Holy crud...history-making for me. I've finally gotten the first post about the new strip. :rolleyes
So...I never thought I'd see the day Wildy was out-worded... :erk
That gets a 9/10 on the Oh SnapOMeter. Ow.
Hmm...
"The pen is mightier than the sword"
or
"Might makes right"
...
So..... I honestly can't say who wins there. >.>
Ooo, burn.
I'd have thought Abel wouldn't have read through Wildy's memories so quickly. Unless he was reading her thoughts which may have been mulling over the book thing.
Wildy's actually upset. Is this the first time? :O
My, how very condecending.
I smell....PAIN!!!
I smell a cubi singing soprano! :kirby Makes me glad I am only half mammal; the upper half. >.> I dunno if I should say 'Poor Wildy' or 'Poor Abel'
Unlike Wildy, Abel had it coming. Badly.
Pfft, I think both of em kinda deserved it.
Indeed.
What? You want me to say more? That's all you get!
Well, both of 'em deserved it, but Abel so much more than Wildy.
Sides its the smallest people you should beware and not the tallest :paranoid
i'm still not sure how Abel could have taken Dan's warning so lightly. admittedly he did throe her off balance but was it worth it? a reflex pain more over a tried and testes normal attack move. i don't think that either won that round but i hesitate to call it a draw.
The ones with their jaws in height with your crotch, you mean, Zedd?
And neither of them actually won anything on it, no. Which is only appropriate.
Ouch. Harsh. And I'm not talking about the punching here.
Abel-respect just dropped a whole degree, actually. I can (kinda) guess that this is what an outsider must think about the situation, but it's also the reason why outsiders should just STFU about such issues until they get some perspective. Very rude, very over-the-top, and exactly the worst thing to say right after the end of the last arc.
Besides, isn't Abel supposed to be a mind-reader? He hasn't exactly been holding back with his powers (to the degree of trying to use powers on beings who are ironically enough immune against them), so this should have been a no-brainer. Heck, he could have read ANYBODY'S mind to figure out what's going on here. Unless he's just pulling a "Not only Superman can be a dick" stunt in a misguided attempt to somehow avenge Jyrras.
And THIS is why I wanted the Abel-Wildy meeting in the last arc. Wildy's third-panel "My world is collapsing - could this be what my friends think?" expression really makes me regret that this got relocated into a comic-violence arc. But maybe we'll still get to see such musings later on, though... assuming that this arc is going to stick with Wildy's party once they leave. Or we'll actually get to see it right away - who knows?
personally i thing that once she calms down she is going to have a nice calm talk with Abel while he shiver form Dan's memories and the mental imagery of what wildly want to do to him for upsetting her like that.

Eh? No no, remember he was present for the beginnings of the Jyrras-discovers-the-book escapade. Thus, he knows someone named Wildy wrote and published a moderately explicit romance novel, directly using the character of a friend, without informing that friend beforehand. From his point of view that was a pretty back-stabbish thing for a "friend" to do. But still, he's running on limited information and he should have stayed quiet. I guess he figured that going on the offensive right away would be the best way to win this argument.

Anyway, what the Abel situation needs is a liberal sprinkling of Pip maulings. Pip makes EVERYTHING better. It's been a while since we've seen the little bugger in action.
*edit* The errors of relying on spellcheck alone are abundant
I don't think Abel even needed to read her mind there - remember, he was in the bookstore with Jyrras, and he probably picked it up from him rather than her. Its also worth noting that he is more cold than nasty, and it isn't really his problem - he is there to teach Dan, not to do whatever Dan and his friends want him to do. He was nice enough to disguise Dan. It was a pretty low blow to Wildy, but he was being threatened and Wildy really did have it coming.

It wasn't intentional, but I suppose you're right, to a degree. What you're thinking of is, "You guessed wrong, bitch!"
Its not a good thing when you have a ferret is close to your coin purse and able to punch it like a bag
*Collapses into little ball of laughter*
Heh, now on the one hand I don't approve of Abel being stubborn about this but on the other Wildy SO had that coming. Him being stubborn and difficult and her writing the novel about Jyrras just cancelled each other out!

i think that this is far form over. and we know what happened with Jyrras and Lorenda but what about Dan? what did he think of her novel?
*winces* That has never happened to me, and I hope it never happens to me. And as been said more eloquently before me, I can see where Abel is coming from. But Abel also doesn't know everyone that well, so he's judging the book by the cover, so to speak. Secondhand information can be quite deadly and is easily misused.
*POW!!!*
owie........
Well, he asked for it :D And he knows about it because he was there when Jyrass found out it was Wildy, and when Dan explained to him who Wildy was ;)

*Charline smirks* Now you see why I'm a succubus rather than an incubus. :p But, a delightful example of how even the apparently strongest wills have their weaknesses. Wildy was broken by a few short sentances. And Abel was broken by one swift kick! *grins* Two more of my potential adversaries at war with each other... yes, everything is proceeding exactly according to my designs. >:3
Wh00t for "My Fair Lady" references. That was the first show I ever did tech for...
Yeah. Nostalgia aside, holy jeebas, this is going to be an interesting arc. I wonder what Abel's going to say once he's done writhing on the floor, clutching the few things that make him manly. >:3

Seconded!
as some one who's had that happen to him over some thing far more trivial.
I really don't think Abel deserved this, Wildy is far to used to getting her way with threats or acts of violence. This is not Abels fight, it's not his problem. He's not required to bend to her or Dans whims. So he had no reason to sit there and take her threats. So he fired back with what he knew, he knew the book really hurt sugar fluff, who was supposed to be one of her best friends. Yes he didn't have the whole story but it's something wildy needed to realise that her actions can have have negative repercussions.

