04/06/08 [#72] - Holy Shiznit! Stiletto's a LAWYER!

[techmaster-glitch]

So, that's where his avatar comes from. Very interesting.

[Pagan]

This also explains why he always calls himself the Last Resort legal taskforce...

[stiletto]

I call myself a lot of things, but as far as character representations go (fursonas and what not), that guy there isn't actually me. That's a character from a story of mine, Graz. He recently appeared in DMFA too. Lawyers, they're useful everywhere.

Though he does from time to time borrow my user name to make legal announcements regarding Last Resort.

And since Jig has such a tremendous buffer, I was able to get a little avatar image long before the page ever came out. Wee hee!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

heh. Nicely played, Stiletto. Nicely played.


Now... do we get to kill all the lawyers?

[Reese Tora]

I'm not a pirate, I'm a lawyer!
Kill the lawyer!
Not that kind of lawyer!

I have to wonder how the lawyers plan to bend the rules of thier own game to fix this "problem", though...

[Tapewolf]

This also explains why he always calls himself the Last Resort legal taskforce...

From the amount of hints he's dropped, why is anyone surprised? 

Now I guess the next question is how they plan to fix the problem...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Now I guess the next question is how they plan to fix the problem...

... I suggested the fix, didn't I? ;-]

[Brunhidden]

beware lawyers that are discretely heavily armed, for the 'discretely' does very little to console you.

[Tapewolf]

... I suggested the fix, didn't I? ;-]

You may have to explain that more slowly.  I'm not quite sure how Graz committing suicide would help to get Arikos chosen...

[stiletto]

To bring things around slightly, no one has pointed out Nehine, the friggin peacock Celeste lawyer woman who, had Graz not been so graciously added, I imagine would be talking to Cypress all by her lonesome.

Who is she? What could she be there for! Suspense!

Also another new name Veled, even I don't know who the hell that is! But I can guess... and you people are supposed to be too! Who could cause Cypress enough distress to make her cry?

And how are they going to fix these problems of the universe?!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

... I suggested the fix, didn't I? ;-]

You may have to explain that more slowly.  I'm not quite sure how Graz committing suicide would help to get Arikos chosen...

... Oh. Were we supposed to be trying to fix that? I thought we were just supposed to be helping the world by removing lawyers. ;-]

[stiletto]

You cannot kill that which is hardly alive in the first place. Lawyers are really just Djinn that lost too much of their soul and spent too much time reading. Lawyers are an ecological standard, like weather. And just as annoying.

At this point I should remind folk that lawyers aren't Djinn by canon or anything... they just act like they are. :-p

[AndersW]

It looks like the redhead has the strange font behind her words in the third panel.

I'm not a pirate, I'm a lawyer!
Kill the lawyer!

I love that movie.

[Stupid N00bie]

I noticed that Nehine(Thanks stiletto!) was using the same trick that Arikos tried to pull with White Noise. Kinda feels like someone is trying to play some kinda mind voodoo.   

Also, Heterochromia!  I hate that cliché!  Every other persona and/or fursona have it! 

[stiletto]

He doesn't have heterochromia, his eyes are like that because of a very different reason, but that won't be explored in the world of LR.

[Brunhidden]

my brother in law has a chunk of his one eye a different color then the rest- got his eye impaled in a work related accident with a steel spike. idiot surgeons tried stitching a chunk of someone else's eye to fill the gap in FEBRUARY and couldn't figure out why the stitches kept poping.

damned cool in a conversation when someone asks 'whats up with your eye' and you can reply 'oh, its not mine'

[Fuyudenki]

I was under the impression that heterochromia referred to any case in which the eyes were a nonuniform color.  Or do Graz's eyes change colors?

It's not the name of a cause, it's the name of a symptom.  Fever is any time when the body is producing abnormally much heat, for example.  Whether the cause is a cold or a fusion heater installed in the gut is irrelevant.

[Tapewolf]

Literally it means something like 'different colours' so I'd be inclined to agree.

[stiletto]

You people and your semantics! Graz's eyes don't actually look like that, just like your brother in law, those aren't really his eyes. And they can change color. As Amber showed when he appeared in DMFA, he doesn't even have pupils most of the time.

...and I laughed really hard at:

"It's not the name of a cause, it's the name of a symptom.  Fever is any time when the body is producing abnormally much heat, for example.  Whether the cause is a cold or a fusion heater installed in the gut is irrelevant."

[Stupid N00bie]

Graz's eyes don't actually look like that, just like your brother in law, those aren't really his eyes.

Really?  'Cause they look like eyes, and they are located in the general area that eyes are supposed to be.
Are his eyes located on his fingers? Does he sniff them in the last panel?  Should I stop being such a ass?(nah)

[Brunhidden]

heh, maybe one day use the line 'whats with your eyes?' 'oh, they're not mine'

only reason i had said it is i thought thats the reason, but its not many people you see with only half an eye replaced, and i am so glad it wasnt me cause it would be hell to find someone with the same iris as i do

[stiletto]

I wasn't even aware you could mix eye pieces together like that so easily. And I think I may use that line, it seems like something he might say...

And don't be mocking Graz. He hits in the face 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Pfft.

I have a few spare faces.

[Stupid N00bie]

hmmm... Now this is interesting to me.

Jigsaw draws Graz with a horn, while Amber does not. Does it go poof sometimes, or is that artists discretion?
EDIT: Ooh! and a soul patch! Amber gave him a soul patch whilst Jig just set the color into the fur!  Its like those old 'Can you find the difference in the two pictures' game!

What be cannon?

[stiletto]

For fitting into the continuity of the world. In LR, Graz is a... nngh, I don't remember the name (or feel like looking it up  ), it's the same species that Xanatos is, and they come with a horn. Canon Graz does not have a horn, as his usual incarnation is based around the form of a jackal. He sometimes changes his form to fit in more with the surrounding populations, so I imagine this is what he's doing here.

... Or the author insists on warping folks to fit canon species rather than inventing brand new ones for the environment? 

[stiletto]

Considering I've been around you when you're in make up species mode.... I find your explanation less believable. 

[Brunhidden]

less talk, more cannons
