09/21/2010 [DMFA #1149] - Good ol' Devin

[RandomMetaphysics]

This...
I need to go grab some sour-patch-kids

[joshofspam]

Well, Devon did call up Lorenda for help. But it seems like it was to late to save the Rumballs.

Though it seems that Amber is setting up for that good old three way awkwardness. MMMmmmmm. Awkward. Better then Rumballs and with half the calories.

It was shortly after I read this comic and realized that Devin would be going to Jyrras' house that my brain clicked and I went, "wait, you mean the same Jyrras' house that Abel is at right now?"

...Well, this should definitely get interesting.

Makes me wonder how Abel will react to see an undead Devin who dis not remember him? this should be good.

The phrase I was going to use was 'really not good'...

[Madmann135]

so a Gay possibly Bi is living in a house with a hinted Bi/Lesbian!? 
I Really do not think Amber would set this up only to have it crash and burn with the reuniting of Abel and Devin.  I am guessing that if they do see each other they will not recognize each other, Able will not recognize Devin

[Madd the Sane]

*covers mouth with hand and laughs*
Abel is going to the new, improved undead Devin.
This will go horribly wrong! I wanna watch!

Your history is catching up with you, Abel. How prepared are you?

[Anri]

Oh my, oh my, oh my! This should get exceptionally interesting very fast.

[Bjalf]

I seem to recall Ambaaargh saying that Abel and Devin would never meet, but I can't find any references to it.

And seing Lorenda back in that store, I'm reminded of this strip.

Also, nice phones.

Ah, but with Jyrras out of it and Abel sitting there and brooding, who's going to pick up the phone?

Abel may or may not know about telephones.  They're fairly low-tech so it's likely that he'd hear about them from SAIA students going back the last 75 years, or the minds of people in the shopping centre, or Jyrras etc (has Jyrras made a call while Abel's around?).
Message orbs might chime or something when there's an incoming call and he might make the connection that way.

Point is, if he does pick up, he's going to learn about it [Devin] without the two of them meeting.

EDIT: And that ignores the possibility of him hearing a message being left by Lorenda if he doesn't pick up in time.

Hmmm. Good point(s). Horribly, horribly good points.

Judging by the camera affair, I'd say he doesn't know about telephones, at least not the current crop of not-looking-anything-like telephones. The camera was invented long before the telephone. And with Warp-Acis all over the place, the only telephones would be in a very few classrooms.

Would he know how to pick up a phone when it rings? It's not logical. Simple as it is, you have to learn how to use it, it doesn't come naturally. And Jyrras would of course have a non-standard self-made message machine, possibly with speech-to-text and other weird stuff.

The only thing certain is that his nerves will take another beating.

I had a reply for this, but I've just spotted something that blew it all away.

that and phones and other such technological doohickeys might be all the rage with some cubi back in SAIA.

Will Devlin finally meet Abel or miss him by inches ? Does J like skinny undead boys? Does Bernadette have anything do do with this story?

Find out in the next episode of D.M.S.A, Dan and Mab's Soap Adventures!

(drags up an easy chair, a massive bowl of popcorn, and flops down)

I love this comic.   

[Caswin]

Heheheheh... hehehaha...

Hahahahahaha....

...We have achieved "Joker laugh".  Booyeah.

I seem to recall Ambaaargh saying that Abel and Devin would never meet, but I can't find any references to it.

Sometimes plans change, but I think she said something along the lines of "they haven't met yet, and I have no plans on making them meet". Obviously I could be wrong but I remember when Bioware hinted that ME2 wouldn't be for PS3 and now it is so. You know how entertainers love to say things ambiguously to keep things interesting .

I also like Devin's dialogue, reminds me of a friend of mine. And ha, bi-desperate, I know what that feels like

[Icalasari]

Knowing Jy, he has a cellphone, and I bet Abel has yet to figure those out

Not to mention that Jy likely has it in his pocket anyways ("...Are his pants ringing?")

Jy's cellphone wouldn't ring, it would play YMCA.

And vibrate.

[PetFriendAmy]

Yeah, even if they don't physically meet, I can still foresee Abel at least overhearing about an Undead named Devin sometime in the near future, at which point he would go "Devin?! N-no way, it's just a coincidence right?!" Heck, it's possible he'll hear Devin and Kria in the same sentence, and thus spazz out.

[Baal Hadad]

Why IS that rhino listening in on her conversation...? 

[Bjalf]

She's totally hot, does she have a pulse?   

[Cogidubnus]

Reminds me. Has Abel met Kria yet? I don't think it's come up, come to think of it.

Which is odd. You think that Fi would mention something like that when Abel was holding him over a blender.
...no, that sounds about right, actually.

[ooklah]

I look forward to this clash of peoples. 

[Ryy Lazurus]

*Smacks recliner chair beside Arcblade with a cooler of beers and own packet of popcorn*

heh,

I'm liking Amber's sadism. The way things are going, it may turn out to be a ... memorable gathering at the Soulstealer residence.

[Drakesfyre]

That rhino looks like Bernadette from the store when lorenda and Kria went shopping. The one that was there when Lorenda wing-popped?

...some people at the time wondered if Lorenda was trying to set her up with Jy or something.

[joshofspam]

Then again Devon could just meet Deeb's and her sister.

Though by that same reasoning I do enjoy a good old fation Hallway door chase theme like from Scooby Doo. May the opening and slamming of doors beggin.

[lilpuppy23]

Devin has a very interesting phone...

...Which is about the best thing I can think to say 

[D'ymkarra]

http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_774.php

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw Bern again...I still wonder sometimes what Lorenda's big idea was.

And, on a lighter note, we now know why the rum is always gone...Kria got to it first
