Well, at least it is a Lexi-appropriate response :)
Give or take.... though I doubt the real Lexi would really be upset about Jy-Jy falling for Abel. :p
Edit: Title change! Thought Jy-Jy said "Yerg" at first :)
He does fall for anyone who actually does something for him. He's a little clingy like that, but too much of an introvert to show it.
And it's another Dan shoulder grab!
I've lost count. Not that I was really counting to begin with.
Well well here we go again
So... does this mean that Jyrras really is falling for Abel? Please say it is so! :kirby
Woo! This is the catastrophe I've been waiting for! Now, the next thing that happens is that the adventurers come through the door, just after Danlexi finishes some sort of rant and failed attempt at cover-up.
Yeah, this reaction is totally reasonable for Dan. I'm not sure how reasonable it is for Alexsi, though. (almost wrote Alexsim, I'll have to remember that one)
I wonder how Dan will explain that reaction?
Hmm. Speculation? I predict that in a few minutes, we'll get the standard ``because Dan wants Abel all to himself'' responses.
Not good or bad, just a force of nature. Like earthquakes or Jerry Bruckheimer films.
P.S. What's wrong with Abel? I mean, for Dan, it's pretty obvious--he's trying to make Dan do things that he doesn't want to do. Not racism, but rather like trying to stay away from that one friend who always wants to go egg police cars or something.
But for everybody else, he doesn't seem any worse than Brent Sienna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PvP).
Ho...ly...crap.
I just read the last couple of updates before this one, as I hadn't read them before. And I swear someone should have seen this whole thing coming.
Poor Jy... :rolleyes
Make up yer frikkin' mind! :U
He must've been talking that way around abel to mask his feelings, then...
and thus fell the straw the laid the adventurer flat.

I didn't explicitly predict him mentioning Abel, specifically, but I did see him mentioning a few other of his romantic entanglements.
I think when someone blindsides you with a baseball bat, no matter who they are, you can never really forgive them.
i have but then again i was pulled off of the person for nearly beating them into a coma immediately afterwards
Maybe this entire fiasco will cause Jy to grow up a little and get a little confidence when all is said and done...
Or maybe he'll be left in the corner huddling in a fetal position. :/
More speculation!
Jyrras tells Dan-as-Dan. Abel finds out that Dan knows. Abel offers to remove the mind shield (convenient explanation that mind shields interfere with mental acuity may follow).
Jyrras: Uh, maybe I'll just keep it for a little while longer...
Abel: Why?
Dan: Uh, I gotta go with Jyrras on this one.
[Abel notices Dan's yeeg (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_689.php) expression]
[Abel reads Dan's non-shielded mind]
Abel: Aw, Hells no!
:U Eeeeeeer Jy-Jy is insane
and I want cookies
Also I still want cookies.
I think Jyrras is just really confused and has no Idea what he really wants.
After a few years he will figure out who and what he wants and how.
This keeps getting better and better... :eager Though I'm kinda sad we're missing on on Wildy using Biggs as a punching bag :<

Yanno this is like watching a train wreck. As much as you try to you just can't stop looking.
For some reason I'm starting to think that Jy-jy's brain might make a minor connection and possiably blurt something out in the next comic.
That action Dan is doing is purely Dan and if I know DMFA it's an only Dan reaction.
Oh come on, we all -know- Abel already knows. In fact, this was referenced a good while ago, when Abel was putting another mind shield on Jyrras, just before the life is wonderful storyline. Abel says something about not wanting to know about the latest poor sap that Jyrras has developed a crush on... I figured from that alone (and the heart and blush of Jyrras, as well as his actions) that he liked Abel. So, really, this is just an owning for Dan.
i agree that Jy-Jy will probably wind up in the fetal position at the end of this but after that who knows.

As funny that may be to see I doubt Jyrras would end up like that. The life crisis he's in isn't as bad as a few other things he's faced...
Lets not forget he faced down Kira, tried to chew her knee caps off, and at the same time had a visit from his family and siblings. That alone, thread of death, threat of complete embarassment infront of your family and friends would send a few to the fetal position buy Jyrras just got a mild headake.
as much as i love that arc i have to point out that at the time of his gnawing Kira's ankles he had a lot of pent up hostility and she had just released a death grip on his neck. i need to reread the arc it being on of my favorites as well.
Of course Abel knows I mean look back at this comic (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/boybnny2/Vol648.jpg)

:lol That's great!
But it wasn't a good edit >.>
It was good enough. :P
You! Honked! My! Nose!

:mwaha Finally somebody snaps. Thank you Amber, didn't expect Dan to react like that.
I want to see Abel's reaction. He might not know, remember the mindshield appeared before the little heart.
Must've been the 'Flufftuft' comment.
Well we will hope it be Abel
i can't say i care who he falls for at the moment. i guess i just want to see out little inventor setter down with some one he truly loves.
Heh. Poor Dan.
Jyrras probably "belongs" with Lorenda more than anyone else but by GOD him and Abel would be hot together.
As I said before Im with the JyxLor faction on this one.
*starts shaking up Jy*
Shake him any harder you'll give em brain damage :<

Are his ears even fluffier than last time?
Oh dear, I do think he may have blown it, although possibly not fatally. This is either going to take some skilled work to recover from, or if Jyrras does twig, he's going to have to convince him to keep quiet until the reporter is gone.
AFAIK Alexsi hasn't ever shown any anti-'cubi feelings, so Dan is going to have problems if he can't make up some other reason why Abel is a bad choice.
Still, at I guess this nixes the "Jyrras-was-not-talking-about-being-gay-for-Dan" theory...
I am trying to work out if this is going to become a love triangle... or more likely... love polygon. That would depend on Dan being jealous or not (if Jyraas was going to have feelings for another man, Dan's ego would probably want it to be him).
at least it wasn't about pyroduck

Alexsi hasn't shown any anti-`cubi feelings, but she doesn't seem fond of him, either (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_712.php). I think it's pretty safe to say that she thinks he's bad news.

