So Kria gets Dan in a quiet, dark room alone.. something 'Almost' happens... and Dan feels guilty? Did Kria actually manage to convince Dan, albeit briefly, to consent to a bit of snoggary? :erk
I think my jaw got bruised when it hit the desk... Mostly because either it's just me, or has there been a sudden move to more "mature" topics? At this rate, Amber probably outta just bump up the rating to 14 or something...
Then again, Dan could've just gotten tipsy/suggestible and is feeling embarrassed about almost cheating on Matilda. (Fan-theory only, obviously. I'm sure they'll be a full explanation later. Geeze, at this rate, it looks like Dan's going through puberty ALL OVER again...)
Oh yeah... New layout is AWESOME. Bigger comics allow for more details, and more details means more little hidden things that the artist can hide in the comic.
"Snoggery"
Heh. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
What's odd to me is that he had his shirt at the time he decided to leave, but not when he got home........ Did Kria give chase?
Soooo... it almost happened but it didn't? :erk
Kria's face certainly tells a tale about how close she almost got.... that and Dan's hand on her back.
Not a single bad thing happened except Dan's guilty conscious hit him in the knee cap with a tire iron and Kria needs a replacement window.
I'm pretty sure both were mildly inebriated.
And yet another reason why I don't want to drink alcohol.
I fully expected Kria to try and get her hooves on Dan, that was a given. That it's suggested that Dan was apparently going tolet her before events intervened.. Holy Happy Hop-scotching crap! :erk
Though I doubt he's feeling guilty due to Matilda.. awkward, maybe. He's only Pretending to be her boyfriend after all.
My money is on him feeling guilty... due to Wildy.
Edit: D'oh! now I remember the cute snakey taur girl.. Got her confused with Lorenda there for a second.
I was eating cake when I read the last line. I spent 2 minutes trying to clean my monitor, which is no mean feat when you're literally on the floor laughing.
Curse you Amber! You and your hilarity cost me cake! :)
Hah, Abel guessed it in one ! :D
And I have to throw my support behind the new format too, it's good.
I, for one, support the use of window jumping! It's the best means of escape most definitely!
Bad romance? Out the window!
Murderous thugs? Out the window!
Realization that you could have snogged a demon-mare? Out the :censored window!
Dan defenestrated himself... with those wings he must have made one good landing.
Reading the page I soon realized why Matilda thinks Dan is a keeper. Dan IS a keeper.
But did he land in a pit again, and have to escape from the basement?

I wonder if it's a 'Cubi thing. They seem to be notorious for seducing people (victims especially). It makes me wonder if Dan was running on non-Being instincts then, and he's freaked out because he hasn't learned to control them. That might also dovetail in with the SAIA basic training ["Let's go to SAIA this month!"] though that may simply be overanalysis on my part. That said, Fa'Lina didn't say
how Dan might hurt his friends (491) and it might not necessarily be physical.
As for the shirt, I'm not sure this is the end of the story. Kria can probably outrun Dan unless he used Fi to escape, which I doubt he thought of at the time.
Of course, it's possible he landed on DP or someone...
So far, the short version for Wildy would be "Kria seduced me and I panicked", which she would probably just find funny.

which knowing that ferret, would use it against Dan for either amusement or personal gain.
In regards to the shirt, keep in mind guys that Dan is talking to Abel/Wildy the morning after. It isn't like he came home from the party right into this conversation. There would have been more than enough time for him to simply change into more comfortable clothes before Wildy came over the next day to get the dirt on what happened.
Which is what he did.

Alcohol is not an excuse. You are still responsible for you, even if you're inebriated. All alcohol does is interfere with your judgement, not your abilities.
... the first bit of judgement it interferes with is the decision as to if you should have another drink. >.<

