And now Aniz is snazzy looking too!
Discuss.
I notice that Aniz just cleaned up all the blood on himself as well as healing his shoulder entirely...
Good Lord, dude, Aniz just killed one of his closest friends and took him away from the only life he's ever known. Has 25 years posing as a being really not taught him that it takes more than a few minutes to get over that kind of shock? D:<
I like the new outfit, though. :)
Beat me to it because I was in the bathroom.
The second panel looks cool with him healing the wound.
And Abel is still in shock.
I really wonder how all those long lived races seem to always miss the sensitivity training classes...
Also unshelled > shelled sunflower seeds :p
I still wanna crucify Aniz.
*gives Abel a cookie*
he needs a cookie... at least a cookie
And who will be the first one to walk in on them, I wonder. Will it be Fa'lina, or Destania :mwaha
Heh he sure makes a good deal of just saying all that nothing will make up to this at all...Well is true..Nothing will at this time...
Interesting pattern the blood makes when he is in the process of healing himself.
Also: is he using magic there to put on his new outfit? I'm presuming not create it, since Abel later goes on a long rant about how impractical that is.
Maybe if you told him waht the F*** was going on...
Abel appears to have his knee on his tail.
Methinks this shock may be more intense than Aniz has noticed.

Oh, yes! Maybe he had this stuff all laid out for when he got there. This would probably not be the case at SAIA's teleportation reception area (if, indeed it has one), so he might not have taken him there. Which has me confused.
Edit: Also, I see they have chosen to tile the floor with Pergo.
Evil little *insert various obscene insults here* though he is, you almost gotta admire these Spike/Bartimaeus-styled irreverent moments he has.
no pun intended, but it looks like Abel's Catatonic right now..
no wonder he's like he is in DMFA proper, he hides it all in a wall of jerk.
You played too rough with your toy, Aniz. Now you've broken it.
Curse you, Amber!! :U
Curse you for making me alternate between wanting to kill him and wanting to laugh!! :U
...okay, I'm done :B
Gods I hate this pretentious douche bag.
We've had what... how many strips now with him yackin? (More if you count him when he was using a disguise.)
I hope his face implodes.
zomg Aniz pants are becoming red ... he is in his period and forgot his tampon :B
He has to be making the clothing as he's talking, or shapeshifting it as he's talking. The red on his pants was not there in the first two panels, and the cufflinks are sort of "swinging" into place.
Poor Abel, with his tail between his legs and all puffy. Of course he's not gonna move, he's scared sh**less.
He needs to meet Fa'lina and have some muffins :p
Is that a front-only jacket-type thing? One would imagine if Aniz was shapeshifting it on, he'd have one that covers his back perhaps...?

You see in the bottom panel that it's a standard "backless" model favoured by most of the winged types about.
It's kind of a shame how Aniz almost seems to be apologising for what he did. Killing Hennya was a mistake, after all. But yeah, he seems to have broken Abel.
**EDIT**
Abel doesn't know about mind-shields yet. I guess Aniz must be really preoccupied not to notice that his son's brain has gone into an infinite loop.

I've noticed that most 'cubi in DMFA tend to get wrapped up in what they're doing so much that they don't notice what others are doing for a while. And when they do, they're surprised anyone's having trouble following their train of thought.
Love the new outfit! Combined with the wing color scheme, it looks VERY neat.

This is true.
Remember The Matrix Reloaded? Remember what made it suck? No, the other thing. No, the other other thing--from the end of the film.
The Explainer? The old guy who really wanted to be Christopher Lee?
At the end, he just keeps talking and talking and explaining everything. Hopefully, Amber will give a few lines to someone else rather than just using Aniz for exposition.
The more I see of him, the more interesting a character Aniz is. So wonderfully flawed on all levels. I like that.
Abel has big eyes.
*Charline snerks* Aniz is exceedingly ignorant of how emotions work. Recall how his anger took control and he killed Henya without even knowing what he was doing. I suspect his personality itself is fragmented.
*Charles interjects!* I know! He's like Voldemort! He's killed lots of people to become immortal, and so his soul has split into pieces! But since he didn't make Horcrux's, all the pieces are still living inside him! :.
*Charline :tumbleweed * I'll kill you later. Like I was saying, his current composure obviously belies a highly unstable mind. Not to mention his power isn't all that impressive. So he will eventually die a terrible terrible death, which I'm sure most people are hoping for. :3

