Ah, the ****ing of another's mind. It is a hard skill to master. Probably why mind flayers came up with tools to aid in such endeavors, though they often leave the person insane.
I suppose the representation of a labyrinth for the inner workings of a mind wouldn't be far off.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought Fa'lina wasn't being entierly straight with the audience where it comes to mind reading. My first impression was that she was worried about rating breaking, but I feel that it might be out of character for her to be concerned for our poor minds. I think that she's hiding some things about 'cubi that, maybe, specialize in mind reading, something that would be a danger to cubi were it to become common knowledge. Or, maybe, she's herself finds mind reading to be objectionable, and therefore bans it and the teaching of it in her school; the censoring of such techniques, then, would be something that I think might get her worked up like that.
Or amybe she was worried that PaiGon would smack her if the comic went too far; who knows? :rolleyes
If a Cubi tries to read a mind under duress , what happens ? The mind would react with a self - defense system . If it was too bad , the Cubi mind may be entangled inside , and no longer be able to come out .
Who is that Cubi and where can I get her number? :giggle

Around cubi...NEVER RELAX :O
Seriously, I'm confoozed. SOMETHING is going on that she doesn't what us to see, but the way it's done makes it seem like we should be able to know WHY, and I have no clue. Sure, I can theorize, and some of you have, but we don't KNOW. In fact, we're just totally guessing.
Confoooooozed.
I think it's something in a you know "when a Being and Cubi falls in love.." >:3
I think that what it was the random violence stuff she allows us to see. But hey I'm just speculating *whistles innocently*.
Chobits Cubi?
"I will split your thoughts open!"
No. There has to be something more to that, other than that the scene is gruesome and gorish. I may not believe that of Amber and her censorship, but I believe it of Fa'Lina. Sometimes characters have their own meaning with things. >:]
Oh, and on the topic Alondro started, I think mind tendrils would look just wonderful. A perfect addition to any succubus with distinguished and depraved tastes. >:3
*Charline chuckles* It's more a matter of concern on Fa'lina's part, I should think, that were all the beings in the audience to witness the absolute horror that is the cubi's technique of mind-reading, the whole being-cubi conflict would ignite instantly. *drags Charles over to demonstrate* You see, it happens like this...
*the camera is disconnected as Charline's wing tentacles surround the poor human, but the audio isn't shut down quickly enough and a blood-curdling scream of utter agony is heard!*

Really? I find it hard to believe that the academy wouldn't teach something just because of the personal beliefs of the headmistress.
Edit: It took me a while to even consider that Fa'Lina might just be squeamish, but she might not be terribly keen to be liable for psychological damages incurred while reading. Remember, entire audiences started screaming when they saw this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPQ7KMCrPLE). (SFW, not pleasant if you've ever had dental work)
Great. Now I have three characters I'm gay for. Bernadette, Regina, and now that purple Cubi lass. Wonderful. Just wonderful. Thanks a ton, Amber. :P You've traumatized my poor little 15-year-old mind.
So concludes the fantastic Cubi abilities mini-arc. This one was certainly entertaining and has more than warmed me up for the next two mini-arcs. Especially the hybrid arc, which sounds very promising. Bravo, Amber. Great artwork and stylization throughout the entire mini-arc. The paneling was very dynamic. I'm gonna need to take notes if I ever hope of making a comic.

If the corkscrew-shaped tentacle positioned over that poor Being's head was of any indication, I believe that she was trying to protect us from the ensuing gore-filled scene that would likely follow that.
~Keaton the Black Jackal
And besides all that, this is only cubi 101... Even IF she was actually teaching cubi and not us humble beings about it, she'd probably hide them from anything unpleasant until it would become something a bit more regular for a cubi to witness or do. Given the fatality rate as described by Fa'Lina, I'd wager this would be one of the last things you try to learn at SAIA...
I concur.
AH yes Censored for the Baby 'Cubus that is anyone under a 1000 years.
But I love the fan-service of a full wings out, chest out, over protective and panicy Fa'line in the last panel.
:mowhappy
PBH
The mind-reading/probing skill of the cubi seem to said that Cubus can't have a mind shield on and mind read at the same time. A special mind shield (in other Psion sci-fi) could be use to protect the Self, the mind of the mindreader from being swamp by the mind of a unskilled being.
I think she was lying through her teeth about how difficult it was -- it's actually something that cubi do routinely.
Probably still a learned skill, though.

and yet humans can witness more violence and gore at a PG13 movie ...but if it has one curse word it gets bumped up to rated R. let's see the last PG13 movie I saw had about 56 deaths, very cleverly executed. Rated R films have at least one gratuitous sex scene and anywhere from 176 or more deaths, the exception to this being "Passion of the Christ" which now has a friendly PG 13 label on video, how Mel Gibson accomplished this I don't know.

Any Cubi who has the ability to read minds likely has thousands of years under their belt...and as such would be able to field most problems. Or at the very least, be smart enough to know better than to go into something that is considered too dangerous.

