Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
I sense a pattern here.
I read it and was intrigued, it looks like it will be a nice story. I'm confused though because I'm not sure exactly whats going on, but I imagine context will be along at some point to enlighten me.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
This is of course the greatest threat to Serrin's survival, and had she inherited her family's genre savvy she would know this. Whenever a hero has to die dramatically, it's always the overly happy one that everyone likes. It's just not as dramatic for anyone else to die, and it'll effect the party the most, especially the ones that were mean to them. Saphrin's threat was not idle, they will never be heard from again.
Enough doom and gloom though, I always considered half-elves to be the really happy ones, they have a quick human metabolism, yet have the playful nature of an elf. The angsty ones must be bouncing off the walls when they get home, all that energy must go somewhere.Game systems I play: DnD 3.5, Pathfinder, Star Wars Saga, Vampire: The Masquerade, Dungeons: The Dragoning, AFBME, Atomic Highway, Dark Heresy, Legend of the 5 Rings 4E, MAID and... EQRPG... Does anyone actually play that?

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Yeah, but I noticed that half-elves are sterotypically angsty about their mixed-race blood. Though this is partially because the full elves are arrogant pricks. Not here though.
Serrin's a bit genre savvy; she had to have picked some things up. And look at the title of that comic again, Serrin's family is safe. And it was Luic who freaked.
Yeah, Serrin's blood is one part hemoglobin, four parts caffeine and red bull. The rest of her family isn't much better. I almost pity her ex-boyfriend.Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2010-09-18 at 04:37 PM.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
I know Serrin's family is safe, but I have the striking of intuition that being Serrin is one of the most dangerous positions in the world.
Hmm, I would imagine that would be painful having so much caffeine running through the bloodstream... Does she naturally produce caffeine? Or is she guzzling down mountain dew and red bull whenever she's off-panel?Game systems I play: DnD 3.5, Pathfinder, Star Wars Saga, Vampire: The Masquerade, Dungeons: The Dragoning, AFBME, Atomic Highway, Dark Heresy, Legend of the 5 Rings 4E, MAID and...

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Serrin is adorable and funny, so of course we all like her
...Just make sure she'll never contract the dreaded disease that all characters in the multistoryverse shudder, often the sad result from authors liking their characters too much, okay?
But seriously speaking, I believe she'll be fine.
Speaking of other things, there was this little short story:
SpoilerThis is really good. (I'll leave the judging of the language, word choices, etc. to those that are native English (I have nothing particular to complain of), and concentrate on the content.)
It's obscure enough to work as a prologue(or as a shameless attempt to tempt the audience), but not too much that you cannot get a grasp of it. The one whose thoughts these are, Alistair he was called, sounds a lot like a villain, at least he has a somewhat villaneus mind, if not outright evil (kills and threats sound pretty Evil, but then again, many things do get pass as Neutral too nowadays, given the right circumstances).
He is obviously planning something that recuires at least one of the two main characters mentioned. At least I assume they're both main characters, I think I can at least recall you mentioning the smoking albino before... And they seem to be somehow special or something, that's why this Alistair needs them. And high-flying plans he has...
Is this Melata gone for good I wonder; how much can a ghost affect things in Aequar?
By the way, that Messenger that is mentioned, I remember you speaking of "a Messenger Arc" concerning the current Murphy's Law -story, these have anything in common?
Buut, all in all, I liked it. The story moved along smoothly and you could follow Alistair's thoughts without too much trouble, i.e. the subject didn't change too quickly for it be annoying. Many hints, but nothing concrete, works for me. I hope the sequel will arrive one day, I'm already curious. This Alistair is interesting as a character too.
Hmm...I think that's all I have to say...oh, I also likeed the noodle theme, it helped holding the story together.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Yeah, like anyone would ever want to be my boyfriend.
Then I guess it's a Mary-Sue thing?
What was that one again? (PM please).
Thank you! But what's that disease?
Thanks for the review, CWater. And the only thing I'll say is that Alistair doesn't care much for noodles, but they were Melata's favorite food, and he knew it. Kinda puts his oh-so-slowly eating the perfectly-cooked noodles while sitting on top of her grave thing in a whole new light, doesn't it.
Why yes, Alistair is arrogant.My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Don't be that way. Share your interests with the boys and you might be surprised. And even if they're not interested what have you lost? Nothing. That's what.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Thanks guys.
You mentioned it right above in your post.
Then again, he didn't really express any real hate towards her, more like respect.
Alistair and Melata were the ultimate rivals; they both knew that one would kill the other in the end, and they both set plans and counterplans in motion, and basically affected the entire plot of the sequel. However, even though they were both rivals and the winner would murder the loser, and they both knew this, Alistair and Melata had enormous respect for each other and each others' intellectual abilities. They were worthy opponents, and could have been friends in another world, and they both knew this.
That's why Alistair actually buried her, why, even though he taunted her with his imminent victory, he made sure her epitaph bestowed the highest praise, and left a dish of her favorite food on her grave.
If it were Melata who had killed Alistair, she would have done the same thing.Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2010-09-18 at 08:24 PM.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
I'd write a My Immortal style badfic, probably shipping those two from the sequel, probably as a stereotypical high school fic, but I think I'd start taking sanity damage from the misspellings I'd need to do.
And I value the tiny amout of sanity I have left.
Come on, what else were you expecting from me? I'm not saying anything else about the sequel, though.Recent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
You're a great girl with a good heart, a sense of humor, and a love of DnD, webcomics, and other "nerd stuff" most girls hate. You are a rare breed that many guys I know would fight tooth and nail just to be friends with, let alone date. Don't be too hard on yourself.
Excellent short story. Very well written - even though he's the bad guy, you have to respect Alistair and the way he regards his fallen foe. Even as he mocks her, he still shows some respect for her. And maybe hints of... something more?
Good comic update, too. Its fun to see Serrin spazzing out and aleviating the group tension.
Also, you live in NYC, right? Where you there when the tornados hit? I saw stuff about that on the news...Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

Thanks. I feel I'm not too good at writing prose. At least, I'm not that great at description, which I why I prefer the webcomic format.
Actually, I was in the middle of a swim meet. Even inside, we could hear the thunder.