Yes, I'd forgotten that line, although I think 'bad news' might be a little strong. She has given him lodgings after all, apparently for free. I'm still wondering whether Abel is going to be Merlitz' replacement as bouncer as a way of earning his keep.
It seems to me that Dan's experiences and expectations with regard to 'cubi seem to mostly centre around adventuring and their sinister aspects, while Alexsi's main experiences have been good times with her stepmother. That's just a guess though - we still don't know how old Dan was when Destania left, but it feels right given that Alexsi seems to be a lot more clued-in about 'cubi than Dan.
Quote from: Tapewolf on December 13, 2006, 04:54:34 AMYes, I'd forgotten that line, although I think 'bad news' might be a little strong.
Well, I certainly think that it's a plausible reaction. I've never been able to figure out the idiomatic connotations of the term `mook,' but I suspect that she sees him as sort of a mercenary and probably not dependable for a stable, long-term relationship.
Funny thing is, for everything that I try to use against Abel, I try to write ``...unlike Dan,'' but aside from the example above, I can't come up with anything.
Quote from: Tapewolf on December 13, 2006, 04:54:34 AMI'm still wondering whether Abel is going to be Merlitz' replacement as bouncer as a way of earning his keep.

Possibly. We don't know how Alexsi and her mother got along when they were together. ``Time heals all wounds'' and all that. Also, Dan seems to have avoided having anything to do with `cubi in his adventures, so his knowledge of their sinister aspects is likely to be limited, as well. (As evidenced by the strip with Xandra at SAIA)

So, how pissed off is Kira going to be about this?
Right now Jy-Jy has feelings for Abel. I think he's confused at this point, i think he dosen't know who he likes I thought he likes Lorenda. I was wrong I have a feeling that Abel will say something to Jy-Jy and not like him back. Ususal Abel stuff like I'm not interested and stuff like that.

Not really. I'm trying to cross-reference ``annoying, stupid, undesirable person'' with what Alexsi says, and with the Law of Mooks (http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html).
According to Random House (http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970901), the word is quite vague. Which doesn't help, as I'm trying to glean the attributes of that word that would differentiate it from, say, `dope' or `schlemiel.'

"Law of Mooks" is emphasising stupid.
"Abel is a mook" is emphasising annoying.
I would read Alexsi as saying that Abel is generally annoying, but not enough to actually be called annoying. And he's more or less ok. Just that little bit stupid and annoying.

It will be a love-dodecaherdon by the time Amber finishes Abel's story.
Who knows what's on Jy-Jy mind but knowing Abel he could be cold at points with people in general. But sometimes he has been known to be a softie at times, especially with Jy-Jy. Maybe Jy-Jy is reading the wrong message that's what I see at this point.

I'm waiting for a love-Klein bottle.
Klein bottle for sale - enquire within.
Moebius strip for sale - see other side.
Unfortunately Danielle forgot Abel's rule of not touching anyone while in that form, and in a moment of quantum flux the magic would momentarily reveal Danielle for who she really was, before perminently locking her in her altered form.
So in other words Jy-Jy will see Daniella as Dan for that brief second. I never thought of that one and that is something Amber could pull on us. Hmmmmmmmmmm I will wait and see the results.

Yes, that's certainly a possibility. The U6 reference is quite apropos - even if they knew the difference between a gargoyle and a daemon they wouldn't have cared since they were out to slay both, being if-it-moves-kill-it adventurers (whom I made a habit of slaying to protect S.V., but I digress).

Dan's probaby still wrestling with his anti-cubi issues, 'tis true, but, you know, Abel's 300-frickin-years older than Jyrras, and Dan... honestly doesn't know Abel as well as Jyrras does, which is all KINDS of fascinating. Dan has seen Abel only as kind of a jerk, and a potential threat. Jyrras has peeled away the layers and seen that Abel is just a cute cuddly angstyboi trying to keep everyone away by being snippy and rude.

This will be interesting if Lorenda did something very special for Jy-Jy knowing the feelings he has for her as per conversation when the three sisters where there. Then telling Danlexsi he has feelings or Abel oh jeez I'm so confused :mowdizzy. This will come out as love triangle with a bit of passion in the mix who knows what more weirdness happens at DMFA.
Jy-Jy is a pretty strong charactor once you get past his timidness and fear. I mean he lives with a cow who has the capability to eat him alive, his best friend is a incubus, he's friends with a Fae, able to deal with a psychotic ferret, able to keep his sanity in an insane world.
With all those factors one could easily consider Jyrras a strong charactor with a powerful yet unusual sense of self preservation.

I suspect that Jyrras is more oblivious than anything. And anyways, that's less of a proof that he's strong than that he's a very compassionate character.
