Nah, Amber is probably totally setting us up here. It's probably not going to be related to Dan at all.... after all, he's had a crush on him for a long time.

No, it's totally something related to Dan. She's just trying to trick us. She knows we'll think it's something about Dan, but then we'll think she's setting us up. And then we'll think it's not something related to Dan...when it -really- is!

Yeah, I don't think anybody saw this coming.

Though in hindsight, it was the perfect opportunity to get this issue resolved.

What I am hoping for:

Jyrras explains everything, and Danlexsi's brain snaps.  As Jyrras is finishing up, the adventuring party shows up and casts Dispel Magic.  And suddenly, Jyrras is looking at...a twin of Abel...

(OK, OK.  It was just too good of a punchline)

P.S.

So, Jyrras is about to talk about his feelings towards Dan and/or Lorenda when Kria suddenly walks in, following Jy...
Danlexsi sees her and, using his razor sharp wit in a boring situation, quips, "Why the long face?"

Hilarity ensues!

Well, Jyrras wasn't always the best at social situations.

Maybe he's not even trying to talk about Dan.  Maybe he's trying to talk about Lorenda and Kria, and inevitably, this will come up.  I also figure that if Jyrras doesn't confess his attraction, it will be because Abelitz will overhear Jyrras saying something, and run in and scoop him up and out of Lost Lake.  Orrrr....maybe he won't talk about his attraction to Dan, but his attraction to Abel, while Abelitz is in earshot (not that that would really faze Abel).

Actually, asking Alexsi would be one of the better ways to get advice on how to approach Dan.  After all, who knows Dan better than Alexsi?  He's already talked to Abel, and he has probably found Mab, Merlitz and Pyro missing.  I wouldn't trust any advice from the Basement Rats.

Plus, Alexsi has the bartender-drunk confidentiality clause.

Edit: Actually, I don't think that Dan will really care that much.  I think the main problem will arise from the betrayal of trust and the careful way that Dan will have to explain that he's really Dan or the next time that they see each other that Dan already knows Jyrras' feelings.

``Ehh, it turned out that Biggs didn't actually want Alexsi.  He wanted Dan.''

Hmmm...

I don't think that happens.  It would be a really cool escape clause, though.

You get kidnapped by a band of `cubi.  They disguise you as a chest or something, and when the rescuers come, one of them yells out ``I've always loved you!''  And your location is presently revealed.

It's probably not likely that this is the Achilles' heel of the type of transformation magic that you cast on others.

Sorry but Dan will handle this revelation OK.

He has survived 20 years of being an Adventurer for a reason.

His survival instincts WILL kick in when it matters.

He will hear the truth and then execute an exit strategy.

Only problem is that exit might be bad in the long run.

That is the problem with survival reflexes, save you for a day and curse you for 10 years.

I don't think that this will be survival instincts.  I think he's just emotionally stable enough to handle this.  I've had a member of the inappropriate sex try to pick me up before.  I found it flattering, and my brain did not snap.

If Jyrras had told Dan a while back, I don't think that Dan would have had any issue.  Just the normal ``That's sweet, but I like you as a friend, and not in that way'' type of talk.

Honestly, I'm hoping for a "Don't tell Dan, but I accidentally 'borrowed' some (read: all) of Dan's swords to make a robotic adventurer. It didn't work well and I need to find some replacements until I can find the robot." type conversation. I don't expect it, but I hope for it.

If Jyrras breaks it to Dan, then I think Dan will be too confused to worry about it too much right away.

I'm just noticing the poses that Danlexsi is using are definitely not Dan poses.  I also do not remember seeing these poses being used by Alexsi.  Does anyone have reference for Alexsi dangling one finger off the counter, or covering up a smile?

At any rate, these are cool poses, and I'm really liking them.  I'd really, really like to see more.

One good thing about ten year curses is that they guarantee that you will live for ten more years.
Not necessarily...
Curses with durations of 10 years don't say you'll live for 10 years. Just that they last 10 years.

For example, Curse of Doom is a 60 second duration curse. It doesn't guarantee you'll live 60 seconds, it says if you're still alive at 60 seconds it hits you for 3200. (world of warcraft, warlock.)

Jyrras will probably reveal his feelings on a variety of subjects, find out that its Dan from Abel coming in, then turn to the dark side and begin a reign of terror over Lost Lake that the entire group must defeat. Then when finally defeated Jyrras can blame it all on Wildy's book :D

Since Mab and Alexsi have now met, and since Alexsi was concerned about the inn in front of Destania, her first question is likely to be "What about the inn?" at which point she'll be filled in on the plan.  If they fail to wait for the reporter to leave it's their own fault and not Dan's.
But yeah, Jyrras could be a casualty of the plan.  >:3

Dan himself is pretty resilient... the only thing which caused him to break down was Ink telling him that his natural calling was an adventurer-slayer, and even that might not have happened if it wasn't for the fact that too many things had happened at once.

No, Dan's reaction is apt to be more like when Merlitz broached the subject in #279 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_279.php).  It's Jyrras who's has a history of snapping under stress...

