Edit: Fixed. -- llearch
And this marks a new era of friendship between Dan and Abel...
I thought there was just gonna be a thunder storm via angry Alexsi, since Abel damaged the inn.
But THIS - oh sweet god... please... please let Abel have just hit a sharp object of some sort. Dear god... no no no no no.
Or at least let Abel know some healing magic!

Didn't Dan say waaaaay back that if anyone was gonna beat the crap out of and or kill Pip, it would be him?
And what exactly did Pip know?!
...
Whoops.
Well, let's see how our little Drake pulls through. This MIGHT be exactly what Pip was planning.
As fans wage in anger XD

According to DMFA episode 153 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_153.php)... Dan is the only one who has dibs on killing that evil hellspawn.
Personally with all the indiscriminate biting, attacks and so forth, Pip kinda had a really big karmic debt to be paid.

Oh hell.

And yeah, that is DEFINITELY worse.... :erk What's happened to Pip? (Not that he didn't deserve SOMETHING....) And what does he know that Abel doesn't?
<.<

I think some fashion-apt cubi will get shiny bracelets from Mab
Or Mab will immediately notice Pip's just been stabbed, and go down to get him back in one piece immediately.
If he's dead.
(edit)Also, it occurred to me that this is the kind of thing that'd happen in Abel's Story.
As for what Pip knows, I think it involves Devin.
Not worried.

The two are converging....
....WEll this is going to turn out interesting.... Pass the popcorn.
Also I want to suspect taht this is all just a dream or Pip Messing with Abel in said dream (somehow) but I would assume a Cubi with Abel's level of training would notice...
I'm one of those ones who, from a personal stand point, can't stand Pip. Character wise he's an excellent character, but I view him the way I would a villain. So at this point I'd like to burst into uproarious applause and cheering. Go Abel go whoooo!!!

Guess this fight is a win-win scenario!

Honestly, I dont know why Abel bothers with battle if he's only going to hurl at the first draw of blood.
Rage can say "To hell with that."
And both his parents had a temper on them. You can't be too surprised.
Now for some projectile vomiting like in "The Exorcist" ...
I just thought of something.........since Abel in his fit of rage is using his wing tentacles to punch holes into the floor as he's chasing after Pip, couldn't he have maybe gone through the floor far enough to maybe hurt one of the rats that live down there......... :eek

Next, Alexsi and others (Pyro, rats, Gen... who else is around?) may show up asking what all the noise is... and find Abel on the verge of (or already) being sick.
I'm sure Pip isn't dead, Abel didn't do a multi-slice La Machine (http://missmab.com/Comics/Abel_99.php) attack, just a poke. He just needs some healing, I'm sure Abel must have learned at least a little at SAIA.
1. Nooooooooooo, not Pip! This is too horrible. :crying
2. Let's hope things get better. Pip's an inportant caracter and Amber loves them, she can't just kill Pip of... can she? :(
3. If things don't turn out well, let's just hope it's Aniz. >:3
On a side, note I think pip is reffering to this (http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_013.php).
PS: At least tomorow is regular update, so we won't be left whit this cliff hanger, in stead well hopfully get one that isn't so sad.
PPS: What is it whit Amber puting every one in mortal danger latly. First Dan (then santa (http://missmab.com/Comics/HJ_03.php)) and now Pip
unfortunately only one thing comes to mind upon sing this comic, and that is in the immortal words of south park.

She can, she so can, and I hope to god she does. Stupid yellow vermin. I was thinking about it and realized why I dislike Pip so freaking much. He reminds me of two particular female anime characters I hate, Naru and Kagome. Both are characters who, for seemingly no reason whatsoever at times, abuse the hell out of one specific character yet suffer absolutely no consequences for it. Pip is that character in DMFA. He attacks Dan on a constant basis, yet is treated as the cute adorable thing.
Hate that stupid little drake.
Hmm it may seem that Pip wasn't a qualified tank after all, squishies shouldn't get aggro like that unless the mob has low health. Heh things are getting interesting it seems.
Quote from: Netrogo on March 13, 2010, 04:36:50 AM
Garsemor:What Netrogo said
I can see your point, but don't forget that Pip was only attacking Dan as part of Mabs plan, but do you hate her for it? Also, no one deserves death, and the comic wouldn't be the same whit out him, just imagine all of the strips and remove Pip from them, there goes about a sixth of the fun.
I can understand your disliking of Pip but I my self feel sad for Pip now and hope he survives.
I can't say I like Pip much myself, but killing him is a bit harsh. Though it has to be said I'm a bit more concerned for Abel at the moment, being that Pip is friends with a Fae, and that Alexsi is going to go ape when she sees the state of the Inn. Also that he's gone on a rampage is unlikely to sit well with any patrons.

or will mab revive him. and tell him he shouldnt anger cubu anymore. :bunny
Allright, time for Abels Hemiphobia to kick in, in 3..2..1..go!
Seriously, I think Pip let him get a hit in so he could capitalize on Abels hemophobia.
He seems just that calculating and bastardly!

