Stand still, Alycia, it’ll all be over in a minute.

Earlier…

I think this really explains a lot.

Alycia and Summer as Nick and Nora has a disturbing amount of congruity.

They can’t keep up with each other on the drinking, though - Summer will just stay sober. And if you thought drunk Jason was hilarious (and he was), drunk Alycia would be legendary.

That said… Aria is already working on a drug delivery system for Newman brains, and one of the Beacon drives is “get drunk or high with a teammate”. So you never know.

I’ve pondered the issue of Alycia drinking; her life is such that I could see her as occasionally deeply self-medicating, or else be so unwilling to lose control / let down her guard that she’d never touch the stuff. As someone who has had drugs used on her, and has probably seen a lot self-destructive substance abuse, my guess is she would probably tend toward being a teetotaler (probably with a degree of annoying self-righteousness).

Then it sounds like, should it ever happen, it would represent a serious gesture of trust. I’m also reminded that people have reported using alcohol as a tool to disable their own inhibitions, or as license to act more freely. So I guess we’ll find out. In the meantime, here’s one version.

Yeah, I’m not sure Alycia thinks that lowering her inhibitions would be a good thing. :slight_smile:

But you’re right – it would be a gesture of trust, in the right circumstances.

We’ve talked since a looong time back about letting Harry go out incognito, but Summer might be able to help out the most.

As it turns out, the disguise is pretty damn good.

I’m not doing many Adam-specific comics recently to uphold the current mystery, but the rest of the family seems okay?

The more I reread this comic, the more I think this comic perfectly encapsulates what “Papillon Witch Radiance” is about, as a concept. Fairy-tale overtones, techno-magic, silly incantation, and helping friends out.

I for one am going to miss that with Summer’s turn towards more traditional flying brick.

That is always okay and appreciated. Also, mystery be damned. These are already not in continuity and I love the creativity you bring to them so if something funny or cool or even horrible crops up, feel free to act on it.

Summer’s going flying-brick for a couple reasons. First, to make Alycia feel comfortable. Second, as a metaphysical science experiment, to see if the coincidental butterfly motif with Daph is actually coincidental (as a player, I know it is, but I thought it made for a neat plot point, stemming from the conversation A&S had about religion).

She’d love to go back to the fairy-princess look, as long as Alycia explicitly expressed approval (which could be on the horizon?), but she also does want to encounter Daph as Radiance and see what happens. I’d love for Doyce to pick this up and do something neat with it, if he’s so inclined, but if that doesn’t happen, we can figure out something else.

I don’t know what you’re saying about the Jordan comics, though. Steggy is totally canonical. Nobody said, but he’s the viewpoint character for our game.

Oh of course. How could I not see that before?

As far as I understand it, here’s the ranking of what’s canonical for the game, from most (top) to least (bottom).

  1. Rulings on events from the GM
  2. Narration during actual sessions
  3. Statements made by players about their own current or former PCs
  4. Posts on the forum with the Cutscene or Background tags
  5. Speculative posts by players about what might or might not happen with their characters
  6. Posts made by players about other players’ PCs, or about NPCs
  7. YouTube comments or other third-party remarks about the game
  8. Actual falsehoods
  9. The comics

Yeah, I’m kinda pissed at Alycia, to be honest.

Finally, something we all agree on. :stuck_out_tongue:
