Grrl Power #1193 – Kiss monster’s gonna get ya!
Turns out succubi like sex. And also smooching all over people and stuff like that.
Parfait will eventually run out of mana while she’s projecting her lust aura out so far, so yeah, she’ll eventually wind down on her own. However, remember that succubus master/slave thing? It allows the master to use the succubus as a mana battery. The opposite is also true, but the succubus can’t pull from the master without permission. Thothogoth is an Archfiend and he’s doing pretty well for himself. He’s not the most powerful guy out there from the Infernal Empire, as he’s only about Dabbler’s age (remember they went to ‘Hell High’ together) but he’s still got a pretty significant mana pool. If Dabbler has, let’s say, 200 mana, Tom has around 300 (Dabbler spends as much time on tech and gizmos as developing her magic) and Parfait has like… 50? Tom, being the progressive kind of guy he is allows his ‘slaves’ access to a good chunk of his mana unless he knows he’s specifically going to need it for something.
Now if you’re wondering if Dabbler’s larger mana pool means she could do something like this to the Archon HQ, well, that may very well come up on a near-future page.
That’s why Parfait can manage something like this in the first place, and given her inexperience, wrangling her aura is really difficult when she’s super turned on. It’s like a teenage boy trying to get his erection to go down just after discovering he has superpowers, and that power is clairvoyance, but he can’t turn it off for an hour once activated, and it forces him to watch cheerleaders showering. (Don’t worry, it’s all consensual, because… uh… hmm, give me a moment… Oh! It’s part of the latest Japanese Game Show: The Superpower Prank Hour! That’s why the cheerleaders are really intent on soaping each other up and kissing and saying things like “Our totally normal sapphic byplay is greatly enhanced by the thought of someone peeping on us!”) Anyway, what I’m saying about her aura is that it’s far easier to go through than around. I mean, seriously, imagine a teenage boy willing his erection away while being made to stare unblinkingly at that.
The August vote incentive is up! Yeah I know it’s late, so hopefully I’ll manage to get some bonus (read: overdue) incentives up as I attempt to catch up.
Oh no! Sydney’s been injured! A Wampa may or may not have been involved, I’ll leave the exact nature of the incident up to you. It’s not relevant to the picture. And before you’re like “Dave, Bandaged Rei is one thing, but floating unconscious in a bacta tank is probably an even narrower fetish.” just check the picture out.
The Patreon version has nudes and variants, and a comic that reveals something interesting about the orbs.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
I think one of the key things coming out of this is that Dave’s world-building has a rather… unfortunate gap of explanation. Namely, why are there underage succubi at all? Why would someone create a race that apparently has a decade or more of personal growth before they can actually be effectively deployed as either reliable sex partners OR spies/assassins?
This was an element DaveB deliberately placed into his world, without explanation. Almost all the biggest squick regarding succubi in this world derives from them going through a period of pre-puberty, puberty and adolescence that fairly closely mirrors humanity, but makes sure they want sex from a time before most people who don’t deserve to be executed en mass would even want to have sex with them.
Even I have to admit that element, which was discussed in length when the teen one was shown before in the comments is a bit odd, even the Greeks declared Aphrodite formed fully grown from the sea foam. Maybe if they were grown in vats or split like Mitosis or like an external fusion pod where a new one was less born and more formed with a full set of knowledge befitting a bio-android based species.
when they were true slaves, the owners probably didn’t wait. it would explain the extremely extreme offense the bar lady had at the mere suggestion that she was letting a minor do that kind of stuff.
The predecessors of succubi were Frankenstein-style flesh golems, so it’s unclear when and how succubi started being born. Maybe they always were created and just happened to be able to bear children (some side effect of some required magic? Something the demon parts just brought with them?), which then started actually happening only after the creators lost control of their creations.
It feels like the doylist explanation is that DaveB just didn’t work out the worldbuilding conflict between his succubus origin story and having teenage succubi.
He thought he could control teen angst. also, lots of stuff sounds good in your head or in the moment. John Wick movies have that quality- they look awesome but if you spend half a minute thinking about it the plot falls apart.
It’s a manufacturing issue, I suppose. Sure, you could individually manufacture adult succubi, and that probably makes sense if you’re a short lived species or the production run is extremely small.
But assuming that you’re a long lived species, or just that the wizards making them originally had access to longevity spells, you’re making succubi who have reproductive systems, once you start mass production why not make them self-reproducing, so that they’re doing the labor for you?
And, certainly, once the succubi decide to become their own species, being able to reproduce is part of that.
I remember from strip 998 or so it was brought up that by now Succubi are an actual species by this point. They actually get pregnant and have babies that grow up into adults by this point in their lineage, there isn’t anyone making them besides their moms and dads.
It’s a magical species that only looks vaguely human. Their maturation rate and longevity are likely significantly different from ours and any references to human comparisons are for simplicity and humor. In terms of teenage sucubi and “under-age” there are many places in the world that put the age of consent at 14.
>In terms of teenage sucubi and “under-age” there are many places in the world that put the age of consent at 14.
Yea, including my own country and vast swaths of my continent. Far from all of us in the rest of the developed world share the peculiar prude delusion of the Americans that puberty begins at 18 and the tides of teen hormones to the contrary are best criminalized away.
