Damn, I could be gay for Magically Disguised Dan. ;)
*edit- corrected date in title- Dam*
Well since you posted first this is the official thread.
Dan probably has an enhanced tolerance from pain from being an Adventurer.
The odd part is, judging by Abel's comments, he's seen quite a few guys in Dan's situation (i.e. gender swappin'). How many situations could arise in which such a thing would be carried out?
... wait, don't answer that.
lol still he has a point. family is not attractive. i think that he may be be picking up Alexi's temper as well as her look. poor Abel i hope Dan got some control to go with the temper.
I can imagine Dan saying to Abel, "Look at my butt.." Then Abel replying "Ok... cool." It matches what everyone already thinks about Dan and Abel anyway. ;)
Considering how Dan feeds off pain, he probably had a joygasm during the transformation. >.>
did you just may and illusion to the does this make me look fat joke?
Reminds me of the Bob and George comic, in which a male character asks the female character who he had swapped bodies with:
"So, does this mean we've 'done it'?
Death ensued, if I remember correctly....
He still has to get to used to them. I can see him knocking everything over. xD
I'm surprised. I expected Amber to do a quick plot-shift and leave us hanging until comic #700 for Dan in a dress.
however... he is.. um...
well, he looks good in a dress, surprisingly...
and um.. dear me, IS THAT A SPACEBALLS JOKE IN THE FINAL PANEL????
I'm sure Dan is going to be scarred for life- literally so if Alexsi finds out about it :3
Hmm, I just happened to think, "How does Abel know Alexi's body so well?" :erk
I'd expected more pain. But pain is not good. Unless you're inflicting it on your enemies. :rolleyes
The resemblance is striking, but not perfect. :P
Also; 10/16/06.
Well who says all magic is perfect?
:kruger the pain will haunt dan's nightmares as he dreams of "being" with pyroduck
Dan wakes up in a cold sweat and screams ....and he is once again Alexi "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Hmm... I wonder then... Would Dan have Alexi's voice now?

Somehow, Alexsi will find out about the last panel's comment, and somehow, Abel will die. xD
Random question: If a pregnant girl got total gender-swap, what happens to the kid? Does it just magically reappear when she gets the transformation reversed, or does it disappear forever? Or does it stay inside her male self, wherever that would be...?
How about we just not think about it. ;)
When the babies start to disappear, then you'll be sorry! :P

And the eye comment is definately foreshadowing to future panels. The eye comment also needs some eye shadow as well, and some masceara...

Most "enchant" based gander swaps I've seen/heard of have a save throw (or "chance to fail") if the subject is pregnant, if you fail that fetus dies while the subject is transformed.
In the webcomic El Goonish Shive, Ted's Transform Gun (a multi-purposem object-oriented, fully programable, "what would you like to be today" device) will not work on pregnant beings. It has various interlocks to prevent the transformation from inadvertently killing the subject(s), and initially was designed to aid in the rescue of a society losing it's ability to reproduce, killing fetuses would be counter-productive.
In a Ranma fanfic I once read (actually, a fanfic spawned by the fanfic "The Virus" where the aquatrans effect was accidentally spread world-wide by a mutated, non-fatal virus,) there were some fatalities as it afflicted pregnant women.
Really depends on the author, though it seems intelligently designed methods tend to have safeties.
... messy subject.
Anyway. Back to the comic. I'm trying to figure out why that dress isn't falling off.
Did I mention Dan has a nice ass too? O.o;
*curls into the fetal position and cries*
This is that Dan having a period talk that DM told about all over again, isn't it?
*rocks back and forth gently*
I donno... maybe Dan would keep his voice. I would think that Abel could do something about that. Or Dan could act it out. He did still get mistaken for a girl even though he was speaking normally a few times before.... :p

