Grrl Power #1281 – Match game
Imagine onid kids playing dodgeball in middle school, only they play it with rocks because they’re a hardy race, then some kid gets clocked in the fun-knee bone and has to spend the next hour with a tingly stiffy. It’s the kind of thing that the other kids won’t let anyone forget, because middle school is hell. (Or so I’m told. I went to a Montessori school – partly because my mom was the vice principal there – but my middle school years were totally fine. That said, going from a class with 20 kids and two teachers to public high school the next year – my graduating class was something like 800 kids – was a bit of a shock.) But I’m told that middle school is where kids really start to figure out cliques and bullying and body shaming and gossip. Of course, learning about all that as an adult, it sounds ridiculous because anyone who has finished their primary education knows that nothing that happens in middle and high school means jack shit the second you graduate. Well, maybe if you had a violent diarrhea attack in the middle of a basketball game and it got smeared all over the court and 40 people got cholera after slipping and sliding around in the immediate aftermath. That might get talked about after graduation for a while. But otherwise, stuff like “Suzie got her bangs cut weird” doesn’t have the staying power middle schoolers think it does.
Of course, a mixed alien middle school would probably be worse? Different species with wildly varied physical abilities, even differing senses, learning speeds, memory retention? It’d make for a challenging social and teaching environment, that’s for sure. On the plus side, they would probably have anti-diarrhea lasers built into the plasma ball gym, so incidents of that nature would probably have better outcomes than Earth schools, so, six of one half a dozen of the other.
The new vote incentive is up!
It’s Escorpia/Sciona, fresh off her successful… extortion campaign? I’m not sure if extortion is the right word. Addicting someone to superpowered narcotics then withholding to compel directed behavior? Kind of a ransom/extortion/generally being a butt kind of thing. There’s probably a better word for that. Anyway, check out Sciona’s business casual getup at TWC, and Patreon has a bunch of… let’s call them increasingly casual variants.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Told ya’ tha’ noises were a ‘cool’ thing. ^_^
Only us cool people can appreciate such cool things.
This is absolutely true.
Looks like Dabbler scored another square on the “Make Maxima say stuff”-bingo card.
I really want to see someone win that one day.
I’m holding out for the General to win. The leader of ARC was a general, wasn’t he?
General Faulk, yes
That would be unexpected. Has my vote, either that or Ariana.
We don’t have any Faulks here. Certainly no Faulks to give.
And whose Faulk is this?
Damn you. Damn all of you.
Release the ninja death squads.
In case you are new here:
Bad puns are Pander’s Kryptonite and he uses ninja death squads to rectify the matter.
Consider yourself warned….or possibly challenged.
I’m not new here, and I’ve already had lots of ninja squads after me. ;)
(Also, Pander is a “she”.)
I never had any ninja squads sent after me. I feel left out. I pun too! Why doesn’t Punder sent any for me?
Dorkasaurus: You hang out with those miscreant reprobates long enough you will. Has to be more than just Punder though or I’d be spending the equivalent of the GDP of Spain on Ninja Death/Hit Squads.
Lady Tamer isn’t on her card though.
What kind of medical data did Math see that allowed him to derive that funny bone?
Sounds like the supernatural powers that his martial arts give include some sort of tactical super-intuition or target vision.
Probably a nerve diagram.
Most of our arm and hand nerves go through a protected channel along the bone. Just the Ulnaris nerve runs over the elbow no sensible reason. That is humanities “funny bone”.
Humans have several anatomical oddities, shared by other mammals too.
The nerves for the voice chords loop around the heart arteries, it makes some sort of sense in a fish, but in a giraffe it’s the “this doesn’t make any sense” way of nerve routing. In humans the distance is less exaggerated, but the base principle is still there.
It made sense when we were fish.
Another argument against intelligent design
Personally, the fact that retinas are backwards was enough to do it for me. There’s no excuse for that at all, if you were designing an eye to BE an eye. As intelligent design is meant to be an alternative to evolution, features that you can’t explain except by referencing evolutionary pathways, (There are a lot of them!) just render it implausible.
I figure God just got the whole shebang going, content that intelligent beings of some sort would eventually appear, and didn’t sweat the details.
