Grrl Power #739 – Swear jar II – A filthy boogaloo
This is the most rich person thing Sydney’s ever done. She’s been… well, not rich exactly, but well on her way every since she got her first paycheck, but she has yet to actually spend any money in a flagrantly irresponsible manner. My question is, is she just going to leave an open jar in the middle of the lounge with ten grand in it?
I know I didn’t actually show Sydney launch into some kind of filth blitzkrieg for all the times she recounts here. It’s not like I’m never going to show her going on a Yosemite Sam-esque rant ever again, but I’m also not going to show each and every one, either.
I think Max’s top keeps getting smaller and smaller on each page I draw it on. It was already a bit of an odd top for her to wear around the base, but at this point it’s downright out of character.
I may have to change panel 2, because honestly I don’t know how military do. I wasn’t really sure what to google either, like “if someone needs some petty cash to buy some stuff for a military base, who do they see?” I mean, I’m sure a big military base has some sort of financial chain of command. Like an accountant and a list of approved vendors, but what if you’re out in the desert somewhere in another country, and the squad decides it needs to run down to the Baghdad Home Depot and buy a bunch of tarps? Like, they’re not close enough to the base to go get them, but they definitely need tarps. Does the squad commander have a platinum Visa on him, or a stack of Benjis? Or do they just take them and tell the manager to call the base for reimbursement? Probably that one, come to think of it.
Anyway, the team is domestic, so they’d probably operate a lot more like a domestic military base. My point is, somebody at Archon manages the phat stax, because sometimes you just need cash in hand. If someone has a better suggestion than “Bursar” I will change it.
Edit: Hah hah! Whoops! I forgot to add in the orbs on this page. I will do that after I get some breakfast.
Edit 2: Okay, Sydney is enorbened.

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.
I love how Max’s eyes keep getting wider and wider as Sydney talks about what happened.
Well we all saw this coming once Dabbler said Halo wasn’t dumb enough to fight the aliens.
that’d probably be, at least in part, shock at realising how powerful syd could be.
wonder what max will say once she learns Sydney is now able to exceed light-speed
Sydney should definitely go for a repeat of their duo flight/race. She has added to her flight orb since then and can probably beat Max in a speed race now. FLT notwithstanding since that would be rather unfair, I’m just talking about the speed boost to regular old flight.
The “Wait, what?” is the best shot.
I’ve been looking forward to finding out how Sydney was gonna tell Max she figured out how to beat those things. This is way better than anything I came up with
Sydney’s teleportation is weird.
She sends a holographic projection of herself somewhere then swaps places with it.
(Has she dispensed with sending the projection and just sends a point of reference?)
I’m sure there’s a mathematical term for exchanging the value of A with B and B with A simultaneously.
IIRC Syd mentioned she could ‘feel’ but not ‘see’ her surrounding with just the probe. however; once she does the projection she can see. it’s a good thing too, lets you scope out where you will land before you commit to it.
In the Army it was the Paymaster.
Almost sounds like something out of Ghostbusters
Don’t forget his partner, the Changekeeper.
“I AM THE PAYMASTER…ALL MUST WORSHIP ME OR PERISH…”
“Egon, did…you have a ghost handle accountants?”
“…Janine said she needed help.”
“…Okay…so…can i get a company card to buy more tranquilizers?”
“Peter…why do you keep tranquilizers in your car?”
“In case my girlfriend gets possessed by Zuul.”
“…Fair.”
I love the line “I miss how weird it wasn’t around here”. I can hear the utter weariness in her voice as she realizes her break from Sydney is over forever.
Having been in the navy as a Storekeeper, I’d be surprised if there isn’t anything you can’t get through the supply chain. My boss once ordered a box of signal flags.
Lol Max just realized Sydney took a level In BadAss while away XD
I love the fact, that the Swear Jar has the number “II” put on it too!
We have a swear jar at home, and, you know what a swear jar is. It’s a jar in the middle of the kitchen and every time you say a bad word you have to put in a buck. And, it helps. You know, cause we have a mortgage and everything. I don’t know how that ties in here. Oh, here’s what happened. We had the swear jar, the idea was, over time, what you do is, at the end of the month you go and check out the money in the swear jar, maybe you got like forty bucks or something, and then you go buy a tree, you plant the three, and you, you get the picture. We took all those bad words and we made something good out of it. I got in the habit of getting up in the morning and putting in a ten. Just taking out little insurance.
Sydney has learned from Tom Waits, I think.
I thought that WAS the debriefing.