Good point
Still, if you're going to take the preemptive, you better be ready if you aren't planning for a felling blow. Wildy decided to make that decision for Abel.

agreed! :U
How I wish I could be there at those certain moments. There is nothing so satisfactory as ignoring things like pounces and hammer ejects, just to show that no matter what there is always a way to avoid catching the silliness of others...
And wouldn't it be possible for a shapeshifter to reconstitute even certain... bits... rather fast, due to their nature? Or use magical healing? But perhaps this is a Jordan-esque world, and such things are not possible.
And as for blows... I'd say Wildy actually had it more coming to her. But all cubi deserve a bit of a beatdown now and then for being the arrogant and superior...
Well, I'll not say anything I'll regret later. Just that reading someone's mind like that kind of does warrant some violence. Though Wildy went a bit out of line. I for one know how much it hurts to break a marble...

ouch. i just had a image of widly hitting Abel In the crotch with a sho ryu ken. thanks for the unwanted visual.
Of course, I had to change my sig because of this comic and conversation.
Odd... as I recall, Jyrras already sorted things out with Wildy. I don't think she had that coming, certainly not from someone completely uninvolved.
I always assumed Sordid meant Sorry or pathetic, perhaps I'm wrong on this.

Well it's not entirely Wildy's fault, anyway. Jy never got the copy of the book Wildy sent him for him to read and approve, as it was intercepted by Lorenda.

Abel: Not really. Mind shield, remember.

In other words, Abel couldn't have gleaned anything from jyrras even if he wanted to. He only got the surface info, not the full thing. True, even if he did read Jyrras' mind, he wouldn't have gotten much.

I think that they both deserved what they got, but Wildy should'nt have been dealt with by Abel, as Abel really did'nt have anything to do with the whole matter other than being Jyrras's friend.
It was a very rash and poorly thought out decision on Abel's part, but it was'nt unexpected because... come on, it's Abel.
But of course, this also leads into some nice Sub-plot tension, as Wildy seemed DEEPLY hurt while being reminded of her novel.
*Jim's post made ALMOST made me ROFL out of my chair*
Actually, Abel may be a jerk... But on the whole Wildy might've deserved it more.
The whole "Do what I say or else I'll almost kill you" thing to the point where most of your /friends/ are afraid of you is a lot worse than acting like a bastard.
Like my father says..What doesnt kill you...Might as well be a wuss and get it over with...
Abel never needed to read anyone's mind to know Wildy wrote the novel, since he already read it, and gained knowledge from Jy of who wrote the thing, and who it was about.
Now, I think Abel's experiencing pain right now because the only thing he DOESN'T know is that releasing that novel was a mistake (check back there, Wildy thought she had gotten permission) so, an eye for an eye... Well... That's not an eye... but forget all that! Abel hurtz.

More emotional and physical pain all round. Im begining to thing Wildy and Abel have something in common, a tough act concelling much emotional turmoil. Well a good deal of the cast is like that true but Jyras,Abel,Dan and Wildy in particular.
I predict tears before too long and for once they won't be Dan's.
On another matter I had a idea a while back about a cubi that feeds specifical on courage as courage is simple a strong will despite an abundance of fear. Thy could lure wannabe hero to fight with them to test their worth and get a decent meal and the same time.
That was part of a character idea I had a while back that I not sure would work.
Any thoughts?
Okays this might cause something to stir...But...Did ever noticed that it took years later to let us fans realize that the lost lake had a hardwood floor?
Well, it depends on whether http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_180.php is considered partially canon.. (we need more cushion-chairs!)
Well on that note, I must say, Amber did a damn good job with the top-down view in the first frame. That's hard to pull off.
As for backgrounds, or the previous lack thereof, those are a pain to draw, especially with any consistency. I hope I never even have to try. *huggles 3D Studio and the finalToon renderer* Mmm, cheat code for art...
As for Hazard's character... Great, as though my own character wasn't enough of a cubi battery. I don't think I could ever fight anyone here D:

