was still voting for the "May got tricked by a incubus that LOOKED like Cid" theory.  guess that's shot to #%^ now.


keep goin with yer muse, Amber.  this was awsome.  shocking, but awsome.  now i gotta wait all dang week to find out more!  blargh!

[KarlOmega1]

Great...my Subconscience and Unconscience parts of my mind are going "GASP! Plot Twist!" at the same time as me. I was thinking that either May had an affair with an incubus and didn't know it...but Cid as the incubus, this was a shocker to me.

[RobbieThe1st]

Could the eye patch not be the charm? I am sure you could probly add such charm magic to said eye patch, and this way noone would wonder why he is always wearing it.

-Robbie

[LoneHowler]

Hah I said it the eye patch was a patch! to bad he tuned all evil

[Sunblink]

Hah I said it the eye patch was a patch! to bad he tuned all evil

I'm pretty sure that Amber said it wasn't a patch in the title of her newest rant.

Just saying.