This.
Also, Abel will be ill or an angsty woobie, and trouble will be had with his damage to the bar and to Pip. (I see Tape covered that. You're making me agree with you again. :b)
Abel can't have nice things.
Belated (For yesterdays) but guess I was right about clocking he mentioned Abel's last name. Pip is certainly a swift and flexible little bugger isn't he?
I'm more and more suspious that as someone stated before, Pip is trying to force Abel to confront at least some of his issues and certainly be eaiser if he's distracted by his blood phobia.
Given the size and shape of Pip, I suspect the crunch is probably a broken wing. Of course if Pip is really a disguised Fae, there's no telling what will happen. If the latter case is true, I have to suspect that this was more-or-less what Pip was trying to achieve in the first place.
Alternatively, someone else just entered the room and took a hit that Pip had dodged ... which opens up all sorts of possibilities.
Some possibilties :
Nutmeg : "Nutmeg pointy .. again?"
Mab : "Aww, I just wanted a hug."
Fa'Lina : *blink* *blink* "I can bleed?"
Dan : "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU ABEL???"
Pyroduck : "Ok, I thought we had this sorted out with the vorpal dagger?"
Alexia : "STOP! Hammer time!"

Maybe, though Pip does stop in mid-word just as the crunch happens.
I think Abel's hemophobia is the last thing on his mind right now; more he just realized what he's done. Considering it cut Pip's dialogue off mid-sentence, I suspect a broken spine or something equally fatal. There's no way that didn't rouse somebody from their bed; it'll be interesting to see who comes down first:
Alexsi: wanting to kill him for the damage to the Inn, then seeing a dead Pip.
Mab: wanting to kill him for the dead Pip, causing further damage to the Inn.
Genesis: (hungover) "I knew there were cubi here!"- yet more damage to the Inn.
Pyroduck: see Alexsi

I wonder how would he kill a fae !?
Besides, Pyroduck already pwned him with little effort once...
EDIT: The main thing i like about this is that it gives "more power" to the theory that abel is not as wussy as he is showing now, that being the result of him losing drive once done with revenge
I really hope this is all part of Mab's master plan and Abel didn't just hurt a fae's pet/friend/whatever. That'd end great for you, Abel. Real great.
It doesn't surprise me, though. Has Abel had to face his daddy issues since starting at Saia? He probably wouldn't have even heard the name, and it seems like he ascribes to the philosophy of ignoring your problems and allowing them to fester.
Quote from: Drathorin on March 13, 2010, 09:17:33 AMI'm glad everyone loves the new murdering Abel.
Because everyone in Lost Lake will suddenly know about Abel's past well enough to play up on his deepest-buried, most severe issues and will choose to do so even after what he did to the drake. Abel has a bit of a temper, but he doesn't get that unhinged that easily. I don't support what he did- but Pip brought up severe emotional trauma and a whole host of negative and painful emotions which I highly doubt Abel has made
any attempts to work through. Abel should have worked through them, that's his fault, but that doesn't make him a heartless murderer who will snap at the mildest thing.
How is this any different than Dan and Regina (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_973.php)? I'll tell you: Abel managed to get a hit in, Dan didn't. That is the
only difference- Dan had every intent to destroy her (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_974.php). Abel was only lashing out at someone who was purposefully causing him extreme mental pain at that moment. Did you call Dan a murderer for wanting to destroy Regina? Did you imply that he was going to go on a rampage, killing everyone at Lost Lake? More importantly:
Did he? No. He did not.
Dan, as an adventurer, has probably killed more creatures than Abel ever will, simply because it's his job. Even if we don't know that for sure, we do know that he's killed Dark Pegasus alone several times. We've yet to see Abel do the same. The worst he's done? "I'm not touching you (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_584.php)." Merlitz attacked him from behind and without (real) cause and all Abel did was put him in a position where he couldn't attack any more and proceed to tease him. I don't think he so much as scratched Merlitz, just put some holes in his sleeves.
How is
Abel the murderer?
Not only that- but we don't know what happened. For all we know he hit something decidedly
not fatal on Pip and the drake stopped afterwards out of sheer shock that he was actually hurt. When's the last time anyone managed to land a serious hit on Pip? Not only is he good at dodging-
he's been traveling with a fae. People don't mess with fae.

