Update: Server is back up.

(Sorry for the inconvenience on the server.  I've temporarily put the most recent comic up on Mab's Land in the meantime...though the majority of readers likely won't notice.  :<)

Nevermind the feather! Did you see how Abel was reacting? To say nothing of the look on Pyroduck's face afterwords? I think our resident self-proclamed time traveler has had a run-in with Able once before.

What the heck are Abel and Pyroduck up to?

Does Abel recognise him? Is Pyroduck actually a Cubi? Did Pyroduck flash Abel? Why did Abel freak? Why does Pyroduck look like its no big deal?

Questions, questions, questions...

All Pyroduck needs is headwings and he'll be a cubi! Lets just say that he's using his cubi powers to hide his wings.

see this all ties back to my Abels story speculation that Pyroduck went back in time and saved Abel from a time traveling mosnter sent to destroy him so he and jyrras would never fall in love.

Note about RPGs, not everyone has to stick to a party of 3.  The more the merrier, and Dan still has beef since Alexsi's involved, even if he doesn't get first crack at Biggs.

To further the speculation line of Pyro being a cubi, what if he's (one of) Abel's ex(es) from SAIA? spend 400 years at school, and if you let yourself out of your shell even every once in a while, you're likely to have at least a few relationships.

Oh, I didn't notice the feather.  That's bizarre, and rather creepy. 

Abel's reaction to Pyroduck I definitely did not expect, and that's interesting on a number of levels.

Pyro has a gold band on his tail which he never, ever removes.  If that isn't the behaviour of someone using a patch, then I don't know what is.  But that means that he can't be a 'cubi, since he wouldn't need it.  Even Dan is using the Power nowadays.

Since Pyroduck seems to know about the future, the time-traveller thing seems likely.  That means he might be a Being, since he could have visited Abel's past, and done what ever terrible thing has freaked Abel out.
Either that or he's a Demon or an Angel, since they are the other chief candidates to have been around before Abel entered SAIA - but that would imply some kind of early patch technology in the past, a'la CJP.

One possibility is that Pyroduck is the Creature that Devin is hunting, or was somehow responsible for his orphan status, but looting, pillaging and murder seem a bit out of character for him, and besides that's far too direct for Amber.

Title: Re: 09/13/06 Blissful?
Post by: Rowne on September 13, 2006, 04:50:32 AM
I like that theory, Tape.  I'd come to a similar conclusion myself.  In my own meandering way.  First I looked at Pyro and didn't see it, then I looked again and did.  Then I looked at Dan.  This was followed by some chin-rubbing and queer thinking as to what Dan and Pyroduck had been up to.  I surmised the hearty shake-up of a rollercoaster and forgot about it.

I didn't really pay attention to Abel though, that's also interesting.

Anyway, I went onto Abel's Story and remembered that Devvy had blue featheryness on his tail.  At that moment, there was a clicking sound, promptly followed by the "Ooooh~" of knowledge new.

That's definitely a theory worth spending some time to mull over but since I don't have all that much time to mull, I'll leave the mulling to other professional mullers who mull over that which will be mulled.

The most important part of this comic though for myself was; a story featuring Pyroduck, yay!  I like Pyroduck, quite a lot, he's very nifty.  Not only is he DMFA's Doctor Who, he has a wonderfully alien appearance.  Not to mention the golden eyes; another feature that he and Devin share.  Saaaay ... but we're not going there.  Right?

I just hope Pyroduck isn't sad throughout the adventure.  Sad Pyroduck would make for a gruelling experience.  Happy Pyroduck will make for a story that I'll remember.

Rowne, I can't see a flaw in your Devin/Pyroduck reasoning - I just have problems accepting it :P

What I really wanted to say was this;

How will Dan and Abel get to meet Destania?
Will Wildy discover that the only reason Destania allowed her to escape the Twink realm alive was because Dan was with her that time?
Will Dan and Abel sneak off leaving the inn totally unguarded?
Will their attempts to keep the inn open destroy it completely?  Will Alexsi beat Wildy to pulp for leaving Dan in charge of it?  [See strip #084]

And you think I don't?

I suppose time detectives (I really, really shouldn't call Pyroduck that) need to go undercover occasionally, which means acting out a different personality suited to whichever mission they happen to be on.

