10/17/2010 [DMFA #1157] - Not going down t' Pit

[Tapewolf]

Apparently Wildy is going to be coaching Dan after all...

[Anker Steadfast]

Well, it's a good attempt at trying to pacify him.
Not sure if it's all that successful, it seems Dan is not quite as susceptible to her feminine wiles as previously imagined.

Also, Fi is totally enjoying himself in the background.



On a sidenote, Amber linking Beyond the Veil is awesome.
Even more awesome is that there's a Mow at the fight.



I've been reading it for a while and it has moments of greatness between the wildly fluctuating art and fillers.
There's great potential in it, and both artist and writer seems both quite capable and entertaining.

I expect that once they've done the webcomic thing as long as Amber has, that they'll be telling truly epic adventures!

Mmm, force fed balls of yarn.  It's like my Egyptian dream where I'm hand fed grapes by beautiful women.  Only this time it's force fed yarn.

Eh, close enough.

[ShadesFox]

Certainly a good way to up the fiber intake.  Though I'm not giving up the wine and grape dream.  With amazons.

[bradypodidae]

Wildy has to have ulterior motives... unless she's on board strictly for the entertainment value.

[Naldru]

Nobody's mentioned recently that Wildy could be looking for another meeting with Regina.

I don't think that Wildy was invited was she?

And threats of violence don't count? Dang I should inform my sister of this, she's been doing it wrong for years.

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Yarn?  Oh oh  Me ME ME Give me the ball...  OOOO Oh oh ooo Me  Aaaaawwwwpleaeeeeeeeeese

But, Wildy may not be invited, that is not going to stop her from playing Dan's backup and watching the Drama from the tree in the yard.

Dan is finally growing up if the ball pit has so little effect..

**Dives into ball pit**     Weeeee

I can certainly say that my eyes scream "Feed me a yarn ball please"!

I personally think that Wildy is helping Dan not only for her own amusement, but in hopes that Regina will show around; so she can get her payback. As Prof B Hunnydew mentioned, she could hang out in a tree in a yard and spy through the window; and the second Regina or any other crap goes down make an entrance that only Wildy can do. 

[joshofspam]

Wildy has a way of using things in a way you wished she didn't.

But I think Wildy won't be to far behind Dan if this is another one of her start a fight routines. She was there first hand when Dan and Meriltz got into a fight at the night club. Maybe Biggs has enough pull to demand invitations and his sister will beat his demand out of him.

Ahhhh, Brotherly and Sisterly love.

Silly Dan, yarn is the best kind of wile.
In other aspects, liking the Dan-face here, looks more like Dan while keeping the upgrade in art style. Here's hoping at the end of the day you can find a way of drawing them that makes you happy.

[MT Hazard]

I do wonder about creature maturity relating to age.

Dan seem to being forced to grow up over the last few weeks (comic time) and I've always amazed at ambers ability to portray characters who seem to fit in a particular age group* (e.g Fa'lina is definitely an older woman, late sixties perhaps, while Kria seems more late 40's ) but despite there age they often seem slightly immature. This can be in sharp contrast to the being and half being characters.

Dan could live for thousands of years, could the apparent immaturity of creatures serve as a safe guard for their sanity?

What's the point in living for thousands of years if you can't have fun?

[Attic Rat]

It disturbs me that Dan is being the thoughtful and cautious one in this conversation.

[lilpuppy23]

I notice the yarn ball pit is quite large, and quite deep.

I wonder how much yarn is in there?

[D'ymkarra]

Well said.


Has anyone else noticed this is probably the first time a threat of violence from Wildy hasn't gotten Dan to back down?

[Prof B Hunnydew]

This is the big kid pool..... he hehehehe   **batting yarn balls at little puppy23 **

So this is where Fi went  to.

Not as much as there used to be !

.. on a related sidenote, a small island which wildy visited recently, suddenly has lots of yarn popping out from nowhere !

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'm sure Wildy left a thriving business there, shipping all the stuff back to Lost Lake and selling it back to the original owners...

[Anker Steadfast]

Ahaaa ... so that's why Wildy never has to go to work!

Clever.

[joshofspam]

I'm not sure, but could Dan be maturing a bit?

We know he's getting over things he just assumed about creature. But some beings seem to have a nature just as questionable as Demon's. Maybe the relation to Biggs and Dan's mother working for him has him questioning anything that sounds like manipulation that comes from Wildy. It does seem that he is progressively getting more challenging with her.

Though sometimes I wonder if Dan's always had a blind spot for "being" evil or if Wildy and Biggs had an Angel for a parent?

[terrycloth]

I don't see anything here that isn't typical Dan behavior. We've never seen him be prejudiced against *demons* -- just cubi. And even that was only after he found out he was one.

I thought Cubi's had a more general prejudice against them then other demon races, the whole shapeshifting and mindreading thing makes many nervous.  Throw in souleating by a few bad apples, they all become guilty by default.  Dan learned his cubi lore from other adventurers.  The Whole Dragon and Cubi war should be remembered by many creatures, too.

I look at Dan in the first panel and kinda see Cid, but without the goatee and half as many hair locks.

[joshofspam]

Is this plot still going to Destania's plans?

What if Regina was the actual target? That would  make the whole point of Dan going to this party pointless to her. But could that be what Wildy is for?

The party is to distract Dan, I think.  I would be surprise if Kria and Destania aren't friends in some way.  Yet an interesting question, Would Destania employ Wildy into her plans, even indirectly (Having "Biggs" trick her into doing something for the main plan?)

Hopefully Fi doesn't "eat" all the balls. Who would be stuck with paying for them?
