09/10/07 [#817] Nasty weather

[AndersW]

who is speaking in the last panel?  the speech bubble is pointing at Lorenda, but Jyrras has his mouth open.

[Zedd]

Its Jy...Relax..Sides I know its kinda random

[nikename2]

Or Jy now has the ability to shoot his voice from the curse he recieved. 

[techmaster-glitch]

Longest short wait indeed.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Methinks Jy's just "ARGH!"-ing.

[Netrogo]

Why is it every single panel can start one of those questions. Amber is damn good at facial expressions, and in comics it's common knowledge that a characters mouth doesn't have to be drawn open to show them talking.

Amber has the speach bubble pointing at Lorenda and Jyrass is clearly making a 'GAH!!!' face. So Lorenda is the one asking the question.

[pseudocompulsion]

Excuse me if this has been noted before, but the Fae kingdom seriously reminds me of Wackyland, only less Dalíesque. I'm keeping my eyes open for a dodo or two.

And I am forever in awe of Amber's characters' expressions.

[Kenji]

What the heck is that thing in the last panel? o_O It looks like a fae, but the back of a fae.. yet that would mean the wings are on the front... o_O

[Rithm Alfortele]

Nah, the wings to seem to be coming from the side that the reader is seeing.

[superluser]

Is this the harrowing experience that drives the two characters who initially hate each other so that they fall wildly and passionately in love?

I see Jyrras hasn't gotten his glasses back yet.

So...white mist rather than black mist or killer fog?

[Manawolf]

It's snow.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Who's to say it's not sleet?  Or hail?

[Kenji]

Nah, the wings to seem to be coming from the side that the reader is seeing.

Not really, since the wings seem to be going behind what I guess is the "neck".

It looks like the wing on our left is coming out of a shoulder blade. The Fae's hair seems to be covering the base of the right one.

But, hey, that's just what I see. "Reality is the original Rorschach." I guess that applies to webcomics, too.

Ok, I see what you're seeing now. Eh.. still looks odd to me.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Oh!  I see it now.  See, I thought the back was actually the neck.  That can be attributed to the outline of the wings.  Though the enormous hat doesn't help, either.

[techmaster-glitch]

It does look wierd at first, but it's really her back...she just has long hair.

[Kenji]

Nothing wrong with an enormous festive hat.

[Madmann135]

I actually saw it change from a sunny day to rain, then sleet then snow in the course of 10 minutes, I was in a car when it happened waiting for someone. 

Which begs the question... Is the fae realm in Chicago?

Happens all the time in Colorado.

The city with 300 sunny days a year also has 300 cloudy days a year.

It's somewhere in the Midwest, at least.  Here in Michigan I've seen it rain on a sunny day. Seriously. Not makin' it up.

EDIT: As an aside, according to a Linguistics professor of mine who has taken a casual personal interest in the subject (at least enough to note it wherever and whenever she hears it), everyone makes that "*insert town/state/country* — if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes" joke about their place of origin. And I'd thought it was just a Michigan thing...

[Pagan]

That's some crazy weather. In a crazy world. With crazy people. So... to answer your question Lorenda, "Yeah, pretty much."

[Naldru]

That's not uncommon when a front moves over.  The warm air is in front of the front, and the cold air is behind the front.  The sleet forms because the particles move back and forth between the cold air and the warm air.  Just be glad you were in a car.  I was once caught in some fairly heavy hail, but fortunately I knew where there was a nearby building with a protective overhang.  I've heard of the hail being heavy enough to damage cars.

Amber has the speach bubble pointing at Lorenda and Jyrass is clearly making a 'GAH!!!' face. So Lorenda is the one asking the question.

Ladies and gentlemen, please - I can't believe I'm saying this - you're thinking too logically here.

This is the Fae realm.

This is madness.

This is reminiscent of a scene from near the beginning of Brave New World where the narrative inexplicably switches speakers in the middle of a dialog just to emphasize the world's insanity.

And this is most definitely not Sparta.  Unless maybe Jyrras thinks it is.

[xHaZxMaTx]

This is madness.

...

And this is most definitely not Sparta.

You're no fun.

[Alondro]

*Charles hmms and nerdiates*  Say, that's kinda like the Genesis planet from Star Trek III, tropical right next to snowing.  And they used protomatter in the Genesis matrix... protomatter, an unstable substance no sane scientist would have used... a substance with very unpredictable and explosive results (in one version of Star Trek VI, the explosion on Praxis was due to the Klingons trying to replicate the Genesis device!).

*sudden enlightenment!*  Protomatter IS MAGIC!!!   

[Naldru]

When I was being logical, I was discussing weather on Earth.  It is quite obvious that any explanation of weather on earth can't possibly apply to the Fae realm.  All meterological models are based on consistent and uniform gravity.  Uniformity of gravity doesn't appear to mean anything in the Fae realm.

The only logical conclusion about the Fae realm is that nothing is logical.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

heh. random snow... awesome.

Oh!  I see it now.  See, I thought the back was actually the neck.  That can be attributed to the outline of the wings.  Though the enormous hat doesn't help, either.

Well you're just biased.
That's why you need me to help enforce it. ;P
RJ can't help you either...

*sudden enlightenment!*  Protomatter IS MAGIC!!!   

You're just now figuring this out?

But.. but... 

[Regal]

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

And Jy, the answer is yes.