Quite.  It startled him, and he looked pretty surprised in the following strip, but he recovered pretty quickly and his immediate reaction wasn't "get away from me you freak!" or anything like that either.  The other interesting point which only hit me just now is that Jyrras saw the whole exchange.

If Dan plays it right he might be able to effect a successful put-down of Jyrras by role-playing his sister, assuming he doesn't flub his lines in the initial shock.  I can imagine Alexsi being somewhat surprised too, so it could work as long as he can keep from referring to himself as Dan.

I presume the reporter is outside with Merbel, because thinking about it, it might be sensible to brush Jyrras off with that excuse until she's gone.

Though it might be worse if he's actually attempting to plot Dan's wedding with Matilda.. and unknowingly discusses it with Dan.

That's the second time iv heard that expression on these forums alone and Im sure its based on a mistake.

however getting the short end of the stick? that makes no sense, if sticks are most straight they have no short end. There is a possibility I'm wrong but I'll need a good explanation of why.

I'd assume it's another game of chance between two people similar to breaking a wishbone
You get a stick, each person takes an end and then they break it in two
Thus, short end of the stick.

Well, I would assume that if I didn't just type it into Wikipedia, which spits out

In short, it's an old fashioned loan or IOU. The person in debt literally got the short end of the stick.

If this arc knowing Amber in the past of doing the complete opposite of what we just saw then as I see it this way Jy-Jy will Alexsi/Dan that he has very deep feelings for Lorenda but so afraid to go with his feelings and take the first step. As I see it he had tried in the past and ended up with an embarrassing moment when he said his feelings when his sisters were present. I think Jy-Jy is a very private person and tries to be open emotionally and characteristically with Lorenda. But in any case he waits for that right time to say what he really feels about Lorenda or Dan Or hell Kira for that matter. I have a feeling this is about Dan and If I was him in that situation I will play it off as Alexsi and try to give him the best advice I could as a friend.

Whether it's adapted or has an actual analogy, it's listed as a valid idiom on The Free Dictionary (which apparently takes it from the Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms). I didn't find a good explanation where it came from, though.

I think that's a case of denial. He tries to convince himself by reasoning that it's in Dan's interest blah blah, but deep down, he might still have a nagging feeling.

Good point, yes. I guess that Dan has witnessed a fair share of weird stuff as an adventurer (not even to mention his own recent issues with his heritage) and simply doesn't waste much time with being shocked anymore.

Alternatively, Jyrras just came over to discuss his feelings for Lorenda with Dan. Or all in one: Lorenda, Abel, Dan... Or it's about the book (and Dan's knowledge of said book - even though Jyrras doesn't know about that one, I think...). Jyrras certainly has enough awkward things to discuss with his best friend ;)

No, that one (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_210.php) was more similar to the pose in frame 1.  Dangling a finger off the table is a nice, active pose.  Plus, it will make it obvious when Danlexsi contracts his hand after the inevitable yerg.

But then we've got the other problem--what happens when Dan-as-Dan meets Jyrras again?  You don't have to be an incubus to know when the way someone relates to you has changed, and I'll bet Jyrras will know that Dan knows.

Which will mean that he will think that Alexsi told Dan, since Abel is unlikely to tell Dan.  And then Jyrras will ask Alexsi why she told Dan...

Depends how Dan handles it.  He might, for example, give Jyrras suggestions on how to break his crush to Dan (i.e. himself).  It still has the potential to go a bit astray if Jyrras thanks Alexsi for her help later on of course, and Jyrras is likely to react adversely if he sticks around long enough to see Abel revert Dan's form and then realises that he's told Dan.

On the other hand, Jyrras could be distracted at a critical moment, since the inn is liable to be assaulted at any time by Merlitz' gang (although I'm privately hoping for the 'gang assaults the real Alexsi and gets mashed by a voulge-wielding Mab' scenario)

I still say Jyrras would know that Dan knows.  The only way that this could work is if Danlexsi suggests that Jyrras slip a note to Dan.  That's horrible advice, as he wouldn't get the catharsis from discussing it.

At any rate, I think that it's most likely Jyrras would chicken out and not tell Dan, and then Dan forgets that he's hiding from Jyrras until he confronts Dan.

And then they meet, and it's a whole new level of awkwardness.  Dan knows that Jyrras is attracted to him, and also knows that Jyrras didn't follow his advice, and now it's super-awkward to broach the subject.

Meh.  I'm getting less and less enthusiastic about that happening.  They should notice that Alexsi doesn't have any transformation magic, and that she's coming the wrong way and has a different hair style and eyes.  Depending on what they know about warp-aci (I wouldn't be surprised if they know nothing), they might figure that she's the one being impersonated.

Or, since they probably don't all have detect magic skills, one of them attacks Alexsi and the others try to pull him off.  And then they tell Alexsi that she's being impersonated...

Unless... (too late!)

Alexsi has transformation magic.  It's hiding her head- and backwings from her `mother.'  See, Abel doesn't change base forms because of a rather traumatic experience he once had with Edward Ti'Fiona...

me personally I think it's gonna happen something like this.

