*sorry for not putting date and number in, fixed now
ATTN Hellcat!!!: There is a method to the madness in this forum for comic related topics Date in month-day-year format then comic number and finally topic.
It's official, Dan is now the babe magnet in Lost Lake. They all wanna get under his shirt.
"San Widler" might have been onto something.
*collapses laughing*
Oh, Lorenda's gonna be beating herself up over this for DAYS!! I don't think any of us thought the fight would be broken up over this. But I love how Lorenda knew exactly which buttons to press to get her mom to help. Oh, poor poor Lorenda. And poor Dan. And poor Aliph. "My mortal enemy is dating my niece?!!?! Oh, okay. No hard feelings, Daniel?"
Happy Kria is quite possibly the happiest thing on earth. :U

...Imagine how Regina would feel.
Dan would have to postpone his revenge and justice plans until another day, preferably after the 'breakup.' Lets hope Dan understands the reasons for Lorenda and him 'dating each other.'
*does a happy dance*
Mad thinks Lorenda could be in politics.
I don't know how.
But somehow, Matilda is going to find out about this. And then there will be repurcussions. Even the friendliest of roses have thorns, yes?
I'm looking forward. :D
EDIT:
Second thought that occurs to me. Despite whatever happened to DP, he seems to still be winning. After all, this line of reasoning wouldn't exactly apply if Dan was wiping wet chunks of DP over the walls, they'd presumably be helping out old uncle Aliph. Although maybe not, they didn't seem to care too much that he was about to kill Regina. Maybe it's "Family shall not fight one another" but at the same time respecting the outcome of scuffles, whatever their source and victim.
ooh just noticed the sweatdrop on Lorenda! Good work reviving the classic manga expression Amber

Nope: second- relatives don't count (http://www.missmab.com/Cast/regina.php). ;)
Also, Amber, regarding the wallpapers... just draw the danged things. Seriously, I don't think we'd be pissed off getting an awesome group shot of all the characters (well, all the characters in two groups) even if they are just standing around. Albeit, if you had them posed in some environment it'd be kinda neat, but something tells me you wouldn't get too many angry emails. Except from the rampant porn nuts. But how many of those could there be?
Anyway, response-rant is ranty. And I can't speak for everyone, of course. But, come on Amber: give yourself a little bit more credit. :hug

I think she was trying to get her to admit he was her boyfriend
I'm not entirely sure what to say. Thats one way of putting a stop to things. And I agree that somehow Matilda will find out and there will be drama. Just, wow. Did NOT expect that one. Well played, Amber. Well played.

I think that she figures he wasn't falling for his charms so he must love someone else, and her daughter is a likely suspect since she was trying to stop the fight.
Now all Lorenda has to do is think hard at Dan "I told my mom we are dating to stop the fight play along or she will kill you"
I didn't even have to look at the TEXT to laugh at Kria's expression in that third panel.... :giggle
I'm trying to remember why her "cutsie" expression in the last panel looks familiar--I wouldn't have seen it elsewhere in either comic, but I KNOW I've seen an expression like that SOMEWHERE.... >.<
Anyway, didn't expect Lorenda to say that, even though she's read Wildy's spy novel and liked it, and it featured her and Dan in a secret forbidden romance.... :erk
I just wonder what's going to happen now, both with Dan and Aliph fighting each other AND with Lorenda's "revelation"....
<.<
>.>
Happy Kria is possibly the scariest thing I've seen yet. I am still impressed to this day how this can be such a web of complex relationships, drama, tragedy and comedy in one whole mass.
Definitely unexpected.
But what will happen when the fight is broken up and both Dan and DP find out why? I'm half way expecting them to suddenly get the blank stare the accompanies one who's brain malfunctions due to a "What the..." error. Similar to this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_529.php) blank stare.
Also let's hope that Matilda understands/is considerate otherwise Dan still might have problems...

I consider that or critically wounding him a strong possibility. It's also
remotely possible that once Kria gets between them, Dan will surprise everyone and kill DP by striking through Kria's non-vital areas. Can demons have BSODs?
Family manipulation is just a B word away for the soulstealers.