As far as I am concerned, all these flaws of evolution are all the more stuff to correct for future humanity when we get to use genetic engineering safely and effectively. In perspective, one good way humans can honor their heritage and fulfil their potential is to improve on the flawed work of evolution (and God for those who believe).
Intelligent design is foolishness. The only working way to reconcile religion with scientific evidence is to assume a creator deity started the whole thing at the Big Bang with all the right parameters to make intelligent beings eventually appear, but didn’t sweat the details as you say.
My understanding of the whole Intelligent Design concept is that God purposefully set things up so that things would evolve exactly the way they have (at least up until Original Sin threw a monkey wrench into things, but evolutionarily speaking that would have happened roughly yesterday, considering it was stated to have occurred with anatomically-modern humans). That’s not incompatible with the theory of evolution – indeed, the whole idea was meant, to my knowledge, to reconcile the idea of God creating all the species ex nihilos (as described in the Old Testament) with the observed effects of evolution.
The “intelligent design” concept is “we lost a court case which means we can’t teach creationism in schools so let’s rename it and only reference God by winking and me might be able to sneak it into schools”
Yeah, I’m convinced that, at some point, we’re just going to have to go with a blank sheet redesign. Maybe generate a high level source code, and recompile. There are just too many problems that are locked in, would require system wide fixes to do anything about.
Of course, kiss backwards compatibility goodbye if we do that. We’d just be making a completely new species that happened to look like us.
I like to call it the “petri dish” theory. If there’s a creator, this planet is an experiment in a petri dish to see if the ‘scientist’ could create life. They succeeded and moved on, putting the petri dish on top of the fridge and forgot about it.
There’s an episode of the Simpsons kind of like this theory (I had it first!) where Lisa creates life with her tooth and some soda.
The fact that vertebrate eyes have communication nerves in front of the receptor cells while cephalopods have the nerves behind the receptors tells me that eyes have evolved separately at least twice. This also means that octopuses do not have a blind spot because the nerves do not have to go through the optics layer to get to the brain.
That fact tells me that we’ll eventually learn later in the comic that cephalopods are actually space aliens.
Mutation fixation rates mean that evolution by natural selection is mathematically impossible. It’s a shitty religion, masquerading as junk science, and its adherents suspected as much back in the 60’s. Whether it was aliens or something else, something guided the development of life on earth. The math makes that painfully clear. Just letting you know. Of course you’re the kind of midwit who chirps “I effing love science!!” while swallowing every peer-reviewed (but unreproducible) paper you read like it’s from Zeus himself…so I know math doesn’t mean a thing to you. Just smart enough to think you’re a lot smarter than you really are.
“Mutation fixation rates mean that evolution by natural selection is mathematically impossible.”
Show your work.
Are you talking about modern mutation rates in humans because ho boy mutation rates are terrifying.
Over 75% of our DNA is Junk DNA (actually what its called, but like rope not what we normally think) meaning it is nonfunctional filler. Without the junk and just two humans of “Pure” DNA it would take over 25 million pregnancies to produce an offspring viable of breeding. Mutation rates are scary high, we are just protected against these random shots in the dark because our DNA is a barn door and the part that matters is a sheet of paper.
Pretty sure that’s wrong. While it is true that a majority of our DNA appears non-functional, that wouldn’t help our necessary DNA avoid mutations, as mutations aren’t a fixed rate per total genome, they’re a fixed rate per base-pair (about 1.1 x 10^-8 per site per generation). As such, our “good” DNA is going to get the same amount of damage with or without the extra “junk”.
Also, the pufferfish genome is oddly very low in “junk DNA”, but they still reproduce just fine.
Each new human has roughly 64 mutations in their DNA, most of which don’t make a difference (DNA handles minor modifications pretty well and there’s also redundancy).
If I would be designing humans in way they won’t mutate, I would use reed-solomon error recovery codes.
So instead of trusting peer-reviewed papers, we should trust some random obnoxious provocateur on the Internet who doesn’t even show his work! Can’t even begin to reproduce that!
So evolution cannot explain life as we know it, but aliens can? Sure, why not. New question, then: how can you explain aliens? Did they evolve naturally, or was it other aliens? Is it aliens all the way down?
And She’s still waiting for them to appear, on this planet at least :P
I think most people who dismiss evolution have no concept just how long Millions of years is.
And are dumb enough to listen to “Intelligent” Design proponents and their idea of mathematics and statistical probability.