Actually, there's another important difference - the meeting between Regina and Dan was an accident. Pip deliberately brought this upon himself.
While I don't support what Abel is doing here, Pip has had it coming for a long, long time.
]Hmm, not sure that is the case - there is some difference for killing someone for being an asshole (abel) or killing someone for being a threat (regina,DP)
Read what Fi says here (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_935.php) it's true!
Am I the only one who feels sorry for Pip and actullay doesn't wish him dead?
I seriously doubt it but if Pip's actually dead.... I will crap gold bricks.
Till then, we get to watch Abel either pass out, or empty his stomach.
I'm actually on the fence on this one.... If Amber does kill off a major character, she'll be one of the few web-comic artists that has some major Stones. (one of the few, please don't fap all over your knowledge of obscure web-comics).
On the other hand... Pip is the ONLY villain in the comic that I actually like.
I don't wish him dead (then again, I have a soft spot for all things draconic), but I also have a hard time believing that he is dead. I have the nagging suspicion that the next page is going to be a full-page spread of Pip rising slowly from the floor, saying something along the lines of "How rude... you got blood on my suit scales. And just as I was about to tell you, too. Such a shame, really. Now how will you ever find out?"
Plus, people can cut off in the middle of a word because of shock, surprise, or sudden pain, too, not just death.

Frankly, I doubt he is dead. But to answer your question, I don't particularly want him to die. I felt the same way about Regina, Aniz, Abel (who was the target of most peoples' ire just after the bat incident) and even Devin (again, people disliked him when he first appeared).
But as was the case with Regina - and now Pip - I do feel that they are/were in need of a somewhat harsh life lesson.
'Course, Pip will now probably crawl away all "I'm telling Mab..."

I like it how you so strongly dislike Regina that you mention her twice.
Hmm what bat incident do you mean? As far as i remember ,so far the only thing he did was pinning down merlitz and giving several cohabitants mental disorders ??
I don't know - besides Aniz, i have not that much of a wishing of death to any of them. Sure it will come naturally with them getting enough enemies, and sure i will be laughing at the process, but they are kind of sympathic characters as is.

I honestly don't think he's dead, and I don't wish him dead, either. I'd be pretty put off if he died unless Amber handles it
really well. (I'm sure she can, but you can also FUBAR the heck out of something like this)
I just don't like the idea of Abel being called a murderer when other characters have done worse, and we don't even have proof that anyone's dead or seriously wounded.
I'm not even convinced Pip's been hit. The only reason I think he might is because he stopped talking- but for all we know Abel smashed a bottle of tomato juice or something like that and his phobia is coming into play now. If paint can work up his fear of blood (which can stop him in his tracks)- so can tomato juice/sauce/whatever.

As I recall it - and I'd have to check the Nice archives to be sure - it took a long time to work out that Abel was actually putting himself out to keep Dan reasonably happy. It wasn't until about strip 529 that people even started to wonder about it as I remember. After all, he beat Dan up, threatened him, destroyed his robe and dragged him away to be tortured by a sadistic doctor...

You might be, but that's because you don't have brain damage.
Wow, you guys sure get worked up easy.
First off, I think Pip was trying to tell Abel something. Sure, he's being a bit of a jerk but then, Abel is a jerk.. to everyone. Constantly. He too often has a reason. Most folks very quickly seem to have lost sight of this in their cries for the blood/punishment of Pip. Some of you are going so far as to make claims about Pip's behavior should he survive, with nothing to really base it on, working only to attempt to 'demonize' him so that you can feel better about protecting your little 'cubi wubby who does the exact same thing that Pip just did, except all the time. Beyond that, your little wubby there just attacked something much smaller than him and that had made no initial attempt to even fight back after his first attack and subsequent attacks. Abel simply plugged his ears and started lashing out wildly at something that was saying 'mean things he didn't want to hear'. Very worth defending.
Well, you *might* get your wish for Pip's death. If so, I kind of doubt he'll be dead for long. He *is* kinda a major character.
...Frankly, I'm astonished Abel was so easily baited. You'd think he'd have gotten poked at least once or twice about the matter whilst at SAIA. I guess one could argue that he's already lost his temper because of Wildy, though.
Abel might be decent at being a Cubi, but as far as life goes? He's got a LOT to learn.
Point of note: injuries don't have to be fatal to make someone stop talking. I could go into explaining pain tolerances and pain thresholds... But in short, if the injury takes you by surprise, chances are you'll be distracted enough to stop talking, if only for a bit.
I'm actually expecting a situation closer to this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_866.php). Abel may just have angered Pip enough for him to not bother finishing his sentence.
I'm sure the fact Abel is used to fighting cubi doesn't help here... He's probably used to, every time his anger gets riled, fighting an opponent who's on roughly even ground ability wise. Even Dan could do the same thing Abel's doing- and he hasn't trained at all. So that might explain the overreaction... Not that explaining makes it okay, but yeah.
I predict Abel having a major breakdown after this, no matter what happens to Pip. Hopefully he'll actually face his issues for it. And, again, I don't think Pip is seriously getting hurt. Certainly not enough to die. I'm pretty sure that he can take care of himself.

