If you take what I said in my last post Very liberally then Albiaon did 'save' Jyrras by making him forget about the laws of physics.
Something about a guy and threatning his toys that makes the guy think diffrently.
Anyone else see the purely 'Kira' look on Albiaon's face or was that my imagination?
Would that be "Jyrrai?" If one were better than the other, would we have to develop a "Jyrrating system" to tell which was which?
In freefall, one actually has a startling amount of 3-dimensional mobility within the inertial reference frame. Judging by Albanion's comment, however, I suspect Jy displayed far more than the usual mobility.

Albiaon knows about the secret lab. So if Albiaon is the Fae on the Creature council that means that the Creature council knows about it too.
If that is the case, who here thinks that Nutmegs invitation wasn't something more sinister.
Like distracting Jyrras and Lorenda while some people go snooping around the lab looking at things.
Heh heh, They're onto Jyrras's weapons!
And Terrycloth, just cuz I HAVE to say it :mwaha:
I told you so! This IS the real Albanion! :P
lets not forget we got DEATH BRINGER in the Lab and her robotic sister who I will call Mech to back her up.
We don't know how magic can affect Deebs nor Mech but for all we know an attack by anyone could lead to dizaster... for the attacking party.
But yea,
If you have a 'Secret lab' and everyone knows about it, it's not really a secret anymore.
Also if you think of it like this Jyrras was holding back on his more contriversal inventions. The Albiaon has showed the creature's council hand that they know that he's a serous inventor. By playing their hand they could force Jyrras hand into putting more R&D into offensive and defensive technology which can be a bad thing.
Sometimes in a game of cards it's best not to play your hand until the last possiable moment.

Jy can hover all he wants but he's completely trapped in Albanion's world at the moment. He can either give in to his demands and show him his advanced "farming and mining" equipment, he can think of a witty retort and lie about it/use a diversion or attempt to pause Albanion with a riddle(probably his best option), or he could play dumb. Playing dumb doesn't help alot since its only really a stall before Al starts getting a little more serious. As strange as this sounds Jyrass best shot of escaping from this dire situation lies with Mab since she brought him there in the first place, either that or he could just ask nicely to leave, but that would probably end in disaster since Albanion could drop him off anywhere, he probably wouldn't do that though because it wouldn't serve much of a purpose since it doesn't help him get any closer to the lab so he'd probably drop him out of the dimension somewhere near Jy's house. If anything this is the best opportunity for Kria to get to work since there are no residents home at the moment. :mwaha

Odds are you are just joking and I'm reading into things too seriously due to tiered-ness, but I doubt that. A fae-demon would likely have some wierd effect on the fae soul limit.
hmmm... if it were possible though, a fae demon would likely be the most dangerous thing in the universe. Unlimited magical power, the lust for more power and the rampaging instinct... yeah... :cry

Cool. I always wondered why Fa'Lina didn't do something along these lines when Jyrras was in SAIA.
Of course it might be that he simply wants to offer Jyrras some venture capital, but somehow I doubt it...

That... sounds potentially pretty funny, actually.
I just had a thought of Jyrras returning to his lab once he's out of the Fae Kingdom and finding Kria messing with all of his 'toys'. THAT would be awkward...and hilariously funny...
Considering what happened to his three assistants, messing with his toys might be a very bad idea.