... The hell... I see no reference to D&D, which obviously means someone who's never played can understand his post just fine... Hard to tell if this is flaming or flame-bait... I'm reporting it either way.
In fact, it was a pretty general comment.
But as I see it Wildly had it comming for a very long time. I think Wildly and Jyrass are the best of friends in Wildly perspective. I think she feels *this is my opinion here don't get mad* I think Wildly feels emotionally she dosen't deserve friends at Lost Lake hence the threats of violence to everybody to keep them far away from her. I think she has a wall buit up so high around her true feelings she is so scared to show them to her friends at Lost Lake. When Abel made that stinging comment about how you make friends and write a book and stabbed them in the back. I think Wildly need to think and take account for her actions and try to open up to them. Because as I see it if Wildly continues with the threats of violence and doing things to hurt their feelings. Then Wildly will be all alone.......................
Why did you even have to bring those things up? Stop banging the other posters, don't use Babel Fish but look in a dictionary, and be glad I'm not standing behind you right now.
Aside from Wildy being a jerk, maybe someone will agree with me that Abel might also have deserved a bit of pain for being so asshattish as to not shapeshift when it is required of him. Who is going to fill in?
Oh, and DigitalMan... Personally, I think that even I'd keep on the right side of you after twenty cups of coffee and some Red Bulls, not being a magic user and all. All that caffeine and sugar alone is enough to give someone superpowers.

I'd have thought Abel wouldn't have read through Wildy's memories so quickly. Unless he was reading her thoughts which may have been mulling over the book thing.
Abel was with Jyrras when he found out about the novel. He didn't have to read her thoughts to know what she had done.
I don't think Abel makeing a comment about the book with only second hand information is any worse than Wildy telling him to change into Merlitz without at least trying to find out why he doesn't want to.
And honestly, if Wildy is such a good friend to Jy she should have known he wouldn't like the novel without having to bother is a questioner and what not so I'm a thinkin she kinda had it comeing.

Don't forget that Lorenda intercepted the proof copy so that Jyrras never found out. Personally I think Wildy deserves it simply because she usually wins, and I think it's time she didn't >:3
I understand that but it is still a pretty lame excuse. There never should have been a proof copy because Wildy should have known Jy would have said no in the first place. If she honestly thought otherwise then she needs to get to know her friends a little more.
I always had a feeling that would happen someday, Wildy is the right height for it, after all.
Abel's reaction was rather odd though, is this a variation of fighting fire with fire, except instead of fire, it's evil? He isn't usually the evil sort but he's had a lot of experience with Ink and he did come over there as very Ink-like. Perhaps he might believe that in emulating something he finds to be evil and intimidating, he might aquire that aura for his own use.
That or he might've been trying to EmoJam™ beings again.
I think Abel is
quite aware that he cannot
do that to Wildy
Quote from: Zedd on October 20, 2006, 01:04:34 AM
Theres always worse pain that into the gonads :shifty
*Charline nods* Swallowing a handful of broken glass is MUCH worse! Then you get to feel all the ultra-sharp shards slicing your innards to bits as the peristaltic contractions squish them against your digestive tract over and over and over. Then, from the gashed up walls of your stomach, out pour the gastric juices into your body, dissolving your interstitial tissues and damaging organs left and right! And THEN, your ripped open intestines dump their bacteria-infested wastes right into your adbominal cavity, leading to a raging septic infection (assuming you somehow survive the blood loss from the slicing and dicing of your mesenteric blood vessels long enough for the bacterial load to reach critical levels) and you spend the last hours of your life in such horrific pain that you scream aloud for death.
*grins* It's quite amusing to watch. *PURE. UNADULTERATED. EBIL* >:3
Hardly. Under the right circumstances, the blood loss means that the victim goes comatose from shock long before he or she actually gets to feel anything... well, besides the pain of the glass sliding down one's throat.
Now, burning exposed and sensitive organs such as the nasal passage and eyes with acid, or using carefully placed electrodes to create false pain stimuli...
*smirks* You've never been in an ER, have you? Some people never go into shock. There's a reason such things called sedatives exist, you know.
At any rate, Abel will recover quickly enough. I should imagine that the things he's endured in his past make such a temporary pain quite a trivial annoyance.
Heh. Right you are. But then, I'm much more into mental pain and humiliation than physical. While I do beleive the blood loss could make most unconscious, you could use certain circulation-slowing preparates to make the process more gruesome. But I'd rather combine artificial stimuli with just a tad bit of pain, and loads of psychoreactives administered over a long time, and watch the victim spasm, cramp and twist themselves to death. Like shooting rabbits; it isn't the bullets that kill them, but the shock which hopefully leads to cardiac arrest. If you're lucky, you get to see some broken bones and snapped tendons on the way there though...
And however much you should imagine, there is a trait about Abel that I do not enjoy; his fear of blood and gore. This could possibly be linked not just to the distaste fo these subjects alone, but also feelings connoted to this. Now, when your "balls are busted", you do not just experience extreme pain to the groin, but due to neural stimuli you also feel rather sickly. For exaple; when I crushed one testicle while snowboarding I heaved until I simply could not get up more and then I cramped, and it was impossible for me to stop, no matter how much effort I put in to numb the pain. In Abel, it is possible that the feelings get mixed up, which in this case would put Abel in more shock than just a pair of pummeled balls would account for.
No I think in Abel case it's a touche that Wildly always get what she wants no matter what. But when Abel brought up the reference of making friends and writing a book about them in a not a pretty light. Then you get the reprecussions sooner than later, anyway I think that comment struck a nerve with Wildly and made her think of her actions as not right.
Wildy has always struck me as being long in need of a pwning. She's malicious, sadistic, and yet constantly getting away with it.
Abel, thank you. Way to take one for the team.
Widly did admit as she was stalking off to cool down that Abel threw her off guard so she may have acted instinctively. also i do believe that widly was muling over her actions and the reputations for a while as seen here (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_674.php) so having them brought up especially by an outsider hurt even more then most could image
My prediction is that the plot tension will be relieved either by some spontaneous anecdote, or they talk it out and make things straight...
but I'm leaning twords the previous.
*Edit* We're allowed to do predictions right? Just making sure I'm not stepping over some random forum rule...
If Dan reaches his so big number ages...He rather find ways to get pain...By causing it :shifty