He probably asked dabbler for an anatomical chart for their species as a way to ‘level the playing field’. Since they’re dealing with aliens now it doesn’t surprise me that Dabbler would be filling them in on the different species she knows for the people who need to target weak points.
We know he’s seen medical data (https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1277-team-boy-abs/), I was just wondering of what kind, because he was unlikely to take a lot of time to go over lots of diagrams in detail, and it’s not like he has a M.D. either who should know what he’s looking at. I wouldn’t expect that kind of knowledge from a quick overview, so I’m suspecting his power gave him a few pointers.
It occurs to me! If Math does have a power, it’s likely it’s something about sensing life, or nerve structure, etc. Back when he met Sydney (https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-120-faceball/) he got smacked with an orb – and while the below-the-strip extra bit shows that he didn’t actually get knocked out, it’s pretty clear that getting hit, at all, WAS unexpected – and on multiple occasions, different characters with different perception abilities have been unable to get ANY kind of reading from the orbs. So
(whoops, cut myself off there)
So while it’s just as plausible he really was too distracted by Sydney’s easily-dodgeable punch to pay attention to the orbs (and was in a safe enough space that he wasn’t taking it seriously enough to consider her a credible threat), it does imply the possibility that he has some perception power, that like everyone else, is just incapable of even acknowledging the orbs.
Or maybe his power is sort of like Karate Kid’s or Karnak’s where he can intuitively figure out the weakest point of any person or object with the capability of using his own physical strength, speed, and precision to affect it. I remember seeing where Karate Kid did that to Lex Luthor when he was encased in ice, and with Karnak, it’s pretty much his entire deal in every comic that he’s in. I think Gamora can do that too, but with her it was learned instead of a natural power that makes her ‘the most dangerous woman in the universe.’ She did teach a few of those techniques to Jennifer Walters so she would be able to defend herself against supervillains if she wasnt turning into She-Hulk.
I’m reasonably sure this was later subtly shown to be Math deliberately running below his skill level for reasons.
Possibly he thought of her as lacking confidence for some reason. Her victory dance afterward may have corrected that impression.
In a later strip he basically dances around everything she can do, and then delivers the advice “three moves ahead” after more or less showing that he had earlier been slumming. Sydney saw the advice as really profound.
Probably given by Frix, since Frix is the ‘doctor’ on board Cora’s ship.
The legacy code is riddled with spaghetti, lotta tech debt in biological design
So the people referencing Star Treks Rura Pente fight weren’t far off?
I mean he doesn’t keep it there – but the nerves run there.
Maxima saying Lady Tamer seems kind of like a non-sequitur, unless I’m missing something.
Given Maxima’s convictions and her hatred of misogyny referring to a “male member” as a “lady tamer” was bound to go over really badly with her.
Either that’s what his species calls it and Dabbler was using their translated word for it, or she’s just straight up trolling Maxima again. Even odds on which one.
Oh, the second one for sure
It’s originally in Dabbler’s list of body parts Math’s strike affected, funny-bone-wise. Max is basically reacting in that incredulous “did you really just call it that?!?” way. I would expect it to be followed by “Seriously?” and an obligatory eye-roll at Dabbler, but since there’s no space for that due to the fight, brevity wins out and it’s not there, though Max will likely be grumpy about Dabbler’s phrasing later, even if it’s just in private.
I suspect its also on her card of “things to get Maxima to say”
“What’s your actual skill level?”
Math: “Yes.”
That’s always going to be a question Math will *never* answer, other than with “Better than you”.
How could he actually answer it? He’s beyond any human ranking systems (plus those are only loosely associated with combat skill level), and if alien ranking systems account for his level, he wouldn’t know them. I mean, if he had access to his character sheet he could say he’s a Level-Whatever Monk (a variant without the obviously supernatural Advantages) in a d20 system, or give his skill levels in Acrobatics, Judo, Karate, etc (the latter two are generic terms for advanced grappling and striking unarmed martial arts), his Style Familiarities, etc in GURPS, or whatever. But he doesn’t, so the only way he could answer it would be something like “Better than anyone I’ve ever fought,” which doesn’t really give any more information than “Better than you.”
Or “Just below Maxima”, since it’s been stated a couple of times that she’s the only one that bested him in a straight (or as much as that could be) sparring match.
