Grrl Power #1054 – Operation dessert storm
If you plant the mini-bananas, would they grow mini-banana trees? Trick question! Bananas don’t have seeds! That’s weird to think about – all bananas are seedless. At least the modern commercially available banana is seedless. That and we’re one banana flu away from bananapocolypse. Apparently the O.G. banana looked more like okra and had dark seeds all up in them and looked really gross.
A bunch of you mentioned the name “Darude” in the comments, so I guess I’m not as original as I thought, hah hah. But really, what do you call a guy who can turn into a sandstorm? Easifat ramlia seems to be Arabic for sandstorm, at least according to google translate, but the guy probably has a less apto-supranymy name and goes by something more poetic, like Wrath of the Desert or something.
Most people don’t get to beta test their wishes, but Parfait has yet to actually successfully grant a wish. She’s only been able to use the ability since Tom “enslaved” her, and it’s been less than three days. Also, Tom, being reasonably opportunistic, probably isn’t going to let Parfait start handing out wishes for free.
I’ve decided that whatever tech the team has in their chokers >cough< I mean tactical throat mics also includes a way to hear that doesn’t include some sort of ear piece, with or without the coiled cord attachment that I always forget to draw. Just assume they have some sort of bone conduction earphone that’s concealed under hairlines or something. That or someone figured out how to make it work up through the bones in the neck despite all that spongy cartilage in the way.
The June vote incentive should be up with the Monday comic. Just need a little more time to do backgrounds and detail work.
The May Vote Incentive continues to be up! It’s Warsyl, from Tamer: Enhancer 2! I’d say “spoilers,” but the book has been available for 5 months now. Anyway, this pic doesn’t have a zillion outfit variations, partially because her armor took longer to draw than I thought it would, but mostly because she just has an armored form, and an unarmored form. The latter being available over at Patreon.
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.
Don’t wish for bigger boobs, sydney – your tiny tits are gorgeous and well loved!
Second from a lover of flat women.
Go A-Team!
More than a handful is a waste they say.
But I understand if she wants to go from small B to C
My girlfriend, likes them fairly small! :)
If nothing else, I just like seeing a variety of body types. With all the improbably pumped and busty supers running around, Sydney’s more modest endowments actually make for a nice contrast.
Agreed, smaller is better. Both simply aesthetically and because gravity works.
But if you absolutely have to get a size increase for whatever physiological problems that may be troubling you, then a “100 murders wish knife” or a genii-succubus wish is infinitely better than a surgical approach.
Once things calm down a touch, I would think that Parfait could consult with Dabbler to fine-tune her wish-granting skillz in this case. Dabbler would undoubtedly be happy to help out for several reasons.
But, note to DaveB, another fan vote here for diversity ion body types. I love Sydney the way she is. If she really wants some enhancement, I hope she goes for something closer to a subtle half-cup upgrade. I don’t mind all the super-sized supers in the comic, but a few more with slimmer, more athletic & cheetah-like proportions would be a nice change-up.
Physiological was meant to be psychological. I think I typoed it and didn’t look carefully enough at what the spell-check ‘fix’ was. I don’t think there are any physiological reasons to get a breast augmentation rather than a reduction, but lots of psychological issues seem to push women into getting an unnecessary surgical augmentation.
Well if she wants bigger boobs, all she has to do is spend more quality time with Frix. Though, not sure if she’d be enthused about the other “side effects” that would come from getting bigger boobs through that particular technique.
Happened to an aquaintance.
She was flat and felt ugly so after talking to her mother she got implants at 18.
Now guess what happened when she became a mother…
she became an F cup? (yes they exist. yes I’m being ridiculous)
They don’t stop at F
the biggest I’ve heard of became a rock band:
ZZ-top
no they have legs and they know how to use them.
the story I get that from did say she was going up from F cup. I just forgot where she ended up.
Yeah, my wife went from upper A to upper C while nursing our son. It was actually pretty impressive in a 5′ 80lb woman.
Didn’t stick with her afterwards, though.
I remember a girl back in 5th grade that developed pretty early. She was already a D-Cup and kept on growing to the point where her parents got her a breast reduction after she hit G-Cup. Then she had to get another one after she got into the 8th grade!