Indeed. Just make sure that you know that in all probability, if you
want something to happen in the comic, speculating about it in the most specific way possible is the worst thing to do.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wildy is just p.o. because Abel called her writing 'sordid novel'. :mowwink

and i guess that's part of what makes it so much fun. trying to understand and read a head in the mind of the cartoonist.
Amber's also openly admitted feeling pressured to change the plot to make predictions not come true, although in that case (Fi) she didn't.
i don't remember that but that i was a last comer the the forums and had only read the comic for the fist time about a month prior to that but there in lies a paradox. " did we guess right? or did we guess wrong? did our guessing change the out come of the comic?. form the fan/ forum prospective it is impossible for us to tell unless the artist/author tells us thus i compare it to the uncertainty principle which i will not go into here as it involves things i'd rather not talk about here.
Wildy just lost some coolness in my eyes. I'm trying to figure out if this makes her appear less ebil...
Here's my opinion like it or not.
Widly is a physical person. If she wrongs you then she would expect physical retrobution. Which is why she said to the little scientist "you can punch me."
Now Abel he's a mental person, if I'm correct his cubi heritage is that which feeds off of confusion which is why he likes to boggle the mind but he is also brutally honest. Able was also living in a school for Cubi for who knows how long and was having fun playing pranks and causing confusion (remember the lack of roommates and why he's not allowed in the library, my favorite line "can't sleep Able will get me"). Able is also used to being around those that do not take things off of face value and he's also used to 'Emotion-Jamming' and 'False-Leading' other cubi so that they don't get who he really is. Able though dispite he acts all rude and such is what I believe a nice guy, though one would think he woul dneed meds to slow down a bit.
Now when Brawns VS Brains the more intresting thing happens. Though Brawns get the most visible injuries in but Brains leaves the most lasting and deepest cut ones, which is what happned. Widly had it coming and in all likelyhood Able was the only one who was going to give it to her.
All in all Able was doing his best to in essence defend himself which made him seem like a jerk but Widly was just doing what she wanted.
I'm not defending either but I'm not going to attack Able. Able is still getting used to being around those that can not read minds. Not to mention the only reason he is there is to teach Dan how to use his cubi abilites, though that's going to be quite fun considering Dan will misuse his abilites for his own amusement.
So in short Widly was more wrong but she got cut the deepest.
Would seem like she did get cut deeply
very analytical and i'm impressed. you explained better then i could have my own conclusions with a more in depth look at able then i was thinking of.
Madmann135; as another newbie to this forum, I must say that I am glad to see that we have yet another sharp, analytical mind here with us. Good to see you.
Merlitz is an adventurer and Alexsi's bodyguard. Yet, this is what happened to him when he attacked Abel. :erk

I really could make such an easy combak to that. Oh could I. Especially with my halloween costume in mind. >.> But I'll not sidetrack the topic and just say that... when I first saw the first panel, with the overhead views, I thought Wildy and Mab were the reporters... cause I didn't recognize em. Then again, I was a few feet away from the screen.
I would have nothing against fighting wildy? Why? Well, let's just say I have both experience in avoiding both glomps, inexplicable blunt objects and people using sheer rage to overcome, and also a... unique... nature that assures my advantage.
Who wouldn't I want to fight? Hmm... Pyroduck, I think. Him or Fa'lina. It depends on the situation.
Wouldn't mind fighting Fa' Lina? Whenever fighting a wizard, it's always best to remember what the very wise have said about them.
'do not meddle in the affairs of wizards'. :magus1
Mab could do the most damage overall, But Alexi the most likely to do the most damage, due to a combination of her HUGE hammer and attitude...
Alexi could probably knock out anyone before they had a chance to react, Fa'Lina might be an exception...

Well, last time this came up Amber seemed to be separating magic and innate abilities into two distinct categories, i.e. spellcasting is magic, the skin-hardening is not magic since it's provided by their metabolism.

It would depend on the demons' skill, I suppose. Adventurers can and do kill them, after all..

Pfft, Wildy is EXTREME enough to fight anything.
I have to say though, my three Favorite characters are Abel, Wildy and Matilda. So, I'm looking forward to more interaction between Wildy and Abel. Just think how awsome it would be if they both despised one thing enough to team up.
It warms my cold, brittle shell of a heart just thinking about it.
And even though both of them, in my opinion, deserved the smack down they got it doesn't mean I'm not 100% behind them.

