Grrl Power #1352 – Ballroom banter
The following is all totally canon:
Sydney: Ooh! Is that Detla? No wait, her hair is pink. I didn’t know Stygans could have pink hair. Of course Detla is the only one I met. It’s cool that her skin is… uh, what color is that. A murky teal? I bet she comes from a tropical region of Stygan-landia. I’m right aren’t I? Like some part that’s very coastal and flanked by chains of islands. I can just picture people with that skin color hanging out on beaches and swimming a lot and doing Pacific Islander stuff. Or it’s the total opposite and she’s one of the… uh, Fire Stygans. Is Stygan society broken down by element like that? Probably not. >inhale<
Dabbler: Let me play through these memories, then I can answer…
Sydney: So that’s a real Angel, huh? Wait, I met an Angel at the Twilight Council. She didn’t have a flaming eyeball halo. Or is this chick like a high-ranked Angel, like a Seraphim, or a Host. Is that a rank? Like, “Heavenly Host?” Or is “host” just the collective noun for Angels? I’d have thought it’d be something like “A wing of Angels.” or “A smug of Angels.” I mean, nothing against Angels, but the seem like they’d be a little self-important. Where are her wings? Can the contract into her, or are they conjured purely from magic? What products does she use in her hair? With that flaming halo, you’d think she’d need some really expensive conditioner. >inhale<
Dabbler: If I could just…
Sydney: Hah hah, I just realized, “Flaming Halo” is what I should call myself when I get a sunburn. Or if I ever eat so much hot sauce it starts coming out of my pores when I sweat. Can that happen? I mean, I know it can’t, but I think it did once. That or I had hot sauce on my fingers and rubbed my hands on my skin. I made out with a guy later that day and his nose started running. We were kissing, sure, but I always brush my teeth before making out. I meant he was kissing… uh, other parts of me… So does that Angel have a flaming sword or a flaming spear, or a flaming bow and arrow? Aren’t Demons fire resistant? Flaming weapons seems like a weird choice to use against them. I know, it’s not fire fire, it’s like, holy fire or something, right? But why not make it holy ice, right? Wouldn’t it be twice as effective then? Are Demons even vulnerable to cold? Hah! That would mean that Demons are all girls. You know, because girls are always cold. Hah hah. Wait! Maybe girls are all Demons? Ooh… >inhale<
Dabbler: …
Sydney: Is that blue chick the one from Tamer: Enhancer 2? …What? I find time to read. She was a blue, six-armed chick with gold tattoos. Hmm. No, in the book, it said she had a pattern on her forehead that looked like an elfin tiara. This chick just has, like… double eyebrows. I guess she’s just a different member of that race. Wait! Dabbler! This chick has six arms, you have four, and you said you didn’t know who your other mother was, right? (DaveB: This is the chick from TE:2)
Dabbler: My non-succubus mother was a Doppelganger, Sydney. I don’t know what race my father was.
Sydney: Oh.
Dabbler: May I continue with the memory playback?
Sydney: Okay.
Dabbler: >inhale<
Sydney: Where does this take place? Is this Fracture Station? It feels like Fracture Station. Like, not because of the decor in the room or anything, but the “I know peripheral things because of context memories” factor. It’s kind of like a dream, watching this. Is it weird that you were there just before coming to Earth, and so were the orbs, but didn’t we decide the orbs have been here for millions of years… wait, what are you doing with that ballgag?
Please enjoy the increasingly stale vote incentive.
This month, I’m closing on a new house, selling my Mom’s house, finishing packing Mom’s house, moving city to city to the new house, forwarding mail, canceling utilities, all that. And after that’s done, I get to start the process of selling my old house, which needs a little work before it can realistically go on the market.
SO. I’m going to try and do this vote incentive in stages. Currently it’s just pencils. The TopWebcomics one will update with colors and detail until we get to the no clothes versions, then that will continue over at Patreon. Also there will be a comic or two in between each version to fill out the story.
I know it’s hard to tell from just the pencils, but this is Heatwave and Jiggawatt. The comics will explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. Although I feel like even saying that much makes it easy to guess, but hopefully the journey will still amuse.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Dabbler needs to invent a “spectator mode” for these memory playbacks, somehow, or Syddles is going to drive her to an early, alcohol-induced grave.
You know Maxima would enjoy the schadenfreude of Sydney driving Dabbler up the wall when she’s trying to share her memory.
I thought the XXXX collar on Dabs was the same think every Arc member gets, so does this flashback take place AFTER she joined?
Her collar is from when she contracted herself to her master (forgot the name of the big fiery dude). Archon using similar styled collars were either inspired by her collar, or a coincidence.
His name is Tom.
The ARCHON chokers were inspired by Dabbles (she had hers first, they copied her)
If I were to watch media with Sydney, it would have to be bad media. Or at least something where her comments and questions were more interesting than the media itself.
That’s a very low threshold nowadays.
Mean girls, or meme girls?
I assume that would be a “Murder of Angels”.
Or suicide if they’d ever have to encounter Sydney…
So, angels are real, but they obviously not the “conceptual beings crafted to perform the whims of a god” kind.
Just like how demons aren’t innately evil here.
We already met at least one angel, when Sydney first met the Council
Here’s me hoping for a Tamer: Enhancer 3!
me three.!
Is any of actual language? Is it a font? (tried a few sites and failed) or am I putting in too much effort and it’s just drawn gibberish?
when mentally connecting to human ADHD – succubi be surprised.
“angels drool”?
All depends on what she’s drooling on and why
So I guess calling them Heathers has fallen out of favor.
Xerxa-zi
hehe,, thought of Xerks wrap (gamchas)… that it is used by one for so long. (normally used once, then returned to Ether.) that it develops consciousness…
Hmm, the mask on the horny angel looks familiar…
My guess is that halo’s a cosmetic accessory that a lot of the more affluent angels will wear to show off their affluence. And the angel on the twilight council doesn’t wear one there because it’s kind of entirely politically incorrect. Wearing such a halo on the council would simply come as close to guaranteeing that none of the other members would agree on anything the angel said as one could,