Dabbler managed it, but with magic shenanigans to close the gap.
Oh, and of course, “boobies style” by Jabberwocky.
In terms of skill, he’s probably above Maxima, she just outstats him so heavily he doesn’t stand a chance unless she restricts her powers.
He’s a high level unarmed fighter, probably 10-12th level, with exceptional human physical stats.
Maxima’s probably a 4-5th level fighter/expert with a really, really broken template attached, much like Superman.
High stats and abilities can totally cover for being lower level.
A fight between Math and Maxima probably goes the same way the fight between Karate Kid and Supergirl went in Supergirl Issue #22 (also with one of the WORST pictures of Supergirl’s face I’ve ever seen in any comic, anywhere).

Although Cassandra Cain in a different issue did manage to almost kill Supergirl. But she did also have stuff like diamond dust to blind her and red solar radiation emitting swords. But Cassandra also was able to easily get through Superboy’s Tactile Telekinesis without any special gadgets.
Superboy: “You… you got past my impregnible TTK shield. I… I feel so… PREGNIBLE!”
Maxima also has super speed. If Math tries to fight her, she can just speed up and dance around him while to her appears to move in slow motion, and slap him around at will. He never hits her and never dodges one of her strikes unless she allows it.
Thats also something supergirl did at one point. She was taking it easy on him
If she goes easy on him, I think she’d just dial herself down to the point where they can have an even fight, which probably lets both of them learn the most.
That would make sense. Especially since Maxima occasionally has to fight people on her level (or above it, as in the case with Vehemenece when he was powered up. So relying solely on her powers is a recipe for defeat. But if you can learn weak spots and good fighting technique, you can still beat enve a superior powered person, like she was showing in the quarry.
It’s the difference between being a fighter and being a jobber, to use comic parlance. :) It’s also the reason why Superman and Supergirl are ever able to actually beat Darkseid, who is canonically more powerful than they are – Supergirl does things like using Darkseid’s own Omega beams against him, and Superman does things like covering his eyes at the point of firing his Omega beams so they blind DARKSEID.
Yeah, this is actually an undervalued benefit of her powerset – the ability to train without her full power and therefore be able to gain fighting skill from sparring against weaker opponents.
More likely he’d just make something up that sounds cool on the surface but is actually ridiculous if you think about it at all, like his claim to be a 999th-generation martial artist. That would mean his family has been practicing martial arts–and keeping track–for roughly 20,000 years.
Could that also work if both sides of his family before him were martial artists for 5000 years, not just one line for 10000 years.
It would be a weird way to phrase it, and not normal for English. I’m not sure the math (hah) works out that way either. A generation is usually taken to be 23 years, which is where Bill’s estimate comes from. Taking both sides just divides it in half, so still 10,000 years or so. But if you count “every martial artist in my family tree” as being one generation, if they’re all martial artists then that’s only 10 generations by the usual count (assuming they’re all strangers). I don’t know how it could be counted if say only half of them were martial artists (I keep wanting to spell “marital artists” which is completely different but this generational counting is messing it up).
In this world though, Atlantis and Mu were probably a thing, so maybe there were 23000 years of a single line of artists.
For that matter, there’s probably a Hidden World (or a Hollow Earth) complete with dinosaur martial artists. And shrew martial artists that came up to the surface at one point to get away from them…
Where do you think Hamster Style came from?
Hm, well Math is most probably used to sparring with Maxima and we do know how fast she can be. This ought to be interesing.
It’s also known that Maxima can beat him in sparring.
But Sylv probably isn’t near as fast as her, and she often dials down her super speed while sparring, so Math probably still got valuable experience from her.
“I saw how fast you did move!”
“Yes, yes… But that’s not how fast i *can* move!”
Insert the “I’m not left handed”/”I’m not left handed either” kind of banter.
star trek, princess bride, I need a star wars and a storm light archive reference for my bingo card.
Princess Trek
I know this might affect my nerd cred, but what’s storm light?
Book series by Brandon Sanderson. Excellent, I would advise giving it a try.
The Stormlight Chronicles by Brandon Sanderson. I believe it has five now withe latest having a cameo from one of his other series about mana being color. in Stormlight Chronicles magic is sound.
“You’re amazing!”
