Side effects...nah
Such a familiar amulet causes the side-effects. Makes me wonder in conjunction to Abel's Story if Abel or his offspring might be affected by said Side Affects. :o

Well, that answers a question in the other thread about how common transformation amulets are...
That answers some questions about her mood. But her expression in the third panel just gives me that feeling of something going wrong.
So Kria's mom was only half right when she told her "Those things will stunt your growth"
While they do stunt growth it's in your kids
Actualy this effect makes sense to me
Kria's been wearing that amulet for how many years? The amulet's effect is to render the bearer being like. In Kria's case thats hiding of the wings. So decades of constent exposure to magical energy designed to allow her to pass as a being resulted in the magical build up altering her offspring so they can more easily pass as beings. The demonic wing trait couldn't be eliminated at this stage but it's been minimised. Depending on the strength of the magical amulet I'd even sujest that Lorenda's ofspring might have even smaller wing spans

Long term probably means after using it for a couple years, not just one afternoon. In a way it actually worked in Lorenda's favor, and it probably one of the main reasons Lorenda now defies Kria, since she recieves less influence and power from her demonic side.

Your date follows ISO 8601, so I'd say yes.
Anyways, I think that Lorenda's wings and the amulet will turn out to be unrelated. It will turn out that the studies that linked amulet use to side effects will have been flawed and based on test subjects wearing the equivalent of 500 amulets at once.
Kria bought the wrong brand :<
But at least she's looking on the bright side (panel 3, for those of you without a clue)
Once again, her choices have most likely caused the opposite to happen.
hehe I like kria's expressions the first one rocks =3

It probably shouldn't be an issue in this case since the terminology is 'long term', which in Kria's case would have been the past 400(+/-) years. Abel did not have near so long an exposure.
As I said, an afternoon, or a few hours, usually doesn't constitute "long term."
Black_angel called it in the other thread "Aww...Freak out"
Quote from: Black_angel on April 16, 2007, 09:47:41 AM
Hmmmm..... I wonder if she's freaking that her morphing amulet might have something to do with the size of Lorenda's wings? As far as we've seen, she's only removed it once...
You can see Kria's mindset here from two sides, Since Kria likes to go out and rampage, she has little time with her daughter. Now, if Lorenda is a bit unhappy now, they can go and let off steam rampaging, which was how Kria would have wanted it ...

And I bet if she becomes the new overlordess, she will get a patch to make her wings full sized, and custom made ... fitted ....
I do like the last pane, but I'm kind of curious as to how a lesser demon like Kria would go about destroying cities which I think are often protected by other, more powerful Creatures...
In any case it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
In this , I felt it it could have been cities of beings. Is Lost Lake , or even the Twinks city safe ? Will we see an assanation in the mall ?
Kria's stages of acceptance:
Panel One: uh-oh
Panel Two: oh frig!
Panel Three: hmmmm...
:giggle
Everyone seems to forget that Lorenda was gestated all the time while the Amulet was with Kria, along with being breast fed, and all through her childhood and early adolecence, near it . If that isn't a contamination risk, what is ?

hell hath no fury like a cow scorned.
So you can see here, that a lesser demon, or even a determined but educated being, could bring cities to destruction. No wonder the Creature Council is a bit worried . But what happens if Kria's and Lorenda's loyalties go instead to Jyrras ? The balance of power is like a pendulum, swinging back and forth ...
Lorenda has already destroyed seven cities for some unknown reason, and I'm curios why?
Also, how can Kria be certain that it is a side effect of her amulets magic. Perhaps Lorenda's father was also a demon and the fault lies with him, we all know she didn't let him live long enough to tell her any of his family history.
Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectalage, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis. Magic is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.

Lorenda's rampage is only in Kria's mind, or fantasy world, her mother's dream of her daughter becoming a bad ass demon. Lorenda has not destroy any cities that we know of...
Also Kria would know that Lorenda's dad was a being, beyond doubt, she ate him for gods sake, and I would think if he was a demon, he would have put up a hell of fight before being eaten.

*Charline grins* Kria thinks like I do! Sure, the person you're responsible for disfiguring may hate you forever, BUT if you can cause them to turn to ebil and destroy lots of beings, it can be worth it! >:3

Amber said it all in the last panel .........
:aack
PBH
Hmm... I'm wondering...
That first panel, is that Kria suddenly remembering not really paying attention to the salescritter when she bought the amulet all those years ago, or is it her imagination stuck in worried-about-Lorenda mode playing a fun game of "worst possible scenario", like in the second panel?
Looks like the image in the first panel is probably authentic. Otherwise she wouldn't think of it as a possible cause for Lorenda's stunted "growth".

It says, ``Many years ago.'' That makes it sound like an actual flashback. But I do have to admit that you could be right, and Amber's messing with us. She did recently have a hallucinatory episode.
It was "many years ago" for the one panel. The faded tones aren't there in the next two panels, and I VERY MUCH doubt DMFA just skipped ahead "many years", as the second and third panels show Lorenda with wings... Something she's never had.
Quote from: Aridas Soulfire on April 18, 2007, 06:17:27 PMIt was "many years ago" for the one panel. The faded tones aren't there in the next two panels
Your point? I wasn't suggesting that the whole thing was a flashback, just panel one.
Someone suggested that panel 1 might not be accurate. I pointed out that that panel says many years ago, which suggests that it's accurate. I made no speculation on the other two panels.
Oh. I found other words that weren't there. Nevermind those last parts.
Maybe its genetic.
Perhaps Kria has a ressesive trate for small wings and a dominate trate for large wings.
Seeing how the father was a being his wing trate would be ressesive all the way (for the sake of this, dont say "he has no wings" i know)
So Kria = W(large wings)w(small wings)
Father= ww
W w
w Ww ww
w Ww ww
=50% chance of small wings :B
The amulet thing seems to obvious and too quick to assume, although I could be wrong. :U
Quote from: Ouai on April 18, 2007, 07:19:08 PM