Like in the movies, or games, or shows, where good and evil team up to take down an even greater evil? God I love it when that happens.
Hmm, there's an opening here for Abel to explain exactly why he doesn't like the idea of people assuming different identities. But will it happen? Only Amber knows :U

From what I've seen I believe Abel just doesn't like it when someone tries to become someone who they are not and therefore take on a completely diffrent Identity.
Now for Able and fighting. Able is well versed in the use of magic and from what I've seen he tends to use quite annoying techniques to subdue his foe for good but he uses his magic to bring his foe down. Therefore Abel uses his brains more than his brawn in combat, except wen he was trying to beat Pyroduck, who won by simply laying down on him [excuse the sex joke there].
From what I've seen I think Widly will have a lot to think about.

I'm pretty sure it'd work. Oh those cubi. Just buy him something fancy for his trouble. Like fancy lint to keep him occupied while the rest of the inn sleeps.
Smart, maybe... but gullible when it comes to anything outside the Academy. I doubt he's figured out what a digital camera is, either.
hmm... there's always the possibility that another Dan could travel back in time from the future useing some technology that jyrras cooked up. Or even a Dan From a parallel universe, or eveb Abel's ebil twin, could pop in magically.

Aaaaaw, Amber... Don't be mean. How am I supposed to respond to

And as for Abel... Stubborn people have a tendency to see things the way they want them, no matter their level of intelligence, which is the same as being stupid. Take Merlitz, for example.
I'd have no need to fight Fa'Lina. We'd just sit down and chat and enjoy baked goods. :3
Honestly, I don't see where Abel deserved to be hit like that at all.
If we look at this from his perspective, He was very recently (as I figure things, just 2 days before) been forced to leave the place that has been his home for the last four centuries. Since that time he's been forced to endure far more being socialization then he felt himself ready for, had an attack fo hemophobia, and found what appears to be a hated foe living under the same roof as him. He's in a stressful time, to say the least. Further,the last he saw of Jyrras, arguably his best friend outside of SAIA (he was pretty close to the warp aci there, and he seems to me closer to Jyrras then Dan) feel extremely hurt and betrayed by this Wildy, who published a book without his knowledge that would hurt the roo rat both socially and emotionally. He has NOT seen the rat since, despite the rest of the 'crew' being rather assembled currently. For all he knows, Jyrras is still fuming mad, or the anger has washed out and he's currently somewhere crying and hurt by the betrayal from someone he trusted as a dear friend. He then is asked to do something he strongly feels against doing, and politely says no. This same Wildy then tells him that his feelings or concerns are worthless, and that if he doesn't do what she says, she'll do something (most likely a physical threat, he doesn't allow her to finish).
Frankly, from his point of view, it looked like Wildy needed to get smacked down, hard. And frankly ALL he did was tell her "NO I'm not doing what you want. I don't like YOU, and I'll tell you exactly WHY."
Keep in mind that unlike Wildy, Abel did not threaten the ferret, did not lay a hand on her, nor did he make a move to do so. And he spoke nothing but the truth. Even if the publishing without Jyrras's concent was a mistake on her part, she DID write the story behind his back. And at some level Wildy knows this, otherwise she would not have been affected like she did. If she thought this was completely taken care of, it was done and in the past, she would have brushed off this subject being brought up. The reason she locked up was because she felt guilty over the situation, she knows she hurt Jyrras and she felt bad for that. This attack only hurt her because in HER OWN MIND she deserved it.
From her perspective though, all Abel is guilty of is pointing out something horrible she did to a friend recently. And he refused something of her. She's a bully who's default reaction if she can think of nothing better is to injure and cause pain to another which with she has a problem.
+2 respect points for Abel
-1 respect point for Wildy
Expect one Internet in your mailbox, Shakal :mowhappy
On another note, what does the real Wildy think of this?