don't worry. Amber stated that she will never do a period joke.
I for one, am glad she's making that stand. Some jokes just do pass the line of being funny.
Also, Abel seems freaked when Dan is angry as Lexi. Bad memories! :mowhappy
Jeez, this topic went down the path to frightening before I even got here.
Aww, we didn't get to see the pain :<
it's good to skip the physical pain some times then it's strait to the psychological kind
*pfff* Hahahahah! "the anti-hotness". Man, that's funny. Reminds me of when my boyfriend was cross-dressing as me for our school's Cross Dress day, and he's borrowed one of my bras for the "authentic look". He kept poking at his new cleavage and saying, "I can see why you have a love/hate relationship with these things now..." Whoo, it was funny.
Anywho, amusing strip, as always. Can't wait to see what's in store for poor Dan this week...

Indeed.
Especially if Dan gets stuck like this and Pyro comes up from behind for a hug thinking it's Lexi.
Imaging Dan learning about them that way!

Abel changed Dan to have the appearance of Alexsi. Since this a complete change (except for the eyes) and not just a disguise, that means Dan sounds like Alexsi. Ergo, Alexsi's voice artist must do the voice.
Quote from: James StarRunner on October 16, 2006, 01:15:16 AM
I wonder what Pyro will think...
I was just thinking that...
Actually, I was thinking "what will happen if Pyroduck, who may not completely realize that Dan will be looking like his sister, hits on Dan or otehrwise condicts himself in an intimate manner. (not, not THAT kind of intimate, get your minds out of my gutter :P ) Though it would be funny if, Pyroduck were to have the question posed to him, unknowing that 'Alexsi' is really Dan, "Does this dress make my butt look big?"
Also, I first looked at that and thought 'he doesn't look like Alexsi, that can't be right. Then I went back and looked at the recent images of her. Yeah, they look the same, but Dan's hair style is still his normal one, though the color is different, and that is different from what Alexsi's hairstyle is like.
So if Alexsi returns, atleast we should have a clue who is who so long as neither of them gets thier hair styled.
If it's a total physical change, the voicebox ought to change as well, thus resulting in Alexsi's voice with Dan's speaking habits.
Anyway, Abel's comment about most guys who are transformed into girls reminded me of so many comics in which that happened.... and the victims almost immediately started playing with their chest. xD
The comic reminds me of the time, back when I went to school, when my friends asked me if my sister was hot :rolleyes
that is three kinds of wrong. "dude she's not hot she's my sister!" that would probably be followed up with a threat to their well fair if they attempt to come too close to her.
I'm thinking there's many little hilarious acts in the future.
You know, where a guys mannerisms just look plain WRONG on a woman wearing a dress, like sitting on a chair with your legs spread... belching... etc.

True, that. Which is generally why I suggest the voice project should get Alexsi's actor to do Danielle's lines; but yes, moving on.
Plot device and a reference in the first panel. Brilliant.
Finally, Taross: He has just the right amount of PMS, though.
Its quite easy for most when your sister is just a few years older

Actually, the hair style is remarkably similar. In my opinion. Which may or may not be right. :B I don't really care that much, or really notice much, about hair styles and other physical aspects.

:mowdan
Ink are you saying that Dan is naturally girly?
Dan possess effeminate characteristics, that can not be denied.
Now we need Alexi being turned into Dan, then showing the siblings each other. Then some amnesia dust and let the crack flow like a waterfall.
...Nevermind. I retract my previous statement. it appears that Dan usually has his hair in a pony-tail. :mowsad stupid me. I was just going off one of the later ones where he's getting ready to change. In which his hair isn't in a ponytail.

Because they think your sister's hot, unfortunately.
Thinking your own sister is hot is a bad idea D:
Anyway, I figure if Dan's outsides can be shaped and changed, his vocal chorfds can be changed too.