The only people we know know about Aniz are Destania (hates him as much as Abel does) and Fa'lina who's semi-omnipotent enough to choose whether or not to try and make him face his issues and sympathetic enough to decide not to. Abel was probably poked regarding his clan enough to get over any issues he has there- which is probably why he doesn't seem to care about people seeing the symbol- but I doubt he was poked enough to get over his daddy issues if he has that kind of reaction to his last name.
Abel needs some serious therapy.
QuoteI'm actually expecting a situation closer to this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_866.php). Abel may just have angered Pip enough for him to not bother finishing his sentence.
The difference is that Dan wanted to hear what Biggs was going to say. Abel doesn't want to hear this. He doesn't want to hear his father's name, he doesn't want to hear his name, he doesn't want to face anything involving this. I really doubt Abel cares what Pip was going to say- even if it was something vitally important. If Pip tries to continue telling him, there's no guarantee he'll listen. :/
...oops?
Somehow I still doubt that Abel is actually fighting Pip here. We all should know that Cubi are shapeshifters by now, and possibly Abel knows that even better.
On the other hand, we can only speculate if drakes can really talk. Maybe Abel knows for sure that they can not, which would immediately lead him to the assumption that he is not facing Pip.
I do not know if Cubi can shift into smaller-sized beings, but first I suspected Aniz in disguise, which would explain Abels violent reaction. Unless he is holding old grudges we know nothing of, I think Abel is still far too sane to suddenly snap and mess up Pip.
A hint is possibly Abel asking "Who are you". He would know Pip well enough not to ask him such a question, I daresay. However, this would count as an argument against Pip being actually Aniz, because apparently Abel is convinced that Pip is not himself here, but not convinced that he is his father... well, probably the classic Star Wars moment has been used too often anyway.
Okay! I have my theories!
#1 Abel squished Pip's tail or wing. :U
#2 Pip may have bitten Abel? Doubt it but I wouldn't be surprized. Pip is known for biting things. :)
#3 Abel really did squish Pip and it will not end well. 'A'

Frankly, I doubt he is dead. But to answer your question, I don't particularly want him to die. I felt the same way about Regina, Aniz, Abel (who was the target of most peoples' ire just after the bat incident) and even Devin (again, people disliked him when he first appeared).
There are characters people love to hate. They would be sorely missed if permanently killed off.

Well, you *might* get your wish for Pip's death. If so, I kind of doubt he'll be dead for long. He *is* kinda a major character.
This is more or less what I was thinking. However, especially after #1035 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1035.php) blindsided my whole perception of the comic, these are the directions I'm seeing:
1. Pip isn't that badly injured, and things are returned to more or less status quo. (Pip either finishing his thought or letting it hang there and teasing us with backstory optional.)
2. Pip's had it. This is where things start coming loose and tumbling into a chaotic, world-changing snowball of storm and war and gazebos 'cross the land.
Of course, this is Amber we're talking about, so...
Man, I was just gonna berate Amber to leaving such a cliffhanger, but now I see a number of possibilities...
1: Abel hit a can of tomato juice. (He's in a bar, it's highly possible.) But, since Pip was cut off in mid-sentence, I doubt it.
2: While I don't want to see Pip dead, I won't be adverse to seeing him get hurt, and possibly taken down a couple pegs as a result. Besides, if things get any more serious in this comic, we'll NEED the comedy relief.
3: Yet another possible moment of character growth for Abel where he learns that reacting with violence can end with regrets that haunt him for the rest of his life? I hope so, otherwise "he'll be just like his father"... (Dammit, I though there was a Star Wars quote for this, but I can't find it...)
4: Mab will be/is involved. (That reminds me, Amber still hasn't shown us who the Big Bad is, yet... Or maybe she has...)

Quote from: Ry on March 13, 2010, 10:20:13 AM
I'm not even convinced Pip's been hit. The only reason I think he might is because he stopped talking- but for all we know Abel smashed a bottle of tomato juice or something like that and his phobia is coming into play now. If paint can work up his fear of blood (which can stop him in his tracks)- so can tomato juice/sauce/whatever.
When stressed, blood-like substances can also induce his haemophobia.
There is no open wound on Abel's tentacle that would suggest a bite, as that would potentially be too graphic for PG rating, and following that statement Pip is suspiciously off screen at the time blood is introduced. This does suggest contact.
(Neither does there exist any concrete evidence of Abel hurting himself, considering how all his other tentacles are fine and bloodless despite having broken through the floor and potentially coming into contact with splinters and jagged broken wood.)
There is also no evidence of there being remodeling in the pub last I checked, and Abel is quite clean about his workplace, so there is no reason why there is paint or condiments on the pub floor. Besides which, the latter two would have completely soaked Abel's hand or put tomato residue on it, not creating characteristic blood splatters.
The blood splatter tells me the tentacle slammed onto some decently sized part of Pip most likely being the lower back somewhat above the base of Pip's tail. (The panel immediately before had Pip turning his 'back' on Abel.) The blood originated from under the tentacle, coming upward, splitting some ways on the tentacle. The pattern might suggest that the tentacle was in an L shaped bludgeon before recoiled back to Abel in a relaxed position, with only the base making contact with Pip.
Judging by how soaked the tentacle is from bottom to the highest part before the blood splits, I'd say the wound is deep enough to potentially lay bare and/or crush internal organs considering the comparable force of a wing tentacle being capable of breaking through the floor akin to a sledgehammer.
(Strength/durability reference: http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Abel_99.php [MA warning, Abel Story], where the tentacles are blades capable of slicing through bone, muscle, skin and internal organs without so effortlessly as to show off clean cuts.)
Then again, much to the joy of well wishers, I could be wrong. Just tossing this out there.
Pass the popcorn.
No, not for the strip, for this thread! :mowtongue

