11/02/09 [AS2 #76] - Getting your priorities straight

From Kria's expression, it might be too late.
I love it that she really cares about him, though.

[Tsunari]

Hmmm, I would think she is still alive, the expression gives me thoughts of she is heartbroken, paranoid, and stark raving insane.

[Feather Dancer]

From Kria's expression, it might be too late.

She'll still be alive, Fa'lina made sure to time it so she would be and Kria even said, "And I will not have her last days miserable due to some twisted punk." She doesn't have very long left for sure tho, Abel's unsure if to really believe Fa'Lina but trusts Kria to the absolute... And she's got to break that news as it's clearly not really sunk in for Abel.

I wouldn't want to be the one doing that, not after such trauma events when he last saw his mother

[Succubus_1982]

Oh no! Sad Kria! My mind can't take that just after waking up. Even if May is not dead I would imagine she is far from 'okay' probably in a really distressing condition that is only going to serve to upset Abel even more.

Feather Dancer, do you suppose you could take a moment or two to re-read your message before posting? There are a couple of blatant typos in in that slowing down a bit would resolve, and it's not like the forum is going to race away without you - it's not a chat, after all, for all that some of the threads behave that way sometimes...

Sorry I always typo a fair bit and don't always catch them, I didn't realise it was a problem. I apologise and will correct now.

[Brunhidden]

is SAIA really that misunderstood that even demons think its a nasty place?

she seems ready to 'adopt' him, despite that hes probably old enough to be a grandparent if he was busy enough...

[MT Hazard]

Abel would be about 63-64 at this point. Not sure of the rate longer lived characters emotional mature at.

Dan always struck me as more like a teenager, current Abel -late twenties, Kria -late thirties/early forties and Fa'lina - late fifties/early sixties .

[joshofspam]

Well I would take it that Kria has been keeping a close i on Abel's mom since Abel's kidnapping.

It seemed that Kria had very close relation with Abel's mom and with Abel too. That's probably a good thing in this mess. After all nothing says leave her alone then a demon who would tear you apart if you looking at her friend funny.

But then with a murder of a resident child by her husband May might have had to dodge a lot of flack from the towns people when Abel left.

After all, theirs more of a mess then just Abel here being kidnapped.

[AndersW]

I love the way Kria is tearing up in the first panel.  It really shows that she cares.

[Zedd]

Honestly I feel a surge of the word reality is about to hit Abel soon enough

[tikitori]

I would think Fa'lina brought Abel there in time to see his mom even with Kria's doting.

Her expression says she doesn't want to tell him the news, is all.

I think we're getting another look at just how rare 'Cubi are, and how little accurate information even other Creatures have about them. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me much to find out the book Hennya read is considered relatively authoritative... even by 'Cubi.

Not only that, I'm impressed by how expressive her ears are.

Hmm. "Did Aniz force you to stay?" Either May never found out about the threat Aniz made, or she never told anyone. The plot thickens. Amber must have stirred it up and added a few more secret herbs and spices.

Difficult to say.  Certainly in this particular time period they don't seem to know much about them.
However, DP and Kria seem to have a better grasp of 'Cubi by the present day.  That and Matilda was able to identify Dan's race simply by looking at him.

[Lego3400]

It's also possible Kria has a low opinion of Cubi in general due to her attitude that one should always declare their deeds.  She just makes exceptions for Abel, because she was his teacher, and Dan because he is strong and has publicly declared all his deeds thus far.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It's not a _big_ problem, it just irritates my OCD-like compulsiveness. ;-]

... And you're not the only one, hence the public request. With any luck, some others will pay attention as well. *grin*

Matilda has that third eye, which has other capabilities, or so I understand - I'm reading between the lines a bit there, though, so I might well be wrong.

Ironically I write some fiction too and yet I STILL don't catch them most of the time


Come to think of it I wonder if Cubi were like the witches in that era. Mostly misunderstood (The faces thing I recall so I don't mean in a happy fluffy way) with a few pricks running around to enchance that wrong reputation. Or hell the being secretive/sneaky thing leading just to guessing to use as scary bed time monsters? Course they appear to have remained secretive/sneaky in present day, likely stemming from the Dragon wars but hey. Just some random musing.

That may be how she can identify people's race, but I guess it depends what she sees.  If she observes something that corresponds to his headwings, that would be a bit of a giveaway.

If she's sensing something more aura-like, or something we don't even have the vocabulary to describe properly, chances are she'd only be able to learn that it means 'Cubi' by comparing it to a known example of that race.

If your race is being persecuted, which may or may not be the case for 'Cubi, that's a pretty good survival strategy.

Matilda: ... But you have a good soul first and formost Dan... And that is what I noticed first about you when you came in with your friend to my shop ...

Matilda seems to have unusual senses even for Creatures.

Dan declared his purpose and resolution very early during their meeting, plus the fact that Kria recognized his name, thus identifying him as the one who kept vanquishing DP.  It wasn't until a bit later that she found out he was 'Cubi.  By then it couldn't detract from her estimate of his character,  but it did add to her estimate of his power.

The spell check helps, within limits, after that you just have to use preview and not be in a tearing hurry.  <sigh>

He also attacked both Regina and DP directly -- without any underhanded sneaky messing about. While such an unconsidered attack was rather unwise - certainly in DP's case anyway - it was something Kria could respect -- and DP seemed to also, once he stopped raging at Lorenda having Dan as her "boyfriend" he actually started thinking of the possibilities of an alliance with Clan Cyra and other such ideas.

Well, it's hard to see why he'd want an alliance with Cyra Clan if he thought 'Cubi were all scum.  And Kria's 'incubus-level hot' sounds like a compliment to me.  That makes me think her attitude has changed over the centuries.  It might be that 'Cubi have become a bit more well-known in that time.

Actually... we don't know when the Creature Council and Being-Creature Councils were formed.  If either of those is a fairly recent development, they could easily result in more exposure for obscure races.

[Attic Rat]

So... May is Undead now?

Just kidding, folks...
