[Tapewolf]

I'm quite confident that Dan is about to pull a weapon on her.

Yes, that would really make the negotiations go smoothly...

[Jairus]

Wow, Dan can get in trouble practically without doing anything at all. He must have a special adventuring skill for that. "Attract Troubles" it's called.

Also known as "Being the Hero".

Alternatively, the Theory of Narrative Causality, but I don't think that their world has any Narrativium.

Things are about to get very, very, interesting.

Actually, when that happens, Amber usually does the P F Hamilton thing and switches to someone else...

*Switch to Wildy doing something completely random, and then...* "Hey, my ears are burning again."

Again? It was Dan, last time...

I know. But I was thinking that Wildy's the kind of person whose ears burn every time someone talks about her, and given her reputation, people probably talk about her a lot.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

I admit, I was somewhat surprised. I thought Amber was going to leave the dramatic tension going for a month or two, and bring it back at a random moment.

Also, I'm wondering how this will affect Regina's relationship with Kria. Dan shirtless locked in a private conference for hours, just leaving half naked. If Regina still has any feelings for Dan, things could get awkward with her boss. *whistles* 

[Pagan]

I know. But I was thinking that Wildy's the kind of person whose ears burn every time someone talks about her, and given her reputation, people probably talk about her a lot.

Then wouldn't she have gotten used to her ears burning and thus not notice anymore?

This is Wildy we're talking about here. She'd probably love to know what people are saying about the adorable little psychoferret behind her back. So they can be punished.

I agree with you there. I thought they were going to avoid each other by some random happenings.

Not that I don't like the new akwardness. 

[joshofspam]

The thing that I'm actually wondering is It really going to be fight time.

Dan being in Kria and Lorenda's house may make him keep a cool head through this. But with Regina's personality, Dan might be stalked through his entire time here in the mansion.

What is more awful? Dan staying locked in with Lorenda's VERY sexually creepy mom? Leaving for the restroom and having and having Regina stalking him in silence or asking if he wants to be part of her harem? 

The fight would also be bad but I wonder if there is a fourth one. You know. The one you never thought of but blows all the other out of the water.

[Psy-Kosh]

Dan is a 'cubi, so he'd know what she was feeling anyway, especially if he hasn't learned how to fully filter emotions yet.

Huh? I don't recall Dan's telepathy/empathy kicking in yet, has it? I thought that was supposed to happen in a couple months (in comic) time.

Dunno about fight, but Abel showing up to check on Dan/pass a message on to him/whatever and seeing that both Kria and a certain Undead is there may make things interesting... There, there's your option #4.

[Naldru]

I can't see Wildy's ears burning.  I can see her having a sudden urge to put a finer point and edge on some sharp weapons.  While smiling ...

The thought of Wildy smiling.  Oh, my.  Must go to my happy thoughts place.  Happy, happy thoughts. Shudder...

[Tapewolf]

I think the closest we've got to her in that state is strip 694, panel 3.

Wildy smiling at Biggs

Wldy smiling at the world

There are more

And to complete the damaging images, Alexsi smiling

Alexsi smiling again

When people around Lost Lake smile, run ... very fast.

[Jairus]

Yeah, but the only time Wildy smiles is when it's likely that someone else will suffer.

[Tapewolf]

Wildy smiling at Biggs

I meant 694 shows her ears burning, not smiling.

[Howl]

Here's how I hope 971 goes.

Panel One: *Dan and Regina look at each other*

Panel Two: *Dan looks away from Regina*

Panel Three: Regina: DANNY! *Regina jumps toward Dan in a glomp. Dan has a "What the hell!?" expression*

[Tyranastrasz]

AHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!   I called it!

Just as a heads up, we don't like that kind around here 

As I recall that tends to lead to a spiteful god Amber who goes out of their way to make sure the offending party turns out wrong most of the time after.

Sowwy... I just get so excited when I finally guess an aspect of a plot right (I try so often and guess right so scarcely...)

[Hellcat]

Lets get the battle music started

Dan has deliberately tried telepathy once, with some success.  But he had to deliberately use it.  He hasn't hit the point of sensing (rather than feeding off of) emotions yet.  Not that he has deliberatly tried that.

Anyway, the emotion they are both feeling right now is surprise.  No time to try out mental powers.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. Thanks.

...is it just me, or is the artwork on her T-Shirt a little -too- strategically placed?

(PROTIP: look at the "hands" for the critter on the shirt).

[AmigaDragon]

I'm guessing that with the amount of experience Destania has, she could easily mimic others' (Biggs') mind-voice. In this case, I'd guess she might have been reading Dan's mind first.

Now, saying "telepathy", I get the impression of not just reading but sending thoughts. Can most cubi send as well or is it mostly just reading others' thoughts (and blocking)?

Yeah, that ploy was suspiciously well timed.  Not that Dan has enough experience to tell the difference between mind voices, yet.

The Cubi Mind abilities section says nothing about sending thoughts, so it looks like Cubi only have TeleReceive (to borrow a GURPS term), and shield.

Abel did mention that he can't transmit thoughts to beings.

[Tapewolf]

I don't think he actually said that.  It read to me more like he was expecting Jy to be able to read his thoughts 'Cubi-style because he was used to being around other thought-readers.  It's probably possible to do it if you know how, but it's something you'd have to deliberately do.

I noticed that too.
