Prolly needs Dan's permission to leave.
The sad part is that rule is believable since DP doesn't wear shirt or shoes.
But the question is now does that apply to only male or does go for female as well. :mwaha

Possibly, but I don't think Dan really cares, and seeing as how here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_865.php) Abel said hes told Fi to tell him if Dan does anything stupid, And Fi may have gotten Abel then if it wasn't so easily distracted. Course Fi may just have forgotten all together. Who knows.

I wonder, is Kria observing her own "rule"? I mean, she isn't technically wearing a shirt, but we can't see her feet to confirm or deny the presence of shoes...
Edit: And I absolutely love Lorenda's expression in the last panel.

Kria never wears shoes. She's got hooves. (Unless, of course, she's got horseshoes... :animesweat)
Lots of Creatures go barefoot in Furrae. Many Beings do too, come to think of it.

Ah, good point. Just ignore me, then :)
Though she didn't (yet) tell him to remove his shoes. He was wearing some kind of footwear when he arrived (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_939.php).
I somehow think she's making up this policy of hers, although I can understand the no shoes rule. It could simply be to keep the place clean, seeing as how he was walking around outside with them, his feet are probably cleaner than those slipper things he's wearing. She could be telling him to take off his shirt just to see him shirtless. :3

True, unless you count Dan almost getting his ass canned by Dee (Biggs if you prefer) but Fi was drunk then so I guess Fi really couldn't go get Abel, at least not without teleporting to a hundred different places that aren't Lost Lake in the process.
I have a Kria range crude mother. The memory that sticks out involved her remarking, upon my donning a somewhat flattering pair of Jeans, "Jer! You have an #*%!!" nickname has been changed to attenuate the embarrassment of the involved. I've since established my resolution to only wear khakis or slacks.
As to Kria's wish to see Dan dance naked in the moonlight of the winter solstice, let's remember that this is a PG comic & thread. Besides, you've seen one set of male reproductive organs your mind can probably color in the details.
And that, is all I've to say about that.
Wait a tick, if there's a no shirt policy, why isn't everyone topless?! You'd think Kria would at least lead by example.

Like Jer-oh-me just said, PG rated.
Yet very good at alluding to non-pg subjects.
Yeah, I felt the need tighten the calibration of the thread's moral compass. As to Fi's comical TUI (kinda like DUI) I think that'd make an excellent guest comic plot. As to Kria leading by example perhaps, she's already down to her topside danties. Something akin to the "Hi There" filler image a while back, though probably still wearing at least a sarong. Plus she'll probably wish for Dan to witness Lorenda's wings. Of course she said "shirt" not "blouse" or "top", & only wait to point this out once Lorenda unfurls here wings. No that's not what I meant, pervert.
Allusion to said subjects is all I'm comfortable with, besides that's allowed. Moral disapproval to direct mention through indirect mention is a long standing precedent.
Hey now... A no shoes no shirt? What about pants?? :P I wouldn't mind seeing Dan without pants. Who's with me?? :D
Oh, and I don't think that the "no shirt" policy would apply to Kria and Lorenda because, duh, they're in dresses ^^
Not Jer-Oh-Me, apparently.
Then again, neither am I, but for a different reason.

Getting into a fight with Biggstania may possibly not count as stupid on the grounds that Fi probably wouldn't know it was Dee, and it was drunk at the time. If Abel finds out he may in future instruct Fi to get him as soon as
Fi does anything stupid.
However, going off to fight an evil demon who left him clinically dead on their last encounter, at the behest of the local crimelord hardly strikes me as anything
but stupid. I can only conclude that Fi has the attention span of a gnat.
Well, Fi probably has the attention span of a low end computer. Practically obsessive, but easily distracted. I doubt he'd seriously forget commitments, but probably suffers selective memory. And his hopped up, caffeine fiend's personality just cements the impression.

There's also the matter of how many Cubi have the gall to actually read said book. And aside from Fa'lina and possibly Abel, I cant think of many who have the gall to read it.

Difficult to say. Obviously they wouldn't stock the book if Fa'Lina thought it was too evil, but she does have her limits. Torturing children to death and then eating their souls, for instance. She wasn't too impressed with Aniz, either.
'Cubi have a reputation for preying on Beings, noted
here (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_510.php) and
here (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_226.php). Also,
this strip (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_658.php) is also an interesting one.
What I'd take away from it all is this, which may or may not be strictly accurate:
1. Some 'Cubi just see Beings as prey and kill them. Aary is this type. Dee was, but may or may not have changed her tune.
2. Most 'Cubi are simply brought up to be smug and believe Beings are inferior, but don't actively target them unless the Beings 'start it'.
3. Some 'Cubi are sympathetic to Beings, most likely those who were brought up to think they were Beings, e.g. Dan and Abel. Even so, especially after spending centuries among other 'Cubi, they know that they
are 'Cubi and may occasionally do questionable things.
We might, for instance see a post-SAIA Dan 'accidentally' trip someone up because he likes the emotional rush.