I suspected that since day one of his transformation....I hope no confusion goes around specially Pyro
But Pyro already knows the real one is gone >.>
Pyro won't be confused in that manner, because he knows about the plan. I'm thinking he'd be more confused by, and therefore need therapy due to, things not completely controlled by one's conscious mind. The simple aspect of thinking Danielle is hot comes to mind.
One of the key reason people don't fancy their brothers or sisters is that they grew up around them. There have been several cases of brothers and sister who have grown up apart and them met in later life and been sexually attracted, can anyone think of a famous fictions example?
Still the whole idea would make a lot of people wince I bet, the whole 'not getting attracted to close relatives' is practically genetically encoded.
Yeah, it was my plan to switch voices for the transformation. If we can have both James and his sister going "Aaaaaaaaaah!" during the spell, I can try some cross-fading and digital transformation techniques for the change.
Does this mean that Dan is now gay for Matilda? :<

There are at least two possibilities that don't end in the application of brainsoap.
1) Abel just changed Dan into a generic female form and then did some fine-tuning.
2) Abel just provided the catalyst and let Dan's knowledge of his sister do the steering since Dan knows what his sister is supposed to look in various dresses, including this one.
Other than that, I love seeing Alexsi with Dan's manners. And Abel's last comment cracked me up. "Your sister is ugly when you're angry!" xD

Never!
Alexsi is never ugly!
Not even when she's angry! Scary, yes, but never ugly.
No, wait...
Abel said "Your sister is ugly when you're angry".
Interesting phrasing.
Does it mean that Dan is ugly when he's angry while looking like Alexsi? Then maybe Abel didn't mean Alexsi herself.
It beats the other interpretation, that whenever Dan gets angry, Alexsi is looking ugly. That would have resulted in a lot of irritations at Lost Lake while Dan was away at SAIA. :)
BTW, love Abel's expression in the middle panel!

*Raises hand*
I've watched all the anime and own every American released manga volume (with the final one coming out really soon).
Gah! Dan has no right to be attractive! Damn you Abel! :U
In other news, Abel has a point in that last panel. Dan's yelling mouth takes up half of his/her face!
Dan *wolf whistle* damn baby you are so hot. Anywho I think it will be hillarious if Dan in Alexsi body doing those male things I'm giggling just thinking about it. If Pyro mistake Dan for Alexsi you will see Pyro flying across two rooms :kruger................
And lo, the hotness has come to pass, and Abel hath hit on the Danielle. But the Danielle hath grown enraged and smoten the incubus, who fled to the unknown land of the stairwell.
:blink
Okay, back to normal now. And about Abel's comments on what most tg'd men would do, I know I would.
I think I'd panic if I was transformed into my sister. Last time I saw her she was indeed anti-hot.
* shudders at the mental image * :c
And to all those nay-sayers who said that Abel wasn't good enough a mage to pull it off.. :raspberry
I want to contribute to this thread but I can't think of anything to actually say about the comic! *flails*
Cept if everything else is working fine, why is Dan so afraid of Able messing with his eyes....
Besides, you know, it's able. I wouldn't want him anywear near my eyes either.

But he could be near anything else and I wouldn't mind. :U

Abel hasn't cast anything to change Dan's body. All he's done is cast a mirage spell on Dan, so Dan see's himself as Alexsi.

Point. However, bear in mind Abel doesn't know who Wildy is, viz-a-viz this (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_660.php) and while he's seen her here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_677.php), nobody has introduced them, and seeing as he ran away here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_680.php), it wouldn't surprise me to discover that he doesn't know Wildy is lurking about... And I wasn't thinking him finding Wildy specifically, but more sort of generally "anyone in the bar"...
don't forget here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_597.php) though able was in quit the mood at the time

Simple. That *Bamf!* will restore Dan's individual traits such as his brown hair and wings, while leaving him completely female. At least, that's what I'm hoping/suspecting from Amber's input to previous topics. All in favor, post Aye!