Maybe it’s balistic armor but she’s filling her shirt just fine in panel #6.
I mean, we don’t come here for Sydney’s boobs, but I’m always a fan of big tits. Just a personal preference though.
NFTs Nice Flat Tiddies
*Two ten-foot-tall Blue-Footed Boobies with red Dixie cups on their heads appear, grab Sydney in their beaks, and waddle off*
Sydney: WHATHAFU- I DIDN’T WI-oh wait, no, I see it now, D cups, that’s very funny NOW PUT ME DOWN!!!
They’ve already established she won’t get what she wishes for… so yes – do wish for a larger size.
Don’t know what she’d get – perhaps 3 extra feet of hair growth, or an absurdly oversized bra (without a resized chest)… but her look of frustration would be worth it.
She would be turned into a chest of drawers. Or a huge weightlifting surfer guy would pop into existence (i want to need a hufe bro instead of huge bra). Or turned into a 50 foot giant with the same size boobs proportionally but huge if you consider sydney would now be huge.
Oh or maybe she’d start having a couple of large seabirds follow her around (Boobies).
Wasn’t she voted Sexiest Woman by A-Cup Afficionado Quarterly?
It’s really not about what guys think, though. People – especially women – are often super insecure about their appearance just because society says people should look a certain way.
Never mind that the way in question is actually unhealthy and extremely difficult to achieve and maintain, and never mind that half of the women you see on TV and magazines flaunting that particular look have used modern surgical techniques to get there. (Seriously, Megan Fox has more plastic in her than a Barbie doll).
Sydney is beautiful, and any man of a certain type would be incredibly lucky to have her attention – for the 4.3 milliseconds she can focus on any one thing, but she’ll always be insecure about her size.
It would be funny if Parfait never got that wish right until Sydney was on her Death Bed!
“I’ve lived a good life… and with my last breath, I would like to give you, my beloved family, my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, these words of wisdom. Remember these words when you think of me. Always be-“ (from out of nowhere a giant banana split appears above great grandma aged Sydney and splats on her face)
Then her boobs triple in size.
RIP Sydney Scoville Jr.
and strangely enough the last thoughts of the banana split were…
NOT AGAIN!
I just think it’s funny that, since she doesn’t actually work with them, Dabbler’s sister has a much better chance of landing Dabbler’s teammates than Dabbler herself does.
Actually, this would be the perfect opportunity for Halo to go hypersonic on somebody’s ass. Zipping back and forth through him at Mach 25 would be like tossing him into a Cuisinart. And it looks like he’s over expendable terrain.
or given he is such a large target and nothing behind him but sky use the PPO to strafe shot him like she did that fleet of fighter “drones”.
They’re not exactly allowed to just kill people though, especially while on a diplomatic visit. Doing something like that with no practice would be very hard to control the results. She could easily end up rupturing organs in him or sending him flying (and falling) to great harm.
Well, reference the previous page, and Dave’s comments regarding Darude. This is a case of “previous history” and a known Really Really Bad Guy where Max’s first thoughts are “It’s a shame he isn’t already dead.” Killing this particular guy is likely a much easier decision than most cases.
Apart from Halo putting shields up (at maximum radius) and zooping him repeatedly at extreme speed, I’d also think that Vehemence and Tom would power up immensely from the energy output Darude is exuding. If Sydney can accelerate very fast, like zero to Mach 35 or whatever in the space of 500 meters, she should be able to generate shockwaves on order of magnitude with large meteor entries through the atmosphere. Without the ugly side effects of an actual 3 km wide meteor striking the planet.
The question that will be interesting is how much sand-in-atmosphere density can her shield-flying combo handle? We’ve seen her effectively ‘fly’ through water (at unknown speed, but clearly much faster than walking), but can she bore through sand at the beach? At what speed? I’m expecting Darude can put a much higher density of sand-to-atmosphere mix than anything that occurs naturally. Plowing through that at speed is going to generate an extremely intense heat trail, maybe (probably) even enough to melt sand.