I was thinking the exact same thing about Albanion, but it was Kria that told the CC about his technological prowess and that's why they are all interested in him. Funny that Albanion does know about the Lab though... I doublt Nutmeg is being sinister, Albanion is probably just taking advantage of the scenario. Besides, if Mab is any indication of Fae/Technology interactions there wouldn't be a lab (or property) when he got back.
It's not funny that Albanion knows about the lab if he IS on the Creature Council...
But the question is not that they know of the lab is that how did they find out about it.
Even though the lab is connected to the house the security system would in essence keep it hidden. Jyrras is smart enough to know that if someone broke into the lab or a cleared guest invited someone the security cameras would catch the culprit.
Kira was stalking Jyrras because she liked his rebelious side, gnawing off her anckles.
Lorenda would not betray his trust, she values her friend ship with him to much.
Mab though bubbly only really knows about the patches and she would have more fun playing with puppets.
Dan though a bit dimwitted can keep his mouth shut especally when he has his past deeds to blab about and own problems to deal with.
(all these asumptions are from what I have guessed on their personalites)
Still seeing that face on Albiaon does make one wonder if he has a little demon in him.
Stalking Jyrras from the outside of his house Kira can only go so far. Even if Kira did get inside Deebs would sound the alarm and chase Kira off at best at worst Jyrras would face serous problems with the 'creation' claws in the laws.
Apparently he wouldn't know. Kria showed a device that Jyrras made around the same time Jyrras was showing Lorenda around the lab. She obviously snuck off to grab it while Jyrras was occupied with his family, and perhaps it might have been something he left lying around. Perhaps it was something from outside the lab, and after showing it to the council, incited them to have Kria investigate further, which is when she began spying on Jyrras and noticed him going into the lab at some point or another. She then tells the council, and Albanion let's it slip at this point in the story that he knows about it.
Perhaps Jyrras will seek Mab's help in figuring out that the council is spying on him. Or at least get Lorenda's help and with that have her stay to guard the lab and keep her mother out of it.
Is he talking about the public lab, or the private lab?
There's a -big- difference.
Not that you'd be able to tell from Jy-jy's reaction, mind...
aww man i thing that Jy Jy's just learned hoe to move in an unseals dimension. do you think he left a sonic boom in his wake?
Aw, man! Another person trying to get Jyrras's shiny things away from him! First the counsel of creatures, now the Fae! Will this never end?

Dude, that was his handheld video game player. Kria nicked it, though Jyrras though it was his dad.
Here;
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_338.php
There you can see Jyrass's dad with the player,
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_347.php
There Jyrras think it was his dad who stole it...
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_365.php
And here we see that very same player. Kria must have taken it when Jyrras's dad was done with it.
And there's the clarification. It was one of his inventions, which led to further investigation by Kria at the behest of the council and ended up with finding out about his secret lab.
The fae on the CC is Albanion, I'm 99% sure of it, just compare the forhead jewels.
:erk Dear God.... HE SMILES JUST LIKE FA'LINA!!!! D:

Observations about Creature Council members. So far there are at least ten members. In apparent order of seating left to right from Kira's PoV...

Alrighty... different shape, different size, and different color, in addition to the fact that their heads are shaped nothing alike.
So I'm thinking no, not the same.
Sorry, Cas, but familyghost is right.
Look. The two figures' antennae are the same shade of blue, and the head was shaped oddly because it was turned. Imagine Albanion's profile in panel 2 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_782.php) silhouetted. Shaped funny, right?
As for the gem, well, art styles change over time. And if all this doesn't convince you, just look at Demo. 101, under Fae: "...he has been one of the more active voices in trying to build bridges between the Creature and Beings race and it is likely due to him that the Beings/Creature Council hasn't fallen apart yet."

On the other hand, we don't know the relationship between the Being/Creature Council and the Creature Council. It's possible they are one and the same and this is just a secret meeting, but the fact that they keep the place dark would suggest that they are a separate, Illuminati-like organisation.

Er... Albanion's antennae don't even look blue. At all. They're white, and - though this could admittedly just be an art thing - a different shape.

Fine. That just leaves different-shaped eyes, ears, and - especially - wings. Albanion's are wider, farther apart, and opaque.
Quote from: Black_angel on June 29, 2007, 05:02:47 PMAs for the gem, well, art styles change over time.
Evolving style doesn't account for halving in size, turning from an oval to a bent raindrop shape, and from dark purple to dull blue.

I really don't think that's Albanion on the council. All the debate about his forehead jewel and headshape aside the big give away are the wings. Albanion has very prominently rounded wings where the fae on the council has pointed wings.
Another big giveaway Albanion only has two fingers and a thumb on each hand, where as the fae on the council has three fingers and a thumb.
I thought the size, shape, and number of wings on a fae was determined by their current mood, it'd explain the difference in wing shape because the council scene is a little more serious then he is now. Or mabye was that only Mab who had ever changing wings.

You're right, I took a quick look through and wings do infact change frequently and without warning.
The hand thing still stands as strong evidence though.
hard to say but time will tell and i wonder if the whole secret lab was a bluff or was it something the knew for sure.

