The Clockwork Mansion

It looks like "Teh Awkward" has finally happened. One has amnesia, and the other has probbably seen Dawn of the Dead once too often. This is the most AWSOME cliffhanger EVER!  :zombiekun2

Edit: Corrected your topic. HTH, HAND.

I remember hearing a rumor that Devin and Abel would never meet in the comic... considering the rumor was said the event that they would meet in the comic would become a certainty.
Still nice shock.

Niiiice.

I'm going to have to work the voice samples for Devin now. This is some good stuff.

Open Index: Function "Ffffffuuuuu"

T-Minus 5 seconds before total brain meltdown.

This is just not Abel's day...

this is gonna be epic!! :D

I have a feeling Abel is going to roll a 1.  :mowdizzy

Also, epic cliffhanger indeed.

Aww man I'm going to have to untill friday to see what happens next. *Starts playing pokemon on my DS*

HUGS and MAKING OUT is imminent!

Abel knew about Devin but hasn't seen him in centuries since he wasn't allowed in the Academy so... gotta make up for lost time!

Wow chika wow waaah...

*waits to be banned*
~K. *: 3

That first panel is awesome.  I do wonder what Abel's going to make of this, though - he hasn't heard about the undead yet.

and now we have the mental battle between "Oh my gods, what is that?" and "I think I know this guy!" but considering it has been hundred of years, only the first one may happen.

I'm sure Devin won't do his best to make it uncomfortable.

Honest.

Proof positive the undead have no recollection of their former lives: He didn't greet Abel with something sarcastic  :giggle

Devin is a special case since it was centuries between him dying and becoming self-aware again, or to put it another way, he's a very early prototype.  Demonology states that usually - i.e. with the more recent crop like Hannah - they do retain their full memories.

....well this is going to be awkward.

My first thought.. "Oh Crap!"

Heh heh heh.  Awesome.  Thank you, Amber, improving my day with this comic. 

Everyone brace for impact!

Also I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think I've seen that hairstyle somewhere here before.

This is the moment I've been waiting for, on the edge of my seat, since the moment we found out Devin was going to be going over to Jy's house.

Aaaaaand now I have to wait longer to find out the result...

Fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu~

Wait? Are we even sure Abel remembers Devon?

All these years might have abscured his recollection on what Devon looked like. He might remember who Devon was, but it might take him a few minute to put two and two together.

Not to mention that bug is asking the questions again and Devon called him Jyrras. Quite a bit more shock topics then meeting a long dead friend. Though the dead friend is probably the biggest one of all. >:3

We just hit a whole new vain of awkward! *Pulls out umbrella to keep clean*

Methinks Abel will remember. Do not forget; Devin pretty much died right in front of him and that's something you don't forget easily. o.o

Devin! Break the akward with a dance!  :zombiekun2 :zombiekun2

Well, that's mean, giving us such a cliffhanger in the middle of the week :P.
Now I can't wait for Friday to come (well, more than usual ^^).

It just had to happen.

I'm looking forward to how Amber will handle this one.
With awkardness I bet, and a frontpage story for Chii.

:)

OH SHI-

I am excited. 8D I've been waiting for this scene for forever.  :boogie

I can't give you enough positive karma.

 ...........(excitement. shock. joy.) :U :U :U :U :U

(witty commentary has been replaced with an overused joke she's never made)

Wow. Abel looks like he's...

8)

SEEN A GHOST.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxNzcW5n4b4)

"Well actually I'm trying to fin-buuuhwhaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"

*cue sound of jaw hitting floor*


This should be interesting, to say the least.

Now I have a splitting headache from my brain meeting the floor and suffering Acute Sudden Deceleration Syndrome.

I hope Abel also installs some Brainbumpers in that head of his when he puts up a Mind Shield.

After all the preperation, all the build up, the fire-works have been launched.
I repete

THE FIREWORKS HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED!!!


Now we wait for the big, loud and colourful bang.
Thank you Amber!

Needless to say, oh snap.

Oh sh-

SAN CHECK! SAN CHECK!

He certainly remembers Hennya from his dream involving Pip so i wouldn't be surprised if Abel suddenly as another flashback involving Devin...

------------------

Strange... I  expected the forum to explode more than this...

Ah well.

I bet the real talk will start during the next comics. Though I'm just a bit sorry for Abel right now. I mean, from his perspective, it would look like this:

Devin's influence on Abel: Complicated psychological trauma that is still in effect after 300+ years.
Abel's influence on Devin: Abel who?

That's gotta hurt some way...

Give it a little bit more time. This was just the explosion >:3
We have yet to feel the shock-wave :U

Hahahaha fantastic! I think we all know there's pretty much only two ways Abel can take this. Well, or very well. Oh wait hang on

You, my good man, have shown what I was basically thinking of what is going to happen. If I could, I would award you with several internets.

