02/27/10 [DMFA #1092] Pip the psychiatrist

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

I'm starting to wonder if Abel always gets stuck meeting the sarcastic individuals...........first Devin and now Pip..... 

And how did Pip know his last name?! 
I'm looking forward to seeing Abel's reaction next! 

[Tapewolf]

...I think I'm bitter he didn't get a nice night.

At least Dan seems to have, that makes a change.

[Roach Lord]

Pip = Devin's Soul.

[Sunblink]

...I think I'm bitter he didn't get a nice night.

I don't think Abel's had a nice night since he arrived, actually. Poor guy can't catch a break.

[Baal Hadad]

This is the first time, isn't it, that Abel's last name has been mentioned in the main DMFA comic?

And Pip's the one who says it--hmmmm....

[Anker Steadfast]

I'd have to side with the non-linear people here ... we really don't know how old Pip is in relative time, nor do we know *when* he has been.
After all, he travels with a Fae, for all we know he lives half his time 200 years into the future.

*shrug*

Amber has left enough strings to pull for herself, to make speculation completely inaccurate.

On a side note : Get well Amber.  

[Sind]

Also: Glee!

I just LOVE Pip's smile 

[Les]

The New/Old Friends from a different time thing..  I'm thinking that the Mab we saw there never met Fa'Lina before,  but sometime in Fa'Lina's 9,000 years she met a Mab and they got along famously and had many adventures Muffins!  But that whole non-liner time thing with Fae just muddies the issue some.

I'm wondering if Falina Is/Was/Will-Be inspired to found SAIA by Mab? 


On another note, I wonder if Pip's Dan-Munching isn't motivated by malice, but is his way of helping keep Dan 'fed' while he was experimenting with the wonders of the Ale-diet?   

[Rafe]

I'm still hearing Pip in Patrick Stewart's voice, although I get Christopher Plummer too occassionally.

[Zaejue]

I highly doubt Pip is Devin reincarnated
if he was then he wouldn't remember anything from his previous life unless reincarnation works differently in the DMFA-verse
I'm gonna go with the most logical theory that was suggested and say pip read the resume

[Madd the Sane]

Also, here's hoping the plague leaves Amber alone soon.  Sad Ambers make sad Arcblades.  

No no, you got it wrong. It's: "Sick Amber makes sad forumites."

Huh, I totally glazed over Abel's last name.

[Titanium Dragon]

Agreed...We don't yet have enough backstory on Mab/ Fa'Lina or Mab/ Pip to know how they all relate to one another; we only know they've been friends for a long time, possibly since or even before the Cubi/ Dragon war itself. The one thing we have learned here, is that he picked up common speak from hanging with Mab all those years.

Ah, but he didn't say that, now did he? He simply said that most drakes don't hang out around fae.

Y'know, just another theory to throw into the mix. XD My other theory is that, since we don't know exactly how old Pip is, it's entirely possible that he was around when the whole Aniz thing at Zinvth happened... and maybe he heard of Abel from then? *shrug*

According to his cast page, he is 16 and a drake. I don't think the cast page has contained lies heretofar, so I don't really expect it to, especially given that one of the lines is that drakes know three languages, two of which only drakes know, a set up for this.

My first impression on seeing the comic: Pip looks like a smug jerkass.

Well, isn't that the general way of things for him up to this point anyway?

As for Pip knowing Abel's last name... it seems very likely to me that is simply because he and Mab know far, far more than it would seem they would, or even should.

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if dropping Abel's last name was not accidental.

[Ghostwish]

..

Pip is most definitely voiced by Sean Connery.

[Demont]

Well I don't think that's the real Pip Able is talking to.

[A. Lurker]

Well I don't think that's the real Pip Able is talking to.

You do realize what you just did, do you?

(To be specific: You got me thinking "well, if it's not the real Pip, it might just be Destania...again". How much is mass a constraint on cubi shapeshifting, anyway? She did manage to impersonate the rather shorter Biggs convincingly enough when talking to Dan on his last visit to the Twink Territories, after all...)

[Nino]

Well I don't think that's the real Pip Able is talking to.

it's ANIZ! ...just kidding.

[terrycloth]

It could be Aniz as easily as Destania.

Maybe it's whatsername the watermage from upstairs? Or Jyrass with a patch? Or Nutmeg or Albanion or --

It could be ANYONE! O.O

[jeffh4]

I highly doubt Pip is Devin reincarnated

Has Amber ever told us how or if souls work in Furrae? Other than with the Fae, that is. 

Is reincarnation possible, impossible or unknown? Do souls get recycled back in the Bhuddist manner to learn the lessons required to move forward?   Do being and creature souls come back in the opposite form? Do chocolate chip cookies come back to haunt you in the afterlife?

So many questions.

[MT Hazard]

Pip is a mutant, sixteen years of exposure to Fey magic has altered him into something different....  that or Mab just messed with his genetics, makes you wonder how well he gets on with his own kind (that one comic excluded)

[Anker Steadfast]

Do chocolate chip cookies come back to haunt you in the afterlife?

So many questions.

Well, if they do, you get to eat them .. again.

[Kenji]

... Exactly how sick does dirt get, anyways?

[Anker Steadfast]

Well .. I think it's more a question of how sick YOU get when you get too much dirt on you!

[Rakyth]

Huh, so Pip does speak Common. There goes my theory

And more evidence for mine!

According to his cast page he is 16 years old.

Of course, Fae 'non-linearity' may make that statement a bit ambiguous (even if Pip isn't a Fae himself, he does seem to spend most of his time accompanying Mab). Are those sixteen years the time he's actually lived through, subjectively, or just the time that has passed between his hatching day and the 'now' of the story, just for starters...?

I had a theory that Pip was a fae, taking on the role of a drake.

By theory, I mean 'guess that makes sense'

[D'ymkarra]

I highly doubt Pip is Devin reincarnated

I concur....Devin is currently in the employ of the Soulstealer household; in fact, Kria has extended her last name to him, and pretty much regards him as her son...his original soul/ personality was apparently lost to the ether..

It might be possible to retrieve or re-introduce someone's soul into another body, but to Abel, the voice alone would have been a dead giveaway.

[LigerJet]

It could be Aniz as easily as Destania.

Maybe it's whatsername the watermage from upstairs? Or Jyrass with a patch? Or Nutmeg or Albanion or --

It could be ANYONE! O.O

Wait...what watermage from upstairs?

[Madd the Sane]

It could be Mab herself.

[AmigaDragon]

Well .. I think it's more a question of how sick YOU get when you get too much dirt on you!

Depends on whether your name is Monk.

[Lego3400]

According to his cast page, he is 16 and a drake. I don't think the cast page has contained lies heretofar, so I don't really expect it to, especially given that one of the lines is that drakes know three languages, two of which only drakes know, a set up for this.

1. Dan was listed as a being for a long time.
2. Rose STILL isn't mentioned on Mab's page. 
3. Mab can understand Pip's "Kii"s. If Mab knows it it';s not a language known only to drakes. Also it doesn't say PIP knows 3... IT just says drakes...
Spoiling plot twists via your cast pages doesn't make them very good twists.

1. Amber probably didn't get around to it
2. Err...I plead the fifth.
3. Fae also visit other universes, but I don't believe that's clearly defined either.

[Naldru]