They would have no incentive to do so. Creatures in general, and the fae in particular, have powers and presumably weapons far more powerful than anything that the beings have. The fae would not want to narrow this gap. So it's more likely that Albanion would want to destroy the lab to ensure that Jyrras cannot make anything more powerful.
Now, if I were trying to get Jyrras out of the lab, I might arrange an `accidental' meeting with one of his fae friends...in which case, pretending that Mab's parents were going to die would be a perfect excuse. I don't think that's what's going on here, but I might store that one away for future writings.
As to the debate on whether Albanion is on the CC, I think it's worth pointing out that he is the king consort, so it's not impossible that he receives reports from the CC.
As to the comic itself, unless Jyrras has rocket boots, he would not be able to move like that in freefall. So it looks like he's adjusting to the ``What you believe becomes what you can do'' philosophy.
You know, with all of the psychological stress Jyrass has been experiencing lately, I can't help but wonder if Wildy's novel is going to wind up becoming some sort of self-fulfilling prophesy. He's well on the road to becoming a mad scientist.
I don't really think the meeting was fake. it IS genuine, but it's not as if people can't have two things to do at any given time...

What I don't understand is why Jy can't just leave The fae world through his lab's elevator... Note Exhibit A:http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_361.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_361.php)
Realize that it never actually says
that this is Wonka's factory... I mean, it looks a lot like the Fae world to me... <.<; I'm just sayin'...
Man, you people can debate!
Anyway, I was a little too close to my monitor, and I noticed that those silhouettes actually have their blacklining still intact, so I hopped over to XNview, played with contrast and brightness for a bit, and brought the features into sharp relief.

Have fun.
hmm. the guy in the red background is decidedly human, when looking at the outline. That, or turtle. I'm going to guess he's a Were.
And yet there is still the very good point Netrogo brought up; this guy has four fingers, including thumb, Albanion only has three.
:mowmeep Everyone seems to think that the Creature Council know a lot about Jyrras's Lab. How can they? The Scanner? Seth, (Jy's dad), was playing with it while the crowd mobbed Jyrras. Kria comes. Everyone leaves. Seth has no Scanner. Next we see Kria showing the toy to the council. So it seems that Kria palmed it, after seeing it's value and use in looking inside. To the group it would appear a toy ...
First, it's Seth, not Zeth. Second, it was a handheld game player, i.e., a game boy, not a scanner. Third, we already knew that Kria took it. I posted that myself earlier.
Don't mind Kaskar. If he's making sense, it's usually a fluke. I just ignore most of what he says.
8) It could have been a cctv display monitor ... The main point is how Abby found / ( guessed ? ) what vaguely was in the underground lab ? Or did the female technical assistant that disapeared become the " Fly on the Wall ", and is passing on information to the Creature Council ? ( re:#364 ) I doubt the information is coming from Lorenda, and a peeping Kria would not see much ....
:rolleyes Please now look at #364
8) I mean, this must be the best way to ' bug ' a conversation on the move ...
What the...Did Kaskar just make sense and...ACTUALLY COME UP WITH A GOOD SPECULATION?? Omfg ff! Hell has frozen over and the wolrd is about explode! Everyone, say goodbye to you family and loved ones, Armaggedon is nigh!
No. He's still presuming that Albanion is talking about the downstairs lab, and not the upstairs one.
http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_361.php
See?
Oh. Ok then. Everything's fine. :3
But why would Albanion be reffering to anything other than Jy's downstairs lab, or why would Jy react like that if Albanion was meaning his upstairs lab? After all, his upstairs lab is public knowledge, for things like patches and other small things, as he states in that comic linked by llearch.

Albanion said SECRET lab. That means, not the ordinary one. The SECRET underground lab.
True.
Yeah, I agree, I think Albanion was talking about the underground lab. I speculate the world hasn't ended yet because Kaskar is making things more complicated than they need be. Simply put, Albanion knows about Jyrras's secret lab because he's just that good.
The important thing is not how Albanion knows, it's what he wants.
He already said, he wants the shiny things! How much more information do you need!?
Albanion is a Fae that has got wind of Jyrras's secret lab, and has probably seen images or has been given a brief description of the lab. ( e.g. From the fly on the wall, the lab assistant. ) However, a full answer from the maker can help when it comes to the Fae, on what these things can do. A fly describes this and does a fae comprehend or not ...
Now look at #Vol362...
As I said, they see the balls, but what exactly do they see? You need a base of knowledge for that thought, but ...
Now look at #Vol361...
Any Fae could describe and understand this straight out! It is in their mental mindset ...
Oh, for the love of... Smileys, portions of comics, full(if spliced) comics, multiple full comics, what's next, is Kaskar going to start posting AVI movies in his posts?
I suppose It would be silly of me to think, massively powerful magical creature = can see/sense things that beings can't (after all powerful cubi can do similar) a limited omniscience perhaps?