It wouldn't surprise me if they can. And if they can't, then Mab is almost definitely involved in this. I highly doubt she'd fail to realize that the "Pip" who could speak wasn't her friend if he was an impostor. Either way I think she might be involved.
Oh- I just remembered when Mab (and Pip) and Fa'lina had a talk- I'll bet that Fa' is involved as well, then, and that's where Pip is getting his info. I really think that this entire thing was 100% itentional, and it's likely that Abel was supposed to react like that.

It's hard to tell. If he doesnt' know that drakes can talk or thinks no one at lost lake (including Pip) would know anything about his past- then he'd suspect it was an impostor whether or not he is. He isn't necessarily picking up on any morphing magic/etc.
Quote from: AmigaDragon on March 13, 2010, 11:57:45 AMYes he did... after the chase (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_980.php).
Ah, right. I think that further supports the idea Pip isn't that hurt. A similar attack didn't even break Regina's skin, and I don't believe undead are inherently less harmable (could be wrong), they can just reattach themselves. Even if undead are more resilient- drake scales are pretty strong, right?
I really think that, even if he managed to hit Pip, he didn't break the skin, the "blood" is from something else.
Quote from: Drayco84 on March 13, 2010, 12:12:33 PM1: Abel hit a can of tomato juice. (He's in a bar, it's highly possible.) But, since Pip was cut off in mid-sentence, I doubt it.
It might be that he hit Pip, hence Pip cutting off, but not enough to do serious harm, and also hit a thing of tomato stuff (maybe grazed pip's cheek and didn't pull back before hitting the juice). The shock of being hit, even if it didn't hurt, could make him stop in his tracks.
Quote3: Yet another possible moment of character growth for Abel where he learns that reacting with violence can end with regrets that haunt him for the rest of his life? I hope so, otherwise "he'll be just like his father"... (Dammit, I though there was a Star Wars quote for this, but I can't find it...)
I expect Abel to have a
serious break down after this. I think being "just like his father" is one of his greatest fears. Realizing that he reacted the same way his dad did with Henya should cause some serious, and much needed, introspection.
Quote4: Mab will be/is involved. (That reminds me, Amber still hasn't shown us who the Big Bad is, yet... Or maybe she has...)
If Mab wasn't involved in orchestrating this- she will be involved soon (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_293.php).

Who said anything about it being on the floor? Abel is
smashing through things everywhere. It's totally possible that he smashes through a cupboard/wherever they keep such things and smashed a tomato thing or causing a container of red stuff to fall on the tentacle, splattering his tentacle in the process. It doesn't even have to be tomato junk- it could be anything that's red, including syrup or whatever else.
I love how Amber's only commentary on this was "Ooooh, me so sleepy."
Seriously though... this is probably the most major event in the entire comic, assuming it is in fact Pip that was hit. Jeez, even if the hit did travel through the floor and hit a rat instead it would be a major turning point.
Dangit, Williams, you're not supposed to kill off the cute comic relief! WAI!?!!?!?
... I wonder if that look on Abel's face means regret, relief, or fear... Not only does his expression change, he clasps his hand over his chest. That's interesting emoting for someone who was just hellbent on killing someone.
QuoteWho said anything about it being on the floor? Abel is smashing through things. It's totally possible that he smashes through a cupboard/wherever they keep such things and smashed a tomato thing or causing a container of red stuff to fall on the tentacle, splattering his tentacle in the process.
And the reason why I assumed Abel was hitting the floor is because he was doing exactly that during his 'rampage' panel. (There were no tables in his path, suggesting to me that they were both moving out into the open.) Unless they were both headed towards the kitchen I doubt there are cupboards out on the open area of the pub where people congregate. But let's say you're right, it still falls into the argument I presented that paint or condiments can't create little rivulets characteristic of blood's tendency to want to form circular splatters.
Maybe not paint or condiments... but red wine might. I can see it now... Alexsi coming downstairs (probably with her mallet in tow) to find out what's causing the ruckus, and then... "MY COUNTERS! MY FLOOR! MY PINOT NOIR!" Cue carnage.
Maybe getting Abel fired is part of Pip's grand plan. :P
Quote from: Tapewolf on March 13, 2010, 06:55:24 AMOf course if Pip is really a disguised Fae, there's no telling what will happen.
Huh. Interesting. My second thought on seeing this strip was that maybe Pip is a fae-drake, hence his ability to talk and association with Mab.
I can still accept that he's Mab's pet-drake who went and got all magic-upgraded, though.
Quote from: Tapewolf on March 13, 2010, 04:49:03 AMThough it has to be said I'm a bit more concerned for Abel at the moment, being that Pip is friends with a Fae, and that Alexsi is going to go ape when she sees the state of the Inn. Also that he's gone on a rampage is unlikely to sit well with any patrons.
Especially and
specifically not Dan, the ex-adventurer. I can imagine Dan's reaction, "I
knew it! I knew all 'cubi were evil and that you were only putting on an act, Abel, to try and make me one of you!"
Quote from: Nyomi on March 13, 2010, 02:50:58 AM
As for Abel's temper, it unfortunately comes from his father. Anyone reminded of this?

