05/16/2010 [DMFA#1119] - Abel just can't get a break

[RandomMetaphysics]

Heh heh. Abel needs to find a hiding spot.

Also, that trick only works on ghosts. Lorenda is not a ghost. And even if she was, Abel's still exposed.

[Howl]

Another girly face on Abel.

Welcome to how I sleep

Also, is it ever a good time to ask Abel for a favor?

Only when he carries a blunt object any the favour is hitting you with it.

That's how I prefer to sleep!  I don't sleep enough, and I go to bed based on when I have to be at work.  Since I work part-time, and fill in as needed, my day-to-day start time for work varies between 7am and 1pm.  I keep my body guessing so that when I sleep I zonk right out.

Or I could just be giving myself narcolepsy.

[Unsilenced]

I've had days like this.

And by days I mean a life =p

[liari]

If you can't see them, they can't see you!  It's true.  No, really.  In any event, though, can anyone really blame him for hiding?  It's been a bad day for Abel.

Nah, that's a totally dif....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nonono, gay face. It's the clothes, you know.   

It's been a bad day for Abel. 

He hasn't had a good day since he hit Dan upside the head with a bat. That was probably the highlight of the century, though.

I dunno. Maybe if you met him at the mall and said, "Argh! Does this shade of blue go better with green or silver? Somebody help me!"
He'd probably tell you. Snarkily.

[Jasonrevall]

And now Abel is going to be roped into all the confusion. This promises to be a dinner to remember

Abel is really the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal?

If anything, I'd think it's one of  the few things that abel *would* enjoy helping you out with.

Other Highlights of Abel's this Century:

Confusing Lorenda.
Having a laugh at Jy-Jy's expense while cooking.

That is a short list.

Just how many favor's could she ask for in this situation?

She needs Abel to get something?
She wants Abel to pose as Dan for the dinner?
She wants Abel to come along to make sure no one kills Dan?
She wants advice on a subject involving this awkward situation?
Wants Abel's cookie recipe which he got from his mom?

I'm sure people could think of many other possible reasons. But it is more amusing how if you think about it Abel should have known he would have been talked to Lorenda too. But then again did he know that Lorenda was a Soulstealer?

[Lucheek]

When its cold outside...there will be no shame....always, I wanna be with you and make beleive with you and live in harmony harmony, oh love!

No, Lorenda is.  That's why Abel is hiding under the sheet.  She'll go away if he can't see her.

It also works on monsters that want to eat you, and demons count as monsters

Mind you, cubi would also technically count as that, so does that mean Abel is invisible to himself or?

There's also the "ball pit". But yes, short list indeed.

Just how many favor's could she ask for in this situation?

I see 3 possibilities:
1. She needs help with telling Dan about her boyfriend lie. I don't think so. Not a difficult task, and little comedic potential.
2. She intends to continue the lie without telling Dan. Quite difficult, a helping hand (or other limb) from a cubi would be very useful. My guess. Much comedic potential.
3. She is trying to set up a date with Jyrras. Some comedic potential, but I think she's too preoccupied with the upcoming dinner.

And no, I don't think Abel knows that Lorenda is a Soulstealer. They haven't been properly introduced, Lorenda doesn't look much like her mother, and she doesn't even have demon wings. Well, not visible ones, anyway.

[OminousShadow]

Abel is the most tortured soul in the comic. He needs some kinda break or he will snap.

Nah. He got a 350 year break at the academy. This is just the retribution the universe distributes to those who have avoided its law of chaos for so long.

Wait... didn't he have to tell Fa'lina about something?

[Madd the Sane]

Oh yeah...
His crazy dream. Poor confused Abel. Poor scared Abel.

I like the second possibility!  Especially if it involves her asking Abel to BE Dan for a night.  Much hilarity should ensue, if he even agrees to it in the first place...which I doubt.  But wouldn't it be FUN?!

...oddly appropriate, actually, considering Lorenda's diet...

Give it a little time, it'll come out sometime soon (comic-time). I think he's only been there a week or two at most.

I wonder what he would do when he finds out that not only is she a Soulstealer... but the daughter of the very Soulstealer that taught him his first matchstick spell?

Theres also when Abel served cake to Alexis.

Yes cute as a button on a snake. Yes indeed! (incert Vincent Price laugh)

Though I'm not sure there's any more than that.

Abel nooo! Her vision is based on movement!

Yeah, it's totally unfair to all of us! 

And where the heck is that "vision based on movement" reference from ?
I feel like I should know this one.

Probably not Dangermouse, though it did something similar.  I think that one was "Robots can only detect movement."