That wouldn't be a case of royalties - Lorenda would just have to cover the cost of one paperbound test volume. And that would be to the publishing company and not Wildy. If they ever bother to ask for it back if she didn't send it - the whole thing is pretty much a loss for them, so what's one more book?

I was mostly making a quadriplegic joke there, but thanks for the info. :)
Heh, go Lorenda! Of course, I expect Kria to pull a Fa'lina on them and immediately start in on plotting herself some grandbabies. I do hope Dan can shift mental and emotional gears fast enough to keep up with Lorenda's masquerade. Kria can help the situation a whole lot by making sure Regina scrams before breaking up Dan and DP (if Regina hasn't grown a brain and scrammed already).
Third panel super-happy Kria is a bit disturbing though -- but at least we know she approves. :mowhappy And yes, even if it was true and Kria knew Dan was Lorenda's boyfriend, I think she'd still give him a try - once anyway.
I don't expect any problems from Matilda about this -- though she may show up to see what's going on. Matilda seems to be able to read Dan very well -- she will know that he's telling the truth when he explains.
Aaaand there it is... Lorenda's intervention... Not exactly what I had thought but it's something...
I also wonder if Lorenda did this only to save Dan or she wanted to save her uncle as well...
Edit: Btw, how can you be scared of someone who just radiates happiness? :3
That smile was entirely too happy. I mean, happy to a point of malice. I love it.

Say wha..?
Or was that a nonsequiter?
Oh, that was well-played. From Kria's point of view it all fits with why Lorenda went off in a huff after she tried to hit on Dan. I guess we'll have to see about Dan's thought-reading powers and/or general common sense to see if he can play along properly.
**EDIT**
And Amber, hope you can make Anthrocon. The last two years I seem to have ended up helping pay someone else's travel expenses - I imagine I'm not the only one who'd donate to that particular cause.

I don't think so, it was probably a reaction to her mother pulling on her arm as she went to break up the fight... or at least that's what it looks like to me.

I assume you are being rhetorical. Lorenda just doesn't want her uncle or Dan killed, and she knows how to manipulate her mom to do it.
BTW, I expect Kria's power level is in a completely different class than either of them, so expect this fight will be broken up with extreme speed and predjudice while they are both "distracted" with each other.
Quote from: jeffh4 on March 20, 2009, 06:49:21 AM

A mixture of dry humour and trying to understand Kria's viewpoint.
Has anybody considered the idea that Kria might know the truth. She is bound to revive DP from honor but is willing to tell Dan how to stop it. Honor prevents her from stopping the fight unless she has a reason. Remember, Kria didnt spend the last few hundred years knitting.
Also, girls have the right to change boyfriends. Jyrras used to be her boyfriend. A girl can have multiple boyfriends. She didn't say that they were engaged.

Jyrras used to be Lorenda's boyfriend - in Kria's mind. Other than that, the rest of the statement holds true.
Dan has a chest wound, but DP looks like he was put into a blender and pulsed once.
Hard to say who is being rescued from whom here, DP is ahead on points but Dan has the momentum back.
I've been thinking that, for Lorenda, this had to be beyond awkward. Nice one, Amber.
But this doesn't do anything to resolve the underlying conflict, it just pushes the day of reckoning into the future some.

You know what? This is most likely gross overanalysis/nitpicking/artistic license on Amber's side, but DP isn't screaming anymore.
Hehehe. Oh, Lorenda...
I am kind of unsure why she's "wargh"ing in the last panel. Possibly frustration that she had to use that particular lie to get Kria to do anything.
But yeah, I do notice a lack of banging, screaming, and growling.
Maybe it is over or they moved to another room. Or ,the most likely choic, Amber's lazy and decided to not make Dan and DP sound effects.
Aw, hell, it's not like Kria even expects them to be happy and lovey-dovey forever; this IS a woman who sees nothing wrong with eating the husband as part of a divorce settlement. Lorenda could just as easily change her mind later, though I imagine Kria wants to see at least some blood before accepting it wasn't meant to be.
As for Amber: Print Sets sell better than you'd think. You wouldn't believe how much I've made recently off of a bunch of Zodiac-themed buttons and bookmarks. Really, the hardest part is accepting that people ofte want this stuff more than they'd want your comic-related materials, but that's what you get when dealing with people unfamiliar with the comic... though yours'd be more recognized than mine, I'm sure ;)
Besides, I've never noticed that having too many things for sale comes back to haunt you. If you think your time is well-served by 'em, do it, otherwise don't.
Heehee. And more elements of Wildy's book seems to come to play...

