Ah, and his class today is a perfect example of how shamlessly perverted we are. :boogie

Would that marking around the teacher's left eye be a clan marking? :U If so, neat!
On another note, does that blackboard say 'we are indestructabl(e)?'

That doesn't mean HE has to LOOK like one.... :P
But that's funny--he's USUALLY topless now, this was before he got used to that....
And shapeshifting--OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH....
Perverts right..BAHAHAHA XD
Sweet! Maybe we'll get some shapeshifting mechanics at work here! Or the point that Abel starts going shirtless. Either way, I'm behind this.
Wait, is she naked? And, actually, what kind of animal is she?

She looks like a cross between a tapir and a dragon.
I find it hilarious that able is worried about looking like a pervert when his teacher is buck naked, or perhaps that's the whole point

wait for the 32 hour mark, then you know it's good. :U
Is that really what she looks like or has she shape shifted her different bits all crazy like?
I find it interesting that the shapeshifting teacher has a clan mark on her eye. That would pretty much make it impossible to effectively disguise yourself.
Unless of course it's a fake clan mark, in which case it'd be easy to fool people who didn't know your secret. :U
Makeup can always cover it :U
Like how Abel painted Dan's mark.
I concur, Mink. I concur.
Hey, more heterochromia.
It seems as if it might be somewhat implied that Abel has been missing his classes? Either that, or didn't want to do the whole turning hair into clothing thing for himself.
... ... ...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! And he's worried about looking like a pervert.
Coincidence...Or convenience?
Hair to clothes and Wings to Armour?
I have got to learn how to do those.
I'm curious as to why he considers it perverted. I guess his old village was more on the strict side when it came to modesty taboos, but Devin tended to go open-shirt and Mev (?) wasn't wearing a huge amount at the funeral, and heck, Abel himself was only wearing sleeves and trousers at the time. I can't really imagine Zinvth being prudish given the larger number of winged types.

I mean if you shaped changed and fooled around with people minds and bodies would any prudish thoughts of of nudist taboo's or any other taboo run through your mind?

envious of you man, =p
also, shifting so your wings cover your entire body? I didn't realise that was was even possible. Opens up an entirely new arena of defence, and freaky sitations of nudity, judging by how the teacher said that a review was needed of making your hair into clothing
Clothing is overrated! Lookit me!

I think the blackboard says Wings are Indestructibl(e) or something along those lines. Although it looks like Amber might have tried to write with her teeth for the words on the blackboard. The whole Abel thinking that he looks like a pervert and then the teacher being nude is funny as heck.

I think the whiteboard says "Wings are indestructable" and "wrap n large 2 body" witch might be some kind of short hand for the wrapping around of the body.

Even if that isn't Ink (surely he isn't the only teacher on that subject?), remember this
is shapeshifting class. The teacher might look different every day — yesterday he might have been a Gryphon, tomorrow he might be a pygmy shrew, today he's... erm... I know, he's an Idunno! ;)
I notice Abel's already formed his dislike of 'Cubi-shapeshifting-as-masquerade, and the SAIA staff don't seem to mind too much.

The academy has been operating for about 6600 years at that point, in that time it's unlikely that Abel is the only one to have been burned in that manner. I expect it's a bit unusual but not unheard-of.

As a rule I'm not really into high fashion, which is why I tend to pick something that works and stick with it (if it were practical and acceptable to go around shirtless I probably would simply because it would be one less item of clothing to choose in the mornings).
However, the wing-armour thing would be awesome. This is certainly a class Dan should attend.

For me, I'd like the ability to shift into any anthro species I wanted, since I can never really decide which form would be best.

"So it could disguise itself as a pack of cigarettes?"
"No. Only an object of equal size."
"So why doesn't it become a bomb or something to get me?"
"It can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way. But it can form solid metal shapes."

I imagine that would probably do even worse to a 'Cubi >:3
So - If a cubi changed part of his body into clothing, would that clothing keep him warm and dry?
Only if it isn't raining. >:3
Hair does provide some warmth and protection against rain, until it soaks through. About like normal clothing. So, hair into clothes could probably work as well as normal clothes, since you don't care if your hair itself gets cold.
It also provides pretty decent sun protection.

