Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?

[Clistenes]

That's a bit excesive, taking into account that she already knows of Janine's problems.

I mean "going through a bad break-up" can't compare to "repeatly abused by degenerates during childhood". And taking into account what little we know, it seems that Dean an Janine kept a normal, friendly relationship afterwards.

Interestingly, Janine doesn't seem to understand jealously at all: She thought it was OK to do it with Lloyd, Matt and DragonBoy at the same time, and she was trying to make Lloyd love her then (not just to have a quickie)...would she feel jealous herself if Lloyd (or somebody else she were in love with) accepted her but also slept around?.

Also...what does she think of female friends? She has had several, Roxanne, Radic, and now Serrin, does she think that they also want to have sex with her/could be made to like her through sex? And she kind of likes Matt and Tinder but isn't particularly interested in having sex with them...can't she understand it can go the other way around too?.

[Lix Lorn]

Oh god. Yeah, Radic has ****ed this one up pretty majorly.

[CWater]

Yo, long time no see

About the new comic:
Ouch..
A bit...surprising reaction from Radic... Then again, I think she was already getting a bit annoyed with Janine's behaviour. (Remember the Love Potion Incident.) And even if Janine might have her reasons to be like she is, human's are not perfect creatures who always take into account everything and react properly. Sometimes you get angry and lash out, it happens.

Though I suspect Radic's gonna feel bad about when she calms down

[PurityIcekiller]

Yay, new... comic? Oh Astrid... Just when I thought we might get some light-hearted fun, you pull this emotional kicker on us. (This isn't a complaint, by the way. The fact that you can pull off such an emotional kicker is actually good.)

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yay, good to see you back, CWater! And you've got a good grasp of it. Though I can't wait to see what Alagaesian's got to say!

I know, right? I wondered what your long-term goal was with this part of the story arc. But, being a little lazy, I figured I didn't need to ask you. Alagaesian would just write up something random and it'd be correct.

...She just happens to be really good at analysis. And she's gotten things wrong before.

I know. But rule of funny compelled me.

Wait.

Alagesian is a girl? >.>

IN OTHER NEWS: I am an idiot.

[super dark33]

And this thread got stale.
What should be the title for the next one?
I vote for "the last one digit number" or some variation of it.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Alagaesian, you are a girl, right?

[SamBurke]

Alagaesian, you are a girl, right?

I double checked, just because I wasn't sure. The registration symbol is female.

For a moment, I thought you were Alagaesian saying you double checked. xD

[Asta Kask]

I have blue socks, so I'm a boy.

LOL. that is an awesome mental image.

[t209]

I promised! I hope you'll see why the dialogue was tricky to do right. I really hope I pulled it off.

#206: Enough

Outside she's a horny priest, but inside she's just an orphan who was molested by her mentor. Poor Janine . So Dean's the high priest dude? So she did lost virginity in the past.

[HalfTangible]

I caught a Sawk. Does that count?

[Qwertystop]

I caught a Sawk. Does that count?

No, you forgot the plural.

[SamBurke]

We still need to have the mandatory semi-useless argument about what to name the next thread, guys!

I vote for 9: Now a Story with Good Plot.

I didn't see the movie, but I heard more than enough about it.

[PurityIcekiller]

How about "I Hope Chandler Doesn't Get Involved"?

Murphy's Law 9: Things get worse under pressure.

(it's the ninth definition here and seems appropriate for the political climate)

I posted the thread last night; it should be approved in a couple days.

Thats actually a good trend of titles.
Coffee should use these.

[unleet]

I'd say her reaction when Serrin walked in says she's already starting to.

It can be difficult to remain calm when family's involved.

[Clistenes]

Coffee, could you answer my question about Janine lack of understanding of jealously? Does she understand that if a man really loved her would most probably demand exclusivity? And would she demand exclusivity from the man she loved?

And does she think that Tinder and Matt don't like her because they haven't asked her to have sex (when not under the effect of a love potion)?

Does she think that it works the other way around, that is, that if a woman is not interested/willing to have sex with a man that means that she hates him?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Tinder's a dragon and Janine's backing off because of Matt's interest in Radic. Janine doesn't know all the answers--she's pretty screwed up mentally.

[Clistenes]

Mmmmm...so at least she understands that Radic would feel jealous/refuse to start a relationship with a man who already had a lover.

Then again she would have to be very dumb to not realize that women get angry when their men show interest on her, so realizing that other women feel jealously is the easy part.

How can she be a cleric? A person so messed up mentally should have a wisdom penalty.

[Lix Lorn]

No, they shouldn't. Wisdom is as unconnected to any kind of mental health as Dexterity is to making things explode with your mind.

[Qwertystop]

No, they shouldn't. Wisdom is as unconnected to any kind of mental health as Dexterity is to making things explode with your mind.

The odd thing is, since in D&D Wisdom can be connected to making things explode with your mind, I think that counts as vaguely implying that Dexterity is equally connected to mental health.

[Mutant Sheep]

Serrin just wandering in bleeding doesn't make this situation any less awkward.
Are there official ages for the characters? What thread is this information tucked away in, if so?

-A complaint about the dialogue Coffee spent hours upon hours trying to perfect-I think that Radic went a bit overboard with the Olde Insulte words. (No one says HARLOT anymore. it's almost comically archaic. Too serious to really laugh at here, but the word seems odd.)
