Surprised it's not here yet.
She makes an adorable elderly grandma yet I don't doubt she'd still beat the hell out of you.
We the winners of the bet would like our payment in small bills please.
(She did indeed change her appearance to make Dan more comfortable.)
That said, she certainly does not need to look like the old woman who takes the intrepid young hero on a journey of self-growth and exploration deep into the mountain-scape... :.
Middle ground would be awesome.
(And yes, great grand-children; called that one too.)
"cute old lady" was the first thing that came to my mind too! :U She just looks ever so charming.
Watch as Dan swerves to avoid the plot theme.
Cookies, children and grandchildren. Well it seems like so far Fa'lina and Cyra are par for course similar in grandmotherly duties. Spoil the grandchildren.
Boy, it must be a real treat to be baby sat by your grandmother when she's a tri-wing cubi.
I imagine in long-living Cubi the for desire children carries on for more than one generation, because they really can appreciate it... Also, since she has lost so much of her clan, I would imagine she would really want her family to grow.
His reaction is slightly less amusing than Pyroducks when Fa'Lina brought up the subject of grandchildren.
*rereads comic*
Dan and Cyra never seem to fail to make me laugh though.
Amber really does an amazing job on drawing an elderly Cyra. Just adding crow's feet and grey hair would not have been able to make her look old, but now she really does.
At least in this form she can do something she has probably be waiting hundreds of years to do, hug her grandson.
I'm not sure which of the two appearances of Cyra I like more. The older, smaller looking one is far more warm and inviting... but there's just something *ahem* nice about the more youthful one.
Ah well, by talking about great grandchildren she's entered into that realm that I always dreaded with my grandparents. No short wonder: When I was 16 they were asking about them so yeah, discomfort abounded.
I wonder how long it will take until Dan gets a closeup of that cane.
Charles ohs!: And she also needs to make inappropriate and embarassing passes at your friends on your birthday!

:shapeshifters Not that the children's looks will mater once they hit adulthood :explosion
That's one topic you're never going to get away from Dan. ;)
Geez Amber. First muscle structure and now age? Is there no artistic challenge you won't tackle? Keep it up. ^_^
You know, for some reason I feel Dan is no more at ease with this form than the last one.
:sweatdrop
Nor will he get cookies.
How disappointing.
What disturbs me slightly is the way she keeps probing his memories. Pyroduck doesn't even need to enter the room if she learns of him that way. And AFAIK Dan doesn't know of Pyro's link to Fa'lina.
That and whilst Dan is bound to let this out once they get past the pleasantries, looking into his memories may very quickly show her that Dan is a retired monster hunter who is suspicious of 'Cubi and afraid of becoming evil. She might take that in her stride, she might not...
Regarding grandchildren, SAIA is liable to make that complicated for Dan to pull off in the short term, though he probably doesn't know about said restrictions yet (Cyra almost certainly does though).

I believe SAIA has a policy against getting pregnant/getting someone else pregnant while enrolled. And it is a no tolerance policy as well. Will have to find Amber's post on that.
EDIT: Found it
Quote from: Amber WilliamsThere is no all-field magic that prevents a Cubi from getting pregnant at SAIA. (While there is types of magical contraceptives, they are up to the individuals to place on themselves) However there is an auto-expulsion policy that is zero tolerance enforced.

Also that he's not keen on SAIA, but is slowly being convinced. And that he's scared by the idea that his mother is/was evil. Which could make for a very interesting conversation.

Dan is going to have to face up to it eventually. Yes, it's liable to be weird at first, but he'll get used to it - Cyra assuming a form Dan finds pleasing feels a bit like a mental crutch at best, and deceptive at worst (e.g. how medieval succubi are supposed to assume a pleasing form to seduce their prey). Ultimately Dan is in a position where he's slowly coming to terms with the fact that he's not a Being - Cyra pretending to be Being-like might not be so helpful.
For what it's worth, if I was a member of a race with that kind of lifespan, then yes, I think I would prefer them to be open about it (as opposed to, say, Aniz).

Though yeah, here's to hoping she's at least keeping peekings at a minimum.

Normally when Cubi shift fake-clothes, the clan mark still appears on top (http://aary-kitty.livejournal.com/2068.html), but it looks like Tri-Wings have the ability to hide said markings. She's also hiding her third-wings. So overall, it looks like she's trying to be more modest (again, no joke intended).
I agree that Cyra still looks nice in this form, if in a different sort of way. ^_^
On a Radio Project note, I wonder if I'm going to have to practice sounding old, if someone else is going to do 'old' Cyra, or if I different voice is even going to be used.

Between Cyra's power and the mind-link thing, I'm not sure mental shields would be sufficient. :/ Unless maybe they were put up by Fa'Lina...