“I ought to be after practicing 20 years!”
“There’s something I ought to tell you too.”
“Tell me?”
“I’m not left handed EITHER.”
Princess Wars :
You don’t have a left hand either.
Lapha in the background, eyeing Dabbler with bad intent…! (Hey Aqualung!!)
No, both Laph and Gar were looking past Dabbles at the action on the field, until they heard how Maxi reacted to ‘Lady Tamer’ :P
Salvation ala mode, and a cup of tea.
He’s just seen a ‘normal’ human despatch all of his comrades with a single blow each and he thinks he’s just got the jump on Math. I wonder how humiliating this defeat is going to be?
I’d say he’s not going down in one move. It’s poor storytelling to have Math own everyone of his aliens opponents without any blows landing on him. I’m wagering 3-4 more pages before resolution of this fight.
The problem is that it is one on one. Next round will probably be 4 on 1 once they realise he is better than them individually. They might restrict themselves to two at a time rotating or something before really going 4 v 1. Then things get interesting.
Yeah. Dabbler. The only person with a clear idea of everyone involved. Considered the odds close to 1-1.
They will likely increase the challenge to 2 opponents next. After everyone has had a chance for a one to one fight.
With the proper mindset, it’s never more than 3 opponents: the one I just dealt with, this one I’m dealing with now, and the next one. The trick is making sure your movements allow you to chose the order. With more than 4-5, they just get in each other’s way, TBH. Like w/ an orgy.
Oh, I’m pretty sure Dabbler has done “twister orgy.”
“Left…hand (we’ll just call it that), yellow”.
For that matter, I’m certain that humans have already thought of it.
Sydney:
INVERSE NINJA!
Allthe humiliations
That diarrhea story was a bit too oddly specific.
Anti-diarrhea lasers is Today’s Comedy Phrase.
So, the demon-flame entity… Is that the College student that got pulled into the kidnap plot or is it the career criminal who thought trying to kidnapping Max (twice) was a good idea?
That is Lapha, the criminal. They keep her close to the team now.
Note how her flame is blue not orange?
And then Sylv discovers Math really is all that and a bag of chips
Another benefit of anti-diahrea lasers is increased pants sales and free acne removal. Though accidental ignition of flatulence is still a problem. Sudden blue flame fields make dodgeball more exciting.
I would think the overwhelming majority of schools would be single-species. Alien homeworlds and most colonies would be very monoculture except for trade delegations and diplomatic enclaves, concentrated around the world capital. There may a very thin scattering of space-weeaboos. The only place you’re likely to see true multiculturism would be in artificial enclaves like the space station Sydney visited, or if there’s a purpose built “Federation Capital”. So a vanishingly small number of aliens would have gone to an “Interstellar School”.
Nice of Dabbler to remind us that the ‘working ranks’ generally don’t give a squat about ‘political correctness’, they just want to have whatever fun they can get while they can, and some of the worst ‘offenders’ are women. I watched a lecturer sent to berate us for not following the ‘anti-whatever’ mantra of the day rush out of the room in tears once one of the girls told her exactly what her propaganda program was and why nobody would ever claim to follow it unless they were looking to become management.
The thing with coarse language and off-colour jokes (and even certain more extreme versions like straight up racist or dead baby jokes) is that if you know your audience and use it in the proper way and at the proper time, then nobody is offended and they just feel tickled by the juxtaposition between the knowledge that they should feel offended and the fact that they know there was no malice behind it, just someone who truly mastered pushing the envelope (which is what edgelords aspire to be). And knowing that everyone shares in the joke makes it not only fun but also a bonding experience. It’s tricky though, if you make a small misjudgement you could hit a sensitive spot and that could cost you a group member. And of course you run the risk of getting punched in the nose and told “not cool!” or something similar, but that isn’t a big issue if you can accept that you deserved it and you can admit and apologize for hurting someone.
Really bad translation of a quote by a very irreverencious French humourist : “You can laugh at anything and everything, but not with everyone”.
Dead baby jokes, racial slurs and political viciousness were VERY TAME for him, and he would be sent to jail for some of his jokes now, while he ran for the post of President of the Republic of France badly dressed as a mock-up drag queen in the very homophobic 1980’s.
