Murphy's Law (Thread 2!)

[Tulio d Bard]

So that you know, I wasn't being serious about that "likes Lloyd specially" thing. I really should have put "ironic" tags around it.

(accept hugs anyway)

I gotta say Coffee, I love the depth you give these characters. There's are just dime-a-dozen adventurers. They actually have backgrounds, quirks, and flaws. You offer hints and glimpses into their minds and what makes them tick. You don't just offer a massive hunk of plot exposition at once, and when you did with Tinder, it was awesomely done.

Overall, I just enjoy this comic, but its the characters that really make it shine.

Thank you.

I'm especially pleased you noticed that because that was a major thing I was aiming for--Distinct, individual, realistic characters that are far from being Mary-sues or a generic guy with a sword--They're wonderfully flawed. They've got their good things about them, and their bad things about them. Each character has a different back story that, combined with some inherent personality, has shaped his/her development and outlook on life in different ways--And not always for the better. The characters have their problems, a bit too overconfident, a bit too hesitant to see the truth. Take Janine. For all the comedy it's worth, her views on romance and relationships and sex in general are very unhealthy. And Radic lets it slide because it's linked to Janine's past. At the same time, Radic has a somewhat unhealthy view of romantic relationships, though not to the same degree as Janine has. (I'll elaborate when the time comes.)

Furthermore, all the characters will grow and change during this story; some more than others, all in different ways. And some of them already started this story in a metamorphosis. Some characters have yet to develop and change, while others are already in flux. Matt hasn't really changed much from his youth, while the Lloyd of just five years ago is vastly different from the Lloyd in the present day. And they'll continue to grow and change, until by the end of the comic, all these characters will have grown so much as people; I suppose I will have too.

In any case, I hope all of you continue to accompany me on this journey.

[John Cribati]

That... That was... rather poetic.

[Lycan 01]

Indeed.


Wait, Janine's obsession with Lloyd is based off of background-related flaws, not just her own personal perversions? Interesting... Plot twists abound!

[Lix Lorn]

Pft. We JUST found out about Janine's background thing!
...okay, maybe not. But it's Coffee, there's going to be a reason.
Besides, -
Is your avatar Sandal-Hat?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Indeed.

Actually, no matter what, Janine would be attracted to Lloyd, especially physically (He is very handsome.)

How she responds to this physical attraction is another manner entirely.

You and your logic.
If your webcomic and... personality weren't so awesome, I'd kill you!

[Silverraptor]

And if I weren't around as well.

[Lix Lorn]

Oh, don't you remember that ship I wrote? I owned you.

[Silverraptor]

Oh, don't you remember that ship I wrote? I owned you.

Maybe...

But what will I do to you in the Paladin Academy story? Decisions, Decisions...

[Lix Lorn]

...
(clings)
Have I mentioned that I love you vewy vewy much and all my power and subordinates will aid you in anything they can?

[Silverraptor]

Oh, very well. Now can you please let go. I need to type and you're kinda preventing me from reaching the keyboard almost.

[Lix Lorn]

...
(Sweatdrop)
(Stops clinging)

[Silverraptor]

Better.

Alright Coffee, threads yours again.

[Asta Kask]

Yeah... with Janine it's really either "Take me!!!" or a DIY.

Edit: Better? I can't see that DIY is worse than 'solo encounter'...

[Lix Lorn]

Yeah... with Janine it's really either "____ me!!!" or a DIY.

Ah, Asta m'darlin'. 'Smuch as I love you for your directness, you might be pushing the boundaries. XD

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ah, Asta m'darlin'. 'Smuch as I love you for your directness, you might be pushing the boundaries. XD

And the conversation above. We only have so much post space, you know.

[Lix Lorn]

Yeah... but I dislike ontopicness. XD

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yeah... but I dislike ontopicness. XD

That may be, but Roland's the sheriff here, he likes ontopic-ness, and his word is the law.

And yeah, Asta, that looks better.

[Asta Kask]

Last page must have been really painful then.

So, Janine has Lloyd in her sights. And Matt is going to make an attempt for Radic. But what about Tinder? Where will he go for love and comfort?

Oh, right. He can shapechange. So he can take Remus for long, romantic walks.

[Lix Lorn]

Bah. Humbug.

TinderRemus? That is awesome and disgusting in... about a 70/30 ratio. XD

[Draconi Redfir]

Tinder's gunna fall for the Elf with a Dragon fettish thats gunna join the party.

[Lix Lorn]

Mouth is open Gicko should be shut. ;P

[CoffeeIncluded]

The psych AP was MUCH easier, and tomorrow's will be smooth sailing (Other than hand cramping from writing 3 essays).

But you know what's fun? Because APs take up so much of the school day, I've had hardly any homework!

SO! I might be able to post TWO updates of Murphy's Law this week!

And...DRUMROLL PLEASE...Here's the first one!!!

#34: At Least He's Warm

I think Matt is just an Elf-lover who can't his face his true nature. He needs to come out of the closet.

Also, doesn't Janine recover a little too quickly from the "Orc thing" being mentioned? The last time we saw it, it caused a minor mental breakdown...

Because last time they were considering an orc as a party member.

...Uh, if I may ask, what do you like about this comic? The only reason I could get it up so quickly is that I did Matt in the last panel before, and I only had to do some slight modifications.

[Closak]

Hah! Poor Matt.

And poor Tinder, almost everyone is out to get him because of his species.

Dear lords, what did Matt do to get himself hurt that badly?
Did he walk into the traps on purpose or something?
Or did the elf push him into the traps so Matt would take all the hits while the elf get's by unharmed?


...Did you change your avatar Coffee?

[Asta Kask]

I wasn't expecting a quiz...

I won't say anything about composition or such, because I know buggerall about that. But I liked the dialogue and that we got to know more about Matt (he used to be a really crappy thief...)

[CWater]

I leave my computer for a little while to go for a walk (and to buy chocolate) and when I come back, there's a new update to cheer up my day!

Hmm...Tobeem seems to be a very cold country, ah, I like the place already. (That last panel is from there, right?)
And I like the detail that you draw the long sleeves on Matt.

So, is that what sprouted his elf-hate or is it just an example?

Oh, and my guess is that the last party member will be a female elf with angsty personality and inferiority complex. Just because it's the exact opposite of Matt's description