Made by Icarus, creator of Inhuman comic.
I am currently a bit afraid to post right now, since I don't know if Amber is going to hunt me with a blowtorch for saying certain things.
Shakal, that was an excellent summary, though I must day that however much I like Abel I am somewhat inclined to not pity Cubi under most circumstances. Guess I'm a little bit racist too. Going to have to work on that...
Actually Shakal that is quite possiably the most close to accurate explination I've read about why Abel was put down so quickly.
Though I think a few changes would make it more accurate.
Yes Abel was taken from his sancturary to a place he doesn't know, Jyrras is one of the few who were straight nice to him in both SAIA and outside. In fact Jyarras didn't mind that Abel adjusted his wardrobe on the spot, in fact Jarrys was quite happy because of it. Abel probably thinks that Jarrys is the closest thing to a true friend out of SAIA, next to Fi.
Remember Abel is friends with all the warp-aki at SAIA.
I truely think Abel likes Jyrras and watching someone who he liked get hurt by a 'so called friend' hurt him.
Not to mention those that were outsiders or are loners, a true friend is worth more than everything in the world. Jyrras was honist and nice to Abel though they started a little rocky not to mention Abel seems to understand Jyrras a little better than the others and that helps a long way.
Not to mention when someone hurts a loner or outsider's friend said individual may get revenge for said injustice.
Kinda feel bad for Abel but... can't stay upset with Wildy very long. Character is too awesome for that. What we need is a Wild-e-moticon for this type of situation.
I'm wondering... What would convince Abel to help them out.
Going the path that they are going right now the chances are slim to none.
I can understand why Abel helped Dan impersinate Alexsi, partly from confusion, partly for the fun in it, partly cause it's a training exercise and partly because he asked for it.
Now their asking Abel to impersinate someone who he saw for a little while. Someone who he knows little about other than what he looks like and a few personality traits. Not to mention Abel doesn't like it when someone becomes a completely diffrent person which is one factor in why he's against the plan.
I can also give a few reasons on why Abel would be for the plan. the main one being Alexsi, Dan said that she was loosing her touch when Abel classified her as the 3rd scarriest thing he's seen. If she's loosing her touch with that classification considering all that he's seen in his life, How skilled Dan is in combat and the fact that even Dan has a respect for Alexsi (and a fear). The wrath of Alexsi would be the primary reason on why he would impersinate and go against himself by doing the one thing he hates.
Abel could also say that Meric moved out and is no longer working at Lost Lake and say he's the current Bouncer. Which would be completely believeable considering that life moves on
Widly was way out of line. It's been coming and finally it happned. An injury that's to deep to be brushed off by her pride alone

Abel could also say that Meric moved out and is no longer working at Lost Lake and say he's the current Bouncer. Which would be completely believeable considering that life moves on
The fact that Alexsi went into a disproportionate rage when she found out that Merlitz had left suggests to me that it's possible they want to talk to Merlitz especially.
He's a Being mage*, and those are fairly rare. He's also an ex-member of an adventuring team (perhaps they also want to interview him about Gen, Pegasus or Dice?) and one of the very few people who's claimed to have seen a human.
That doesn't make much difference anyway, since Abel knows none of these things and the plan would fall dead as soon as they asked anything tricky...
**EDIT**
*Abel could say that he (Merlitz) is really a 'cubi...
Guess your right Tapewolf.
Though the only way that those people would know about that information would be if they were either watching Merlits's in his past or someone told them about it. Merlitz wouldn't tell anyone he saw a human, that would be reputational suiside.

Everyone at Lost Lake knows about it though (and also Aary) which is why Dan went to freak him out when he was wearing the human patch. The way I see it it would make an interesting side-note in the article, like someone who claims they saw a UFO.

That's not been specified. However it is known that Dark Pegasus returned from the dead, so it is possible. Amber has said that given a sufficient emotional charge someone can in fact will themselves back to corporeal existence. I'll have to see if I can find that info. By the way, this might be better in a new thread...

E-Voyager I think a few of your computer defense programs could be outdated or your ISP is crappy or a number of a thousand things.
Computers are people to. Just ask Jyrras about his two 'daughtors'
only one of which is a computer
and the other is a peace of bagically created bubblegum gal
At the moment..I hope someone gives an icepack for Abels liberty bells
i'm afraid you misinterpreted what i was saying. i said it was my mom's computer and browser that crashed not mine. we happen to live around 10 mile or 16 kilometers apart and i have no trouble with the spell checker at home
... I'm just not going to comment on that one. Don't ask me to.

Okay I thought I would never ask this people...Where do Cubi go when they die? O.o
Where do you think they go? Soulstealing, mind-reading, scum-sucking parasitic beings wielding more power than they've probably ever had a chance to earn and looking down on the world around them and the people, the
lives in it! Hmmph. I don't know if I'm glad they'll end up in Hell instead of outside the universe, in Tartaros.

Just as not all humans eat meat, not all 'cubi eat souls. Dan, for instance is extremely unlikely to do so, at least for the foreseeable future. However, those who don't will live shorter, less powerful lives, as Amber put it. What Abel's position on soul-stealing is is unclear at this time.
Slowly but surely a feeling dawns on you. Not something new, but more like something that was always there in the background, but you somehow never saw for what it was. The walls suddenly seem taller, looming and threatening, and the world feels... dimmed, and darkened. And there is a pressure of sorts; a tension, like something weighing down on you.
Stygian turns towards Zedd, his face a vicious smirk and his pupils a gleaming poison green, glowing in the dim light. His speech is slow, strangely accentuated and hissing as he talks.
Oh, I'm... sorry. I did not mean to offend on such a personal level. Please apoligize my... transgression, but I was speaking out of my... general experience of cubi and... Well... Let's just say we have normally been at odds with each other, with very few exceptionsss.
Slowly, the feeling leaves you. Stygian smiles warmly, then stretches out his hand and flicks Zedd's nose back.
I'll promise not to do it again. >:3
On another note, I have not heard any comments from the real Wildy on this. Might someone contact her? I know she's on, probably even as we speak.
(I apologize in advance for the RP-stylish post, but I can find no better way to accentuate how I would normally respond to this kind of thing. Another transgression I hope you can forgive for the quality of it).

Good - that's a nice soul you got there and it would be a shame if it got stolen or something :twisted
As for "who's a 'cubi", I've started a little thread in the Shout-Out forum, since I'm curious as to how many there are.