Almost got elected too, had to stop his joke of a campaign when he realized the french people would actually elect him and he had absolutely NO IDEA of how to run a country.
The 1970’s and 1980’s were a nuclear wasteland of horrible, racist, morbid, insulting jokes against every strata of the population, and we liked that.
Just one for the road :
“In France, cops have to speak 3 languages : French to write the reports, Arab yo yell at the criminals, and German to launch the dogs into attack.”
Arrested where?
He might get kicked out of a few venues but, unless he breaks something like a libel law, he wouldn’t get jail time.
I would assume “arrested in France,” but I don’t know what their current laws are in this regard. I also don’t know who Lorcryst is referring to to see what sort of jokes the fellow made.
The one humorist who ran for president and dropped it is Michel Colucci aka Coluche. However, the quote about how you can joke about everything but not with everyone, is from Pierre Desproges.
Both humorists had in common a lot of talent and that they died in the 1980s; but otherwise they were very, very different.
Libel doesn’t get jail time, because it’s not a ‘crime per se. Libel is a tort (ie, a wrongdoing) – you get monetary damages instead in civil court instead of criminal court (and if possible a retraction, depending on the form of the libel).
lol, sure, a military lecturer cried and ran away because someone in attendance yelled mean things at them.
That totally happened.
Not to mention the fact that crude jokes are hardly the reason why we get lectures now. Look up past sexual assault & harassment rates and you’ll see the reason why.
I despised middle and high school for all those reasons. Body shamed, intellectually shamed, race shamed, classism, everything you can imagine, I ended up suffering through. And add that to my wonderful psychological issues that were getting started. I am VERY lucky to even be alive today, thanks to the two or three adults who actually gave a shit.
I hope to God that Maxima had had a proper round of someone showing her a good time… Seems unfair, and almost hypocritical otherwise.
Cora’s mouth looked oddly realistic when she laughed there. Like, creepily so.
Because of all the teeth, yeah.
Or something about the lower lip.
It’s the eyebrows – her mouth is smiling, but her eyes look angry, so it’s creepy. Bump the eyebrows a bit, and it gets quite a bit better, I think.
Can anyone show an updated ‘Make Maxima Say’ Bingo card?
Tai Kwan Leep Student: “…getting the first shot. Boot to the head!” *Kthoomp
Tai Kwan Leep Master: “You missed”
I really hope Math wins this round. Then when they use their teamwork they could beat him.
Sure, it doesn’t matter once it’s over, but that’s not really helping you for the years when you have to spend around seven hours a day surrounded by tweens. There are few worse fates.
Love the shocked looks when Slyv does his reverse bow.
(…and no, I’m not giving in to the typo that took over the canon. On page 702 his name was Slyvyrnus, not Sylvia. See for yourself.)
I think Math will demonstrate that gummi bones can be a liability.
I wonder if “Lady Tamer” was on the list of things they are trying to get Maxima to say?
Unfortunately no. It would have been a good inclusion though. I think Dabbler had a missed opportunity to get Maxima to say one of the remaining words on the “Make Maxima Say” Bingo.
The remaining words are:
Tingle
Fart
Manocracy
Knickers
Excelsior
Diaper
Turgid
Erection
Thrust
Moo
Quim
Rhubarb
Penetrate
Quiver
Shorn
Camel Toe
Oscillate
Orgasm
Unless some words have been said off-camera. But I don’t assume words are said unless we see them said or DaveB makes reference to them having beeen said in one of his comments/blurbs.
Sydney got her to say Cloaca already (when choosing her secret ‘help’ word). But she failed to get her to say Excelsior, Shorn, or Oscillate.

Is mat going to have to sit the last of the crew down and tell him accounting for speed means little to nothing against someone at math’s level
I read ‘Lady Tameri’ instead of ‘Lady Tamer!” and thought the author was alluding to the fact that Dabbler really is a succubus princess, something he alluded to a VERY long time ago in the disco conversation with Halo. I was looking around for some sign of the aliens calling her Lady Tameri, wondering what the relationship was….
And then, oh. Thhhhp.
If Slyv has a “recommendable” appendage does that mean we will see a tongue slap attack?
Unfortunately no. It would have been a good inclusion though. I think Dabbler had a missed opportunity to get Maxima to say one of the remaining words on the “Make Maxima Say” Bingo.
The remaining words are:
