Title: 10/01/08 [DMFA #940] - Guess Who
Post by: Naldru on September 30, 2008, 11:05:45 PM
It does raise the possibility that Destania gave Dan the address of something other than Dark Pegasus's lair.

By the way, the dress looks good on Lorenda.  Now we get to see if Kria and/or Jyrras are also around.

Jyrras might still be with Abel, but given how long it must have taken Dan to tell his story he might be home by now. Very interesting... and how did Fi not know she could to turn gravity on and off? About young is she?

And where did Lorenda get that outfit? I don't think she's ever worn anything like it before.

Sweet Mother of all Darkness! This deserves a grass skirt "Twist" smiley. Too bad I never finished making the danged thing. ...back on topic.

Who wants to bet that DP's real last name is Soulstealer? I've suspected it since Kria's last appearance in Abel's Story, but I wasn't expecting it to actually be spelled out like this. "Hi, Lorenda. I'm here to re-kill your grandfather. Awkward, isn't it?"  >:3

*Edit* My post count just hit the magic number. And on the start of my birthday month no less.  :mwaha

I wonder what Lorenda is doing there. We know what Dan is supposed to be doing, even if we don't know what he's actually doing...

And I'm with Fi. Lorenda looks good in that outfit. I wonder if she's been shopping again...

I approve of Lorenda's clothing.  That is not all.

My theories on her presence there:

1.  She's employed by DP
2.  She's related to DP
3.  She's dating DP
4.  She's DP's land lord
5.  She's taken up adventuring
6.  She's actually a 'cubi who's working for DP to track Dan since the last encounter and managed to scan Lorenda's image from Dan's mind when he was at the institute (or saw him hanging out with her) and knew she would be out of contact with Dan&co and is currently using the guise of Lorenda to trick Dan for some nefarious purpose.  *for those of you who missed it, but chose this option, please pick up your complimentary tinfoil shining kit.  It helps keep the rays out.*
7.  She moved into the house, but didn't read the fine print about the underground evil lair.
8.  She moved in on the advice of her mother, who hopes Lorenda and DP will hit it off.
9.  DP moved since Dan's instructions due to the length of the flash back and thus Dan has the wrong house.
10.  She got drunk one day and...

Always nice to have options... I guess. :/

I'll take number One Alex. For $200

Lorenda last discussed her next gig with Dan not that long ago, if I remember right. She might have been a little fuzzy on the details, or they were a little nondescript in the application.
So, Awkward HO!

There is a thought that would have never once crossed my mind, and only did when you mentioned it. And kinship they may have, but I'm fairly sure the whole ''eating whatever you please'' thing, doesn't stretch out as far with DP as it does with Kria, simply because of this (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_932.php) comic, as there would have surely been plenty to ''eat'' on the way there, unless he teleported.

I must say this is the first time I was actually surprised with Lorenda as the comedy.  I'm guessing that this is Lorenda's latest job and the next question comes in what will she do if/when Dan says he's there to put DP back into the ground.

Though my condolences go out to DP, the last few times he came back he chose quality over quantity and it is stinging him in the tail.  A dragon that Dan owed money to and a friend of Dan...

The boxen, no less.

And I'm with Tapewolf on this one. This must be Kria's house. But wouldn't that be an interesting little triangle? This might mean that Kria is in with Destania and Bigg's plan to kill all dragons (refering to the statue), so why is Kria reviving DP? Is he a family relation? Or is he in on it too?

Man, kiss dragons goodbye, they're screwed.

Or I could the truth could be much simpler, and I'm on pluto some place. I'll write yall a post card or something.

All who bet that Kria is in on this somehow. (raises hand)

There's always the possibility that Dan has the right address and Kria's the one who resurrected DP. It would explain the IOU left behind - Kria can be polite when she wants to be (she didn't take her husband to court, she hasn't acted on her crush on Jy as forcefully as a demon might, etc.). So does this mean that Lorenda went to live with her after all? I wonder how Jy's doing if that's the case...

It met Pip when it was just coming out to try and warp Dan to SAIA.

And I'm willing to wait and see where this goes, but I don't think Lorenda's moved out of Jy's house: everything seemed to be okay between them last we checked. Maybe this is just a party that Lorenda's been invited to and Dan's now crashed into. Well, we'll see, won't we?

Down by her shoulder.  Teeniest bit of a dark colour peeking out from behind her hair.  If I remember correctly, her teeny wings came in a dark colour after the corset squishing.

Don't look very dark to me. Also she says in 773 that they can be covered by her jacket. And guess what she's wearing now? ;-]

And in 758, she mentioned moving home with her mother, possibly... And in 851 she's wearing a jacket, also. And mentioning something starting next weekend to Dan. So.... yeah. Should be interesting seeing what Amber does with this. ;-]

Lorenda is formally dressed, so I suspect she is a guest at a soirĂ©e.  However, she is checking on a trap.  I doubt a guest would be sent to do that, unless she was a member of the family.  I place my chips on she is a distant relative at a family reunion.   c:

That'll go down well with Matilda.

I wanna say judging by the clothing that she's there for a casual nature, but at the same time I would be surprised if she wasn't there as an employee judging by the statement by Dan about the lack of a trap...  Seems like she'd be there to eat the poor saps that fell in the pit.

ACTUALLY...

The long dress might hold for something formal, and I actually haven't seen many long dresses like that aren't held on with two thin straps or without being incredibly tight. The jacket seems pretty small considering it reaches just under her dress, so it might just be the means to hide her wings. Also, did Lorenda lose weight?

Lorenda also has eaten other before. It's very likely Kira sent her to just that to whoever fell. Since it was "Just dan" she didn't.