Even the US generally has the age of consent at 16. The idea that it’s 18 comes from the fact that Hollywood generally uses California’s AoC, which is 18. Many states also have a close in age exemption, where a couple who are of similar ages, (generally within 2 years), either have a lower AoC or none at all.
(N.B. Some AoC references will show many states as 18, but they are showing the “even if you are in a position of power over them” age.)
Vote Incentive…
Due to the topological, font, and reflection conditions, when I first read the “Rental Unit” text, I thought it said “Hentai Unit”…
Rental hentai unit.
Because it is being published in October, instead of the intended August, just call it the October vote incentive and be done with that.
I liked that Sponge Bob was waiting to be driven around. Any second now, the orbs will realize that Sydney’s consciousness is over there, and will the leave the sensory deprivation unit (leave 7 holes in the tube) to orbit the rental unit instead.
If Sydney isn’t into girls, then maybe I missed a panel, cause I guess polycule with computer-boi and magic-hacker-girl isn’t gonna work out lol
Heterosexual polycules are quite common. There’s nothing that requires that all members of a polycule be intimate with each other, they just need to be comfortable with other relationships going on.
True. Besides, Syd could still introduce Parf to Flix, Leon, and Krona as part of her own growing hetero polycule. In fact, I think she is gonna do so as part of her frantic schedule, once the backlash from this incident settles down. Although she is probably going to have to summon Parf again *outside* Archon HQ, at least unless she has a sleep potion or three at hand and clearance from Xuriel and the Archon mages.
Most everyone is gossiping about comparing a literal magical alien-demon to human morals while I’m wondering how Sydney is so firmly resisting the aura when she’s at ground zero!
Sydney is clinging very, very hard to her Kinsey 0 rating!!! “Not a lesbian, not a lesbian, not a lesbian…”
I’m surprised Sydney didn’t bubble up and push Parfait away. I’m sure the bubble would block the aura too. She can’t now, it would just block both of them in together, not really what Sydney wants… But it would stop it for everyone else.
I hate to say this, and I really don’t think Parfait meant to do it, but this is really no different from a “Chad” spiking the punch bowl at a high school dance with ecstasy, an orgy breaks out, and multiple rapes ensue. Even at a nightclub, same thing happens, does anyone think anyone would be ok with this?
Sure, the responsible party(s) had a good time, but how many women would get pregnant? How many of the guys would feel guilty or held responsible? How many unwanted hours in court for all involved? Parfait, whether she wanted to or not, has caused an entire military base to go into orgy mode.
At the VERY least she’ll be banned from the base, permanently. If only to placate the powers that be, we’ll be lucky if they don’t decide that Dabbler is included.
Don’t exaggearate. Dabbler is in no real risk of being banned from Archon, because, asides from being absolutely blameless, she is far, far, far more important to the security and welfare of the US and the world than this incident. The powers than be care much more about that than any realistic consequence of this fiasco. Remember what that genetal said, he would be willing to date Deus himself to get a certain piece of alien tech? Well, Dabbler’s expertise is just as valuable to America and the world. Not to mention she is the second most powerful superhuman operative in America’s arsenal.
For the same nepotist reasons if nothing else, I am confident Parfait shall ultimately get away with a slap on the wrist. Sure, her access privileges to the base shall be restricted until a reliable source can certify she got the necessary training to control her powers and/or a chaperone with the necessary expertise and countermeasures at hand (her sister, Zeph, Gwen, etc.) is available. But scarcely more than that.
I took another look at the vote incentive, Sponge bob? (far left) Sydney looks pretty banged up, bruised everywhere, maybe getting “rejuved” and the loaner body is so she can move around and be aware. Lord knows how nice that would of been after my car accident. Not the same as floating in a tank for weeks on end, but pretty close!
Re: Freemage.
The actual answer is likely that Dave did not think things through to this extent.
That said, it is very easy to think of a reason why the succubi as a species picked up the ability to procreate along the way.
If you are an archwizard who sells sex/espionage/assassination slaves to trillions(*) of polities in a large number of parallel universes, you are not going to want to craft every single one of your slaves yourself. And being a fundamentally self-centered inhumane monstrosity (who sees those weaker than themselves as fuel for their magic) you are not going to trust anybody else with manufacturing your wares. Not just for quality control issues but, more importantly, because those workers – who you see as disposable slaves and soul providing batteries as well – are going to use some of those slaves they would build to replace you. And you know just how good your assassination slaves are)
So. instead, they would most likely built their newest slaves with the ability to procreate and then set up breeding farms that produce them by the thousands instead of one every ten days. Because they have historically been shown to be ‘nice guys’ like that.
This probably got glossed over by Dabbler’s “To condense thousands of years of very unpleasant history”
What you’re describing was seen in the “Geneforge” RPG series, by Spiderweb software (you can get it on Steam at this point… though it was retro even when the first game in the series came out. Lots of text, not the best graphics, etc. Spiderweb software is basically one dude, doing all the work). The Shapers are powerful mages who specialize in the creation of life itself. The player character can Shape monsters to fight on their behalf. Other Shapers can shape all kinds of things – including living guns called “batons” whose ammo is thorns grown on special bushes, living crab armor, and a host of servile creations (some of them sapient).
And since breeding is easier than creation, a lot of creations are permitted to breed and make more… well, slaves. They’re slaves. The serviles rebelling against their enslavement is one of the driving forces behind the plot in all five games.
I keep forgetting how much Sydney looks like Edward Elric