'ey now, 'ey now.
I act waay too much like a guy. Even if I'm wearing a dress.
Not so much the leg-spread on chair bit if the skirt's any shorter than my knees. but I usually wear pants so is doesn't matter. I also shouldn't be used as a comparison to most women.
so I'll shut up now.
With girls growing up in jeans and sneakers a lot of girls don't know the "girly" movements. I work at a college and at the end of every year it is REALLY obvious which girls are wearing skirts and heels for the first time to go to job interviews. At least Dan has practiced wearing heels so he won't have the dreaded "sneaker stomp" that gives us the giggles every year.
Being evil I particularly enjoy the "sneaker stomp" in a bride all dressed up for her wedding.
The first time I wore flip flops was hard to manage, I can only imagine the dificulty of wearing high heels. Danielle however seems to have an intimate knowledge of wearing high heels.
Its for training!
I don't really wear skirts, dresses, or heels too much, but it always feels natural when I do wear them. I love my heels. *hugs them* I don't understand why people say they're hard to run in...
I guess I can understand if you've NEVER worn heels or a dress before and then you just kinda wear one one day... XD That's something I would catch on video and show it to them later in life.
But that's not a problem for Dan/Danielle, is it? Having "trained" in heels before and worn dresses on several occasions. X3 Oh! New emoticon! :ipod
I wore dress and high heels before...My feet hurted
Was there ever an explanation to what, exactly, Dan was training for with said high heels?
Balance. :P
Balance is the key to keep him upright!
Quote from: Hilary on October 16, 2006, 12:01:45 AMRandom question: If a pregnant girl got total gender-swap, what happens to the kid? Does it just magically reappear when she gets the transformation reversed, or does it disappear forever? Or does it stay inside her male self, wherever that would be...?
Having a total gender-swap, even magical, has many processes similar to how our society handles a sex-change. Granted in the magical case its a lot more extreme, but same basic rules apply. A creature or being would go through counseling and talk with doctors for a few months beforehand to make sure they are psychologically prepared for such a thing. Before the actual spell and swap there would be some major medical tests to make sure the patient is in a proper physical state. If a pregnancy was discovered to be taking place, the procedure would be put on hold.
Having a total gender transformation is serious business and is already a very risky spell to begin with. It isn't a "oh look I'm suddenly a dude now! Lol!" type of spell. Trying to do it with such a complicating factor upsets an already delicate balance and cause the death of both patient and unborn fetus. (and even a risk of killing the spellcaster) No sane or legitimate practictioner of such an art would take such a risk.
It should be noted that those who undergo such a treatment are screened because the magics used require practically a full genetic flip-flop. It's a long process, complex, and dangerous. There is a 25% mortality rate on the normal rate. Attempting to reverse or "change someone back" jumps that mortality rate up to 95%.
So to answer the question, there has been no case in Furrae of a pregnant girl doing a magical total gender swap and surviving the process.

Probably has, and I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain of having to think up of every concievable angle and have an argument or explanation ready to shut that down. But, like what happened in the flashback sequence when Dan called the rock into his mouth instead of his hand, some people just will simple go as far out as they can on the wacked out theories and force the author to change the comic strip in order to clarify what happened or how it happened.
I think that's unfortunant, and I wish that a lot of Amber's readers would just have some common sense, but that doesn't happen. So you get posts where everything is spelled out and all other wacked out therories have to be shut down.
I, personally, preferred the original. Which I still have, sitting in a corner here somewhere. It left the whole question up in the air for, oh, another 20 odd strips or more.
In my opinion (which doesn't matter, as it's Amber's opinion that matters, k? :-) that left a lot more room for speculation. And the speculation is what's fun, right? right? :-)

That's why I love DMFA so much.
There's one really good reason to use technology for all one's shapeshifting needs...
And she definitely thought that one through, like, a lot, otherwise she'd evade the question completely :P
*wonders what happened with the flashback sequence, decides not to even ask*
Okay that explains things and put things in perspective. Thanks Amber for the explaination I knew you have thought things out very, very carefully before you even draw that pencil line for the strip I applaud you for you taking the extra steps and time to make DMFA as it is right now A FREAKING AWESOME COMIC!!!!!!!. But I can't wait for the comedy to ensue and make all of us pee in our pants.................
The title reminds me of those recent drug PSA's
I can see dan standing at the end of a comercial, "Sisters thats my anti-hotness) though it could also be Jyrras's lline too

