24/08/2010 [DMFA #1140] - Paranoia strikes deep

[Tapewolf]

Okay, that was pretty bizarre.  I'd almost say that Abel was cracking up, except that he never saw the robot, it was just us.

Wonder if it was Jyrras in some kind of patch?

EDIT: Or, maybe the robot is still there and it's simply cloaked.

[Baal Hadad]

Okay, is that a perspective thing?  Why does Jyrras look so much SMALLER than Abel there?  (And why isn't he wearing his glasses, and cut his hair with a knife?  I'm guessing that comes into play in the next update(s)....)

[SpottedKitty]

Could be perspective, could be the effect of Abel being so jumpy and fluffed-up. Remember, ordinary felines make themselves look bigger by fluffing up, but 'Cubi also have other options. If Destania can shrink herself down enough to play a convincing Biggs, maybe Abel's just added a bit to his height and bulk.

[Demont]

Poor Jyrras he's cracking up cause of the stress.  Abel better do something fast.

To me it looks like Abel's tip-toeing; part of being on edge and frightened..and having jsut twirled around again.

Cubi defy both form and gravity.

I wonder if Abel have taken a hairdresser class? He seems to have covered just about every possible gay stereotype. And it would come in very handy now. Lots of quality time with your bestest friend ...

[Madd the Sane]

I think the robot went to get daddy.

I see that the tallyho strip has been making it's rounds.

[psilorder]

no more robot?   

[hapless]

(In no particular order)
* I say the robot is a robot, after all Abel did not detect a mind, even a shielded one, in previous strip.
* <conspiracy_theorist> Jyrras here kinda reminds me of Biggs... and maybe Biggstania... </conspiracy_theorist>

You better Stop!  Abel, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

[Jasonrevall]

I think the robot just went into another room. And dang I don't think I've seen hair that wonky since comic-con.

[Grey Wolf]

Hmm. Is Abel a polytheist? Or is he using a figure of speech?

[joshofspam]

Guess that means no one is getting brownies.

Still now Jyrras is going to need a trip to the barber to get that cleaned up. Still I doubt a hair cut from a knife will cure the problem that he has with fans that want to hug him to death.

It's more likely to draw more attention to him.

Edit: Does this mean Jyrras's Profile picture is going to need a redo because of the change in hair style?

[Tapewolf]

AFAIK, Furrae has more than one god.  That's not even counting the Fae, who are more than capable of setting up a religion if they think it might be amusing.

[Jairus]

Yeah, sorry Jy, cutting your hair isn't gonna solve your problems with being easily identifiable. It'll just start a new fashion trend for messy hair or something like that. Also, a knife? Please. Scissors are way better. I would have thought you were smarter than that.

As for Abel knowing hair-crare tricks... he's a Cubi. They all probably take classes like that in order to stay looking so good.

We all knew Jyrras was a time bomb... a tickin' tickin' tickin' time bomb.

[Infranscia]

Hmm... This might just be me, but I don't think Furrae is advanced enough for cloaking.

Judging by the 'click' noise, I think she probably went back into her room and closed/locked the door (or possibly ran into a different room).  My guess is that my thinking aloud about how he didn't sense any emotions when the bunny-bot was behind him, he inadvertently just told her that she has no real emotions.  Thus telling her that what life she has is no more than an illusion, and/or possibly that she's not as close to living as she thought.  Thus hurting her (simulated) feelings.  Thus the bunny-bot went back to her room to cry (or do her closest equivalent).  Or sulk.  Or pout.

'That stupid kitty... Of course I have emotions!  He's just too dumb to sense them.  Hmmph...'

Also, I know this is a comic late, but I thought that the Griff-Mech was the 'sister' mentioned when Jy chose to stick with the 'reliable' field of technology.  But then again, I guess that mech would be too big for that capsule-thing. ^_^;


Also, Jyrrus looks like he's lacking sleep or something.

[Alondro]

*Charline smiles sweetly, as sweetly as a cold-hearted, cruel, large-pointy-fang-possessing, carnivorous monster can*  Poor little Jyrras, feeling so melancholy.  I can make it all better... I can make all the pain go away... just give yourself to me... give me your body... your soul... and it will all be gone.  Of course, so will you.  But isn't it worth the price?

But was he tubthumping? (Grreat, you had to remind me of this band )

Interesting theory. She seemed to be in full attack-mode (or glomping-mode), and then she just disappeared completely. Apparently she reacted to what he said, but I'm not yet convinced about the "hurt feelings" bit.

Also, Jyrrus looks like he's lacking sleep or something.

He does look a bit frazzled around the edges. Could just be the bad haircut, though. Nothing a little quality time with Abel won't cure!

Edit:
Poor Abel could do with some relaxing. He's going to need a week just to de-fluff that tail. It'll soon be fluffier than Mab's!

[Angel]

Wait a minute here...Jyrras is cutting off his hair...looks tired and stressed...using a robot to guard the house...speaking slowly and seems out of it...

GASP! I have to make an obvious joke!

Okay, okay, that was an awful joke. And as to Abel knowing how to cut and style hair, there's always the chance he won't, since, oh, you know...

[Maark30]

Maybe M.A.C.E. (Bunnybot) was just about to play tag when she saw dad coming.

They say talking to yourself is one of the first signs of insanity.

It's a shame you missed that stop a few miles back.

[That_wolf]

[Abel] seems to have covered just about every possible gay stereotype.

Like what? Also, what counts as a gay stereotype in your books, because in mine, he isn't close to the stereotype.

Also, what if the robot was just passing by, looked at Abel, and then continued walking, going into the closed door on the right? Just suggesting an un-suggested thing.

I can't imagine him not being able to do someones hair.
I mean, with the mastery of interior decoration, clothes and makeup he has shown so far, it just seems natural he would have completed the range of interests.

...You did get the standard warning about bringing sanity in here when you first joined, right?

I think 'I will make you hate everything in the world so there is more love for me.' is one of the best page headers ever.

He's fashion conscious, well dressed, cooks (quiche!), dabbles in interior design, and he's effeminate.

Hasn't this already been beaten to death in this forum?
