And Mab proves her plan to be in line with the forumites ideas.
In other news, hell is freezing over. More on this at 11.
awww... Mab is protecting Jy Jy!
if I weren't so mad... I'd hug her and brush her tail!
***pssst, edit your title to include the date***
But from whom?? Himself?? The fans??? Or the least person we would suspect?? The french??
This scene also reveals a possible ulterior motive. She states that she looks forward to having Jyrras resolve his emotional problems so that he can get back to work. That suggests that Jyrras's work in his laboratory is part of her plan. The wheels within wheels turn slowly but grind exceedingly fine.
Edit:
I thought the group you never expected was the Spanish Inquisition.

Everyone needs protection from them.
Also, glad to see it's simply to protect Jyrras, and make him get back to work.

Also, Mab reminds me of the babe.

I suspect that the poster was watching a baseball game (http://underscorebleach.net/jotsheet/2004/10/tim-mccarver-sucks). I don't think I've ever heard the person, but he appears to generate strong feelings.
Jyrras is a catalyst sought after by both sides, whichever they may be? (Remember, evil and darkness, not always on the same team...)
That's how I'm reading it, anyway.

I believe that the request was for information about Tim McCarver: http://www.timmccarver.com/about.html (http://www.timmccarver.com/about.html). (Judging by the palette on the page, his sense of color is horrible.)
what do you know Mab is a smart girl. Have a high ranking Fae 'curse' Jyrras so that he has a level of protection from creatures, OK high level of protection due to Albiaon's position on the creature council.
That allows him to go to work with doing the thing he loves, making tech in his hidden lab.
For a seemingly simple girl that plan has many complex and detailed parts.
This only proves that Mab is not just your average bubbly character, she's smart, cunning and has much forethought in a given situation.

Right. So what did she do with the real Mab? :mowmeep
Well the Demonology 101 does say that Fae will do a sort of 'Role Play' since they live so long. It could be safe to assume that Mab's playing the role of the cute, bubbly Fae.
Oh, my goodness gracious! Who would have thought our adorable little Mab could be so devious? And I wonder what projects Jy is working on that Mab is referring to by her "Get back to work" statement. Could it be something to do with Death Bringer (Remember Deebs, everyone?)?

Patches
Weapons
AI

Dan, with his mighty spirit sword imbued the power of all the slain Cubi souls would trounce Mab in a climactic battle the likes of which are so grand and magnificent they could never be animated even with the most advanced CG imaginable!
And then the world would explodiate and the comic would turn into something about human workers with bad managers, thus ensuring huge ratings. The End! :3

Damn it, guys, stop giving her ideas! :U
perhaps suggesting DMFA updates Mondays, mikelo on Wednesdays, apartment complexity on Fridays, and abels story probably ending to take some of the load off.... eh, makes sense but would be a little confusing.
on the note of dan having to defeat mab and the fae... part of the charm of DMFA is that nobody really has power. the fae and demons and whatnot may be powerful but theyre still people and such. dan is not a level whatever paladin, jyjy does not do 12 D6 damage with his gatling guns, and all the bad guys know that blowing up the world means your bored for a very long time. perhaps though finding a loophole, like finding out a common household item repels fae or finding a way to seal them in bottles or whatnot- i could not imagine dan swording mabb, but i could see him cram her into a bottle and shake it like a all hell

Given the main thing Mab has personally contributed to in his lab is the patchs, one could assume that this is that Mab refers too. Alternatively, if one considers the natural abilities of Fae, it could also refer to "technological" weapons which Fae supposedly has least power over..

Looking thoughtful.

That's going to be Labyrinth. Curiously I came across the following while digging up some obsolete code:
//
// What kind of magic spell to use?
//
//#define USE_DLMALLOC_SBRK // Fast on EVC3, broken on EVC4, trim totally broken on CE
//#define USE_JOES_F***ED_SBRK // You don't want to know
#define USE_STOLEN_PERL_SBRK // Very, very fast, works in EVC4 but doesn't trim
**EDIT**
I hasten to add that this code isn't being used anymore. And we
did ask the author of the Perl-CE port if we could use his sbrk() implementation :3
...and now we are very, very offtopic.