It doesn't say that explicitly, but it does say "divorced" (in quotes) on her cast page. It's possible Lorenda was conceived out of wedlock I suppose...
Poor Lorenda. Look at her face in the second panel, and just imagine the moral dilemma that must be running through her mind. I think the "WARGH" is a continuation of her thoughts. Not that she hates Dan- quite the opposite- she was pretending to actually love him to save him.
And no, Kria does not expect Lorenda to stay with Dan. Remember when Lorenda was "breaking up" with Jyrras? Kria wanted to kill him even though it was Lorenda that was leaving, and she didn't try to get them back together.
I can't wait to see DP's reaction. And Dan's, since this is going to be news to them both! hehehe.

Jyrras is food, though. Remember the 'Cubi Representative business - Dan's race is powerful enough for Regina etc to think DP was in deep doodoo.
Oh sure. My point was just that Kria doesn't really care about how her daughter's relationships go. She wants to be the perfect mom, which includes not being hypocritical. And eating your husband is not exactly worse than just leaving him. (Does my grammar work out there?)

Well i will wait for the expression on Dan's face when this revelation hits. Ohhhhhh jeeze the frozen stare, But i have a question when Lorenda mentioned the fact to Kria that Dan is her boyfriend she said it without hesitating, I'm thinking there is some sort of a attraction to Dan in a secret sort of way like a crush to him and that book that wildly wrote about those two in a secret romance with each other. Maybe reinforce that secret crush for Dan to make him my boyfirend. I might be daft here does anybody else saw that also.
I don't think Lorenda's going to have to keep up "he's my boyfriend" act for long. I see Kria stopping the fight, and Lorenda saying something along the lines of "Yah...we're not together." Kria's attentionspan seems like the kind that would go "Oh. Poopy." instead of just stabbing Dan himself.
And don't be too hard on yourself, Amber. We'll love anything you give us. And if you want to make images, do it. If you feel like they need a purpose, you can conisder postcards. Just make the prints a certain shape and bam, postcard.

[/quote]
Since Dan could end up being the father of her grandkids ( a great catch in her opinion remember ) he would definatly qualify .
MWAHAHAhAh!!! The face on Kria is priceless! As is the one I am imagining on Lorenda to boot. :mwaha
Poor dan, will he ever get through a fight without a lady ruining the "moment" (First it was the gummibears song, now this).
At least there's a chance he won't have to be revived this time.
(One quick thing...is it possible that one of Kria's ancestors long long LOOOONG ago was a demonrabbit (possibly once destroyed by a holy grenade to boot?), thus explaining her long ears?)
And why the heck am I a pygmy shrew Fluffy Fluffball??
On a far off what if question, how do you think Kria would spoil her grandchildren.
Yes she was remarkably laid back when the fighting was going. But when boyfriend was mentioned, it was almost like she was planning the wedding in her head and I wouldn't be surprised if that's true she would be thinking about being a grandmother in the near future.
Does this have to deal with Kria's ex in any way?
This theoretically pulls Dan out of immediate danger, and DP as well. It doesn't solve the fact that Dan and Regina vowed to destroy each other.
If Dan truly means to kill her, leaving it until she's a powerful, experienced demon is probably not a good idea.
Well, it's all well and good that Kria's stopping them, but won't Aliph be even more pissed when he finds out that his niece is "dating" his archrival? Maybe Lorenda should have thought this through a bit more.

Probably not, no
then again, if DP is her uncle, then it will mean shen won't be as powerful as DP, ever, even when fully grown, due to Demonic Bloodlines (read the hyrbid genetics arcs for conformation)

I don't think she's a halfbreed. If you look at Lorenda's cast page, it states both sides of the breeds. Then look at DP, Kria and Regina: only one breed mentioned. That's not definitive of course, but it might be an indication.