And that was my first thought on seeing this strip.
Accompanied by a sickening sinking feeling that these 4 words might be in the next strip, uttered by Pip before falling unconscious (or, if you prefer, dead):
"Like ... father ... like ... son..."

I do not think there IS a big bad- there is creature council, Jyrras, Cubi clans, dragons ....
everyone more or less powerful and trying to further their agenda (in Jyrras's case , unknowingly)

Previously, I'd have agreed. If Abel was doing this to a random patron, I'd still agree.
But now that Dan has done exactly this to Regina, I don't think he can still cling on to that theme.
(Especially given that Abel's target is a drake that Dan himself has had fights with for years.)
I don't think it would be too much out of character for him to try and talk Abel down, all the while going "s..., Alexsi's going to kill us for this..."
Also.. seeing this from the perspective of a troll.. Pip knows a lot about Abel. He probably knows about your spotted love interest's problems with the sight of blood or things that look like blood during duress and could be using it to his advantage.

He was most likely just using his tentacles subconsciously back then, without reshaping them from heads to somehting sharp, even.
Regina is not undead she is demoness.
Whereas Abel is 12x as old as dan at least, and the cast page says he was one of the best students back at academy (and seemingly did not fly out of battle tactics like Aary)

What? In what sense is trying to kill a longstanding enemy who nearly killed your friends (not to mention 12 other fellow beings) the same as trying to kill someone because you have "issues"??
Both of them lost control and went tentacular on someone. That's the similarity I'm getting at, not the historical reasons for wanting to do it, which are basically irrelevant to my argument.
Dan was previously trying to deny he was a 'Cubi at all. He meets Regina - by accident, remember - gets hit by a glass and goes into a full-blown 'Cubi rampage. Remember, Dan hates magic, doesn't know how to shapeshift and has shown very little desire to learn how to control his abilities - this isn't the sort of thing he'd choose to do, he simply lost it.
Abel has been provoked by someone who has spent most of their life provoking Dan. Abel - not for the best of reasons - has also lost it and got into a full-blown 'Cubi rampage, albeit with considerably better control over his abilities than Dan had.
What I'm saying is that Dan is hardly in a position to think that Abel is plotting to turn him into a monster, when he's experienced something very similar to what Abel appears to be going through.

I dunno but being in a fight with someone who you can barely beat (previously) and passionately hate s exactly the time to unleash everything you can do ...
Also dan not so much hates magic as it has bad associations in his mind, due to the accident that happened with the rock.

Hmm, the same thing has happened in QC forums over some comics too, except that there was not so much important happening in the strip itself....
Not anything against DMFA, in fact it has become my favourite comic (ousting QC and XKCD from shared position 1) but this is more of an effect of internet-induced stupidity than the story itself
Still not worried.

No no, I said you were brain damaged for wanting pip dead for teasing Abel.
There's a difference.
Ohhh I see, this was a misunderstanding. I don't want Pip dead because of the Abel teasing, I don't care about that. I've wanted Pip gone since before that, I just don't like his character in general. I said earlier in the thread it was because his behavior generally reminds me of two other characters I can't stand (Naru and Kagome from Love Hina and Inuyasha respetively). He can tease Abel all he wants. If anything Abel killing Pip will actually make me an Abel fanboy, but otherwise I don't give two ****s about Abel.

I've read them. As far as I'm concerned this thread was not only flamebait but was rapidly devolving into a flamewar. I think I'm entitled to see that direction in the thread and run with it as that, in this case, was part of the natural flow of the conversation.

