2013/05/13 [DMFA #1401] How to make a good diplomatic first impression

[Drakkenmensch]

Rule #1: Don't express surprise at someone else's gender. That never looks well on you.

[LoneHowler]

Dan wasn't the one who expressed surprise. I thought so on first reading too. I don't know if the armored wolf is a clan representive  

[AzureEdge]

I am pretty sure that if the clothes stealing was happening to Dan before he started a relationship with Matilda, he'd be completely fine with it.

Might be less of a faux pas when your race is polymorphic and can change their apparent gender for laughs.

[MT Hazard]

Congrats Blue-green, you've said one of the worse things you can say to a woman. As long as he doesn't follow up with "Are you sure?"

[Eboreg]

Well, it seems that the hands-thing is rare even in Furrae. Probably some inventive shapeshifting.

[e_voyager]

she's probably a mythos of some kind. sadly unlike Dan i notice she was female before i notices that her hands formed her face.

[The Game Freak]

first, i gotta say i love the design for Miss Handy-Face (thats what i'm calling her for now till we get a name from her) and it's inspired me recently to do some creative character building. 2. i hope we see more of her because you can not walk away and forget something like her as Dan has demonstrated to us XD.

i honestly think she is Mythos though what kind that makes a face out of hands who knows, she could be a hybrid herself and is one of a kind from other Mythos in the world. what do you think?

There's a design sketch here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10568002/

So her name is allegedly "Abyss Nor'Mahl" (I say allegedly because it's a bit too much like 'Abbie Normal' in Young Frankenstein), and she's a mythos 'Cubi of Kish'Ta, the Nightmare clan.

Welcome to the board, by the way, and don't forget to read the rules if you haven't already done so...

[Jasae Bushae]

huh, reading that page it seems that everyone was able to pinpoint the inspirations for her XD

totally didn't expect nightmare (as confusing as she is) though i never found the hand guy in pans labyrinth that terrifying either ^^;

[Amber Williams]

Truth be told, the nightmarish part tends to happen more if you try to take the hood off or she moves all the hands away.

thanks tape wolf don't worry, i'll be on my best behavior so long no one talks about EA games directly at me.

but back on topic, i did see that sketch but i wasn't to sure by the name myself but if that is her name then it is but honestly i kinda hope we see more of her in the comics. heck maybe get to know more about her background would be cool too but that's just me being optimistic

[The Game Freak]

ah so she does have a mouth then? and here i thought she had a disembodied voice from her hands making the mouth XD

"Here, let me give you a hand..."

he face won't turn you to stone like a Gorgon will it?

[Ignuus66]

And we will never discover what Dan wanted to do... 

[Anri]

Now you're just making me curious!

as i look at the comic again it seems it wasn't dan question her gender it was the wolf that was talking to her and mink. then again Dan can probably spot a girl from a 100 clicks

Dog.  And to be fair, Dan referred to Abyss as "That thing"...

that's a good point then again he probably has no ideal what species she is

That makes me wonder, why doesn't Lorenda have any Cubi horror films?  Isn't that supposed to be a Kish'Ta specialty?

Well, a horror film could very easily have a Cubi antagonist as in "The Thing". Not sure it would be a good idea to play on fear of Cubi though, what with some pretty prominent racism going around.

we the audience likely dont get the full impact of the 'wait, youre a female?' because we dont hear whatever voice is in ambers head accompanying her. likely its rhaspy and deep, giving people there reason to be surprised that someone who sounds like tone loc smoking a cigar is a chick

that is true but she does show obvious signs to be female IE thin waist, slender arms (though upper arms look a little buff, could be to keep her arms up covering her face longer or something) and most obvious of all... the chest. honestly i just think the wolf cubi is just blind

Or he's just taken one too many hits to the head. Let's face it, even the greatest fighters had to take a few hits to the head to get there.

He used to be a real adventurer, but then he took twenty-two consecutive sucker punch rights to the knee head?

haha! yea, or that XD

[Jasae Bushae]

Yah~ With shapeshifting powers, a Cubi actor could easily play any role and even a few more improbable ones so in theory, half of Lorendas shelf could be populated by Cubi actors.


And as for the male/female discussion, Mythos really are an odd hodge podge grouping term for next to anything so it might be presumptuous to make any gender assumptions regardless of appearance, especially where shapeshifting is involved XD

[Daymond42]

I hope we continue to see more of our hand-face lady. I like her!