He's pretending to be Lorenda's boyfriend. And possibly 'dette's boyfriend, although that depends on what she decided after Lorenda let her know about him.
Matilda, on the other hand, while being surprisingly understanding, _is_ one of those volcanic blue taurs, and _did_ tear her brother's arm off and beat him with it, so I'd be a little cautious about getting her rarked up, myself.
... even if it does lead to some amazing playtimes. *cough*
Also, "let" ? From the position of his hand, he's not
letting anything, he's
actively abetting any such hanky-panky. Although I wouldn't put it past Kria to have figured out how to shrug her shoulder such that his hand innocently placed becomes totally tangled in her strap...
So he feels guilty for potentially cheating on his fake girlfriend and his not-quite-girlfriend-yet? Looks like he isn't into 'causal' relationships as his past (and heritage) would suggest.
And after reading the comments I'm sticking with my initial thought: What da frig?
Y'know, there's a perfectly logical explanation here: Emotion Jammering. Remember, Dan's quite susceptible to that, as shown when Abel did it to him.
Kria, as we all know, is an older demon, and has quite a bit of experience under her belt(so to speak). Is it so much of a stretch to assume that she has learned some way to emotion-control 'Cubi, if not other species as well? I mean, it could easily be a magic charm or the like.
If this is true, then when Kria lost her concentration, she lost control of it, Dan woke up... and the rest is history!
Seems perfectly logical, don't you think?
:P
Who needs logical explanations? The important bit here is that Lorenda's mom's got it going on!
Kria and Dan.
Totally shipping that.
Rule 34?
:rolleyes
Here the part that bother me is that Dan wanted to get on with Kira :mowdizzy when did he show interest in her? Did I miss a page where Dan was leering at her bootie, or thought bubble what he wish he could those boobs? Sure it possible for Alcohol or Cubi-power taking over his judgement, but still this seem like something you see in daytime soaps.
As for the Dan being guilty is
a) almost cheating on his fake-girlfriend Lorna and/or bosem buddy Matilda
b) almost getting on with the sister of his dreaded enemy DP and house servant Regina
c) forgetting his mission with Wildly about finding Regina hideout.
d) all the above.
I'd think Kira can be very persuasive when she wants to be.
*Charline de Lyon grins an ominous grin* Soooo... Dan can now be tempted by sexy demons, eh? His Cubi heritage is beginning to affect his actions and judgement!
He can be brought to my side... yes... then all will be in place! :mwaha
Mister "perks to being an Adventurer" turns down a demon by jumping out of a window? O_O
"Like it was going out of style!" Got to remember that line. ^_^
I expect Dan started at least one fire, given his quote.
"Dan's Quote: Well what do ya know... it CAN be set on fire!"
Ok 3 things:
1. What...the?...huh?...did Dan?...did the comic just? HOW is this comic still rated PG?
2. Dan is propably blaming it on the cubi thing twisting his mind.
3. This will spawn so many fan-fictions.
That is all. Returning to lurker mode.
I believe it's rated PG-13 ... which is another way of saying "for teens", and teens sure as heck won't be disturbed by as little as this. :D
I checked, you were right, it is indeed PG rated.
Offcourse, according to tha panda rating, Web PG is as follows :
Pai Gon: (PG rating)
This site contains little or mild offensive materials. Basically stuff only uptight parents would get upset over.
I'd say she's still within that rating.
to me the issue is that 'maaaaybe a little' sex with kira is like 'maaaaybe i pushed the nuclear missile launch button a little'
so, yeah, the insertion of viable DNA into kiras uterus is tandemount to a bomb. however when bombs get buttonblocked they probably don't go on a hormonal driven rampage that will only be sated by molesting beefcake
...Maybe Kira is the type to have a "calm" pregnancy?
.....
Oh right... She ATE Lorenda's father over an affair... Nevermind...

Not even seeing her face, it's obvious she is
NOT a happy demon at that moment...Though even at her angriest and potentially most deadly, she's still ever so smexy...Dan you lucky dog (er, cat)!
Mabby: Suggestion for new store goodies...Buttons, buttons, and more buttons (or a new calendar would be awesome too)!!!
I thought Dan was above such things as this. Mainly because of his DO NOT WANT attitude when he was at Kria's before. I blame it on whatever has been making him look manlier. Whatever has been doing that has clearly screwed with his judgement.
By the looks of it, it didn't go beyond smooching.

This didn't come out of the blue, actually. I recall a comic page some time last year where Kria expressed a very...deep...interest in Dan. That, and as this page and the last one quite well established, Kria pulled Dan into the room, not the other way around.
My two cents about why he feels guilty about almost gettin' his freak on with her, he feels guilty because he's in a relationship with Matilda, and for the love of Crom, Kria's how many hundreds of years old? Even as hot as she is, even I would be squicked out by that. And there's at least one person here who may or may not know how hard it is to squick me out.
Can't say that I'm surprised. Well, that Kria was showing SOME restraint and not de-shirting Dan.
As far as any qualms or resistance Dan may have had the last time he was at the Soulstealer estate--remember, he was there on business. Kudos for him at the time for putting on a brave front. Also, Regina happened. Let's face it, Kria may not be a Cubi, but she's had a few centuries of practice at the art of seduction (putting it politely...).