I'm not entirely sure as to the point of this. The real life Wildy is a member of the forum, and her own person. She isn't obligated nor should she feel pressured to make comments on the goings on of the comic. And while the character is based from hers, the real life version has mentioned a few times in the past that she and the character Wildy are two separate individuals.
I know you didn't mean ill by it. But really it is kind of sounding like real-life Wildy is in some way obligated to post commentary anytime her comic counterpart is shown. If she doesn't want to comment, she wont. If she does, she will on her own terms and desires. Until then, its best to assume she doesn't have anything to say.
(Pardon for this post if it sounds snippy...I'm a bit tired. I do realize you didn't mean bad. Its just that some of the real life people have been harrassed by others due to their being in DMFA.)
I, for one, am constantly harrassed. My life has been made a living hell - ever since Rafe's apperance in DMFA. Appearing in Jack the same week had to have been a conspiracy between Amber and David Hopkins to destroy me. If only I...
...Sorry. I'm just making this up. I really don't get harrassed. In fact, I'm totally ignored - AN OUCAST OF SOCIETY - no one will speak to me! I'm shunned! People see me coming and cross the street to avoid me! It's horrible! I... uh...
Sorry, I was making that up too. People really don't care about that. It's my WILD FANTASIES AND CONSTANT LYING that turn people away! Yes, that's it! They can't stand me! Aaauughhhh! ...
[
*Charline likes being harassed!* Then I have an excuse to maul people and devour their souls! *raspberries Stygian* Feline cubi always go to heaven , cuz everyone knows God is a cat. :mowtongue
*Charline then awws at Rafe!* You're right! Someone ought to pay attention to you! *The wicked lioness cubi leaps upon the poor Rafe!* Have some attention from me! *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP... GULP....Burp...* You can thank me later! >:3
No news is better than bad news. I've yet to hear any complaints from the characters' real-life counterparts, which means either A) They don't care, or B) Amber got their personalities dead-on. Maybe a bit of both.
... Rafe was in DMFA? :B
Hey, c'mon. If it wasn't for Rafe, there would be no Jyrras! Rafe was responsible for Jyrras's parents Seth and Moira meeting each other. Alright, it was mainly due to his incompetence as a personals editor, but anyway, look here:
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_328.php
But hey, He was reading something important at the time.
Rafe... That comic also explains a few things.
1- why Jyrras is the fastest on DMFA
2- Why Jyrras constantly gets hugged and never mugged

I know. I'm running late as well. And trust me, I would
never stoop to such a level. I just got it in my big, ugly head that maybe you and Wildy were discussing about this sort of thing and... well... Let's just say that I'm interested in her opinion, for perspective's sake. She doesn't seem like
that big a bully to me.

Stygian deftly catches Charline's initial raspberries with his eerily long tongue (bat!), but several consecutive hits still leave him with a smudged face anyway. Bringing a huge, clawed hand up to wipe them off, he says; "Allright, now you've done it. Let me sa..."
He stops short, watching Charline swallow Rafe with disturbing ease with a part incredulous, part amused expression. Then he sighs. "A vore party it is then. I can do that."
Suddenly, greenish-black tendrils flow up from Stygian's arms and behind his back, wrapping themselves around his neck and the front of his face. With a pair of low snaps, he unhinges his jaw, his mouth now having turned into some freakish, gaping, sharp-toothed maw drooling with tentacles, and strides slowly and smoothly towards Charline.(OH NOES! I JUST SAID IT! NOOOOO!)
Also, being cute is overrated. I am big and have scars everywhere, including my face, but I have no problem picking up chicks. Then of course, I do get the weirdest ones...
you know I just realised something.
Dan has Fi who is a Warp-Aci, With Fi they would simply warp to Twink Territories, find Alexsi and be back within the hour.
Such a quick adventure would probably lead to Dan probably liking Fi even more, ordering more Pizzas and getting them in less than 30 minutes, or more if he wants it free.
If I get put in the comic, it's guaranteed harassment. >_>
i doubt it but hey i don't think that getting in the comic will happen to most of us anyway.
bribery works well with Amber. Someone could make a Cameo if they pay her enought money but it probably won't be worth it considering her price is probably high enough to discourage 99.99% of her readers.

but where would the fun be in that? it's funnier this way... and will be even more so if they realize how simple the solution could have been... >:3
That does make me curious. The Gneech always offers a cameo appearance in the "Suburban Jungle" as an Anthrocon charity auction item, and usually that nets several hundred dollars for the charity.
I wonder what a guest spot in DMFA would end up going for... considering that most of us are dirt poor, including myself... even though I work full-time in a laboratory. Take it from me, become a politician in New Jersey if you want easy money... no actual work involved, you can have 6-10 additional jobs and never show up to them... and you can retire from all of them after a year or two and get full pensions for life from every job! :mowtongue