After reading this thread I started pondering the possibilities of what happened. Then I started thinking of why Abel was making that face at the person that he may have hit, rather than the blood on his tentacle (weak evidence I know, but it helps plausibility I think). I now believe it is plausible that the person who was "Pip" was an impostor. And he is making that surprised face because the impostor is possibly someone he knows. Someone that already knows all this information about him, that may have been close to him. I know this possibly has been mentioned before, but I would like to make an official statement of my own. Also I don't usually speculate like this, but i thought it might help us get back on topic maybe? Also regardless of what happens, the story shall still indeed be interesting. I'm very intrigued at the new turn of events myself.

I disagree, and besides the whole thing seems to have been a misinterpreting of what someone else had said.
wait didn't mab say she knew that 2 of her friends were going to die? I'm pretty sure you could count Pip as one of her friends. So maybe Pip really IS dead. :U sorry is someone else already posted this theory, didn't read through the 5 pages of comments. :P
Edit: well poop. just saw now that some had posted this theory just a few posts ahead of me >_>" i should really at least read the last page more often :P
*suspects that this is intentional on Pip's part as a part of an attempt to alter Dan and Abel's relationship*
no, not that kind of rela- you know what? Fine. Never mind.
"I know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop! AND *YOU* NEVER WILL! MUAHAHAHAHAA-*SCRRNRCH*"
Ok, I'm bringing in a new theory:(it's probably wrong) Pip here is in reality Dan. *Hides from Dan fans* :baghead (don't shoot I like Dan)
Oh and about the tomato sauce theory: it's not necessarily impossible, maybe the sauce stained some curtains and they got scared of what Alexsi would do to them.

well, if someone beat someone else to death i dont think the first thing they'd lay eyes on would be whatever they used for beating. it would probably be the body.
that being said i hope Pip survives to gnaw Dans head again.

Okay..
WILD SPECULATION TIME
Abel's shocked expression isn't exactly because of what he's done to Pip.
It's because what he sees is something else.
You see, whatever dead, injured or disabled condition Pip is in, Abel can now see his TRUE form. Pip is actually a large draconic Pyroduck.
Think about it - ever see them both in the same room?
(Probably happened, but I'm too lazy to remember or look.)

Yeah because instead of pinning him down and talking sense to him, it is best to shift into the form of a helpless bug dragon, and get pwn3d talking to him....
Ooo, more of Rafe's
WILD SPECULATION TIME
Along the lines of the last post, Abel sees what Pip really is...
He isn't another character disguising himself - he's not even a living creature, he's a puppet-like creation controlled by Mab.
You see, all along, Mab, who is usually so outwardly sweet and understanding (although she does slip occasionally), has a foul and obscene temper, and the only way she gets to vent it is through her ventriloquist's dummy, Pip. She can attack Dan, piss off Abel, get into drunken joke-telling with drakes, all the time keeping her innocent, friendly image.
You know she could do it. Her parents were the same way, destroying restaurants and all during arguments. It's her inner fae deviousness at work.
Ooh I like Rafe's Idea of Pip being a puppet.. I mean we've all played video games before. People get posessed and change forms. :erk... okay so maybe that was a bit far. :B Anyways. Pip can't die. :< He's like the little yellow comic relief!
I do not believe Pip can "die."
Here's what I think, Pip isn't a Drake per-say obviously. He's a Fae forced to play a different role.
From what I have seen over time the Fae use Furrae as their place to role play. Just on a massive scale sometimes. Friendships and alliances can be real but only occurred because they were bored and decided to go forth and play a role.
Mab isn't just a random adventurer role such as Azlan, she's more like a GM that likes to play in their own little instance. The boons seem to be some strange little penance for "playing the game" so to speak or just one of the few basic rules of the Fae. Pip refused/couldn't fulfill his and was forced to become something else.(1026) (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1026.php) While a Fae can't die until they decide to, and have not shown to bleed, doesn't mean his role didn't force certain characteristics on him. "Upon the player's character's death s/he will have the option of taking on a new character role, not of their choice, or to sit the remainder of the game out." Pip simply likes to play "the game."
If Mab had "done the same as Pip" she would probably just removed herself from play one way or another and still be pulling strings in the background. This leaves fewer options to remedy unforeseen situations though, direct intervention no longer being an option.
As for Abel's reaction, he did hit Pip, the "Pip" character is dead, and today will have been one of Abel's worst days ever.
Either all of that ^ or if he hit Pyroduck somehow, I'm willing to bet his Dragon name is Cain.
PS. I do like Rafe's puppet idea but I'm sure he mentioned it in jest. :)

Any suggestions on who? Aniz seems like the most logical option. I can't think of anyone else with that kind of magic that we know Abel knows and we know knows about Abel's past.
Devin is undead, so doesn't have that power, and forgot about his past life so that's unlikely. It doesn't seem like Fa'lina. It
could be Mab but that seems unlikely to me. Maybe it's someone with a patch... But generally they're wearing something. "Pip" also reminds me of the way Aniz was acting when he was at Saia.
It could be a new character... but that seems unlikely.