It seems that in the world of Furrae, with creatures that live for hundreds, if not thousands of years being commonplace, age is not so much a detriment or even a consideration when sizing up a potential mate...Where Kria is concerned, it's probably more a measure of
experience... :mowdizzy

The rules on what does and does not constitute PG/PG-13 etc. are hilariously contrived and complicated. The difference between PG/PG-13 is (unlike the ever-fun-to-riff-on PG-13/R line) a lot to do with violence and swearing more than sexuality. When it comes to sexuality, the difference between PG and PG-13 only has to do with how much characters talk about sex as being sex, and a slight difference in the amount of skin that can be shown. Unless it's stated/made clear that characters are actually having sex, you can probably pass it off as "making out" and grab that PG rating.
Fun fact: You can say the F-word in a PG-13 movie, but not if you're using it literally. "**** YOU WITH A RAKE!" is acceptable. "I want to **** you right now." is not.
EDIT: Oh, right, what I was going to post before I got side-tracked with the whole ratings thing.

The real question is where are the boundaries for PG-13 because there's a thin line between PG and R. You can have violence and mildly offensive nude scenes and still have it rated PG, but if the violence gets out of hand and/or show the full montey it becomes rated R.

I think you mean line between PG-13 and R... and there are some rules for that.
PG-13 you can get pretty much as violent as you want as long as characters don't bleed or show pain. You also get one F-bomb, use it wisely. Any full nudity (except from behind) is an R. Bloody death and violence is an R. Using the f-word to describe an actual physical act is an R. Have characters speak frankly about sex and it's an R.
Once you get into R you can pretty much have infinite violence and as explicit (heterosexual) sex as you like as long as it isn't on the screen for too long. If I recall correctly, only four movies in the history of film making have received an NC-17/X rating for violence. I do not know what they are.
Actually, you can have lots of bloody violence and still be PG-13, but too much gore, or even one on screen decapitation, and it's R.
I want to add to the discussion about Kria and Dan, I really do. I just can't get passed Dan's fae in the middle panel though. It looks overly elastic to me; it's too narrow from front to back while also being quite long from top to bottom. The cartoon appearance seems more pronounced than in the rest of this update.
OK, back to semi-lurking.
P.S. Dan's nuts. Who in their right mind wouldn't un-fenestrate themselves for Kria?

I dunno, Matilda is also 216.
I was thoroughly surprised, which is hard to do at time. As I tried to make sense of it, two things popped in my head...
1) Damn those rum balls!
2) Kria: "So, cheating on my daughter with your slinky mythos. I don't take kindly to people who mistreat my daughter. So, before I make Regina scrub you out of the walls... are you interested in Lorenda, yes or no?"
Dan: "Er.... no..."
Kria: "Grrrrrr!"
Dan: ["D'oh! Smooth move, Dan. Go for the hail mary."] "I've been... um.. *gulp* actually interested in you."
Kria: "Eeeee! OMG! Get over here, loverboy!"

I see exactly what you're talking about, and have a little to add myself... Is it just me, or does Dan look more like a Neko than a full on anthro feline since Amber's way of drawing him changed? I mean, compare what he looked like in the last arc with what he looks like now, the difference in the face is pretty jarring. I'm not the only one that thinks this, am I?
For the love of Thundara, I'm making a lot of posts in this topic...
1: The movie ratings system was and is still WELL-KNOWN for being a black box. The MPAA has NEVER released the guidelines that they use, and I don't think they ever will. Producers submit a movie, and they spit out a rating with no explanation as to why.
Also, apparently you CAN have nekkid man-butt in PG-13 (A Knight's Tale), but NOT nekkid lady-butt. (R-Rating, if not NC-17.)
2: I brought up the ratings in my first post. Mostly because the 'States has this attitude of "We must protect the children from any and all things related to sex, DESPITE the fact that it's the reason we're all here!". (Obviously, I think they're being too strict with it.)

Nope. Dan's REALLY looking like more of a nekoman ever since Amber rolled out the new art style. (Especially in the fourth panel. He looks awfully monkey-ish for some reason.) It might be because the face of the felines (Especially when viewed from the front, and not limited to just Dan.) looks flat. However, since his fur color is almost the EXACT same shade as certain skin tones, and the majority of his teeth are shown as flat all the way across. (Instead of showing slightly more fang-y teeth as even Abel does on occasion.)
...And I didn't INTEND to do a partial art-style analysis with this post... I really didn't. Especially because I sound overly critical when compared to my art style (Looks like this: http://www.xkcd.com/ (http://www.xkcd.com/) BTW.) which also makes me look like a hypocrite. Also, I don't really have an opinion on if it's "good" or "bad", I'm just making observations and it's up to the artist to decide what direction they want to move towards.
Seriously, I'll be here for the plot alone. (And someday, I shall surpass the teacher! Muwahahahahahaha-HEY! STOP HI-LIGHTING THIS AND READING IT!)

Kria: amused smile as she watches dan run away "Humph....almost got him...."
I must admit I'm torn...I mean one wants to make a good impression on a powerful demoness, and Dan seemed WELL on his way to currying her favor, and yet I can not deny that part of me thinks he and Matilida make such a cute couple...
The fallout from this should be interesting indeed.
The only way it could've gone worse (better?) is if DP stumbled across them instead.