Give me an example of that? I've never seen a cubi violating that law and remembered it. I remember this strip (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_516.php) talking about how they were masters of defying form and gravity, but never the law of conservation of mass.
Also, in terms of dragons, when they're in their smaller form, they're either very dense (like walking neutron stars in some cases), or their extra mass is stored in a pocket dimension, courtesy of their powerful natural magics.
Also I think I remember reading somewhere that Professor Ink, who can also shapeshift into walls and floors, was really an advanced ink-based T1000. It said he was a living puddle of ink, while a T1000 is basically a living puddle of liquid metal.
She's a bilby (http://australian-animals.net/bilby.htm) perhaps?

In strip 498, Aary turns into a feral poodle. In strip 291 she appears to have increased the size of her wings, particularly when she does the tentacle-attacks on Dan later.
Dark Pegasus is able to change the size of his wings according to his bio. He's not a 'Cubi, but if he can do it I doubt a properly-trained 'Cubi would have much trouble.
In 973, Dan's wings and tentacles have a combined area far greater than that in previous pages.
Granted, the Aary-poodle might be one of those cases where physics takes a back seat for the punchline, and granted some of it might be continuity errors, but it looks to me very much like they're able to add/remove mass at will.

I don't think it's going shirtless per se that makes him feel like he looks like a pervert, its the setting. Going open-shirt or shirtless is a casual fashion perfectly acceptable for adventuring or hanging out around town, and its possible that the "Half-shirtless" fasion exhibited at the funeral is symbolic of something or another.
However, Academies/Universities are considered classy establishments, where he presumed the extremely casual shirtless fashion would be unacceptable to wear to a class, about the same as prominently wearing a shirt that is obviously just an undershirt is socially frowned upon by our universities (particularly the more conservative ones). Fortunately, it seems this teacher is a strong reminder that there is absolutely no dress-code in SAIA, not even a "common sense" dress code.

Look closely at the rules. It says "no more than a month". Also, there's a warning when you post if it's older than two weeks.
If you really really must post, create a new thread with a link back to the old one. You'd better have something useful to add, however, otherwise the mods will just get bored with you, and deal appropriately.

I still say that this addition/reduction in mass due to either density fluctuation, or...
It might be rapid, magically induced cell reproduction and elimination.
Perhaps innate magics allow creatures like dragons and cubi to draw matter from the environment around them or from a separate pocket dimension to fuel rapid cell reproduction to increase their mass, and then kill off these cells and convert them back into raw materials in their pocket dimension for later re-growth.
Or maybe I'm just over-thinking things a little too much. XD

Orly? Who's says a T1000 can't fluctuate their density and add air pockets within themselves to vary their size?
They could even hide weapons within themselves that way.
Another creative way for them to add/remove mass would be to literally consume new metal and defecate slag...at least that's how my character that's based off a T1000 does it.

Granted they may be able to spread themselves out and get bigger and ingesting more of their substance might work, but the film (Terminator 2) quite clearly says that they are not capable of
reducing their size. Whether 'Cubi can do this is unclear, though Aary's poodle trick (if canon) would tend to suggest they can.
At the end of the day, the question was whether a 'Cubi or a T1000 would be a better shapeshifter, and to be blunt, I'd put more money on the magical one than the one which is coupled - at least in a token sense - to the laws of physics.

Well, the fifth terminator film will settle many of these questions once and for all, but from the hints I've heard dropped so far by James Cameron, they're essentially made out of metallic equivalents of living cells, so ingesting more metal would allow addition of mass.
And in regards to creating an artificial cubi, I've had plans for something like that long before reading DMFA, back when I was working out a machine super-intelligence that brainwashed organics and controlled them as an army through psionics.

Abel said that she taught rape, torture, and murder. He didn't say that she taught it to him. It depends on whether it was a required course. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_811.php)
I'm now fairly certain that both Aaryanna and Destania are dominatrices (plural of dominatrix).
And you know what's really creepy? What if Dan's father had a fetish for that sort of thing? What if that's why he married her?
Can you imagine him saying something like
"Yeah, come on, spank me, whip me, violate me with a broken wine bottle!"
*shudders* What if Dan walked in on that one time as a child? That could be why he has an odepian view of his mother (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_813.php). *shudders again* Both he and his father want to be dominated.
You're really reaching

Well, the fifth terminator film

:cry
:hug Shhhh... it's okay, it's okay. You'll always have the first two movies, right? No matter how bad the fifth movie is, it can never take away those memories.