You forget, Maxima used to be a soldier, she is not anymore. She and ArcSWAT do not have the green light to kill in situations like this like a soldier would. Also again, diplomatic trip complicates things. This is ‘easier’ but still not an easy decision. They would be skilling on foreign soil that they do not have jurisdiction in and if Sydney did it right away, it’d be without making an attempt to restrain them nonlethally. That kinda thing could start a war or get international sanctions put on ArcSWAT.
Pardon, But I thought ARC was a new military branch?
So they are all technically soldiers.
Archon is ‘military police’ under teh DoD. Unsure if they are actually a branch of the military or DoD. But semantics aside, the jurisdiction remark still applies.
Post not displaying…but what I said was they say they are DoD, and ‘military police’ but I couldn’t’ find something saying whether they’re a branch of the military or a branch of the DoD(because technically not all of the DoD is military) but semantics of whether or not they’re ‘soldiers’ aside, the jurisdiction remark still applies, as demonstrated in things like the Vehemence fight. They have to try and capture people alive if possible, before resorting to lethal force, and excessive force still seems to be bad. At least from what we’ve been presented.
You really think SmugD would call it an act of war? o_O
They’re all still soldiers in arc swat – the ‘soldiering wing’ of Archon – except dabbler who is a civilian consultant. Archon is a new branch of the military. Like Coast Guard and Space Force are branches of the military. Maxima just went from Air force or Marines or Army to Archon.
Technically Archon is part of the DoD according to 144 And is considered a “military Police” designed to handle supers. But the point still stands, they don’t have the typical jurisdiction of normal soldiers in dangerous situations, especially when it comes to kill orders in assignment. As discussed in previous battles, like Vehemence, they are supposed to make every effort to apprehend people alive, and only use lethal is necessary.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-127-a-cautionary-clause/ also helps explain them somewhat.
I still feel like they are military branches in the same way in which the Coast Guard or Space Force are military branches. Maxima said something to sydney about that just before she signed the contract and they have ranks and NCOs etc.
I’m sure she could ask for diplomatic immunity though it might cost her the embarrassment of wearing a dress to a restaurant.
Official docs like diplomatic immunity are only meaningful to those who care about them; they don’t provide much shielding from anyone who doesn’t. So maybe she’d make some enemies or lose some fans, but yeah Archon and Galytn would probably be fine with it.
Deus might not appreciate the damage that would cause to his city. But if Maxima can lure him away it’s a good plan.
Nice
Just gonna say like most of the other people posting that Darude’s biggest hit was “Sandstorm” even though the video had nothing to do with a sandstorm.

” a way to hear that doesn’t include some sort of ear piece” Magic. Literal magic. The cho-… the ‘throat mic’ includes a magic spell. Because why not?
Magic not required. You’re describing a “Bone Phone.” Or, “Bone Conduction Earphone” as the technical manuals called iit. Discovered in the 1970s and people attempted unsuccessfully to sell an around-the-neck version to consumers back then. They’re sold as higher-end headphones today, but audiophiles want them directly in contact with the skull.
The Navy still uses the technology in some diving suits, and there are medical uses in the form of some types of hearing aids.
When they first appeared, they were a sold as a device that people wore around their necks and, honestly, they sounded okay. But passing through joints got the left/right channels mixed together, and every joint the signal passes through reduces the “sound: quality a little. Audiophiles want them in contact with the skull.
Anyway, the chokers they’ve got are situated just fine for bone-phone communications. And that would be completely silent on the receiving end unless you happen to be inside the affected skull.
Actually, if I’m remembering right (and I hope I am because I am *NOT* trolling the archive right now), the chokers DO have an earpiece that plugs into them somewhere around the back of the neck. I’m sure they showed it when Max gave Syd hers back close to the comic’s beginning when she was inducted into ARCHON. Because most of the characters have long hair, and it’s probably a pain to draw the wires on the ones that don’t, it just isn’t shown all the time in-panel.
Darude
Max, you’re still a geek.
Truly. And obligatory.
Besides the bananas and tiny thunderstorm, her spoon is too big.
Can’t believe I’m the first one here to make the Rejected reference.
Mah spuuhn is too big! For the love of gawd, some one call a doctor!
YAAAAAAY
I must be being particularly dense today, because I am still not getting the reference.
Don Herdzfelt animations. Weird nonsense that was memes in the early 00s.
Wow, that is a blast from the past…
I am a banana.