... still, no.  It's just too much of a contrivance.

... ... ... isn't it?

Quote from: Tapewolf on September 13, 2006, 05:23:36 AMHow will Dan and Abel get to meet Destania?

Dan and Abel choose to follow, as bushes!  Bushes will little drums.  And they play the little drums whenever they move, for ambience.  And yet, somehow, nobody notices!  Other than everybody.  And they get invited along anyway.

... well, it worked in Emporer's New School.

Quote from: Tapewolf on September 13, 2006, 05:23:36 AMWill Dan and Abel sneak off leaving the inn totally unguarded?

They'll put Jyrras in charge.

He'll take this oppurtunity to experiment with explosive new cocktail mixes for the denizens of Lost Lake.

Lost Lake will cease to exist, just in time for the Inspector to arrive (that hasn't happened yet, I believe?).

Dan will be blamed.

And mauled.

Again.

Why are you people so obsessed with Cubi? It would be boring if everyone was a Cubi in disguise.

Er, because more than half of the population that RPs here decided it would be cool if their characters were cubi. I am still waiting for the Angel or Demon arc to be written, and the inevitable creation of those characters.

It's called a bandwagon.

Perhaps.  I think it's called "'Cubi have all the advantages".  Let's see : twice the lifespan of an Angel or Demon, and thirty times the lifespan of most Beings - and that's just by virtue of their race.  If you can bring yourself to eat other people's souls you can extend it pretty much indefinitely, or at least until the adventurers get you.

Then we have the fact that they are naturally adept at magic, and can read minds, enter dreams.  They don't need to eat or sleep either, and of course we have the shapeshifting power - the only thing that could top that is Matt Keller's 'Plateau Eyes' (which 'cubi might be able to do anyway).

I can't speak for other people's choices, but Jakob is a 'cubi because I thought it was a fascinating race to write about, and besides it was supposed to be a one-off anyway. 

QuoteI am still waiting for the Angel or Demon arc to be written, and the inevitable creation of those characters.

We shall see  >:3  I still think it's because Amber's on to a winner with the 'cubi concept.

Wild speculation:

Pyroduck goes back in time after the events of this arc, and meets Abel in his past.

Hence Abel's shock at seeing him here/now, and Pyroduck is puzzled at Abel's reaction because, for him, the meeting hasn't taken place yet...

Slight flaw in that theory, Pyroduck has a detailed enough knowledge of this time to be able to win bets, which implies he has already travelled back into the past.

We have no idea what his initial reaction to Abel was because he was facing away from us, but it sent Abel running.

I think Pyro didn't react the same way because he knew it would happen and was prepared for it.

I kind of like the 'old flame' theory myself*, but that's probably because it's one of the least nasty options.  Others include that Pyro did something vicious to Abel or his clan, or that Abel did something awful to Pyro or his family.
How that would work chronologically I can't say - Abel can't really be the aggressor since he needs 'cubi power for that and he's only just left SAIA.

**EDIT**
I don't think Abel can keep this a secret.  Dan's going to notice, or Abel is going to ask him questions or something.  With luck he might be just about to talk to the rats again, but it looks like he's going to have difficulty hiding how much Pyro spooks him.



*  But I'm not sure I believe it.  Pyro might have gotten into SAIA, but I don't think he was a student there.

I have a decidely evil theory as to how  :mowdan is going to get to the wedding. As we all know, cubi's shapeshifter abilities include the ability to shift gender. And since Dan is so adamant about going to save Alexsi, he may be willing to endure such a humiliating disguise to achieve this goal. What if, to help Dan out (or to just get rid of him for a while), Abel teaches Dan this trick, and off to Twink territiories heads the semi-new character Danielle.  :mwaha

.. Pyroduck looks abit confused at it all
He's looking at Wildy.  My guess is that she didn't ask him first.  On the other hand, he doesn't seem too concerned that his GF has been been dragged into a forced marriage.  Why should be be surprised at all, though, if he knows the future?

Normally I'd agree, except that this is Lost Lake - it will have many patrons of various races, and besides, it's jointly owned by a succubus and an Adventurer.
Abel seems to have got over that particular fear, at least during the trip into town.  No, I'd say it's something specific to Pyroduck.