Nope. You are forgetting how guys think. Commitment -> Marriage -> BABIES terrifies all single males, even if they happen to be dragons. Remember that it was the word "Babies" that Pyroduck was babbling, not "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Ah yes though now I'm really wanting to see into pyroduck and Fa'lina's relationship. It seems to be one of the oddest foster relationships.

Without hesitating?
Kria: "You know family always comes before business."
Lorenda: "..." *next panel* "..." "Dan...is my boyfriend."
You do understand that the ellipsis is the sound of silence (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VisibleSilence), right?
You know, I wonder how much Lorenda is attached to her uncle Aliph?
Lorenda never knew her dad, and in humans at least that can leave a kid with serious issues. (There was a panel in one strip that had Lorenda on the psychiatrist couch, taking about this, Not necessarily canon, though.) That can be avoided if the kid finds someone else to fill the role of father. We really haven't seen Aliph outside his villain role, so we just don't know whether or not he'd have been willing and capable of doing that.
I doubt that Lorenda is to attached to Dark Pegasus. After all, he's been dead for a lot of her lifetime, but she never seems too depressed, does she? You'd think that as a demon, she'd request the name of the killer and seek revenge. Actually, scratch that. Only Inigo Montoya and Dan have done that and neither of them are Demons. Sorry!

This theoretically pulls Dan out of immediate danger, and DP as well. It doesn't solve the fact that Dan and Regina vowed to destroy each other.
If Dan truly means to kill her, leaving it until she's a powerful, experienced demon is probably not a good idea.
Well, Alexei is looking for a new bouncer/bodyguard. Maybe Regina gets stuck with the job as some sort of penance for causing mayhem at an establishment that's owned by another Creature. Their laws don't do much to persecute Creatures preying on Beings, but what if it's within the establishment owned by a Creature? A different set of laws might be involved. That'd be a twist.
I'll be extremely disappointed if this doesn't end up with Dan tied to a bed.
I might have to agree with inuhanyo. Heck, we don't know if DP treats Regina better than what Kria does with Regina. Then again, it would probably be the same. : P

It's not, though. Unless there's something we don't know about Alexsi (and there is no proof of this at all AFAIK) the inn belongs to a Being. It does have two 'Cubi and at least one Fae in regular attendance though.
Edward and Destania owned it at one point, but I've heard ownership has been transferred to Alexsi - at least temporarily - since then.

well, if Alexsi can scare a Cubi of Abel's age, she'd do wonders for Regina.
also: ooh, ick, amber injured herself.

Yep, but timing is the issue. When did the event with Regina and Dan occur? Was it before he went to adventure school? If so, then Destania was definitely there.
8) Well, in Kria's eyes, the question of Lorenda being gay and I'll love anyway, no matter what, seem's to have just been annulled ...
Very True. But what do you think? Is Lorenda "have the Gay?" as her mother says? She hasn't had any boyfriends, and her response to Jyrras seemed similar to Dan's response to Jyrras, and she didn't know he was gay. Therefore, the sexual orientation problem could be on her end and Jyrras'
boy is Jy gonna be jealous. >:3
I'm surprised no one else posted these, so I guess I'll have to remind everyone of Dan and Loren's Alex & Emma moment.

Only if he finds out (and to be fair, Dan's already said he can't have him and Jy has confessed his love for Abel). If you want jealousy, Matilda could be a bigger problem.
I just hope that what happens in Soulstealer Manor stays in Soulstealer Manor.

I don't really see Matilda as the jealous type. : L
to be fair, we've seen no evidence of any intimate physical interaction between Dan and Matilda...
Wildy, now that we're on the subject...well, there was that one S&M scene between the two in the early strips.

If your implying a deeper relationship between Wildy and Dan,I'm gonna have to say it would be crushed with this here comic. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/PD_09.php)
Unless your trying to say something completely different or nothing at all...

Is it intimacy or is Wildly just marking her territory? :P
I think it's more of playing cowgirl and cow then sheriff and bandit.
As for Matilda, I think with their last parting words even though they didn't become a couple she still hinted at being interested in Dan. But it still remains to be seen if they will be anything other then friends.