Even if he did, they wouldn't really help all that much. Cubi Clan leaders kind of get a pass around a lot of things when it involves their own clans. And while I realize that the whole "accessing memories" thing can be kind of creepy...that is in some ways the intent in that for a Cubi, it's actually perfectly normal and expected that your clan leader has full access to your own memories and information. It's one of the ways a clan leader gets their information: via their descendents out in the world. Admittedly there are ways for one to cut the link to varying degrees, but usually that raises a lot of red flags and tends to result in the member also losing out on their sweet power-boost.
I guess the thing with this strip is that it's a culture shock for both Dan and Cyra. The average Cubi growing up in Cubi-centric lives would expect a larger than life leader who is big and impressive and as such most leaders are more than happy to accomodate that. The average Cubi (with a clan leader) would know that when you tap into your Clan Leader, you are giving them full access to your mental archives. Dan though isn't really average, and Cyra has picked up on that and thus is adjusting accordingly. It's kind of catch 22 in that Cyra didn't know that Dan didn't know about the mental information share until she did the mental information share, so it's a bit of a "oops" on both parts there.
TlDr: One sided Hive miIIiiiiIiind.
I'm willing to guess though that aside from thoughts of "changing who you are" Dan is thinking about how hard it was for him to transform that one time (although he likely knows that it's relatively 'simple' for the experienced, he's probably also considering the size difference).
Also, is the art looking more cartoony again to anyone else?

There's a difference between trawling through memories, and just digging out what you're looking for. Also, Daniel would have been very aware of where he was at the time, so it would have been a surface thought/memory.

hmm. but if Cyra is wanting to give Daniel a grandmotherly conversation (as I assume she has seen Daniel is expecting) she may just be trying to ease him into things. And she's not exactly taking on a being form (though she has put the triwings away... almost makes one wonder if it's even possible to have them out when they make themselves smaller :P), she's just giving him a face-to-face conversation so that they can get on with it. She's very clearly still a Cubi.

Well, since Destania can't really dream anymore, it's probably at least been a while since they last talked, right?
It was stated that she had "long since given up the ability to dream" (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1002.php), which of course led to the thought that communication could only happen in dreams...
However, since then it seems that there are other ways for her to get in touch... she just hasn't been doing so. (I think that somebody is avoiding something~ :.)
Though, on Amber's note of the Catch 22... it's like that time that "Biggs" thought "if you're reading my mind, I'll punch you" Cyra could have not mentioned that she had read Daniel's mind. ... but on the other hand, he'll probably have found out eventually, so she probably figured or even saw in his mind, that honesty would be the best policy (if Daniel found out later, he could feel very betrayed that she had not told him that she could read him like a book and was indeed "expected to do so").

We're discussing her family relations, which assumably are powerful among clan members, not least of all because of the psychic link.

Does elder Cyra look Chinese to anyone else?
Its the kimono.
I also notice that it is now covering her clan mark.
Quote from: Infranscia on April 25, 2011, 04:29:35 PMNormally when Cubi shift fake-clothes, the clan mark still appears on top (http://aary-kitty.livejournal.com/2068.html), but it looks like Tri-Wings have the ability to hide said markings. She's also hiding her third-wings. So overall, it looks like she's trying to be more modest (again, no joke intended).
In a dreamscape, I think shapeshifting limitations like "can't shapeshift the mark away" mean nothing. But even so, while shapeshifting can give the appearance of clothing on any part of the body, using another part (like buttwings) to cover it up is quite likely allowable, just like overtly covering over it with your hand, hair or wing.

His reaction is slightly less amusing than Pyroducks when Fa'Lina brought up the subject of grandchildren.
Well, if you think about it Dan probably wants children. However, he probably does not want to have the awkward conversation of not having found the right girl to have said children with yet. (And I wonder, just what would grandma think of his obsession with Amazons.)
I'm not so sure Dan has hinted at any desire for children, he may be more interested in the happyfuntime that comes before them. :mowwink
Quote from: Amber Williams on April 25, 2011, 04:33:49 PMThe average Cubi (with a clan leader) would know that when you tap into your Clan Leader, you are giving them full access to your mental archives. Dan though isn't really average, and Cyra has picked up on that and thus is adjusting accordingly. It's kind of catch 22 in that Cyra didn't know that Dan didn't know about the mental information share until she did the mental information share, so it's a bit of a "oops" on both parts there.
Kinda reminds me of all those Facebook apps wanting access to your information.
[OT] What does the page titlebar's "bah ram ewe" have to do with the strip? [/OT]

Dan strikes me as the type who wants a family, some day.

Just how often then
does the titlebar have
anything to do with the comic strip?
I've noticed that frequently the titlebar has similar text as the caption under the comic, otherwise it has something to do with the rant (not this time though apparently).
*shrugs*
Amber does as Amber wills.
Amber is Amber, which means Amber does Amber while Amber.
(rumor is that if you say her name enough, she turns into a fraggle.)
... I thought she was already a Fraggle ?

No, no. Amber
thinks she's already a fraggle. She needs our help to actually turn her into one. That's the
true scheme behind DMFA.
I suppose that if Cyra is going to swat Daniel with her cane, it'll be any time now and with a resounding "and next time wear a shirt around your old granny! D:<"
I think she has seen enough (half naked) men during her life, not to really worry about appearances by now.
And if she is bothered, she sure isn't showing it.

I believe that this is the relevant strip on this subject. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_849.php)
With regard to Cyra having seen half-naked men, remember that, like the Shadow, she knows what evil lurks in the minds of beings. That has to be worse than anything she has seen in the physical world.