For what it's worth, they way movies are these days, I can attest that a woman's backside doesn't constitute an NC-17 rating by any means. For that matter, if it were even "R" material, I doubt that one episode of
Star Trek: Enterprise ever would have aired. (Hey, I only know about it because they'll take any excuse to plug that picture in on the wiki...)
As far as how
this situation sprang up... I think AxiLarin is on to something. One way or another. I also suspect magic may be involved somehow.
Please in this world magic is always involved. I just have to see if Regina, Lorenda or a Fae are involved in this one.
I'll put a better intro a little later, I promise! ^^' I actually just wanted to post this before heading to work after reading about the whole rating system.
PG-13 can actually get away with a lot these days. It actually got away with a bit several years ago still. I submit case and point: "The Fifth Element"
The movie was indeed rated PG-13, and it contained: Clear nipple on side boob shots, a blurry boob shot later, overall naked and nearly naked lady. Also at the end, it had clear indications of sex, though no details were shown in the scene, just the two of them doing what is obvious while kissing and moving. Also in the movie was blood and a load of violence. An alien lady with the main character sticking his hand inside her to pull out the stones. Also, I am fairly certain there was more than a little 'foul' language in the show.
So yeah, black box indeed, I was surprised too when I noticed it was only PG-13.
As for the comic, I would vote on the magical influence, but it is common for someone to realize what is going on only after the moment is broken. I would guess it has more to do with those Rum Balls and the like. Plus Kria being... Kria.
I'm not ruling out some kind of influence happening that made Dan and Kria get something going in the backroom, be it magic, emotion-jamming or just plain old alcohol. But what I really don't get is why Kria would do it.
Sure, she showed more then interested in Dan before, but that was before she knew Dan was Lorenda's boyfriend. I'm sure we all remember Kria ate/killed Lorenda's father for cheating on her while she was pregnant, it has been brought up often enough, so I would think she is against such practices yet here she pulled Dan into a room seemingly with the intent on having him cheat on Loranda with her.
Maybe I'm just reading too much in it, or maybe Kria is just hypocrite when it comes to herself.

Well, she already seems to have figured out that it was a ruse (see pages 1105-6). I do wonder if she arranged the dinner because she wanted
Dan, rather than to annoy Lorenda/DP - but on the other hand she must have known that he had spent the night with Matilda.
I'd say the crucial difference with her late husband was that she was with child when she was being cheated, whereas Dan hasn't got to that stage in any of his relationships so far as we know.

Who
wouldn't be susceptible if they don't know to put up barriers against it? AFAIK it's only been done to him once.

Are demons capable of emotion jamming? I mean, we've only seen it done twice: Once by Abel to Dan (#670) and again in an introverted way by Fa'lina removing all emotion from Abel (Able's back story, pt. 2, #29). Considering that cubi can't emotion jam beings (#649) It would make sense that emotion jamming is strictly a cubi-to-cubi thing, or at the most, cubi-to-creature. In which case it would have had to been Dan doing it to Kria, which is unlikely since he doesn't know how to do it yet.
Maybe not all demons but the female ones are, course females of all races capable of emotion jamming. Slinky dresses and push up bras make it super effective. :mowdizzy

I think in Kria's case, her seductive abilities come a bit more...
naturally :boogie
now, allow me to make minor nitpick, but i'm not sure whether i like how Amber's drawing Dan these days, but in the fourth panel, his head looks kinda flat/squashed in, it might just be me, or the angle, though.

I always thought that emotion jamming was possible because cubi draw energy from emotions and such, thus are more sensitive to changes in such emotions. Abel was used to be around cubi and nothing but cubi, thus he had to remind himself such things don't work on beings. If a creature, or maybe even a being, knows about this weakness he/she might learn it too. So I don't think emotion jamming is a cubi-to-creature thing so much as a creature-to-cubi thing as well as cubi-to-cubi off course.
Cubi-to-creature or even creature-to-creature emotion jamming might only be possible if the creature that is being jammed is sensitive to emotion changes.
Emotion jamming may not have been needed here. Let us not forget the power that a female can have over a male with a gentle stroke of her hand on a an arm and a face and the warmth of her whispered breath in your ear. These can do amazing things with a persons emotions, especially if they are dulled by some substance. :mowwink
Dan is a wee bit of a drooling "me like pretty girl" sort.
Add the booze, and Kira acting more sophisticated, he's likely to be a touch helpless. I also think it's been a while since he *censured by desire not to banished from here sin die*.
What confuses me is why he was seduced by Kira, given his reaction the last time she tried.
Mayhap Kria couldn't resist a challenge? :)