That depends on how possessive she is over a casual (or less) date.

QuoteIf Dan has to be rescued, is he really a suitable man for Lorenda?
Well, firstly, she probably doesn't see it that way.
Secondly, Kria is a hypocrite. Lest we forget, while she claims she believes in survival of the strongest and the like, its clear that she only believes that when its convenient. When it comes down to someone she knows (Abel, Aliph, Lorenda) she doesn't go by the "survival of the strongest" principle. Its family this time; with Abel, he "wasn't a target" and she knew him.
Third, Kria is a pervert, and she thinks Dan is hot.
Fourth, she does a lot of stuff to mess with people, as how she acts around people she knows and people she doesn't is very different, and its very likely that at least some of it is a show for other peoples' benefit.
Fifth, she values creatures more than beings. As Lorenda is a softie, she may think that Lorenda being with a creature is vastly preferable to a being like Jyrras.
And lest we forget, from our point of view anyway, Kria is a bit crazy, but also does things like this. (http://"http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_365.php") There is more to her than a lot of you are giving her credit for.
Kria, for all her seeming shallowness, isn't nearly as shallow as people seem to believe she is for whatever reason.
QuoteWell, it's all well and good that Kria's stopping them, but won't Aliph be even more pissed when he finds out that his niece is "dating" his archrival? Maybe Lorenda should have thought this through a bit more.
How would that really change anything?

It does kinda look hypocritical, but it should be noted that Demons are noted for their strong familial ties. In the case of Abel it's a bit of a stretch, but keep in mind that she helped raise Abel in a way, as she helped teach him when he was young.

Fair enough. I don't agree though. She's honest and expresses exactly what she's thinking. She finds Dan attractive and doesn't make any qualms about it, I don't see the problem here.

We all do that. We all keep people at different distances from our real selves. Kria is just much more of an upfront and in your face kind of person though so when she does it, it's quite obvious.

I think with her, it's not a race thing, but a strength thing. For example she started to find Jyyras hot once he started fighting back.. even if it was just ankle biting.

You'll get no argument from me. Watch out for the folks still hung up on the good vs. evil, black and white, crowd though. They seem to not like it when we point out that these aren't one dimensional beings doomed to be crushed by the hero in their blazing glory.

I think given Kria's quick change of attitude on the matter he's expecting some some conflicting emotions in DP once he finds out that Dan is potential family. I'm not so sure. DP isn't going to be suckered by tradition and stereotype so easily. It's hard to say though for me. DP has become quite the wild card in my opinion.

Eh.
I consider this to be about the same speech that Elastigirl gives in in the black & white interview at the beginning of The Incredibles.
I don't put too much value in Wildy's professions here. Sure, she values her space and independence, but she would think being in love with someone to be a weakness. Not only in the way others see her but how she sees herself. She would have to compromise her own values and desires for someone else. Maybe we should ask the real Wildy on this. She posts here sometimes 8)
My, Kria has so many pointy little teeth. . . :blink
(As a side note, we've been bantying back and forth about how much training Dan has with his tentacles and control for all those cuts DP has been given, and the cut columns, etc. We forgot about the training he received under Aary, though - http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_387.php heh.)
Way back at SAIA it was mentioned that Dan thrives on pain, as well as justice and doing the right thing. Hence, when he's hurt, or when he feels like he's doing the right thing, he probably becomes stronger. This may mean that hurting Dan is actually counterproductive, as he's got the shonen power that being beaten up makes you stronger, and being able to relate to his foe would probably make him weaker because he wouldn't feel as just in his action.
So it may be that fighting people like Regina or Dark Pegasus actually makes Dan more dangerous, and that Dark Pegasus, by hitting Dan in the chest, made Dan stronger.
Nothing like giving your characters canonical shonen powers :P

Amber has commented on this. Yes, Dan gets a bit of a rush from combat, but he's using up energy faster than he gets it, even with that.
Maybe in time, as he learns more about absorbing energy via emotion, and learns to fight with his Cubi powers more efficiently ...
For now, it's a good thing he belongs to a clan with a living founder, it gives him an extra energy resource to tap during emergencies.
