Damn, I was in the middle of making this thread. S'alright.
Bernadette's store policy seems pretty steep, don't you think?
"We ask for money upfront. Our customers have a habit of going off and dying somewhere not very pleasant."
And that's why the merchants don't accept credit cards.
Have to feel that would be a good way to make a better profit. Doors are a standard item that can be bought in bulk, but make sure that people keep on 'breaking them' , with a door that has 100 % markup .May be the markup idea would slow down kria's demonic attacks .
Huh. It's not the first time a customer's mother has broken into the changing room and it's not the first time a customer's popped out during lacing. Is this Bernadette's catchphrase?
"This isn't the first time we lost the entire stock in a store fire. In fact, this is only the second..."
As they say..No such thing as a free lunch
Quite the interesting clientele Bernadette must have had. The same can be said for a mall that has to require everyone to leave their weapons at the desk.
...Bernadette's from New York! :U

More like any big city in the U.S. :D
How strong a door is needed to keep Kria from breaking in to the rescue ? Even if the Heroineism is a bit misplaced in the rescue of Lorenda, can a demon be contained behind steel ?
I can't believe that Amber is going to deprive us of seeing Lorenda in a Corset. I was really anticipateing that :dribble
Such is the Goddes's plan for us.

I don't want to think about what has happened before in that store or what kind of customers they get. :erk
But sure it's not a boring job. :D
Does that that mean now, Lorenda will have the frontal lacing corset that she can pull up herself, instead of having the mare race in ...
That's actually a really good idea. Maybe the Government wouldn't be so strapped for cash all the time if they did a similar thing with bus stops or phone boxes or something.
Is that because " They are strapped for Cash ? "
I wonder how weak you can make a door . If you pay for each door you break, it may pay more than the corsets ...

*Charline nods* Employees are priced by the pound... and USDA meat grade. >:3 *stamps Charles with a Grade F... humans are icky*

*stamps grade "offal" on himself*
... because I'm just offal, particularly when joking....
geez. What HASN'T happened in that store?! :rolleyes
btw, Bernadette is starting to sound a bit like Azlan when he's talking about Neni. I was starting to think that it would be fun to see some of the things she does, but some things are better left to imagination... :giggle

No, you're just obvious. See?
Anyhow, from what we've seen and heard, angels and demons have horribly fast reflexes and can harden their skin and such quite a lot. We have the demon power accumulation, the angels' speed, the cubi inherent abilities... but where do we have a rating of physical strength? Quite obviously, dragons are by far the strongest, and I would guess that the insectis, being what they are, could put up a whole lot of fight... but thus far we have no clear indication as to which races tend to be stronger and which don't. Info, please?
"Gee, Bob... I'm going to have to go for the super. I'll bring down all the doors. In fact, I'll bring down the house! [starts up chainsaw...]

Always switch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Prisoners_Problem) (I've got the original article kicking around here somewhere; it's a better description).
On the contrary about dragons, Fae are my best bet on the most powerful races, Stygian.QuoteThe dragon race is likely one of the oldest and most powerful races in the land of Furrae (The only thing making it an unsure victory being that the Fae aren't so forthcoming with their race history)
Simply out of the fact that they -individually- can eradicate entire races using armageddon magic out of whim. Mythos is close, but their magic is more specialized according to what type of mythos they are; whereas fae are walking demigods who only choose to die out of their own decision, and even then return as a whole different identity.
Still, the same piece of evidence makes it all that more unsure on whether or not dragons are stronger. Honestly, I wouldn't care. It would be all up to common sense whether or not you fight someone weaker or stronger than you, based on your convictions.
I was not referring to power. There, things always become quite tricky, no exceptions or buts or ifs allowed.
I was speaking of sheer physical prowess here, Ink. Nothing but. And in that respect it is my firm belief that dragons are superior in most aspects, save a few where it is convenient to be small.

That was a bit iffy given the context; being that blasting a door open is the same thing as breaking it down. Heh.
Dammit, Styg, stop posting in serifs. :cry
Why not do what I do? If the serif is Stygians' choice, set my local css to overwrite it into lucinda console, or something equally helpful.
Makes him look much more mature, I tell you. :-]
Can't I threaten to ban him instead? :)
What's wrong with posting in a different font? As long as it isn't webdings or something.
Kria, the store and Door destroying demon !

*Charline hmms* Not to mention powers of individuals may be increased by magic and/or science... speaking of which, you haven't been performing any Kurotsuchi-like augmentations to yourself, have you? *pokes Ink's halo* Perhaps you've fused yourself with Armisael, the Angel with the initially halo-like appearance, thus giving you the ability to assimilate other life-forms! :U
Woops! My bad!

Can we compromise and get rid of Verdana? Seriously, even Georgia would be an improvement over this. I'd suggest Baskerville or
Caslon (http://www.goines.net/Writing/set_it_in_caslon.html), but my version is poorly hinted at whatever size this is. Oh, by the way, Styg, your choice of font is not that bad (It's this one, right (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/sylfaen/index.htm)?). A bit too much like Bodoni for my tastes, but...
Oh, also I'm curious as to how you're able to change it to Lucida Console if you spell it Lucinda. :B
From what Ms.Rhinoface says, Everything seems to have happen at that store.
I bet the Greek War thingmambob from a kiljillion years ago didn't happen there.
-gets armour shined-
She can't say it happened! She just can't this time! D:

Oh, sure. But at some point, you have to enter something like /Lucinda-Console (lucidaconsole.pfb) ; If you're consistently misspelling it, that won't work.
copy/paste :-P

Yes, superluser, it is the Sylfaen font. Clever as usual... :rolleyes The same font as I use everywhere else on my system, actually. But what does that have to do with anything? Is this the comic discussion or not?
And everything did indeed happen at that store. Come on! They have corsets! How could it not?

Well, I can't see it, and most of the examples that I see for that font are from the
Caucasus (http://www.armunicode.org/en/fonts/unicode/Sylfaen/) region (http://www.adjarabet.com/sylfaen.htm). So when I found an example that looked to be the roman version, I had to add the caveat that I wasn't sure.
Funny that a Welsh word would be used for a Caucasian font.

Care to elaborate more?
I need to know if I am to call you a Heathen, Heritic or a sad closed minded fool.
Has Amber drawn any chr's that have been ugly? Truly ugly? or even remotely ugly? (she may claim all her works prior to 2001. but we know this to be false.)
I was in a production of 'The Good Doctor'. Which ,for those that don't know, is a period piece where all the girls wore corsets. There is no denying the appeal of the corset. Why do you think it started in the first place. To simply state the point. I was completely amazed and blown away.
Either way. I still stand by my origional statement. I want to see Lorenda in a corset. I imagine she would be irresistable.
The last few days seems as if Amber is 'threading' along the corset line, and seems to be 'stringing' us along . As the plot pages ' pull ' together , the tension now may show us finally Lorenda in her corset . ( apologies to Bernadette )