Jyrras looks at Alexsi (dan) for a moment, straight into her (his) green eyes then says "Alexsi what happned to your eyes, their green now," and that one sentence causes a cascade of questions  that stalls long enough for someone to come in and save Jyrras's little poofy tail.

OR

Merlitz (Abel) pops in after the photoshoot and says that the "interview is over Dan" or something along those lines and saves Jyrras's tail.

NOT

Jyrras tells Alexsi (dan) about his conflicting emotions, dangerous attractions and how he doesn't want it to harm his friendship with those that he cares about.



but that's my guess.  I serously doubt Amber will actually go through with this train of thought, I am betting that Amber has a twist in mind that saves Jyrras's tail. 



I'm still laughing over Kira's crush on Jyrras and how Deebs was the mature one.

i believe that the conversation will take place off screen was we see Merlitz (Abel) finishing up his display for the reporters then when we come back the the in Merlitz (Abel)  picked up on Dan's mental distress and the tow of them have a talk about Jy-Jy and what Able learned about him up at SAIA.

Well, the notion was that Merbel walks in while Danielle and Jyrras are talking and says "She's gone, time to remove your disguise, Dan" or words to that effect.
I'm just saying that's not very likely since the reporter is going to want to have some final words with the 'owner'  of the inn, and as far as the reporter is concerned, that's Danielle.

Well, I don't know that she ever told Alexsi not to fight `cubi.  I don't think he'd go for a de-dressu, anyways.  Just remove the magical transformation.

And since Alexsi doesn't have any magical transformations (unless, as I've suggested, Abel is Alexsi's mother...)

My guess (not very possible, but hey) is that Jyrras will confess to Danlexsi and just as he is finishing up (or right in the middle of his sentence) Merbel will step in and tell Dan to change back. And then everything will go fubar and the readers shall laugh. A lot. For a very long time.

Ooh! Or maybe REAL Lexsi walks in just at that moment! Jyrras freaks out (ZOMGWTF TWO DANS?!) and his brain officially turns into a Wendy's milkshake! And then Abel (watching from the shadows) faints in relief at not having to do anything.

Call me paranoid, but I say we're still three to four plot-twists away from a revelation in that direction. :3

does that mean we'll see amber and fluffy hula again?

Waah i missed the joke.
It took me a moment, I'll admit.  But think about it.

1. What is the main, awkward thing that Jyrras has on his mind right now?
2. Who is he (really) talking to?

I see two possible outcomes.  First, Jyrras tells Dan (unknowingly) that he's getting feelings for him, Dan freaks out, yanks Jy into another room and tells him that he is Dan.
Two, they get interrupted just before Jy can say anything, Jy has a heart attack from what he almost did, Lorenna runs in, catches him, and runs off with him in her arms.  The final result from this being that he realizes she's the one he really loves, and they go get married and have lots of quarter-demon, quarter-cow, quarter-kangaroo, quarter kangaroo-rat kids.

I find it intresting how all of Jyrras's crushes could simply devour him in one way or the other therefore turnning him into a victom.

Dan and Abel could devour his soul while Lorenda could devour his flesh.  And lets not forget the story "survival instincts 0 male pride 1" or something along those lines.

All in all I bet Jyrras finds a nice creature to settle down with for a little while.

Dan(Lexi): So what be the problem little guy?
Jy: Well you see I have this feeling for someone...
Dan(Lexi): Oh you lucky rat...Whos the sweet lady? Is Lorinda?
Jy: *blushes hard* Ummm no...Its a guy...
Dan(Lexi): Ummm...Who?
Jy: Ummm..Its Dan...
Dan(Lexi): ACK! *thud*

I've said before that I expect that if Jyrras and Kria get together, Jyrras will kill Kria on their wedding night.

Well, I'm imagining that it would be self-defense.  Kria goes after Jyrras, and Jyrras uses one of his creations to kill her.

I would think that Lorenda would be more impressed than anything else, after all, she's eaten better for doing far less.

P.S. Amber, the previous cartoon button for the site index goes to 718, when it should go to 719.

Hmm.... I just thought of something....

What if it's actually just about Wildy's book?  He doesn't know Dan knows about the book AFAIK, and he could be referring to the shonen-ai-torture bit....

Fixed that for you.

....what?

*snrk*

I agree with you, even though that's not how Wildy used it....

Who knows what will happens with Jy I said it in the other thread either Abel will politely tell him he's not interested or take it a step further and TGH I like the idea of both Lorenda and Abel sharing that roo LOL.

i hate to say it but i agree. able might not be evil persay but he's good at being a jerk.  Once he deals with the shock of attraction he'll think about the way to be the biggest jerk about it and then he'll say something  to prove his status as a jerk. i won't say what because i don't know what and i don't want to guess the words and... what was i saying again?

Typically, fanservice is aimed for guys, because it's mostly guys who go O_O at that sort of thing.  Fanservice aimed for girls, in addition to being rare, makes most guys go  :erk.