Actually this does have some merit. The salesperson said the amulet was known to have side effects in the long term, you'd figure it would be Kria, not her offspring that would be affected directly. Assuming the last time Kria took off the amulet was in Abel's story timeframe then its possible that Kria herself may have small wings now also and the fact that Lorenda has small wings may just be an inheritance from her mom.
But does the amulet contain magic known by the state of California to cause cancer & birth defects? >:3

Whoa thats a scary site
Of course, we are seemingly forgetting that Lorenda's father was a being Bull that had no wings ...
I really want a cape like Lorenda's.
This goes to show that a person's past can be like a kick to the face. Same for magic, only different.
Well, it could also be genetic in the sense it might be a codominant trait.
As in, large wings + no wings = not fully sized wings.

I'm afraid that can't happen; WoW doesn't even have seven cities.
(atleast, only six existed in game at the time that the comic was made...) and half of them wouldn't be valid targets. :B
Also, virtial realestate is probably of no interest to Kria. Though I do think she would look favorably on Lorenda playing on the evil side of the game. >:3
Of course, kids of all sorts can become bad tempered and angry . Look at the toddlers in a supermarket with their kids, and how hot under the collar they get getting shopping, kids,etc, home while fighting traffic ... Rampage anyone ?

Very young Toddler kittens can't have kittens of their own...Who is getting hot under the collar, the cubs?

Every time i see lorenda in a strip i think "man i should really make a Tauren warrior named Lorenda" but then i never get around to it... because warriors are a pain in the ass to lvl. Also im suprised you guys havent brought up the more of the fact that he side effects were LONG-TERM as in the "side effect" will probily remain even after the ammy is removed... and from back then and now her wings seem to have disappeared... this can be a result of many things but im just gonna cover the bigger ones:
She is still using the ammy, she lost her wings in battle or had them removed another way, shes usin one of jy-guy's patches... im just gonna say if she had her wings removed before lorenda was... ehhm... concieved that maybe it could result in the small wings lorenda currently is burdened with... but who knows?! not I says me not I. also can demons hide there wings? or is that just a cubi "we can shapeshift" thing?
Ps, Lorenda is lookin good in 3rd pannel imo... it's kinda sexy in a kinda ~~evil cow gonna chop you into small pieces than eat you~~ way.
All I can think when I read this strip is "You know, we wouldn't have understood panel 1 at all if it weren't for Abel's Story revealing what Kria's amulet does." And then I wonder to myself "so if the timing between this storyline and that strip in Abel's Story was off... how would it have changed that flashback?" Was it always intended that the abilities of her amulet would be revealed and that we'd see Kria with wings before we could have this comic strip so that we could very easily understand panel 1 without finding ourselves going "What's she buying? What does that do? Why does she have wings??" or was it just one of those last minute "hey, wait, now that I've explained this in Abel's Story, I can totally use this as one of the comics in the main storyline!"

I'll bet a Coke that if Regina had won the wallpaper war, the current arc would not be going on right now.
Also note that Amber's been doing a lot of bonus strips for both Abel's Arc and the mainline. If one of the arcs got out of sync with the other, she could easily throw in a few bonus strips to catch one of the arcs up with the other.
P.S. For those paying attention, this probably means that there's a Regina story coming up right after this arc and then Mab's arc, since there's not going to be a Regina bonus arc.

You forget that Lorenda's father was a being type of Bull, who after getting kria pregnant, had an affair with a local filly. We know that Kria has a temper, and ate father + filly . Lorenda's earrings are all that are left ...
I was pretty certain halfbreeds didn't exist, though
Quote from: Aridas Soulfire on April 21, 2007, 12:08:26 AM
I was pretty certain halfbreeds didn't exist, though
Half breed 'Cubi don't exist; we havn't heard about anything else not existing.
I give you a prime example, Destina (full Cubi) falls in love with Dan's dad (Being), result, Dan . He is said to be Cubi, but he is 1 (destina) / 2 (edward ), adventurer , is that a recipe for a 1/2 breed Cubi ? Same with Abel, I think ...
Dan and able are not 'halfbreeds' as such. They are, despite thier being parents, full 'cubi.
It is a quirk of 'cubi genetics and magic that any child of a 'cubi is a full cubi, regardless of the other parent. Cubi are the only race we've been told this is so for.
I think I saw something like that in Furfire / lost dreamers / comics section somewhere, about cubi reproduction, but it did not say anything about the child Not being a crossbreed, just both of the parents were compatible ...
I think it has to do with all creatures, as it seems being a creature is largely a magical thing... it's what sets beings apart from creatures most of the time.

A quick forum search will reveal that Amber herself has said that, which a cubi/being or cubi/mythos pairing will result in a child that may physically be a halfbreed of the two, but will either be a full 'cubi or won't. In other words, and for all intents and purposes, a 'halfbreed' cubi is either fully a 'cubi or not a cubi.
Well, we all forget little details at times. Seems this was my time ...
so in other words... halfsize wings got nothing to do with it.
Could be a case for Lorenda ... But remember Kria is a DEMON-MARE, not a Cubi ...
Amber's only spoken of CREATURE hybrids. By the way things appear to work, there's nothing that says someone will get smaller wings because they're part being. Beings seem to get along with full sized wings at times, so there shouldn't be a single thing to mess anything up.
Besides all that, all this unnecessary speculation is killing the joke.
