... or not?
Aww. Jyrras is such a party pooper. :-)
I can totally get behind that idea. |3
A Kick the Cubi Day...? *hides*
No, not generally. Just Abel. :-)
llearch, you should know that I was in the process of making another thread just as you posted.
(You should also know that the thread said, among other things, ``You've got until I hit the post button to get your act together and start a new thread.'')
As for the comic:
Well. That went over extremely.
Dan managed to turn something that would have likely given him trouble (the Abel outburst) and turn it into a joke that Jyrras didn't get upset about.
Quote from: RJ on February 11, 2007, 11:34:11 PMA Kick the Cubi Day...? *hides*
I think MaskedRetriever might like that...
Hmmm kick the cubi...Gee its funny when you realized some of your outnumbered *chuckles* And side note...Dan has one the biggest flaws for an adventurer
That he's straight?
As Dan said it's going to be awkward and I eagerly anticipate it. (Oh the awkwardness)
What will Jyrras do now? Kick Abel, go after Abel , or go after Lorenda? Jyrras would most likely at this point want want to kick Dan for Kick the Cubi Day.
...let's leave that one.
I'd say his biggest flaw is that he's a stereotypically stubbornly dumbass who can't stop whining about being a cubi and learn to use his power so that he can go angsty and kill all the arrogant and idiotic cubi, meaning everyone of them!
Dan reflects me in so many ways.
Wow, Dan. You did a heck of a good job speaking your mind about the situation to Jyrass in a very composed manner. Even adding the "kick Abel" comment at the end you deserve an A+.
no! Don't kick the Abel!
That's the way to swiftly solve the problems of communication!
yay :)

I'd kick Abel.
Oooh I hope we get a breeding genetics mini-arc by Mikelo! But as I refuse to get a paypal account I sadly don't have any say in it.
DAN JUST SPAT OUT A TRIPLE NEGATIVE! He doesn't want to be Jyrras' friend anymore! :crying

That's typically what one assumes, after they admit to having a crush on two people of the same gender. :o
Shhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, loving a person does to some degree entail one's sexual preferences. For now, Jyrras is more Trisexual than anything else.

>:3
I say Jyrras is bi and if he plays his cards juuuuust right (and if several completely impossible things happen as well) he could get Abel and Lorenda into a threeway. :boogie
Trisexuals are people that are willing to try various forms of sex, as they have yet to confirm which one they prefer. It tends to shift after losing one's virginity.
Ah! But is he necessarily a virgin?
>:3
Jy has shown interest in one woman and two men. If anything, that makes him bisexual. We don't know whether or not Jy has ever had sex before, but I'm willing to bet he hasn't, so I highly doubt he's willing to engage "this, that, and that other thing" in sex.
Whelp, seeing as how he's been a little turned off from girls due to all the glomping and he's probably too shy to even consider teh butsecks, he probably is. After all, the day a nerd gets laid is the day hell freezes over.
"What can I say? Nerds are hot."
He may be willing to walk to the next base after he finishes confessing his love, but this comic is still PG, and so we're probably not gonna see that happen.

You went kind of double negative, I thought it was geeks who went for the entertainment industry. However, Jyrras seems to do both, as the item Kria brought the council was something along the lines of a Game Boy.
You quote as I edit! curse you!
And yes, it is true, scientists get laid frequently since the government pays them to have a lot of genuis children.
Well all the progress the biggest fault Dan has so far...He likes to go on more than he should..Sides its less odvious we know what he will choosie..Sides..Maybe whatever it may be...It will be good for us all children
Try-sexuals... ha ha, I remember back in college where in my Freshman year around a third of my classmates were either gay or bisexual, by my sophomore year the numbers was cut in half.
Well theres only one way to be sure of Jy's sexual orientation...
I propose a scientific experiment!
I'm fairly certain "trisexuals"(lol, srsly. Whoever came up with that term should be shot) only applies to people that've actually had sex. I think the word you guys want is "Pansexuality", but I fail to see how that applies to Jy, since he's only shown interest in three people so far.
Punchline made me laugh loud enough to spook sibling in other room. How long have I been saying the same thing?
As for Jyrras, does he strike you as ever having gotten any? Be honest. I'd just call him bi; lately there's so many new sexualities that it's hard to tell what anyone's interested in anymore. :rolleyes
It will be great fun people and who knows what flowers will bloom in the meddow of battlefield of love!!....I guess Trisexualitys meaning reserved or for transexuals ideas and stuff...Side note..You strike me down Valynth or Zina I shall become more powerful than you could imagine :dface *shields face*
But is Lorenda Jy-sexual?
But in any case with Jyrass I think he's definitely a virgin for sure. Jy-Jy reminds of me I was a virgin till I was 33 years old when I lost it. I went through stages by the bi and tri nah just regular chasing of the female sex. Anyway now Dan said what her really said I applaude his honesty I think this friendship will last a very long time. I was thinking of the Jy-Jy hooking up with Abel and Lorenda I say this *BAD FANBOYS AND GIRLS BAD, BAD.

