[Caswin]

I guess that makes it official yes?

[JackTheCubiWolf]

Wow. I did not see that coming. I'm going to go through the archive and see if any of the shadows at the meeting look like him. (I have no clue on how to spell his name)

Look at reply 40

[Lego3400]

The shadow matches up with the Fae we saw. I think he's also quoting himself here..

[Garsemor]

Her's a fun fact. If the council is devides on almost everithing, as it seems, why does it still exist?

[insidexml]

Her's a fun fact. If the council is devides on almost everithing, as it seems, why does it still exist?

Because the council was divided over whether or not they should disband the council.

[Fex]

they are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

[techmaster-glitch]

Yup, that confirms it. The fae shadow in this comic was Albanion.

[OminousShadow]

How can you say that when it's obvious they don't even like bulbs.

[Jairus]

Well, that should end the debate once and for all. Albanion is on the council, and is arguably one of Jy's "allies." From the standpoint of how far one can consider a Fae to be an ally, and as far as Jy fits into Mab's plan and Albanion's place in it.

Really, if the Council was going to be smart about this, they would want to get Jyrras on their side. I mean, I know I'm quoting something I've written down/borrowed here, and it doesn't fit perfectly, but "better the monster you have leashed than the one you don't:" Jyrras is more dangerous as their enemy, and if he was an ally then they really would have nothing to fear from him. Well, at least not too much. Also, you'd think that any smart group would know to keep things lit nice and brightly to prevent them breaking their toes or smashing their knees into things while stumbling about in the dark.

Currently, the council's indecisiveness seems to be on Jy's side: so long as they can't agree on any course to take regarding him, he's more or less safe from the council. Outside of one of them acting on their own, of course. And if Jyrras demonstrated himself to be dangerous/useful, that could be the thing that gets them to decide on a course of action... I take it back. Jy's in BIG trouble right now, and is basically balanced on a fence that he barely knows exists. This is getting really good...

[OminousShadow]

Albanion isn't one I'd want as a ally. He is the sole reason there is a Restraining Order on the Entire Fae Race by Girl Scouts.

[Jairus]

Albanion isn't one I'd want as a ally. He is the sole reason there is a Restraining Order on the Entire Fae Race by Girl Scouts.

Personally, I'd rather be on his side than the opposite side. I mean, that would be almost impossible (given his hair trigger berserk button, though in at least one case this was probably just him waiting for the ideal moment to curse Jy in such a way that everyone would write it off as just Albanion doing his thing again), and the fact that he is a Fae right off the bat makes him dangerous, but at the end of the day, I'd feel safer knowing that I was in his graces rather than outside of them.

[tiggertoo]

Remember also for many creatures being strong, dangerous, and/or deadly are all considered positive, admirable qualities that would make Jyrras worthy in their eyes. If he's weak, he's not really worthy of notice. Either way, creatures with this outlook wouldn't really understand what all the fuss was about.

[Zedd]

Ahh Al I see your you should invest those power saving lightbulbs,your house bill will thank you

[Jairus]

Ahh Al I see your you should invest those power saving lightbulbs,your house bill will thank you

If they ever drag Jy there, the first thing he'll do is fit their evil inner sanctum with compact fluorescent bulbs or LED lighting, and then show them projections of how much energy and money they'll save over time. Then, he'll rebuild the heating and cooling systems so that the lair is always comfortable, and get the VCR up and running. Eventually, he'll get them hooked on video games and the convenience of the microwave, and at that point he refuses to program anything unless they submit to his control. And that's how Jyrras Gianni will take over the Creature Council and become the most powerful being in the world.

"Hey, mom! Guess what I did today!"

[ooklah]

He turns off a light bulb that he conquers up and it's dark for her as well. Does Mab have to allow him to affect her view of the world?  If that's the case, would that be considered rude, like stepping on peoples toes, causing your magic to affect someone else?
Or whatever magic is done just effects everyone, and they accept that? They are fae, I'm sure they could nullify each other...

[Jack McSlay]

Yes he should be worried. After all, Jyrras' technology could potentially pierce the heavens

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

You'd think with all their other powers, Fae would be able to see in the dark easily........

[Scarydragon]

Who says they can't see in the dark? Just because you can realize that it's dark doesn't mean you can't see.

[SpottedKitty]

You'd think with all their other powers, Fae would be able to see in the dark easily........

Don't forget the Roger Rabbit Defence. When Mab did it, it was funny.   

(Come to think of it, wouldn't this apply to a lot of things the Fae do?)

[Denji]

Anyone watch M*A*S*H? If so, then, do you remember the episode where Hawkeye was going nutso because it had been over a year and the only thing they had done was argue about the shape of the table that North Korea, South Korea, and the USA would sit at to make peace negotiations? And that they couldn't even do anything else on the list because they were arguing on what should be on the top of the list?

The whole lighting-thing kinda reminds me of that. |D

[Ted Schiller]

Oh buffer. You mythical beast of legend. One day I hope to unlock your riddle and learn the secret myself.

The secret:

Either, have no life, which would keep interfering

Or, have a wife, who would get all the important stuff done.   

With regards,
Ted

[rhyfe2002]

I think this would be a much more appropriate time for Mab's antennae to "flame on" again.

[Keleth]

I'm still suprised some people only noticed the fact that he was on the council with today's strip.


I lawled hard.

But... but... she is the wife.

Needs new plan!

[LionHeart]

...Whoever said the Creature Council was a smart group?

[inuhanyo]

Albanion being on the Councils has been a confirmed fact since page 837.

And only one of the shadowy shapes on the Creature Council looked like a Fae.

[Lucheek]

Albanion being on the Creature Council was already confirmed before he showed up in the comic. Does anybody read the Demonology pages?

[OminousShadow]

They need to get some kind of creature that glows in the dark on the Creature Counsel. Lighting Problem Solved.

[techmaster-glitch]

They did. She didn't like that