Thanks, I remember seeing that before, but I had completely forgotten about it. Probably because I didn’t think it was particularly funny.
Can’t be anything wrong with the spoon. There is no spoon.
Sydney best be careful. If she wants a bigger bustline, wish for a body that can handle it as well, otherwise you look totally disproportionate. But knowing Sydney, she might just know that. In any event, I love Parfait. She is just so damn adorable! And as for the literal big bad …is it pronounced Dah-rood or dah roo day?
When my wife and I were married she weighed 99 lbs with a generous C cup she’s only an inch or two taller than Sydney. Sadly like most women if the top was heavy the backside was light lol! The silly thing is large busted women wish it was smaller which I understand it was hell for my wife to find snug fitting tops or bra’s that fit and she loved tube tops but a sudden sneeze in public always ended badly.
After our first was born she filled out even more which resulted me decking a drunk for picking on her and calling her “Dolly” so yeah…
Plant geek moment….There already is a Banana flu, it’s a fungus and it’s ko’ing the cultivated species of banana we normally see at the supermarket. This is unlike the Citrus virus which doesn’t kill the plant itself. It has to do with the fact most modern bananas we grow are actually genetically identical clones. Plantain bananas have more genetic diversity are fine though.
Gonna suggest trying an international food supermarket. The Cavendish banana is seedless (and the plant is propagated by cloning, which is a lovely thing to throw at the crunchier contingent – and so are apples, and a number of other fruits, for that matter), but there are a number of other bananas that are very definitely not.
Apples are propagated by cloning because they don’t breed true, though. Even incest-seeds from an apple that was pollinated with its own flowers will grow a different kind of apple than that tree has. So that’s actually a case of TOO MUCH genetic diversity.
Bananas are cloned because they have… I want to say 3 sets of chromosomes, or chromosone triplets instead of pairs or something? Anyways, 3 instead of 2 _something genetic_ which means that only, like, 1 in a huge number of bananas _will_ grow seeds.
I have an apple tree that I have grown from a seed. It’s only about three years old so fruit is a ways off but I’m interested to see what sort of apples it produces. Hopefully it will be something nice and crisp.
We grew an apple tree from seed about 30 years ago (slightly less as it was after we moved), you need to make sure you keep fertilising the tree so it produces nice big apples
And fairly sure the fruit it produces is the same as the fruit the seeds came from, we just can’t remember the name…
It will almost certainly be gross, tiny and extremely tart, but if you can’t eat it maybe you can make alcohol out of it.
Banana is a grass, not a tree.
Bananas aren’t even in the Grass family, they’re the worlds only truly herbaceous tree. If anything they are more closely related to the Zingiberales which is the ginger grouping. Grasses are in the Poaceae family under the grammanid clade under Poales.
bananas are the closest thing to not being a fruit that a fruit can be
(bananas are herbs)
Yes but then the term fruit itself is pretty loose in definition. I’d agree that given their relation to ginger and tumeric bananas are certainly a interesting sort of herb. I’m growing Mekong Giant bananas out here in the ground in North Carolina and boy does it look like a giant ginger root plant.
Bananas are berries. Banana _leaves_ are herbs.
Goooolden baaannaaannaaa….
But the entire plant as a whole? It’s a Herb or in actual use a vegetable. We don’t split hairs like this for peppers so why do so for a Banana.
Because banana splits are a thing, and pepper splits aren’t.
Oh you sweet summer child….they are in fact a thing in Pepperhead circles.
After raspberries and pineapple it’s my third favourite berry.
… Raspberries aren’t, technically, a berry
Strawberry isn’t a berry. Raspberry and blackberry have sections and the seeds are inside them. Like pineapple and bananas.
Great marketing then :)
Thank you, knew one of the so-called ‘berries’ wasn’t but banana’s were
It’s all down to that dumbass Linnaeus creating a botanical definition of berries which excluded most common berries and included a lot of stuff not commonly known as berries.
Then Gaertner came along and said “I see what you did there, I’ll go you one better”, extending the definition to include things like pumpkins and watermelons.
Kid: Mom, I want berries for dinner
Mom: We have berries at home
At Home: Pumpkin: I’m gonna mess that kid right up
Aubergine: Can I get some of that action?