It should be noted that those who undergo such a treatment are screened because the magics used require practically a full genetic flip-flop. It's a long process, complex, and dangerous. There is a 25% mortality rate on the normal rate. Attempting to reverse or "change someone back" jumps that mortality rate up to 95%.
did I miss something earlier or does this mean Dan's gonna be stuck like this for a while?

I don't think Abel has done the full gig. It's more likely a part-way thing, i.e. Dan can't actually get pregnant.

Newp. We just need Wildy and Azlan, and we'd have that mortality thing sorted. :-)
I know from personal experience that walking in high heal shoes requires a balance of sorts (bet with siblings). Not to mention that sword fighting requires good balance because your shifting your weight all around with each move in order to maximize your attacking strength. Utilizing high heal shoes while practicing for combat is in a way genius (probably a first for Dan, being called a genius).
I have a few swords at home, practice and real combat, and practicing with them is an art of it's own. Some people use unique techniques in order to maximize their training. Training weights, training weapons that are heavier than their real ones, shoes that imbalance you.
Now for Dan and the "anti-hotness."
Getting asked if your sister is attractive and asked about your sister's hotness is very uncomfortable. I would NOT be able to imagine what Dan's going through though I must admit Dan and Alexis tend to act quite similar but Alexis is more mature. Someone pisses them off and that person gets it, be it from Alex's hammer or Dan's large collection of swords (I'm jealous of Dan, he's got all those swords and I only have 7).
Alexis in all aspects is an amazon, she knows how to fight, her mom was an amazon and Alexis uses her combat skills almost every day at the bar, she doesn't need a bouncer but it helps out, 4 fist are better than 2. Alexi ad Dan both have short tempers, tough Dan's is quite shorter and more violent. Alexis is just more scary but a tad less violent.
So in all aspects Dan is the ONLY one that will be able to play Alexis while the people are there critiquing Lost Lake. Though he will have to find a hammer (a mace works fine).
Though I agree with Abel... When Dan's angry Alexis is ugly but she's also scary.
True Genderbending should be hard to do and easy to reverse, as a general rule. That Amber does think about this stuff and all the rules of her world, is a sign of what a good Artist/author she is. AS a Goddess should.

It's true about the heels for the Balance in weapons offense and defense. I read some where else in a comic I think its a Marvel title called The Punisher him his traing to be fluid and avoid to be grabbed is that he has a special room with a dummy at the end of the room but the room floor is covered with axel grease. The reasoning on the execrsise is to stay on balance and attack the dummy on the other side of the room. I saw that on the those special mags about the Punisher weapons and traing techniques. Don't mind me I'm just rambling................
Meh. The worlds best combat training simulator is still DDR. :mowdan
For all the reasons Amber gave, and more, I'm pretty well convinced that Dan simply got a bewb job, hair style change, a facial mass adjustment, and a mid-body mass adjustment to pull off the Alexi look.
I'll bet that genetically and physically (you know what I mean :rolleyes) he's still Dan. Abel probably just had to "manually" shapeshift a few parts of Dan's body since Dan couldn't do it on his own.
The full genetic option wouldn't be worth it for this, since nobody's going to see more of Dan then they are right now during the tour, and it is meant to be temporary. Doing a full swap would be dangerous as Amber has said, and pointless for this scenerio.
So Dan's still all man, just had his body reshaped a bit by Abel's magic skills. Abel didn't have to have the skills to pull off a full gender swap spell. He just has to have the skills to alter body features, which in 300 years of training, I would think he could have.
Of course.... I could very well have just said what a lot of us were thinking or alluding to over the last few pages.....
I'll go now :D :mowcookie
In short terms...Dan is fudged for now and soon he might feel worse if others find out
Yeah, that sounds about right :laugh

Right, because it certainly doesn't teach you how to dance. :lol
Abel like to boogie and get down
Anyway, I think the transformation was supposed to hurt because it wasn't Dan himself doing the changes, therefore he's doubly unprepared... For the changes, and for shapechanging in general.
Dan's transformation was in this case cosmetics and not a full one. it may take time but my guess is only a day or two.

back on topic... I agree with Grenn. Dan's probably just had a few adjustments and not a full gender change... unless Abel really is that evil :veryevil
I just had a thought.
What about poor little Jyrras? He's already got a crush on Dan, and now with Dan's gender confusion....:mwaha

... I had forgotten all about that crush... It seems that he will be the next to join the ranks of The Completely Terrified and Confused™.
Why? Dan looks like Alexi. He won't be seeing a female dan it's a woman he's known for years and has had no apparent sexual atraction for. Simply because dan now looks like her won't change that
Only if no-one figures out that it's Dan...
And, Somehow, I think that they WILL figure out that it's Dan...and the hilarity! It will ensue! :twisted

Odd, I didn't know those kinds of things were ruled by appearances. Back in my universe, those feelings would remain the same regardless of form :P
they arn't
but I'm not saying they are...
others are sayinth that this would change things with jyrras, and I can't see why...
Look if it was Dan as a female I could see it changing things but it's Dan as his sister, He's not going to be acting like himself he doesn't look like himself so juyrras isn't going to react to him normaly. He's not in on the scheme either so he's going to act like it's Alexi and maybe like it's her acting a bit weird. even when or if he does find out why would it change any thing... he's already resigned to the fact that Dan is off limits dan in a female body won't change any of that.
Jyrras probably wont notice; he hasn't been let in on the plan and as TGH mentioned, he's known Alexi for years. He'll be just as confused as to why Alexi has "Mead and Slim Jim" breath as anyone else will be.
lol that's a good point Boogey. he'll know what he expect of Alexi and what he expects of Dan but seeing the two overlap may cause him to have a seizure like when he though too hard about his new sibling on the way.
Almost has a good point with this...I still say Jyyras might pass out in shock though..And I am thinking mighty hard Dan wont get out of this alive mentaly :mwaha
He's been in these situations before. If this was all it took then he'd have been brain dead a long time ag- waitaminit...
Walking in high heeled shoes isn't terribly hard, and I only just started wearing them this past summer.
honestly, you get used to it, and I can even run in some of them. >>
Wait a second ... Abel seems to be hitting on Dan. I wonder if this is because Abel is attracted to Dan as a male or because he is in denial and the near-gender change has allowed him to reconcile these feelings. Of course, there's always the third option that I'm just imagining things. Oh well...
EDIT:
Man, it's quiet on this board at night. :tumbleweed
not really everyone is probably looking at the new comic now in which able threats to literally start hitting on Dan if he doesn't stop comparing him to Merlitz.
Haha, hit on... I never thought of that. xD
Dan: "Why Abel, are you...ow!... hitting on me?"
Abel: ....... *SUPER CUBI SMASH*
It would be such a great joke for Dan to use if it didn't result in magnifying his pummeling. ;)
Now Abel is Hitting on Danielle man Abel Is one confused Cubi if I tell you. But why Abel dosen't want to be Merlitz hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think the Cubi has feelings for Merlitz and to shapeshift to him will hurt emotionaly that's what I think............
er... no? We already know he doesn't seem to like people who try to be or act like someone they aren't.
But the Cubi way is to shapeshift I know in Abel case he's brutally honest and shapeshifting is dishonest. If Danielle explains to Abel about the situation calmly er. *wait* this is Dan here total threating of abuse if Abel is not turned to Merlitz...................
invert it a few more times and it'll make sense. Abel must become merlitz. if Abel does not that Dan was changed in vain if Dan goes though all this trouble then only Dan's vow will stop him form picking a fight with Abel hense hostilities build.
Abel needs convincing, and by convincing, I mean, he needs an aluminum bat to the head. or possibly a high heel shoe if one of those aren't around.
Wait Dan have Several High heel shoe's to throw at Abel's head *duck* :ipod
ShiningShadow, I know you love responding to everyone, but could you do me a little favour?
Could you slow down your posting just enough to ensure that your posts are coherent? At this stage, I'm basically ignoring everything you type because it's not worth my effort to try and decipher the content and figure out what you meant. And I'd hate to miss out on something worthwhile due to that.
That'd be appreciated, thanks.
*Charline smirks* Ha! You're all wayyyy off!

but... Dan isn't a girl. he only looks like one.
There's only one way to find out! *rolls up sleeves*
On the outside Dan is a girl thanks to that powerful spell from Abel. But what makes Daniella a girl inside and out. I think the spell is for that reason to be a girl totally inside and out...............
Shadow, I know English isn't your first language, but can't you explain your posts a little better than that? It's getting to be really difficult to read yours to the point that I may just flat-out skip them.

My dear lady, when first I read your "mostly ebil" description I was doubtful.

I wonder though; if Dan were to become a Danielle, how would she look?
Quote from: Stygian on October 19, 2006, 02:46:48 PM
I wonder though; if Dan were to become a Danielle, how would she look?
... with her eyes, same as anyone else?
I was more thinking along the lines of "Would she have blue fur like her mother, pray tell? Would she be significantly shorter? What would be her cup size? Would she develop some habit or odd behaviour? Anything?".
Would she still be a 'friend of beerwenches'?! :dface
That is an interesting question... because right now he's been specifically "molded" to look like his sister. What would he look like under other circumstances?
And someone keep Stygian away from Charline!
Oh? So I am a threat now? Is that to Charline's persona... or yours? Please. Tell me. *ominous gaze*
*...*
*breaks into laughter*
lol it's hard to image anyone being a threat top Charline. still i wonder what would Dan do if he woke up female? especially Being of the Cyan clan
Shocking E...How would you feel waking up with boobs
*Charline chuckles at Stygian* My dear, you have no idea. I'm actually forced to behave myself here! I believe the wicked Dr. Ink knows a bit more of my truly heinous acts of evil. :bat
But I think Dan would get used to being a female. After all, Amazons are actually more likely to have the hots for other females, if we go strictly by the legend! *imagines Dan trying to reconcile his joy at scoring with an Amazon, to his horror that he scored while being female* Tee hee! >:3
that Charline would be something to write books about. wow if i had the background i could make money form analyzing the pain and complications that come for that situation.
and zedd. been there done that no big deal to me. but then i'm not normal.
Hmm... do tell, sweets. But don't get cocky. There are always more evil people out there. And often, evil is either a moot point or just a point of view... And as for me, I beleive it should never be a philosophy. You simply have your own ideals and morals, and in the end they are evil or not. Though in the end, many things can surprisingly be evil, despite the good things they are put out to be. Things like humanity, for example.
One could argue that being male is also overrated, or not what you think it may be. I think that if he spent enough time changed, Dan would agree.
Popular quote actually, that if one were a woman, one would stay home and play with one's breasts all day. I think that would be the case for me as well, for at least a week or so. Then I'd probably have a nervous breakdown. And then play with them a bit more.
*Charline smirks* Oh, humanity is evil at its core. I've always known that. Humans like to forget that they too are animals, and that their brains have not yet gotten rid of that annoying little primitive instinctual center called the amygdala.
But I know with Dan I think he will use the look of a woman to his advantage. But there are disadvantages of being a woman imagine all the guys at Furae hitting on Danielle man you need alot of swords to fend them off.
What advantages would that be, seriously? The only thing I can think of is Dan getting free drinks. But then, he lives under a tavern with his sister as the barkeep, so he probably gets almost as much beer as he wants.
Hmm. Interesting. I also beleive that it is the human way of forgetting that humans are emotional, instinctually guided beings that leads to as many greater evils as smaller. We ignore the fact that emotions and mathematically baseless rules inhibit our ability to think logically and pragmatically, and essentially turns us all into fools.
And whatever you think, there are no direct advantages to being a woman. I am sad to say so, but there simply isn't, however you look at it. Not unless you count a slightly longer lifespan, and aesthetics. But I don't have any real use of either.
In Dan's case though, the advantages would depend upon the patrons themselves, no?
Sides theres never a dull moment when Dans around :)
i find it hard to believe that Dan would enjoy playing around in his sister's body. also Stygian you remind me of the lyrics
she's so cold and human it's something humans do she stays so golden solo she's so number nine she's incredible math just incredible math and is she really human? she's just so something new a waking lithium flower just about to bloom I smell lithium now smelling lithium now
i'm not sure the suit Dan but the do suit what you were saying about humanity nature and the dichotomy on being human. both cold logic and hot passion emotion. humans will be even more evil attempting to stick to logic and denying their emotions then by trying balance it out. humans some times reject humanity in an attempt to find themselves.
This is true, from our *Or at least my* point of view Lex would be pretty, but from Dan's it would be all... *Shudder*
Okay, that sounds interesting. But I do not know the origins of that somg. What is it?

Well, I don't see how it could be the nightmare of Dan's life. Frankly, being pressured and threatened by that egotistical Fa'Lina and not being able to do anything about it since he is all but powerless before her should have been the nightmare of his life.

Quite. The analysis which Shakal has done in the 'Violence' thread it quite similar to one I did for Dan in #539:

And in case The Nice do delete the forum instead of locking it:
Quote
[Why is Dan so calm when Abel appears to be propositioning him?]
I think he's just emotionally shattered. Remember, within the last twelve hours, Dan has:
* Been kidnapped by Fa'Lina
* Been left alone in an unknown, magically-protected location with no hope of rescue or escape
* Been roughed up by Abel
* Had one of his most prized possessions mutilated (this alone caused him to collapse)
* Been practically tested to destruction by Dr. Ink
* Discovered that his natural calling is to hunt down and slay adventurers such as Merlitz, Azlan, his own father and of course himself..
.. all with just a brief hour of catatonia to help him adjust to it. I'm surprised he hasn't gone like Jouster already.
..so all in all, SAIA probably was one of his worst nightmares.

well to be fair i never said it was the nightmare of his life but that it was a nightmare in it's own right.
It's a total nightmare since his powers had surfaced. I think Dan is trying to deny these powers but it's very overwhelming. Sooner or later he has to accept his powers and used them to his advantage remember Dan is extremely intelligent and will use any resources to his advantage. Hence the high heeled shoes etc. As I see it Dan is playing along very well. But as I see it he is trying to take advantage of a situation and conquer it.
he is a T'filione and he will succeed. he may not like it but he will. after all he beat bat death knights with a spork. a spork i tell you.
Yep the mighty spork from Dan. He will do this and he will make his powers 1,000 fold more powerful than any Cubi especially Falina imagine Dan the most powerful Cubi ever walked on this world. *shudders* thinking about it give me goosebumps.
And yet still, Wildy will be able to glomp him... Stygian does a VERY credible sarcastic tone and face.
That is why I have spent YEARS building my integrity, assuring myself of complete dignitary invulnerability. Anything that happens, happens with my consent. And whenever I may not be able to handle things (not neccessarily control them, mind you...), I distance myself. I think that in order to at least become respected and to earn the power at your disposal, you must learn to do this kind of thing. Dan must learn it.
I agree I think these powers will save Dan's life many times over. Dan will be very powerful and the Cubi race will look at him twice before dealing with Dan.
