The Clockwork Mansion

A very severe case methinks.

If the date confuses you, your amercian date system confuses me :(

Bwahaha!

Foot in mouth. Yes, indeedy.

This is why dogs hate cats.

Foot in mouth? FOOT? Stuff all feet in Furrae into his mouth, and it would still be the euphemism of the century!

This also puts his earlier interaction with her into perspective. Everything until that moment had just been fooling around among people whose lifespan is measured in centuries. She beats him up a bit, he jokes around some more... but this? This is Bad Stuff, and he knows it.

But seriously...DO NOT bring that subject with the big pink poodle

watch the next comic go back to Abel and us never see... nor hear... from Aniz again.

Aniz just made me want to mutilate him. Me, who was more or less on his side until now. Shame on you, Aniz. You have just made a new powerful enemy.

You're in trouble now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fa'Lina is secretly smiling now.
Now she can say what she wants, order what she wants: Aniz isn't going to bother her again.

Aniz is obviously his own worst enemy. He is also everybody's enemy.

And the last thing to go through Aniz's mind was:

A) "Oh ****!"

B) His teeth

C) Fa'lina's fist

D) All of the above...

sheesh, even Aniz realized his stupidity this time....  when he realizes his own screw up, you KNOW its gotta be bad.

E) his arse. ;-]

wot?

If she kills him, Abel is likely to find out at some point.  Despite what his father has done to him, finding out that he's been murdered by the person in charge of the Academy is unlikely to aid his psychological recovery, or his trust towards what he might consider to be his captors.

Eh-oh.  :<

Hope she doesn't kill him outright. It's pretty clear that Aniz didn't really mean that quite the way it sounded. On the other hand, killing him would feel rather cathartic right about now...

Either way, he'd &%^#ed. Yeah.  >:3

Those first two panels were some of the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm still cracking up.

Kick him in the groin so hard that he'll choke to death on his pelvis.

Yeah. He really needs to get his foot in mouth disease seen to.

Somebody: "Aniz is his own worst enemy."
Anybody: "Not while I'm alive."

With regards,

Well, they are somewhat funny, but when I saw them, I felt two things - hate and frustration. Aniz... Do everyone including yourself a favour. Remove your tongue. Don't make somebody else do it for you.

Which is why NATO wants four digit years and says that you should avoid using numbers for the month.  At least, we're not still debating between the Gregorian and Julian calendars.  (I'll take that back.  There are some people debating what should be considered George Washington's birthday since the British Empire was using the Julian calendar when he was born, as they considered the Gregorian calendar a Papist plot.)

SPOILER: Fa'Lina is the last of the Time Lords :U

Time to finish Aniz's obituary?

(pleasepleaseplease)

Well, Fa'lina can just tell some of his enemies where he is after he leaves SAIA.  That is always good.. or bad for Aniz.  And If he lives through that, he will still be waiting for Fa'lina to do somehting.

Better yet, Just teleport directly into a rival clan house naked (no weapons or clothes)....

:mwaha
PBH

I was under the impression that killing Aniz would be a political problem...

Well, shoot, I don't know what's going to happen now.

Much as I hate Aniz, though... I kind of identify with him at this precise moment in time.  Oops.

Quote from: Caswin on May 04, 2008, 07:23:26 PM

Yes.  I actually feel rather sorry for him at the moment.

Does Fa'lina have to think about her next punishment or is she just savoring the moment as Aniz dreads what's next after his foolishly insensitive comment? I don't recall hearing what her emotional affinity is. Considering what she's been doing to Aniz, it could be pain or fear.

Don't forget that Fa'lina is semi-omnipotent.. she probably was planning this from the start, I'f think. c.c

Poor foolish Aniz, I almost feel sorry for the guy..well not really.

I wonder just how long he'll live for now since he's broken an important rule and said something of disrespect to Fa'lina in person..Personally I think Abel should get to kill him..but that may just be me.

Okay

It seems the Taun's Clan is more powerful than the Jin's Clan and the Jinvth nation or clan, I am not sure, here.  I still say Fa'lina could still move a few pieces of her chessboard and put Aniz in a difficult spot with the Jin's clan nearby

Well maybe not, Fa-lina has to be an example to the Cubi race and not take direct action against Aniz on her own with the other clan leaders' permission.   

BTW HOW do the cubi deal with the crimial members of their race?

Given that 'Cubi seem to be very rare and spread out, I'm not sure how practical it would be for them to have a central authority like that, Creature Council aside.  More likely it just falls under the local jurisdiction.

Though infractions within a clan stronghold (if such exists) would presumably be dealt with as the clan's head sees fit.

*Charline snerks*  Bwah ha ha!  Aniz is even dumber than I ever could have imagined!  The only time I'd bring up something like that in front of Fa'Lina is when I'm about to spring my secret plot to seize control of SAIA!

*Charles uhms*  Isn't that plot supposed to be secret?

*Charline nods!*  And no one will suspect a thing!

*Charles nods slowly*  Suuure.  Not a thing.   ;)

Three thoughts on this comic:
A) Fa'Lina is about bust out with muffins and smiles. The big toothy smiles, mind you.
B) Aniz might very well be reason his clan is all but dead in the present point of the timeline.
C) Aside from the possible side twists of Fa'Lina smiling like like an insane killer offering sweats, I would like to second the theory that we will soon be cut to Abel's perspective again.