Because when a banana splits it is delicious
Unless it turns into a homicidal animatron
or a group of nightmare inducing costumes. no I will not provide a link.
I’m old, I understand that reference. Yay … I think. Is that a good thing?
Google ‘Banana Peppers’
:)
Corn is in the grass family :).
And Korn is in the rock family :P
Therefore… Rocks are grass.
someone made an electric guitar out of concrete.
that rocks.
And Khourne is the Blood God. Skulls for his Skull Throne!
Visine is BAD
I think Sydney’s space glasses probably have significant optical organ protection technology in place. At least, I should hope eyewear that advanced does. Even a basic electrostatic field that greatly reduces particles & dust around the eyes seems the minimum tech that’s probably built in to them. I suspect we may see a demonstration of that feature rather soon.
Visine isn’t all that horrible for occasional use, but people being people, there are people who use half a bottle a day. And, that is stupid bad chemical saturation of the eyes. There’s more than one flavor of Visine, also. The one that ‘gets the red out’ is the one that should be avoided. When your eyes are bloodshot, it’s because they need more blood & nutrients & oxygen. ‘Getting the red out’ is the opposite of healthy eye care; you are depriving them of what they need exactly when there is a critical need. Other flavors of eye drops that just moisturize can be very good to use, especially if abrasive materials like sand or other chemicals need to be flushed out.
Her “space glasses” are already doing far too much for the form factor. Cramming in even more utility would just further violate the suspension of disbelief.
Besides, Sydney has a shield orb that can keep out the sand and grit. And she can even carry Parfait around inside of it so her hair is free to do whatever it is that her hair is doing, and she won’t need to fret about it playing havoc with her hair.
Cyberpunk 2077 tells me you name a sandstorm super “Haboob”.
I am a terrible person and would also have named this dude Haboob. It’s even an Arabic word.
Bananas actually has seed, its pretty much the bottom tip
no.
DaveB is correct, the cultivated Bannana is seedless, the product of human tampering, they have to use cuttings from the tree to make more trees.
No, the cultivated banana is sterile but not seedless. The seeds are tiny, black, non-functional specks but they are there.
I had a feeling I should have mentioned the discolored spots that are the remnants of cell tissue that would have formed seeds but didn’t. Biologically speaking those are not seeds, just tissue associated with seed production. For perspective it’s sort of like saying a man is sterile but insisting he still has sperm because he can still ejaculate seminal fluid. Technically that is not sperm, but I can see the misunderstanding
It’s in the Center where the three sections connect. A line of them grow there. It has been a while since I found seeds in a banana but that’s where they are. At least in commercially grown bananas.
At least they didn’t go with something boring like “Sirocco”.
How the frank is ‘Darude’ better?
Named after one-hit nobody who is only remembered (very reluctantly) because of a shitty meme
With the static electricity he’s bound to bring, Jiggawatt might have some fun.
Shame she wasn’t invited…
maybe she can be here in a flash?
I see watt you mean, she could bolt right over to assist with the resistance.
Heh, you’re puns are electrifying. But yessssss, send in Jigs.
perhaps daveB can be induced to have Jig illuminate this story arc.
They are the I.B.T.C. and those that know them love them because their is such a thing as too much. For anyone clueless it is the “Itty Bitty Titty Comity!” Men are not usually welcome as members but are often part of the ‘support’ group.
Dear, lovely Sydney: Before you try to change your body-type, just consider a few things. Backaches are A Thing. Sports. (Archery is a good one. Anything that has you running or jumping or falling is another. My wife used to have to wear two sports bras — called it “double-bagging.” She probably still does — I don’t know first-hand because she’s not my wife any more.) Male gaze. Sure, you’ll get more attention — including and especially from the creeps and the guys who think “no” means “yes”. Plenty of guys appreciate a small, slim, athletic build — which is what I’m sure you have now that you’re exercising regularly. You’ve already found two, and both are pretty awesome.
“Silverwear…” My brain was trying to fold into itself trying to picture what kind of clothing that is, what it would look like and what it was appropriate dress for? Then it caught up with the context and realized you meant “silverware.” (Apologies for being a spelling nazi.) Insert obligatory cry of “Spoon!” here.