Here, I thought she only wanted grandkids. OMG... What is she going to do when she finds out about my boytoys or my sorority sister playmates... Well, I'm 25, and she just have to live with it....*eek!* No no Mother I am am not doing anything, what? I have another date with Richie Bowman from genetics. *sign* fine fine.

Abel is too suspicios if you ask me, the way those warp-Aci seem to hug allover him, and the way his former roommate behaved after encountering "the great unknown" is a little fishy...
ok, seriously. It is obvious Abel is putting on a show for Dan and the others, Dan could be picking up on part of Abel's deceitful nature, it isn't uncommon for a person to tell when their being lied too. Despite Abel's claims of hating people who hide their true identity, the part of his identity he choses to show could just as easily be a smokescreen to divert attention away from his true nature. Remember, his true purpose is the training and education of Daniel in the arts of seduction, and sexual pleasure...

I dunno. Jyrras has probably thought this through to the point where he goes on a date with Dan/Abel/Lorenda/Kria, but I'm not sure if he's thought it all the way through to the coitus.
I'd give even odds that he would not be interested in at least one of those sexes.

Of course Dan just couldn't help but sneak in a badly placed joke after being very much not his usual self. I'd play the odds and go with whatever's more likely for Jy-Jy but they're both pretty even, so I'd throw my money in on bisexual. Dan: Straight, Jyrras: Bi :tmyk

(I'm not sure if you were responding to me, but...)
I should point out that my statements on the matter should not be used to imply that Jyrras is not gay or bi, or that anyone is not gay or bi, or will ``get over it,'' but rather that he seems rather unsure of his sexuality at this point, and so I'm not sure that we can state anything with certainty.
In fact, I do believe that I gave even odds on Jyrras being bisexual or (anything else). Which, for those of you playing at home, breaks down something like this:
50% probability of being bi
33% probability of being gay
12% probability of being straight
5% probability of being an Inamorato
If any of these are Jyrras' true preference, then he's not ``going to grow out of it'' or whatever. I'm sure he could change--Jim Jones proved that. But by now, whatever his sexual orientation is, it's probably pretty well set.
Your statement, however, was quite eloquent, and I commend you for that.
It's quite possible Jyrras is only "not done working out his sexuality" which certainly does happen. I suppose I was trying to point out that, while this is legitimate speculation, there's a lot of potential to misinterpret it and rather than have us in the Alternating Current crowd silently grinding our teeth over it I should just point out that that isn't what's being argued. Jyrras very possibly isn't wholly settled with himself, but that is a separate issue from whether it's *possible* that he's "really" bisexual.
The odds as I see them:
90% Bisexual (His various escapades into Lust are ALARMINGLY similar to my own extremely bisexual feelings)
8% Gay
2% Straight
Much lower odds on straight because he too appreciates the Abelchest. Which is delicious.
He seems like a nicesexual, the way things have been going...
It's about the pattern I followed early on: When someone was nice to me, showed character traits that appealed to me or was generally "cool" about something, the sexual response (which I'm imagining triggers on gender fairly strongly for you monosexuals out there) would kick in.
But in Jyrass case maybe he's just confused about these sexual feelings. MInd you he's innocent and naive about sex and what classification he is right now. I think Jy-Jy needs to be very honest with himself and finding out his sexual feelings within himself. As I see it
35% Bisexual
5% Gay
60% Straight
Personally I don't think that's giving Jyrras enough credit, but I can see how someone would get that impression.

Which three phases? Gay/Bi/Straight or alpha/beta/gamma on a three-phase 60-hz 120vpp-to-ground power transmission protocol? Because despite having the same number of possible contact points I don't know if it's a fair analogy since adding alpha to beta voltage gives you *negative* gamma times some cosine of something as opposed to positive gamma which is what you get when you add gay to straight.

Honestly I don't know I think in the case of Jy-Jy I think his feelings for both Dan and Abel is just honest good feelings towards them but as you see it from Dan which he told him in other words I'm very flattered you have these feelings for me but I'm straight type of response. That's why I see Jy-Jy confused emotionally and sexually. I care about the roorat and his feelings I just don't want him get hurt and be more confused. That's why I want Jyrass to be very honest with his feelings.

HaZxMaT, you win a thousand Awesome Points for that. XD
I ask you, who can bring yourself to kick such a magnificently sarcastic, smartass, blunt, smug... uh...
...on second thought, it's rather easy to be provoked into kicking Abel.
I think Dan handled that rather eloquently, save for the triple negative which got slipped into there. Nicely handled--poor Jyrras, though. Gotta sympathize with his little dilemma.

I'd like to ask your logic at saying the odds Jy squeek being straight are 60%
that seems counter intutive to the facts
I mean we know of 3 crushes and two of those are male
so is it the more men you are atracted to the more straight you are?
That seems about right, actually. 90% of people are straight, and something like 30% experiment with homosexuality. That means about 2/3rds of the people who have crushes on guys are straight.

