Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
As it slowly but surely builds.
Hi! Welcome to the NINTH thread of Murphy's Law! As you can probably guess, this is an OOTS-style webcomic. It's comedic, yet with an ongoing, in-depth storyline. It starts out with a multiclass Fighter/Paladin named Lloyd Zephyr looking to organize an adventuring party, and quickly mushrooms from there into something much bigger...
So, yeah...Enjoy!

Alternatively, she'll just go back to Lloyd and have him finish the whole healing thing.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I really don't get why Radic is so angry about this. Unless Janine actively seduced her brother so that he'd break up with his girlfriend, then I don't really see the problem with him and Janine having cuddle time together, especially if it'd make both of them happy for a little while. Ripping Janine's head off - not cool, Radic.

Her brother was "going through a bad breakup", so Janine (to Radic) obviously slutted her way into a one night stand. Maybe I'm just not reading this as seriously as I should, Radic's language is more funny to me than super-serious. Going from Harlot to gators... I read it in about 4 different accents.:smallbiggrin: Though it was a bit more than cuddle time.

Janine is, in my mind anyway, a very frustrating person to deal with. With what happened to her when she was growing up, it left her emotionally vulnerable, so she seeks out intimacy to prove her own worth even when it really doesn't. I think that because of everything, Janine doesn't really understand what friendship is.
Then step in Radic. Radic is probably Janine's only friend who's willing to help her get through everything. Most people would either distance themselves or take advantage of her. She's probably got a lot of stress from having to keep Janine in line most of the time anyway, and then she hears this about her own brother?
It was a bit much, but this is a serious betrayal at the best of times made no easier to handle by Radic's constant having to deal with Janine. Even the kindest people can get angry.
Take note of the panel before Janine tells her, it shows she's had to go through this with Janine many times before.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I like the title, we don't get many 1-worded ones, but it's perfect on several levels.
Really looking forward to the next comic, I'm interested in Serrin's reaction/perspective on the matter. This is getting better by the minute!

I imagine finding out your heartbroken brother (Radic actually says 'bad break-up' and implies it immediately followed some favor) was manipulated into a one-night stand with your best friend is going to be a major shock. Give her ten minutes and she'll regret it. Probably.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I have had plenty of outbursts when I was frustrated and felt people hadn't been listening. I usually regretted it later, but it does wonders for making people change. They hate it when you yell at them.
Coffee can attest to my occasional outburst I believe.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Sounds like Janine and Radic both need to make a visit to the self-termination booths. The computer wants them to be happy. To be unhappy is treason.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Been a long-time follower and Murphy's Law fan. I have to say, I really like the depth of character. Even Matt's actions make perfect sense now (in fact, a while back, during the date arc where he's trying to prove himself, I associated best of all with him), and it's really shocking how well-designed everyone was from the start. Though, admittedly, Janine's logic still manages to evade me at times. Keep up the great work.:smallsmile:

A lot of people would consider their best friend's siblings to be off the table. I think this is because of how awkward it would be if you broke up, since the best friend would be torn.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure

I am confused.. who should we side with in this "discussion"? Radic or Janine, my gut says that we are supposed to sympathize with Janine; but for some reason I agree with Radic that Janine did cross boundaries she should not have, though I do think she reacted in the worst way possible.
Also, subscribing to the thread, =P
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I think both. Janine did get out of hand, but she had her reasons and Radic was a little harsher than necessary.
Basically, we should side with Serrin.

Yeah probably, though I would be quite scared of spending a lot of time in her company... at least without having some sort of elemental protection (or better yet, damage immunity).

It's a fair point but the way I see it *someone* is eventually going to want to spend Happy Fun Cuddletime with my siblings. I'd rather it was someone I was fond of.

The correct answer is, we should side with neither, but instead to sympathise with both.

That is definitely true. But the timing was completely off. There's a time to make a move, but immediately after a bad breakup isn't really the best of them...
I also think Radic wants Janine to have a meaningful relationship that isn't just Happy Fun Cuddletime. She's hoping Janine will stumble across what love really means, instead of trying to get together with every man she wants to respect her. As I've said, they've probably had this discussion so many times before that it's driving Radic insane.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Which opens another explanation to why Janine doesn't try to jump Matt. She doesn't care whether Matt respects her or not. That rings really true.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I think Janine does care somewhat about looks and she probably doesn't find Matt attractive enough... or she recognizes that Matt only has eyes for Radic.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Matt has the Will score of a sloth. She could probably seduce him without breaking a sweat. She just needs to ask him if he's ever been with an experienced woman and then kiss him. He'd be putty in her hands (well, not all of him obviously).

I think I'll put it down to Janine's growth as a character, and her desire to truly be a good friend to Radic.

Animals have pretty decent wisdom scores. Matt probably has the wisdom score of a Belkar.
About Janine, Coffee said earlier that Janine doesn't go after Matt because of Radic, among other reasons (and she's probably focusing on Lloyd too much to give any attention to Matt).

Well, Radic probably wants her brother to have a meaningful relationship, and not a guilt-ridden roll in the hay with her nutty friend. We often hold our relative's relationships to great standards...how many people can´t stand the boyfriends or girlfriends of their parents, children or siblings because "they aren't good enough"? Radic likes Janine, but she probably loathes her twisted view of "love" precisely because she likes the rest of her personality.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Now that you mention it, sloths seem very serene and at peace with their surroundings. Until a jaguar eats them. Maybe they are the contemplative mystics of the animal kingdom?
Anyway, Matt has a poor Will save so I doubt he could resist sampling Janine's delicacies for long.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
So poor Janine. Outside, she's a cleric with penchant for bed. But inside, her lust was caused by the perverted master.

Even if Matt has a low will save, unless Janine used a spell like Charm Person or Suggestion he wouldn't have to make a save as Will saves != will power in game terms. As there is no actual rule for that kind of stuff I would probably rule that trying to seduce someone would be either a diplomacy or a bluff check depending on the intentions of the seducer.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Pathfinder has a trait that gives you a bonus to diplomacy and bluff if the other person is attracted to you, so it's probably fair to say that they're at least related skills.
Note that bluff is countered by wisdom too. Diplomacy is countered by experience (or in DnD by circumstances).
-
Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Well rogue do have sense motive as a class skill and there is a point where skill ranks will give more benefit that stat bonus; but I doubt Matt has invested in it (though considering he does likes to use bluff he should invest in it, a master liar shouldn't fall into someone else's lie)