Well, it's just that they take up a lot of vertical space that could be spent better just by explaining your reasoning and maybe even linking to the strip(s) you're talking about. It's when you do like you did and start using comic images excessively, that's what they're not too thrilled about.

Also, some logical spacing in your posts couldn't hurt, and remember that just because you think you want to say something doesn't mean you should say something. A closed mouth gathers no foot.(and when I gather foot, I tend to choke on the kneecaps.)
Also, something I'm trying to practice is the idea that sometimes, "less is more." Sometimes, a witty little one-liner will make people think more than an entire paragraph, and large posts are almost always ignored by most readers, so if you want your posts to be noticed, toss in a couple of attention grabbers(ONE OR TWO smileys, caps-words, or font alterations), and keep 'em short.
And apply some common sense to some of your arguments. Just because Albanion is grinning evilly, for example, doesn't mean he's Aniz's brother from a thousand years ago, who fathered Kria while Nutmeg wasn't looking. That's just silly, and needlessly complex.

I read all of every one of your posts. They still tend to not make sense.
Your point gets lost, however, when more people are annoyed at your post than are annoyed at the content.

:mowmeep However, smileys and mows are a different matter. They should be used to give the mood of the paragraph, and apart from decorative, are good for following moods of thought. I am sorry if readers did not find a connection between the Mow, and the mood of a page or paragraph...
Usually, they aren't used to prefix the paragraph. Every paragraph. Yes, they should be. It's a pity that, according to at least five people I can think of offhand, you're not using them effectively.
Contrariwise, I can't think of -anyone- who has talked to me saying that they agree with your use of emotes. Perhaps that's a hint there.
I dunno.. it seems to me like maaaaaybe Albanion is reading his mind just a little?
At least that is the impression I got from 800 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_800.php)...
I personally think Albanion was just guessing and bluffing. Example, the part about "no, you don't really believe you're going to die, because there is no ground to splat on" is something anyone can figure out and say. The part about "believing you will be rescued" was probably a bluff.
Um, no it wasn't. He was pretending to be a psychologist and picking apart Jyrras in a comical fashion. Stop killing the jokes, please?
I know that. I was replying to Aurawyn saying that she though Albanion was psychic. Please read posts other than just mine, please.
Actually, I've gotten confused a few time about which posts were being referred to in various posts on the forum. It's an easy mistake to make.
please disregard. deleted on opinion and request ...
Only you, Kaskar. Only you would post in a dead thread saying that it's dead.
AND call them rooms, when they aren't rooms.
Sorry, Outdated message, please disregard ...
kaskar, I don't think people ignore/skim over you because you come across as dull. I think it's because you come across as moronic. Despite the sheer size of the internet, I notice that not that many people feel the need to use that many emotes and the need to communicate with pictures. It gets annoying since it can cause a bit of lag when loading the page, and it's not necessary unless you were asked to map out some conclusion you came to. Hell, the last person to post only in pictures was banned before the day was over.
Thankyou for giving an honest opinion, and backing it with an arguement that holds water.
Kaskar, honestly we wouldn't be annoyed with you if the pics and emotes you were using made sense to what you were saying. Take the post on the previous page you keep insisting we read. You talk about the problem of people skimming and not reading your posts, yet you posted a picture that had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that subject. You even said in that that you basically post the picture to draw attention to your post so people will read it.
Newsflash for you. I used to read all your posts through, much like I read everyone's post in every thread I go to. I started skimming over yours WHEN you started using pictures and emotes for EVERY SINGLE FREAKING POST. You don't even TRY to sound normal half the time and instead come off as someone who clearly doesn't know what's actually going on in the thread and is just looking for attention.
Regardless I'm done trying to reason with you. If you don't want to straighten up and continue to 'subtely' (I know I probably spelled that wrong) put down anyone that gives you constructive criticism then quite frankly...
***Appologies for the next part of this post and warning to any reading that it will in fact NOT be PG***
As I was saying, quite frankly... Go fuck yourself and get the fuck off my internet you degenerate waste of font and form. Go find some other place to fuck up and garner your pitiful attempts for attention and leave this one in peace such as it is. Maybe after a tour of the net you might learn how to pull your head out of your ass and start thinking like a normal human being for three fucking seconds.