Maybe I'm just a greymuzzle, but isn't this interest in sex a bit, ahem, immature? When you get it regularly, you honestly don't care who's getting what and from whom.
Folks, let's not bring the politics of sex into this forum. I have enough of it from the talk radio...
It hasn't necessarily been immature as a whole. At least not the discussion about sexuality. Maybe the comments about buttsecks, fondling etc. were a little immature, but talking about Jy-Jy's sexuality is still somewhat on topic. At least the way I see it.

That is, in fact, the only reason why my estimate of Jyrras' chances of being straight are so high. Ignoring that statistic, I'd put it down around 6-8%, just slightly higher than the Inamorato.

Sorry, ladies, but apparently you can't like guys. :B

Wait I still don't see that logic as making sense
The more male crushes a guy has the straighter they are? how straight does that make me then?
Straight guys with the ocasional male crushes yes I can understand
but Jyrras has 3 persistant crushes, and the two he seems to deem the important ones are the male crushes. He didn't seemto think the one on Lorenda was important enough to talk with Alexis about
If I was going to to set odds I'd have said
20% straight
30% gay
50% Bi

Eh, girls always like the gay guys. That's where the straight comes from.
On a more interesting note, though, I hope when Jy and Dan get back, Jy does those evil lil shifty eyes, gives Abel a "lovetap" with his foot, and runs. O:3 Just cause the thought was put in his head.
I still think that Jy is being influenced somewhat by Dan's heritage... it really can't all be natural...
Oh, and as for the whole straight/gay thing... why bother? We're all as confused to this, and the only safe thing would be to be general in definition, and say that Jyrras is bisexual. And that he's also a virgin. He has to be. Really.
That would also count for his attraction to Abel as well then. Now you got me thinking of CCS and the whole attraction to magical beings.

Nooo, I meant the 60% straight bit seemed about right, not the 'more guys' thing. :B Sorry.
Jyrrass has 3 crushes but isn't sure which to follow. He's still figuring out his sexuality. And Lorenda was the one he tried to follow up on first -- when he had to pick arbitrarily which one to pursue, she was his first choice.

... or he got sidetracked by Danielle into not getting around to mentioning it, which isn't, after all, all that unreasonable, no?
Just my 2p. :-)
Heh, and if Dan and Abel's being Cubi having something to do with Jy-fluff's crushes on them hasn't occured to Dan yet, it certainly will be fun watching it happen. :mwaha
"Abel's probably oozing charm magic to win people over to his side!"
"Dan..."
"Wait-- what if you've been attracted to ME all this time because I'm a Cubi!?"
"Dan..."
"This is terrible-- I could have been unconsciously manipulating you all these--"
"DAN! EARTH TO DAN! COME IN DAN!"
"*gasp* Now Abel's got you ACTING like him!!"
*SUCKER PUNCH'd*
:funkluigi1

I gotta say, that doesn't seem too likely. He didn't seem attracted to Abel at SAIA, which I would have expected if it were a `cubi field effect.
Jyrras' attraction to Abel, if you ask me, started about the time Abel cracked the "my slave for all time" joke.
At that point, I think Jyrras' opinion of Abel arrived at "nice guy faking jerkdom" which from the look on his face already had him thinking about Abel as "cute" if not quite at "crush" phase.
My guess is that Jyrras was already falling for Abel before they left SAIA.

That's what i saw too> Jyrass has to talk to Abel get this out in the open. Who knows maybe Abel will go for it hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Sorry I can't go there it's screamming with naughty images. Anyway this has to come down with a talk to Abel to settle things once and for all.
Even if Abel was faking being a jerk, there is a point where you get so far in that the lie suddenly becomes the truth. Abel passed that line a while ago before he even entered the current timeline.

So another word we are allowed to kick Abel because he has past his time in the jerkyness dept hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting concept. I like it lets have a holiday just for Abel just to kick him any ideas of costume Abel will wear for the kicking of Abel holiday?
I'm not sure if that came out right? Some of your message was a bit unclear.
Some Mana? Im surpized he could speak with crumbs in his mouth
Bah, sure it's true that no amount of simple hugs is going to de-grouch everyone's favorite grouchypoutykitty, he's clearly only being a jerk because he hasn't been persuaded to come out of his shell yet.
Now, it's gonna take more than Jyrras showing off how few bites it takes him to eat a bananna to get Abel to come around, but I do think Jyrras has a better chance than most: Abel will be reluctant to pierce a mind-shield he put up (honest jerk, remember?) to figure out what's really going on in Jyrras' head, AND he's still trying tricks designed for Cubi. Jyrras just might be the best chance Abel has to break out of that shell, just because his defenses aren't designed for keeping out small cuddly fluffy beings with a penchant for ruthless logic.

Oh jeeze! I think you are quite right on this let the pursuer chases the Abel.