It's really just nerd humor, so I didn't think making the BOSD itself anything more than recognizable important. This was compounded by the fact the forum seems to have told the browser to reduce the size of the image, making it further unreadable. I guess there is a max width or height that it likes. (Original: http://www.fur.com/~wfire/Abel-GPF.png)
Anyway, the line that is not standard error message reads:
i am the blue screen of death, no-one can hear your screamsWhich, oddly enough, is exactly how I found the BSOD on Google images when I was searching for reference and I decided it fit well enough. :)

The only 'Cubi-like thing he's done is disguise himself as someone who almost looks like him anyway. Everything else could have been done by an Angel or Demon, with only a few slight changes.
I mean seriously, in all other regards he's been a total pleb. I've lost count of how many times he screwed up in ways that would not have happened if he just stopped messing around and started using the thought/mood reading abilities that Amber gave him. He's almost like the main character in
Age of the Pussyfoot who you end up wanting to die because he's such a cretin.

Hate to disagree (no, really) but I think flaws only make a character interesting when they're against the backdrop of a halfway decent personality, and therefore stand out
as flaws. However, I don't think we've seen anything of Aniz's personality other than cold, ruthless evil, with just a hint of sardonicism (sorry, I tried to find a better word, I really did) for flavor. I won't come out and call him a flat character, certainly not before the story's finished, but right now, he seems to be nothing
but character flaws, without any redeeming qualities. Not exactly the most interesting character out there.

Ah, yes. If he only had to change his looks slightly it's not such a big crime, is it? Never mind that he killed the guy and then knocked up his wife and gloated about it. No, I'm sure that an Angel would go about doing something vengeful and terrible in such a manner, not to mention a Demon. I mean, why settle for just killing the guy for revenge? Reciprocate reaction? That's not fun!

The point, which I'm sorry to say it looks like you are deliberately evading, is that there is
nothing he has done which he could not have done if he was an Angel or a Demon, and probably better. Wings? One of those lovely Creature->Being patches like Kria has. Tail? $29.99 at Digo Market. Or a free surgery coupon.
The only tricky bit is learning enough about Cid to fool May, and if he came home with 'head injuries' after an adventure gone wrong, he could wing that too.

I'm not seeing how being a bastard is 'Cubi-specific. Or having a child by a Being.
an amulet may not be nessicary- we know that things like knit fabrics are extremely difficult, but thats really all we know. it leaves us two choices
1- Aniz is extremely powerful, chances are he can kill you with his butt cheeks. 'extremely difficult' is no hurdle when it comes to having pants of the right color, you should see him make toast
2- Its leather, mmmm, leather. technically its not knit or woven or whatever. also possible if he could make one solid piece of silk, i dunno.

They would have likely pulled out a journal and start listing off various things they have done during the 25 years and how it all factored into their big plans. And they go on and on and on...at least Cubi have a short enough attention span to drop stuff after a few minutes.
For what it's worth, I'm not really a mega-fan of Aniz going on and on, but it's unfortunately a necessity. If not only because if he doesn't explain some stuff, it's never going to get explained and then I'd get cranky peeps at me about how I left so much to unknown.

Oh, perish the thought! I like dialogue. I'm just amazed at how much has gone wrong because Aniz seems to be incompetent.
In the last two scenes alone, he's been surprised by Abel, surprised by Hennya and not realised that his son's freaked out, all of which should
not have happened because he is supposed to be a mind-reader (well, thought + emotion-reader, then). The conclusion that he's an idiot is difficult to avoid :B

Well to be truthful, most people seem to really overplay the whole thought/emotion-reading aspect on Cubi as if its some mega-radar that gives them insight to everything and everyone around them. It's not some form of dues-ex-powergama, and the vast majority of Cubi don't have it running 24/7 because it would just act more annoying than useful.
Abel in DMFA's normal canon for example will have it toned really down to avoid picking up most anything save for the loudest thoughts, or when he's in a situation that he feels warrents it. If he's in a conversation with someone, odds are he's going to be completely blocking your thoughts/emotions cause they bother him.