Well, Pyro is quite the... enigma. Very little is really known about him according to his profile...

I'd go with the theory that he's one of the alternate species - Angel, Demon, whathaveyou. He may well be a fairly average looking Mythos too...

Only time will tell. D:

Well as for his species

Would it be stereo typing to look at his wings and tail and rule out an Angel?

angels generaly have feather based wings acording to Demo101  and demons Bat wings

Also
QuoteMost demons have lightning fast reflexes and the ability to turn their skin razor sharp and diamond hard

QuotePyroduck's tail is quite sharp when he wants it to be.


And I don't think the tail ring is nessisarly some sort of patch simply because it never comes off.  It could be a keep sake , a treasured heirloom, or a temporal displacment device that allows him to remain in the time instead of dragging him back where he belongs by the scruff of his neck.

Well until Amber let us in on Pyroduck backstory. We will have to wait and see what develops. Lately I seen Amber put together this strip in a way that we go *ohhhhhhhhh*. But for now lets throw wild speculation up in the air. Here's on Pyroduck is not an angel or devil but a Amway salesman :erk :erk

..and all of them, Angel, Demon and 'Cubi are able to do the skin-sharpening.  With 'cubi it usually seems to be their tentacles which they harden, but it's the same idea I think.

QuotePyroduck's tail is quite sharp when he wants it to be
..which suggests he's one of the above three, or possibly a Mythos - but they are generally more exotic.

QuoteAnd I don't think the tail ring is necessarily some sort of patch simply because it never comes off.  It could be a keepsake, a treasured heirloom, or a temporal displacement device that allows him to remain in the time instead of dragging him back where he belongs by the scruff of his neck.

True, I hadn't thought of it as part of the time-travel system.  OTOH, if it's not disguising him then he doesn't match any of the other demonic races - no horns, wrong wings for Angel.
That would seem to make him a 'cubi, which as others point out would be a bit of a let-down for all the controversy he's caused.

I didn't notice angels coud do that two

Still the wings don't fit angel so I'd say that leaves them effectivly off the list

so it's down to cubi and demon,  In the pyroduck write up it doesn't mention tenticals but that doesn't mean much.

how ever just cause you can't see horns desn't mean they arn't there, and they might not need magic to disguise them

they could be small ones like sue deers, or zatch bells and are naturaly hidden by hair,  or he could file the down on his own for astetic reasons

I think he may have been lumped in with the mythos, since he doesn't have headwings, and was introduced before Amber probably even started on mapping out the different races.

I have a feeling that Amber or one of her inner circle said there was supposed to be a were among the people we've met.  I can't remember who said that now, and it's damn near impossible to search for since 'were' is also plural of 'was'.

I do remember that Merlitz was one candidate, though.

Pyroduck goes back in time after the events of this arc, and meets Abel in his past.

Hence Abel's shock at seeing him here/now, and Pyroduck is puzzled at Abel's reaction because, for him, the meeting hasn't taken place yet...

Slight flaw in that theory, Pyroduck has a detailed enough knowledge of this time to be able to win bets, which implies he has already travelled back into the past.

That's not exactly a flaw -- people can generally time travel more than once. After this trip, his next vacation or whatever might be in Abel's childhood...

Or maybe he'll go back from here to farther in the past to see why Abel was so spooked to see him, inadventantly making such a bad impression on the younger Abel that he's spooked when he sees him in the present.

wow i spend a few hours cleain house and you all take off. well done with the speculation. personly i prefer to be a non cubi travlein thon i have thoug about startin a rp with a youn (10 ore youer) cubi charcer to find out what growing up as one is like. as for ables reaction to pyroduck? that really makes me wonder.
has he met pyroduck before?
was the paper that pyroduck is workin for for a SAIA teacher?
why did i see only one dragon in that enter story line?.
it also makes when we'll see Jyrras's second  child... i never got a name for that one.

If Wildy left Dan behind, he'll just lock up Lost lake and make his own team with Abel and maybe Jyrras. He's an adventurer for hire after all.

As for Pyroduck, look at the mythos description and it's soooo wide, he could fit. He's so much of a specie mixed up he'll fit.

But he still could be a demon with horns hidden. Still could be a cubi too. There's only three cubis, it's not that bad. And there's still were and undeads and mermaids and...