exactly my point! and I know I posted something about it before today, too... sooo many better ways to handle this situation, but lucky for us, Amber chose the most interesting and hilarious... yay, amber! :D xD
personally i have no problems with a violent death. it is part on my character like dying is part of the mega-man games. when he dies he is banished temporary form whatever wold he is is and his body dissolves(also form mega-man games) i once made a joke about the instant cameo in the archive but truth me told i never expect to appear in the comic as i have no ideal what value my could have for it. also very few people have seen me in a non robotic form
We will never know this is Amber we are talking about if any of DMFA fan makes a cameo. Then it's a very rare thing if we do make that cameo do we send a pic of ourselves and she will draw our alter ego in the strip. :meh That's me rambling here.
Sorry, no cameo for me. My char would be... hard to place. Of course, you could get some great laughs in and some catchy drama, not to mention action, but not without the cost of turning the whole bleedin' series upside down in a way. There are many things that would probably go awry in Stygian's presence, not least of which is magic, and many situations where he would do things that might threaten certain balances. Plus, you'd probably need some background explanation at some point in order for the readers to actually get him. So I can positively say there will be no me waltzing around in the comic.
I'd fork out for a cameo, but.... but...
... but I'm scared Amber would do boxpron again. Or worse. *shudder*
What do you mean Learch...
you show us box pron every time you post... well atleas pron in a box... what do you think those two monkeys are doing in there?
They're Heydn.

Yep you are right on that one. I could imagine the time and the cursing at the gods when Amber put one of us in the strip hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I could see the foru letter expletives and a couple of F-bombs. I think it's a bad idea on my part.

*Alondro points to said mob* See what happens? :3
Well Janus kicks more ass than any mere mortal. And he also extended that little non-canon sub-world into his own stories, essentially doubling back the cameo process. Few people here could manage something similar :.
I think the only "character" of mine that could have a cameo is the CameraBot, and that's scary.
Well if you are a good boy,girl or whatever gender you are on your planet maybe if you wish on that star,Save up alot money,Pray to the most powerful diaity or god,and maybe Amber will cameo you..Just maybe ¬.¬;

All the same - and it's not just the Fi fanboy in me talking - under the circumstances, Fi has to pop up somewhere, if only at the end for a comment on Dan forgetting about him (http://www.mabsland.com/Amber/Stoopid.jpg).

*put up sheilds* missed anywho I think this part of the story Dan is getting stronger each day with his new powers. *Ponder on that for a minute*
I can understand why and how Dan would get more powerful with each day. He learns things strangely and mususes his powers, he also has a Warp-Aci at his disposal which was simply Given to him from his kind heart and the fact he didn't want the little guy to be upset.
Dan's a kind soul and we all know if danger arises he will be the first to combat it. Dan doesn't like his magic but one would guess that he will in the future use it in order to understand it more but he still may not like it knowing his stubborn streak, but he knows that knowing magic can be quite handy.
Now I just have a few questions to ask and they are simple.
Alexsi is crushing over a Dragon.
Now if Alexsi has a dragon child and Matty has a cubi/mythos child that would be quite intresting to say the least.
Dan is crushing over a Mythos.

To answer both of them I will not happened yet first with Dan and Matilda offically they have not ask each other out for a "Date". And secondly Alexsi and Pyro I don't know when those two hooked up with each other we was caught by surprise by that one.
Actually Pyroduck and Alexsi kinda got hooked up together in one of Dan's adventurs.
The last pannel of the comic was done diffrently and looked like a joke but I guess it wasn't.
Will have to do a lot of looking to find that comic
This (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_556.php) one, perchance?
Is it just me, or has Pyroduck as of yet never displayed his supposed usefulness or ability to be where he is needed?
Oh, he has. Just not where we can see it. :-)

I just realised something.
Dan's quite sensative to the actions of his friends especally when they are talking in his refrence.
Example
One- Jyrras's mom talking about Dan and his ears literally on fire
Two- Pyroduck asks Alexsi out and Dan gets a chill up and down his spine
Is that Just the Danness or the Cubi part of Dan

Maybe so or it's a sensitive side of Dan that we rarely see in DMFA.
it's called comic humor >.>
I know but its comic humor with a sensitive side to it. But the way how Dan reacts to certing things is funny to watch and laugh.
that's not a "sensitive side"... You don't even seem to understand the meaning of that phrase...

I understand the funny in this comic. Besides I like what Amber is doing to Wildly she is so sexy with her hair like that.

You know, for a moment there I thought you were referring to
the current strip and saying that Wildy was trying to settle with Jyrras by jumping off Lover's Leap.
nope i was just saying that with this problem she has not quick fix. all she can do ins mull her way through+ it and that is forced her to change some, not if Jy-Jy had punched her ant the two had made up after that she would not be going thong this but no quick fix this time

Thong? did you say Thong or Through It could be very interesting to see Wildly in a Thong but that neither here or there. Back on topic with Wildly I think in the back of her mind she is really mulling it over what she did to Jyrass. Who knows maybe she will pay Jyrass a visit and apologized for this pain she has caused to Jyrass. But in due time she will say it in her own words.
well it was early in the morning when i post that by my time. five am with no sleep but i did try to spell it all right. still it was a faux pax that i spelled thong instead of through.
Whoops. Wrong topic.