Yeah, I can see the logic behind that, but in both attack cases, I'm amazed he didn't pick up the sudden burst of hatred or anger etc as they commit to the attack. That's all he needed. He's in what appears to be a secluded cottage, so he's not going to need a mind-shield for crowd reasons.
Granted he might be trying to block out the spam from May's mind, but after Abel hit him he really should have been on the emotional lookout in case someone else decided to have a go... as they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...
I'll let you in on a secret: Aniz knew Abel was going to attack. He was more than prepared for that. His error was that Hennya went on instincts rather than reason when she attacked, thus there wasn't an emotional or thought-laden cue. And while he expected her to attack at some point, it threw him off guard and caused him to lose it temporarily.
He hasn't fully recovered. Not because of the actual attack or by injury, but more because losing his cool threw everything slightly off-balance. If he seems to be a bit off in his current speech with Abel, you would be correct as his mind is a bit elsewhere so he's not giving rational thought 100%. Ironically, if Abel was to launch an attack at this moment, it would be his best shot. :B
And that is all Amber is going to say on this thread.

As he was still 'playing' Cid at the time, it seeme to me that he would have been risking blowing his cover. Can morphed clothing be torn and removed without harming the 'cubi who morphed it on? Or can a 'cubi subsume worn clothing in to themselves when they morph so as to change the clothing's appearance?

Two words: PG13 rating.
I thought that perhaps his pants are real, but as Amber has said, 'Cubi can also morph stuff very close to them, and incorporate it. I figure, the shirt wasn't worth saving, but there was plenty of material in the pants to go towards his new set of clothes.

Hey, how about this: Why don't you post the original script below the image on the Abel page, or perhaps put a link to a text document containing all the information down at the bottom of the current Abel page - this would allow you to keep the comic relatively text-free, yet those of us(Tape, for example) who would love to read the extra information can.

And I'll format them better.
Edit: Done (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=3574.0)!
So this whole thing was a lesson of "Life sucks, deal with it"?? I could have come up with a better way to teach that lesson in my sleep! One that did without all the trauma! Oh, I am this close to going over to the 'KILL ANIZ' camp. Right now, I don't want anyone to kill him, I just want someone to smack him upside the head with a wet noodle to knock some sense into him. I swear, does he not know how painful this all is?? He must, he's a mind-reading Incubus!
Dammit Amber, bring back my illusions that everyone is basically good and get mislead into doing bad things!

... they're certainly more fun to play with. ;-]
Speak for yourself! ;)
Sooo... looks like I interpretted the artist correctly: Aniz lost his cool when Hennya attacked him and acted without thinking. (Remember, people, SAIA's purpose is, first and foremost, to teach its students how to
survive.)
As for Aniz not noticing that Abel's still in shock, just consider the events in the comic itself. Aniz is (a) healing a wound; (b) cleaning himself off; (c) materializing a whole new outfit for himself; (d) talking the entire time he's doing the previous 3. That has to take
some concentration, no? And that's not even including what Amber just revealed to us about Aniz' state of mind... No, I find this Saturday's update totally self-consistent.

'Life is fucking harsh and people only ever care about themselves. Have a Xanax.'
I think that would be a perfect commercial.

Splee! This is awesome! I want MORE! :eager
I have to say i'm in the KILL ANIZ camp and I would love to give Aniz a severe case of lead posioning right between his eyes. Aniz in a total psychopath and trying to teach Abel to go foward in life WTF? Just give me five minutes with Aniz and a potato peeler and super glue and a bowie knife and I will show you to go foward in life ANIZ! yeah I mean you mister self righteous knuckle head.

For what it's worth, I'm not really a mega-fan of Aniz going on and on, but it's unfortunately a necessity. If not only because if he doesn't explain some stuff, it's never going to get explained and then I'd get cranky peeps at me about how I left so much to unknown. On the plus side, you guys are actually getting the abridged short-speeches. Trust me, there is a lot of things I've had to cut already to keep this from getting too tex-laden.
Personally.. I like "Tex-laden" Comics.. as long as the text allows the reader to learn about whats going on...
Something I really hate is pages that really don't take the story anywhere, but are "pretty".. *shrugs* For me its about the story, or the funny, not the "Pretty"

I very much agree with you!