1. What did you have Devin say, and
2. It is Abel's jaw that hit the floor in Failcakes scenario.

Er.. You took the joke in a different direction than SW... I get the feeling originally Failcakes was talking about his jaw hitting the floor, but then Squirrel decided to have it that Devin's jaw fell off and hit the floor (saying, "Danggg, mind grabbing that for me?" Though he wouldn't be able to say the Ms, Fs, and maybe THs...), as a twist to the joke.

Anyways. Will Abel go into shock, faint, or just be incoherent until ten minutes after Devin's gone? Or will he just be too stunned to actually recognize him until after Devin's left ("Er, no, Jyrras is a roo-rat, currently asleep inside." "Ah, thank you." *Devin goes inside.* *beat* "Wait, was that Devin?!?!")?

*Charline grins is sinister glee, knowing more is yet to come!*  And don't forget, Abel still has to discover that his old friend, Miss Soulstealer is the one who has Undead Devin in her house AND that her brother is the evil monster who revived Devin's rotting corpse!  Aaaaaand, I suspect a few more details shall be revealed which relate to all of that, if my plot-analysis is correct.  There shall be fear!  And angst!  And RAGE!!!  And maybe even BLOODLUST!!!  Squeeeeee!!!   *happy ebil lioness dance*   :boogie

This is going to be one heck of a day for Abel, hih?

Devin is the one who is Undead. Random body parts falling off for comedy's sake.

Devon uses "Traumatize" on Abel!

It's super effective. o3o

You don't think this is comedy?

We need to get amber to officialy draw that.

Wildy will be upset that she was neither aware of the potential or present for the chaos that may very likely ensue here.

Me? I'm plugging a microwave into my one of my tails and making more popcorn! =3

Thanks for translating that and I didn't even think about Failcakes refering about himself.

Is it Friday yet?


Grrrr


LOL@ iceick's Image

May I direct you to Devin Soulstealer's cast page (http://www.missmab.com/Cast/devin.php).

Reading through the 'history' part, I get the impression that Devin definitely won't recognize Abel.

*Spiderpokes Charlene* o.o

Also..anyone notice one of Devins hobbies is taxidermy? Kinda..ironic..no?

Just practical thinking, I guess.

He needs the skills anyway to preserve his own body (and repair any damage to it).

I'll just mention his 'fluffy soft tail' as an example.

So if Devin says that he's stuffed, he isn't referring to a lack of appetite?

One possible outcome: "You knew me when I was alive? What was I like?!"

Did Amber die, or is she just being lazy again?

She's being lazy/forgetful.
Edit: or sick :(

She is busily working on glorious other things and letting the suspense build a little longI KINNAE TAKE IT ANYMORE, CAP'N.

Say you will,
Say you won't,
Make up your mind to-niiight~!

We are talk-
-ing about
Two different things...!  :U

You're just a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

Precisely how much are you paying Amber to publish this comic? Nothing? Gee, well then, you have no complaints when she doesn't update, now, do you?

Right up to the point where you are paying her a full days wage for a full days work (I believe she's currently getting something on the order of $100 CDN / month) you have zero rights to bitch about how long updates take. Given each days normal update takes up to 8 hours of work to generate - and that's not counting larger updates, Abel's Story (when it was going) or other things like wallpapers - so quit yer bitching, STFU, and be happy with what you get.


Sheesh.

Or could it be that she's having a hard time artistically?  Because, you know, it's not like she just waves her hands and a comic appears.

that and Adobe haven't quite perfected the "Make Comic" filter yet.   :P

Okay, Plan B. This might kick-start the zombie apocalypse, but it's to end a cliffhanger, and thus the ends justify the means.

But wouldn't everything end then, including the comic? Just get her a good White Mage or Cleric.

Depends on how cognitive Zombie-Amber and her spawn are.

Get Well Soon, Zombie Amber! :mowwink

I'm still not sure whether Abel will be to stunned to say anything and end up just standing, gaping at the now vacant garden path, clutching the newest batch of rum balls.

If he's lucky while he'll be able to blurt out "Devin?" to get the reply "Ah yes, Lorenda told you I'd be coming", and Devin will leave, fully thinking Abel is Jyrras and setting up another great awkward situation in the works.

Hmm... Zombies... Actually, that gives me an idea for a Fan-Fic/In Universe Movie. "Zombies Vs. The Undead". Think about it. A zombie virus outbreak on a planet where a small portion of the population is immune because whey are ALREADY dead! Would some of the more "Aggressive" Undead factions try to use the lethal nature of the Virus to speed up conversions, hoping that someone bitten by an Undead, but finished off by a Zombie/the Virus, would come back as Undead? How will the cast members of DMFA react to the whole thing? Would it flop at the Box Office? I have know idea. I don't have the skills to actually write the danged thing. If anyone out there wants to take up this torch, feel free.

In unrelated news, today is my birthday. I am now 29 years old, and seriously ticked at going bald.  :kirby