But like so many already said, it's Amber who gets the final word, isn't it ?

My guess is, Wildy's planning to go in delicately, using stealth and deception. Dan proved how good he is at subterfuge the last time he snuck in to see Biggs.

Besides, both Mab and Pyroduck are natural twinks.

It does in most cases.

Oh, wait, I forgot you need to have an extremely low IQ and a serious case of stupiditus. :U

Pyro/Mab may well have the power, and certainly the brains to use it responsibly and correctly. ;)

Personnally I think Wildy wants to get the spotlight. And bringing Dan would mean to share it because they're both attention mongers.

Wildy and stealth ? The one who throws battleaxes when surprised ? Yeah, right...

But there's also one odd yet still possible option: She cares for Dan and she's afraid for him.

I got it!

Pyroduck is the monster that attacked the outpost!

AND he's poaching Dan's feathers!

*gasp!*

...


...


...


*GASP!*


Oh, and what exactly happened on the main comic site?

No Pyroduck, traveled back in time so that Dan was no longer an orphan by age six....as evidenced by the fact that Destina was Alive later in the continuim when Dan actually was in twink teratories...although an evil being from an alternate universe (not unlike our own) sent Mab a list WebComic Cliche' s  which resulted in Dan's immediate death which lead to a temporal parodox which attempted to  make Merl an Pyro both Gayfers, and made Jyrras the illegitmate father to several Heirs sired by Lorenda and Wildy herself. So Pyro duck once again traveled back in time to put right what once went  wrong.... unfortunately something did go wrong and the technology that was used to send him back in time stranded him there... and since we have already established Pyro was a creature If not a Cubi  (which I know he is or was at one point) he would have no problem taking the long way back through history.   This is pure speculation on my part and  also asumes that he encountered Abel or his father before the current timeline(s).

Pyroduck is a ... duck!  A duck on fire! Obvious, isn't it?  The tail ring is a patch making him look less fiery and ducky.

No wait, that wasn't what I was going to post.  Sorry, let me start over.

Pyroduck is a clone of an older time-travelling Pyroduck.  A speices all of his own. :mowdizzy

I don't follow.  A detailed knowledge useful for placing bets would imply having been present in the recent future, or a far future where such information had been recorded and was publically available.  His presence in the far past at some point may or may not be fact, but the only way to find out would be a point blank statement by Amber, a character revealing this to be so in the comic, or by his revealing knowledge that can only have been available to someone from that timeframe which would never have been available to anyone thereafter.  Since we couldn't be party to such information ourselves, only the statement from Amber or in character explicit revelation can definetly answer this question.

He has a nice LONG pony tail though... I like the green and the feather is a nice touch, reminds me of one of my favorite past elven characters.  I miss the old days... I miss Ducky too *sigh*  I really must try to be on Furc more...

I like Ducky's outfit colors, I find it pleasing with his clothes.  I love the way Amber does her facial expressions.

and there is the the ridiculous theory that Pyroduck and Dan are actually one and the same creature who traveled back in time. (I wonder who thought up that one...oh wait it was me.)

in which case Abel would recognise Dan's Aura or whatever this leaving him in a state of shock.

There's probably some specific reason Dan can't go. Mebbe Biggs would remember him too well.

Then again, it's Wildy. She could just be trying to be evil.

Hiya all :)

lol first post so yay! XD

To this topic about Abel and Pyroduck, for me Pyroduck is reminding to devin ( Abels story, the blue figure ) Now if he wearing a patch that alters his outlook it can be possible. Jyras also used patch before to look like an incubi, but few things wasn't changed by the patch, for example the eye color.

The two figure for me have some why preaty much familiarity, and to think about the Abels story, that can be a way that they know each other since then.

On the path of this heory, something had to happen with Devin a) become a monster / cubi b) he's an time traveler as i readed back in this topic, or both.

This would be an interesting twist in the story, we would get know more about Pyroducks, and also Abels story.

It will come in due time with Amber doing the story of Wildly and Mabs and Pyroduck going to the land of Twinks. Maybe Pyroduck origins will surface on the adventure towards Twinks land. Let's wait and see right now who wants Waffles?????????? :mowcookie