Sadly, I highly doubt Charline would be skilled or powerful enough to properly do mind-reading. She lacks the proper control and reserve. That and despite the heavy pain and difficulty, most Cubi who do mind reading actually don't
want to damage or kill their subjects. As mentioned, it's a move usually done only by the desperate when other methods have failed.

Fa'Lina has never lied. She is incapable of it. And while she might be able to stretch things into half-truths...there is no point of me making a Demonology 101 article that is based on misinformation.
In this particular case, one might do better not to think of it as Fa'Lina giving lectures.

Quote from: GabrielsThoughts on March 29, 2007, 06:44:42 PMSome people believe you don't have a soul, but rather that you are a living soul...
The DMFA universe supports resurrection and noncorporeal modes of existence. For example: DP's attempts to resurrect the Dark God, Dan as a ghost, the undead, and the fact that Aary was able to trap an adventurer's spirit inside an artifact (Abel also said Dan might do that to Jyrras if he got mad at him so it's pretty common).
While I'm partial to the Peter F Hamilton idea that the soul is the personality data encoded in an energy matrix as a natural part of the way the universe works, it's Amber's call, not mine - and I do believe she said she wasn't going to specify exactly how souls worked.
But I digress. I'm a bit more interested in how the spells are invoked and what their effects are. It has been mooted that when 'Cubi 'eat' souls they are actually binding them to themselves rather than destroying them outright. I'm trying to avoid committing myself one way or the other in my writings, and trying to fudge the issue with the fact that the protagonist might not know exactly how it works anyway >:3

I heard the real reason Dan came back to life was from eating Lorenda and Jyrras's child. :<
I dunno if it would be that gory; it's essentially a drill, all we'd see is perhaps the wound dripping a bit. Then again, head wounds bleed a lot, so mebbe more than a bit. Either way, I think what she's worried about is less gory and more of a threat to sanity. Or perhaps she knew that being, and that was the memory being accessed. The being did seem to be looking at her face in her private little panal with what could only be called a "why?" expression on his face.

To be honest, I don't even get what superluser was talking about. I looked at both of them and hardly saw any similarities. I don't know if it's just a need to complain or for some people to find something to do with all their spare time.

Is it wrong to suggest that neither of those characters are terribly plain? I think the dark brown fur with the reddish-brown hair really makes the hair pop. I think both have excellent visual character.
A handful of simularities, which from the small amount of the second we see is enough for some to deduce that they're one and the same. Besides, we're fans. We love trying to find little conspiracies in the comics. "Wasn't Cameoweasal dead? But now the cubi have him? COULD HE IN FACT BE INVOLVED WITH WHATEVER DAN'S DAD IS WRAPPED UP IN!?"
Truthfully? I dont remember which font I used. I have a ton of fonts, and when looking around I tend to breeze through them quickly to find a match without really looking at what it's called. And since I don't save the hi-rez versions with words on them, I can't go back and check which font it was. So at the time the only way I would be able to figure it out is to type something in and go through all the fonts one-by-one...which I really don't have much eagerness to do.
As for the plain-ness, I guess it's a matter of opinion.

How many inexperienced cubi will be trapped and tortured to death by the minds that they were going to read ?
Wait.... did I read this right on the Front page? (And I should have considering this is a copy-paste)
"Next will probably be Matilda and discussing Furrae Fashion and the laws that revolve around it."
Ahem.

(sorry, Amber, I couldn't resist...)
And thus the next arc of DMFA will consist of characters stepping on boxes... :B
Bwahahahaha! I can hardly wait.
... hang on a cotton-picking minute.
That's me! Nooooooooo!

But seriously, I can't help but feel a bit wounded if people seriously think the two are actually the same. I would hope between the markings/horns/ears/nose and the fact one only consists of primarily a headshot, that people would be able to deduce they are not the same. If I meant for them to be the same individual, I'd have gone out of my way to make a note of it.
Sometimes it's really difficult coming up with colour/style combinations since anytime I try to make someone plain and uninteresting, people tend to confuse them with other plain and uninteresting things.
FWIW, I looked, and they looked -sort of- similar... but no more. I figured superluser was off on one of his streaks, rather than actually suggesting things. In the same sort of way that Alondro tends to make completely off-the-wall suggestions (speaking of which, I'd really be amused if one of the -really- strange ones turned out to be right. Or at least briefly, in a "What Makes a Comic Great" style mini-arc... followed by a "psyche! And you thought Alondro was right! haha!" type strip. Probably one-panel. :-] ) without anyone really taking them seriously....

Well, it wasn't supposed to be stupid speculation, just sort of an offhand quip, whence I would away. That's why I provided it without comme--
Wait. I'm *known* for my streaks?
Oh, look at the time.... :-)

This is the problem when it comes to mind manipulation of the mind , who and what does when and where ? Where would Dan's first thoughts go ? Matilda seems more mature, , confused yet ! The ins and outs of the cubi mind, along with it's mind patterns has not been fully mapped in this room yet. I feel Dan will never be able to properly read a mind at all ...

He's 25. Barring tragedy he should make 100 times that, at least.

Seems that For both of them it should be safe physically , ( except matilda could give a good grip . However will it be mentally safe . With the mental incompetince of Dan , who knows what next happens to Dan ?