But let's say you're right, it still falls into the argument I presented that paint or condiments can't create little rivulets characteristic of blood's tendency to want to form circular splatters.
It is a
bar (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1053.php)- they'd keep things used in mixing drinks out in the bar area. We are not talking about solely paints and condiments here- we are talking about alcohol, syrups, juices, glasses full of cherries and the cherry sauce/juice within, etc. We also don't know exactly where they are- the tables have been teleported away leaving the rest of the bar fairly featureless, and Pip has been dodging. He may be making his way towards the door/stairs/kitchen/corner/anywhere, it's hard to tell.

Guys. Think about it. When has Amber made a gore effect in white lettering that sounds like glass breaking? Abel just beat the punk out of a wine bottle and now his hemophobia's about to kick in.
Well, the thread seems to be calming down a bit, but I still wanted to add my two cents about all the hate/love for Pip and Abel. Personally, I like both of the characters, but even I think they each deserve something. THey are both supremely interesting characters, especially now, but they are also assholes when they want to be. The difference is, Abel has a bit more of an excuse. Pip's excuse is his species, Abel's is his past.
Bottom line: Abel needs either a spanking, some serious counseling, or both; Pip needs a physical therapist and Mab with a well-aimed spray bottle.

Sadly, it does. Unless of course Aniz has learned a lesson or two in four hundred years. (For that matter, I almost expect him to have struggled through raising a child on his own and teaching the child what the Cubi Academy makes so easy; the dark side in me suspects Aniz already had another "wife" on the side he was working on, which is why his "plans" got so screwed up.)
Of course, if I were to create the story (mmm, fanfic) I'd toss in the twist that this wife
knows Aniz is a Cubi, and this time he was honest with her... and that she accepted the truth. And thus when Abel went racing in to try and prevent another tragedy... not only does he look stupid, but there's a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming at the end with Abel being introduced to his baby sister. =^-^=
BTW, Amber, if I accidentally stumble across plot elements you actually were going to use, I apologize in advance and state that my imaginary kittens have
not been spying on you. This time. (That, and feel free to utilize any elements you like.)
"I know something you don't know."
"What is that?"
"I am not left-handed."
Yep, I can see it... oh wait, no I can't. Hrm... Maybe Amber will have us mull over it some more, and change the focus back to Dan and Matilda. It would be deliciously-cruel. :D

Oh I like that idea!! Pip acts like he's been badly hurt, flops his head on the ground with his tongue hanging out. And Abel get's all upset and cries and then Pip gets up and does another cheeky smerk and will say "Fooled you" :3 I so seeing that happen. haha! :U
Hehe, I meant meet Kria again. And I hope Pip's ok. Oooo, I just thought of something, what if Abel hit someone else nearby. And if someone already said this, I must have missed it.
Don't forget. Abel freaks out over blood. Just seeing it would probably negate the hate-fest he had going for the wyrm.
But considering his small size... I'd say it's likely Pip was popped. =^-^=

*Wheeze* *wheeze* Abel *wheeze* I AM your father...

And that demon-mare Soulstealer is camped out by her hospital bed to kick my ass if I show up over there. So I won't. Just tell her I was HERE...and I know where YOU live. You're getting better if you actually managed to hit me, but you still have to work on that fear of blood. See ya, kid!"

Actually, given 25 years for the child to grow into 'Cubi maturity, it's about now that Aniz should be starting his baby program up again. Unless I'm miscalculating.

I'd imagine he started it awhile ago, seeing as Abel turns 400 in a year. If he doesn't already have a kid, at minimum, in their teens I'd be surprised. Unless something has happened in that time (hey, could have) I'd expect him to be at the doors with his kid the day after Abel's birthday. Assuming he can remember it.
I'm not sure if Abel knows about that- but it wouldn't surprise me if Fa' made him leave partly so he wouldn't be there in case his dad does show up.

The 400 year time limit was as-of Abel being in his early twenties or late teens. Thus Aniz could very well be putting "one in the oven" as we speak.

True, which coincidentally occurs when Abel turns 400,
according to Fa'Lina (http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_088.php), and it says he's 399 in Abels Cast Page.
So it should be just about ... now. :)

I would totally laugh if that happened! :mowhappy (And I know they'd probably be young adults instead, but this thought was funnier and the first to pop into my head. :3)
I haven't read through this thread yet.... I just wanted to say that this comic was a big relief. It's nice to know that under duress pip doesn't go all to pieces.

Unless something has happened in that time (hey, could have) I'd expect him to be at the doors with his kid the day after Abel's birthday.
Or a bunch of kids.
I think the mental image what appears to me is somewhat different:
(Him bringing the kids)
Abel, my son. I am sorry for what i put you through back then, but it was necessary in the grand plan of getting our clan to power again. Please allow me to join your birthday celebration - i brought some snacks!