Elemental transformers that can gather, store or produce their element are a bitch and a half in any sort of powered setting. If jiggawatt could always be lightning, for instance, that means always moving at the speed of lightning and being basically untouchable. Whenever I get the chance to in a super hero game, my favorite option is a water-elemental style character, specifically one that can handle and even willingly become ice or steam as needed. If the character can freeze themselves or turn into steam, fire attacks, lightning attacks and ice attacks don’t really do anything. Not to mention you can not only be a heavy powerhouse (Water is deceptively heavy) and also the ultimate stealth killer (water is everywhere and drowning people works pretty well on even the strongest of supes).
Sand and earth are pretty close seconds in terms of versatility and power. Air can do a lot, but needs a loooot of power to explain the force they can hit with in a localized area enough to matter to someone like maxima.
In actuality the worst part I imagine about this guy is that he’s not really a threat to Maxima. It’s more like he’s a threat to everything for a mile around him and Maxima really can’t do anything about him.
Bleh I tried to post a few days ago but I guess it ate my post due to a youtube link.
The amount of force you can output with air may not be as important as you think. (link to Zaheer assassinating the Earth Queen)
After some google searching, apparently this Darude person had some song or something called “Sandstorm?” I… guess that makes it a vaguely appropriate moniker?
quite sure you also included other capabilities in the chockers, like the hologram projector you said they had in the crossover
I was actually thinking “Marid” for the name. A powerful genie/jinn in Arabic mythology, more recent works often use the concept to mean reasonably to very powerful sand spirit.
(Gems of War, on the other hand, makes the being human with some very unpleasant attack effects. But he comes from a desert kingdom!)
I’m pretty sure by now the chokers have a small speaker or that bone conduction thing for battle, and a general channel mode, so they can communicate in the heat of battle without having to press the thing all the time. Probably still need to press the thing for a private channel, like when Math spoke to Max during the brawl at the restaurant.
If you wanted to avoid using Darude, you could have called the villain Simoon, or Samiel. Both of which are terms for a hot destructive desert wind
> That and we’re one banana flu away from bananapocolypse.
There have already been several bananapocolypses. Each time the quality of the common banana in the shop drops as we are reduced to eating backup a banana clone strain.
That’s why I have my own Musa Blue Java in the back yard…. Great tasting bananas, but too small for a classic banana split (2 inch) and the peel is too thin to travel well.
FARMED bananas don’t have seeds. natural wild ones do
The ones we farm are from a specific species that we bred the seeds out of. The wild ones are a sort of cousins that aren’t quite bananas as we know them.
If Max is indeed the target,she’ll need to lead it out of the city and who knows where….!?!
So I recently found my old massive collection of Star Wars EU notes (yes I’m saying EU not Legends, deal with it, besides that’s what it was back then) that I had made for running West End Games D6 Star Wars RPG campaigns (if you recognize the name West End Games, high five for knowing about the OG Star Wars pen and paper game).
ANYWAY… in my notes I found/remembered something… There was at one point something known as the “Fel Empire.” It was established out of the remnants of the Empire, a little more than a century after the Battle of Yavin, and thus a number of decades after the Vong were defeated.
The reason I bring this up is because of GrrlPower #764
Mind you, there’s literally no resemblance as it’s just an attempt at reestablishing Palpatine/Sidious’s empire, and I’m not accusing Dave of anything as it’s kind of hard to come up with an original 3 letter name… I just thought I’d mention it for discussion.
Fun, it’s even an empire.
Dave may have been inspired by a more recent Fel reference. Fel magic is a thing in World of Warcraft.
Where WoW got it from, I do not know, but I would not be surprised if Bobbie touched the EU.
Fel is an old word in many languages, but most modern references are probably to the latin meaning of “bile, poison, venom”, or the old french “evil”.
Turn sand storm into a banana split storm…
that would be cold and mushy. and if they use strawberry sauce it would be disconcerting.
This is the Grrl Power universe we’re talking about. The chokers could use magic to get the sound to their ears.
Couple things.
1 Parfait goes in bubble with Sydney and is asked to practice booby wish magic on Darude. Joke is when he gets breasts, everyone starts to call him Haboobie instead.
