Monica is not amused.

"DAAAAY-UM!" is what I think most of the guys and a few of the girls here say to themselves every time one of the character's clothes gets blown off.

Don't you hate it when everyone is so cheerful and sunny when you just came back from the dead, and haven't even found the time to get dressed?

Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

How nonthreatening is it when a naked, big-boobed pixie is giving a death stare?
Rock-slide. Everyone dies!
Re: Bounces Back 2012-10-17
i really hope she DOES show them how dangerous she can be, if only to make it perfectly clear they crossed a line. farting in thier general direction is one thing. ripping your friend's heart out to prove a point is quite another, and potentially a friendship breaker.

When the pixie in question is Monica and she can poit you into the sun... or Low Earth Orbit... or just high enough that you'll die from "breathing" vacuum before you even hit the stratosphere on the way back...DJ. wrote:How nonthreatening is it when a naked, big-boobed pixie is giving a death stare?
Very Threatening!

Heheh.. That last frame perfectly conveys : "Yes, You made your point. Doesn't mean I am suddenly liking it..."

Re: Bounces Back 2012-10-17
About the sniper rifle comment.
Bud only tested a standard mortal wound on Monica. The blade's allegedly somewhere in her skull. Assuming the blade still exists, couldn't a fatal head injury still be, well, fatal to Monica? Or did the key only trigger her regeneration powers, not supply them?
I just get the feeling if she were "headshot"-ed by someone (given Monica's friends' tendency to try and kill her), the chance exists the blade may become separated from the rest of Monica and this put a damper on her revival.

Íf, and that's a big "if" the blade is the thing enabling Monica's Phoenix-power. I am not at all convinced that is the case. Remember Shelly and Bud were talking about "Phoenix-blood" in M (and apparently some Titan-genes to boot)
I guess we'll get some more exposition of M's powers, and where they stem from, in the coming days.
For now, we'll prolly'see Monica cussing and chastizing Bud and Shelly for being so flippant about all of it. Monica is bóund to be miffed, not so much by Bud and Shelly, but by the sheer fact that being a "magic-infused-pixie-with-a-rack" has negated áll her excuses and explanations of "magic" by sheer science.
Although, álways good to remember A.C.Clarke's observation: "Any technology advanced enough, is indistinguishable from Magic". Which redeems Monica's predisposition towards Magic/Science to a certain degree.

Why is she mostly pissed?
Bad nights sleep, rude awakening, major heartburn and two friends who think this is gangsta fun style....AND NO COFFEE.

Actually, it's not in her skull. At least not the way we'd think of it.sonicthunder wrote:About the sniper rifle comment.

Remember, either in the strip itself or by Word of God, we were told that it wouldn't trigger metal detectors.
Actually, i'm pretty sure that it didn't actually pierce Monica's head, that it shifted to another dimension or something.
======================
However, i refer me to my own post that i just made in the thread about yesterday's page:
It's magic.
If we knew how it works, it wouldn't be magic.
Do not try to analyse it.
By definition, you CANNOT.
BECAUSE IT'S FRIGGIN' MAGIC!

That's the "Stop enjoying yourselves so much, just because you got to teach me for once!" look. Although, Shellsy-wellsy is teasing in a manner consistant with being Comanche. And it's how you tease Family. You should hear how we get our enemies riled up, very Spider-Man in execution.

Actually Magic is quite easy. All you need is a recessive gene that allows the organism with it to be able to manipulate reality by consciously collapsing the wave probabilities down to specific wave functions away from what would be considered the norm...
For instance, you take a annoying pair of humans who have just irked you more than a bit. As they stand there, there is a single wave function that represents their being there. Now there is a wave function you can add to it that would change their location to, say, 20ft above a local lake (for example). Normally a jump of this distance is disallowed due to quantum interference but you can over rule that as you have the 'magic' gene. You calculate the sum-over-histories and leave them to 'poit' their own soggy asses home.

Spider-man is a genius at that sort of thing.
Whoever coined the phrase "more fun than a barrel of monkeys" obviously never spent an afternoon cramming the little buggers into one.