Yeah, the fourth movie, despite it's phenomenal effects, sucks epicly, and I haven't even seen it yet, but I know it sucks because of the bad reviews its been getting and the fact that it doesn't have Arnold in it.
But hey, the fifth movie will at least have Robert Patrick in it, so it hopefully won't suck as much.
Also, what about the third movie and the TV series? What did you think of them?
A fifth movie? When did they make a fourth?

Yah.
T1 = Terminator
T2= Judgment Day
T3= Rise of the Machines
T4= Salvation
And the only constant in the movies is terminal retardation on the part of Skynet.
First movie: knows the target is Sarah Connor, but somehow forgets to get a record of what 'Sarah Connor' looks like, or her pre-pregnancy address. Terminator resorts to looking up the name in the phone book and killing everybody with that name. Of course he gets the wrong one a couple times, so it's not long before word gets out of a serial killer chasing women with the name Sarah Connor, which puts the one that counts on the run.
Second movie: Target is John Connor as a boy. This time Skynet remembers to get a visual dossier on the target, but its assassin spends most of its time in a shape that would immediately send John Connor, Juvenile Delinquent running in the opposite direction no matter what: a cop. Movie would have been over in the arcade scene if the T-1000 had thought for a second, shifted into the shape of 'some guy he saw in the hallway' (termination of the template is standard practice, but not required. The one time he forgets...is when he should have done so, as in just before impersonating Sarah in the steel mill), and advanced as if he was just coming over to ask if he could have a turn playing that game-instead of standing out by bulldozing kids out of the way. Likewise, there was no need to keep using the Robert Patrick shape once it was compromised.
Third movie: Target is John Connor as a young man. Seriously, WTF happened here? T-X should have been able to disable a mere T-800 series with ease. Ultra advanced artificial intelligence...built in arsenal of superweapons...complete schematics of the T-800 series, therefore including performance limitations and design flaws...can't shoot worth a damn.
Fourth movie: Target is Kyle Reese before he gets sent back in time. Using a super advanced model terminator that doesn't even know he's a terminator, and certainly doesn't know the reason for his creation is to kill Kyle Reese (in fact, he thinks he's a man who was executed for murder twenty years prior). The rest of the plotline here is so confused that you have to see it to believe it.

Give me an example of that? I've never seen a cubi violating that law and remembered it.
In strip 498, Aary turns into a feral poodle. In strip 291 she appears to have increased the size of her wings, particularly when she does the tentacle-attacks on Dan later.
Dark Pegasus is able to change the size of his wings according to his bio. He's not a 'Cubi, but if he can do it I doubt a properly-trained 'Cubi would have much trouble.
In 973, Dan's wings and tentacles have a combined area far greater than that in previous pages.
Granted, the Aary-poodle might be one of those cases where physics takes a back seat for the punchline, and granted some of it might be continuity errors, but it looks to me very much like they're able to add/remove mass at will.
I still say that this addition/reduction in mass due to either density fluctuation, or...
It might be rapid, magically induced cell reproduction and elimination.
Perhaps innate magics allow creatures like dragons and cubi to draw matter from the environment around them or from a separate pocket dimension to fuel rapid cell reproduction to increase their mass, and then kill off these cells and convert them back into raw materials in their pocket dimension for later re-growth.
Or maybe I'm just over-thinking things a little too much. XD
It's the latter, because it would be very hard to quickly assemble a trillion odd cells consciously.
Remember how Abel said that while you COULD use Magic to create something, it would still take about as much time and skill to do it yourself.
And so, creating life-even if it just adding onto themselves-would be nigh impossible, eh?

Dammit.
Why are the arms always folded, or the wings in the way or something like that?

As for the reason that the arms and wings are folded the way they are, I suspect that Pai-Gon (http://www.mabsland.com/Adoption.html) might have something to do with it. (http://www.mabsland.com/Pandas/Censor_PGb.gif)
I feel I should point out abel's story is PG-13. Not PG.
I guess we'll have to wait for the transition to DMNA: Dan and Mab's Naked Adventures.
(Although I'd rather not see the jaded, nasty Amber which would lead to such a thing.)
Haha.
"UGH! The nuclear war drove the price of gas up to 30$ a gallon! >_<"
*Massive fundraiser so the Amber can drive*
"Ughhh now I have to work on drawing *private* anatomy, what was I thinking?"
...Wait that sounds shockingly familiar to a certain Amber and a certain backstory (:V)