"Ed."
She probably knows of the magical properties of that shirt. Makes sense for her to want it gone.
What magical properties? It's not the one made out of the robe that Wildy gave him.
Which reminds me, When Abel is modifying the robe, Dan objects on the gruonds of it being a gift from a friend he doesn't want ruined. Doesn't say anything about "That's a magical item and it needs to stay like it is." Also interesting is that Dan would war something else on an adventure, although an open vest or whatever it is now probably doesn't offer all that much protection. Lastly, how would Kria know the robe, had he been wearing it, was magical?
Heh, that was a really funny strip.
It reminded me of a good Calvin and Hobbes strip that took a different approach to a similar subject: http://www.reemst.com/calvin_and_hobbes/stripsearch/1994/3/2/calvin_and_hobbes.html
Poor Dan... compared to this walking into Matty's abode wearing only a bow-tie looks tame.
First time I herd of a strict "no shoes, no shirt polocy" where you are required to not wear shoes and a shirt. Shoes I can understand...
Funny the polocy does not apply to dresses. Though technically they would not be indecently exposed, just PG-13 exposed as I am guessing that those two are wearing the requested bra.
I wonder if Lorenda or Kira wears classic bras or custom. I would nosebleed laugh if she is wearing a bra that has hand patterns.
Okay, seriously, how many here have not figured out that Kria made that rule on the fly just to see Dan topless? I mean, cmon. I don't know about the shoes thing though. Foot fetish?
And yah, boxen beaned it on the head. Desty is married. No perfect date for you.

It was obvious. Kira finds him hot and since she's in her home she has the grounds to make the rules.
And who's to say that Dee and her hubby don't go on dates. The advantages to marrying and loving a cubi are... limitless.

:lol This strip is the first one in some time that has made me laugh aloud. Go Kria... :giggle
Whilst we're on the figurative dating topic, Fa'lina? I'm starting to see her character as being similar to Dr. Cuddy, though with less restraint. Anyway, it's obvious she wants direct part in future generations, I don't know, the humor aspect of the caption is what's really driving me to ask. As for Dee it could just culminate in a maternal "Sorry sweety, I'm married, but flattered that you asked." type answer. After all Wildy just said "Not at this time."
As to Kria whipping that rule up on the spot, we can only see her head, neck, & forearm in panel 3. She may be happy strutting her stuff just embarrass Lorenda, & give Dan reason to blush beet red. Course, we might end up with a scene change discretion shot. :3

dressed him over his other clothes, so that one doesn't fit. I guess I really have nowhere to go with this attempt.

Actually, webcomics tend to be better about this than traditional newspaper comics, since it's sort of a cliche, and webcomics don't have as much baggage.

Okay seriously, I think if I were Dan I would take off my shirt just to humor her. Doesn't seem worth the trouble to do otherwise.

What does that make Destania then? She's
much older than Kria and still went for a younger man.
And Aaryana? Or even better, Matilda. Not to mention Dan is probably going to live for a long time now as well making it less creepy. She may be thousands (or more) years old but she only looks somewhere about 30, and I don't know about anybody else but I wouldn't mind that. >.> Mentally however she seems somewhere closer to 20.

:P
1. We don't necessarily know that Edward Ti'Fiona is Aniz.
2. We don't really know how old Destiana is. I mean, think about it. From Aaryana's narrative, she became a professor of Pain and Terror soon after her own graduation. She's "only" 428 according to the bio, and if less than a year has passed from whatever point that was taken and the comic which she accepted the professorship, it's possible for a around 400 year old 'Cubi to be offered such a position.
Furthermore, while Aaryana mentions that Destania was her professor of Pain and Terror, it's unclear how long someone takes those courses. For all we know, she only took them the last 2 years of her academy stay, and that Destania was around 400 then.
So while it's extremely likely that Destania is far, far older, it's possible that she's as young as say, 500. (Barring any knowledge to the contrary. AFAIK, Amber's never revealed how old Dee is.)
... 7000, I think Amber mentioned.

In an attempt to stop it from disrupting other threads as it has been known to do whenever someone mentions it in passing, I compiled the theory as it stands, with available evidence for and against into the wiki. It can be found here:
http://dmfa.wikia.com/wiki/Edward-Aniz_Theory
The discussion appears fairly complete, but there were a few possible scenarios that were also mentioned.
Aniz might have been in love with Destania, but unable to meet with her since the families were feuding. (Think Romeo and Juliet.) When he left SAIA because Destania was still there, it may have been to avoid placing Destania (and himself) in an emotionally difficult situation. When Destania showed up at Lost Lake Inn, she may have been faking the injuries and wanted to test Aniz's (Edward's) feelings towards her. (Amber said that Destania might have been faking the injuries. What other reason could she have had for faking the injuries?)
Another possibility was that Alexsis might not have been Edward's biological daughter. We know that she wasn't Destania's biological daughter, but still viewed Destania as her mother.
Finally, there is one point that must always be kept in mind. This is Amber's world, and we are simply viewers. And Amber likes to mess with our heads.

The obvious one is that she was trying to lower his guard for the kill.
Still, I'll add these ideas to the wiki. Assuming you don't get there first...

If she wasn't really injured and was at full strength, I think she could have wiped out a few hundred angry villagers without any problem. Furthermore, they wouldn't have even known she was a cubi.
And if she was at full strength, I think she could have easily seen through Aniz's ruse, and promptly dismembered him. :P
that aside one of the few joys of advance age is the ability to find enjoyable distraction to take up ones time.