2 Incentive – Dabbler and Parfait’s Experiment corner.
We get various panels of Halo with boob growth mostly two, once with three. Near last panel all boobs barely see Sydney (aybe her wild hair.
Dabbler sneaks in Sailor moon change in one panel and Kitty Girl in another, we see dabbler hogtied with Hentai orb, and parfait fixing things…complicated because of spell and wish layers… last panel is reveal with Woof. Partially censored with black bar to hide his physical reaction. Under the panel we see both Dabbler and Sydney with a black eye. Both say it was worth it. (Obviously different reasons and cause for black eye from panels above.)
3 another incentive Anime night at Sydney’s with A team and Parfait… theme is tentacles on DVD cases. Sydney is slyly reaching for Hentai orb. Empty wine coolers,beer cans etc laying about…
Or like a dog with 6. I wonder what’s normal for a Woof.
Quickie solution Halo opens aetherway into vacuum.
Big sucking sounds and villain is gone with sand or exposed long enough to meet Max up close and personal.
Quick pov flip to everyone’s reactions. Which one smiles though.
Maybe the villain is the sand.
Dave don’t worry about that coiled cord attachment anymore! we live in a bluetooth world! Hand wave any criticism of your art as technology!
Took me way too long for that Darude – Sandstorm reference… d’oh
The fact it took you time proves you have taste (unless you actually know the noise)
Okay, Sydney, time to grab the force field orb and encompass yourself and your new blue friend. You might also want to grab the oxygen generator as well.
The oxygen generator? You mean Sydney’s Green Ball?
As a geek, i always wonder what i would do right off the top of my head with what i know of the MC’s super powers…. i had 2 immediate thoughts.
1) Force Field orb, rush into the center, then use PPO to turn sand into glass.
2) Force Field orb, rush into highest density, then use Lighthook at the longest length to counter spin, OR Air conversion orb. Since the air is his “body” as far as we know atm, I think throwing off the “body” balance would mess him up a great deal.
Rush to middle in orb shield. Play Japan bubblegum pop. Loudly.
She’s savvy enough to have a Playlist of earworms and know enough to warn teammates.
Nooo, not the J-pop, thats gotta be outlawed by the Geneva Convention or something.
Sydney. You’re enough of a nerd, geek, and otaku to know. Flat is justice. You don’t need plot when you’re the main character.
at some point Dazzler really has to set Sydney up with a hard-light projector? So she can live for a weekend with those bigger boobs. And of course Dazzler would have to tweak a gravity projector so Sydney can get the full experience of having ten plus pounds throwing of her center of gravity.
Can you imagine what the push-up bra industry would pay for a bra that allowed non-physical cosmetic tweaking of bust size. Going to the gym, stick with your a/b cup. Going out to a strip club with the girls. Try out life with D/F cups.
Whatever this guy’s name is, I hope he’s more of a challenge than Tom was. Since Vehemence, the only one who’s really challenged Max is Deus, and he does it by aggrevating her. I would love to see a fight that’s not a walk-over for Sydney, Max and Dabbler.
What holds Darude together? He looks like a big sandstorm.
And you can tear apart a big sandstorm by shutting down the wind. Or by drowning it. Turn him to mud, watch him dissolve & wash away.
How about locally removing his gravity? That’ll play heck with his sand particles!
Excessive heat probably isn’t his best environment, either. Heat ‘im up, melt ‘im down, turn him to glass liquid, then keep heating until the glass evaporates. Or dump cold water on it & watch it shatter.
How about loading him down with EVEN MORE SAND! His winds won’t be able to handle it all, he’ll be buried under it all. THEN dump the water on him to muddify him & dissolve him.
If you can’t beat him with Earth, Wind, and Fire, maybe find some groovy tunes he’ll like & distract him while you bulldoze him off a cliff into the ocean.
Metaphysical force, and bow effective those ideas would work depends on what specifically his power is, some might just be sharpening his blade for him.
DARUDE!? I have never been so happy and angry at a naming convention…
that would be a pretty weird convention.
“What’s you OC name?”
‘Oh, I haven’t thought of one, yet’
“Ah, you better move over to that longer line over there, then, NEXT!”