Oh freaking wow. Aniz is having the WORST case of "everything that comes to mind comes right out his mouth without stopping at the brain first" I have seen in a very long time. I hasn't even considered the idea of him saying something THAT stupid.

Admittedly, the likeliness of her letting him go because that comment affected her rather profoundly is almost as high as that of her killing him outright for the same reason. We'll have to wait and see. But still... freaking STUPID.

This'll be one of the moments he wished he never had.

Shadrok that be awesome man :P

Open mouth, insert foot, chew until tasty.

In all seriousness, whatever problems might be caused by Aniz's demise, I'm pretty sure Fa'Lina's willing to ignore them right about now.

"My name is Aniz, and this is the story of how Nike saved my life."

I think Aniz needs to take a lesson from Mr. Python (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ltmMJntSfQI) right now, and be very quick about it you "vacuous coffee-nosed malodorous pervert!" :P

hmm what will she do.

1:Fa'Lina will cry for his comment
2:she will punch him again
3:nothing

but mostly to ambers humor it will be a punch. im sure of that.
:tohell

There are fates worse than death :P I so doubt there's a 'death sentence' they probably just suck out souls or something.

Rumour has it that that sort of thing sparked the clan wars which decimated the population.  I would wager that 'Cubi -'Cubi soul-stealing is considered a very bad thing to do.

Now, if we look back to the Disasters arc, we see that Aary's answer to Dan allegedly committing murder is to kill him herself.

She can punch a man in the face hard enough to make his head explode. She is like Kenshiro from "Fist of the North Star". >:3

There are several different kinds of punches at Fa'Lina's disposal. So far we have seen only a "Correcting Punch".

As I recall, it wasn't the hardness of the punch that caused the head to explode in Fist of the North Star.  If it was, the head would have exploded immediately.  My understanding was that it triggered some sort of reaction in the body that resulted in the head exploding, the precise mechanism of which was unclear.  Wasn't it actually withdrawing his fist that caused the head to explode ten seconds later?

I sort of view Fa'lina as more the snap your fingers and cause a planet to explode as in Dragonball.  I would picture her as having a really spectacular "kiss of death".

Fa'lina's a Tri-Wing.  She could probably punch straight through a mountain.

She has achieved Super Cubiyan!   :U

Magical usage of pressure points, I believe the explanation was.

That's "toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert", actually.

You're welcome.   
(Stupid git.)


Otherwise - What an incredibly unnerving way to construct a comic:
Aniz going off like that, and us just left seeing the back of Fa'Lina's head.
Talk about an ominonous way to leave us at the end of a page. 
Amber's skill with serial art amazes me again.

Well... He's fucked

I am trying to piece together some ideas, and wanted to know what you think of them.

Could it be that Fa'lina is trying to rebuild her clan by having her students bring her being/cubi hybrids.  When Aniz referred to the look of the individuals, he could be referring to the looking like members of Fa'lina's clan.  That would also explain the portion where Fa'lina says that it is all her fault.  If she started the idea of former students bringing her replenishments for her clan (possibly in exchange for money or better grades), she would feel responsible for the resulting mess.

It would probably be much less of a hassle for her to start popping out her own pups, then to do that.. besides.. as we see with Abel, hes already got the mark of anther clan on him, Not sure if you can just "Change" clans or not tho...

Or she could start turningin Beings into Cubi ((I think I read that could be  done somepalce))

On a note: are we allowed to talk about *censored* information derived indirectly from *censored* pages even though they do not deal directly with *censored* details discussed therein? Because a lot of information on said *censored* is vastly relevant on the topic of *censored* being talked about here...

I suspect she can't.  It would explain the reason Fa'Lina is so obsessed about children (e.g. 730, not letting Dee kill children, and arguably founding the Academy itself as a haven for young 'Cubi) if she no longer has that ability herself.

I think not, although Amber would have the final word on that.

Since said pages have "do not discuss on pain of expulsion", I'd say as long as they have that, you're not allowed to discuss them.

On the other hand, if you have ideas developing from them, as long as you don't reference the pages or the details in them directly, merely inferentially, nobody has any reason to stop you.


It is, however, a very very fine line. Were I you, I'd be careful. ;-]

Oooh, Fa'Lina is pissed.  I hope Aniz doesn't loose his head at this point, because then Abel wouldn't be able to take out his aggressions on the guy!

Shadrock, that is a slice of animation brilliance right there. XD

I really doubt Fa'Lina's going to kill Aniz. She already recited the ramifications to such an act before, and isn't going to incur any sort of legal wrath, no matter how deserving Aniz is of a slow and painful mutilation-death. At the most, I think she's going to knock him unconscious or scare him witless in the next page.

Any frustration Aniz has at the moment, I think, he might take out on Abel. After all, he's proved he's incapable of learning from his mistakes or from having his stupidity beaten into his skull.

~Keaton the Black Jackal

hey, it doesn't KILL a cubi to cut off his headwings... maybe that's what dear Fa'Lina has in mind? whatever happens, i hope Aniz gets some fun non-lethal mutilation, because that was just LOW. even if he did apologize for it after, that was definitely a foot-in-mouth, chew-till-jugular moment.  :< poor Fa'Lina.

on the topic of censored pages, do we have a count? I've only been able to find one, so should i keep looking or is that all there is right now?  :eager

There's two. We're not allowed to mention them, though. *cough*
