TYPO, panel 3 -- fixed.

Good start, 'Sali! (However, I think JW's theory of Devyn being key to resolving with Jessie is still on the horizon.)

Perhaps this is a conversation that you might want to have a little privacy for Atsali. Regardless of your intentions with Nadette, she might be a little embarrassed having her feelings for you announced so publically...

Atsali is well on the way to patching her relationship with Nadette.

ok, bear babe is gonna be floating away now.

Haven't seen a title that long since I don't know when. I assumed that the thread starter was making stuff up until I went back and checked.

I just saw the title and bounced back. I didn't pause to see who subby was.

A little boob squish goes a long way.

Aaahh... a quiet discussion with Epizeuxis. Not sure it's helpful, though.

Oh.. Yeah.. Thát's really gonna help, pressing your ehrm.. "assets" onto her..

I confess that I'm having some difficulty with this storyline. While I do find the whole thing entertaining, I'm finding it difficult to believe that anybody can be that clueless.

Vampires, mermaids, sirens, okay, all of those survive suspension of disbelief, but is there even such a thing as a person who can't read emotions at all? How do you survive even casual interaction without any sort of ability to read those around you?

well, if you have tried so hard for many years, would you not just give up trying, unless someone points out what you are ignoring just to avoid too much brain-strain???
That and the 'defence mechanism' caused by living in the orphanage...

Try reading through the past few threads. There are multiple conditions that cause this sort of problem some real life humans have to deal with daily.

I'd have to say.... everyone.

So my childhood was basically getting the crap beat out of me once a week for 9 years or so. So after I had my face reattached, I basically have the range of facial expressions ranging from: NONE to Scowl to Constipated Forced Smirk. So I basically leave it on NONE.

You have no idea how much it freaks people out.

In fact, even if I point it out, it don't matter with most people. Add in the nerve damage so my body language is a little off and I become a Human Rorschach Test for how people are feeling. I've been attacked by co-workers because "They could see how angry I was by the look of rage on my face". Boy were they surprised when I asked "Which side was filled with rage? Because this half is mostly paralyzed."

90% of the people you meet totally SUCK at reading body language and facial expressions. Hell, when I play poker, I can kick ass against professionals, but suck against amateurs. People like to THINK they are good at reading people, but they suck. Sp the idea there's someone out there who is the far end of the bell curve? Sure. Totally acceptable.

Add the PTSD that she's probably still feeling about Demon Girl to the mix, too.

I'm imagining 'Sali just saying all that last speech bubble in one breath.

Good. Once she clears the air with Nadette, time for her to move on to Jessie. And then to Kath, if she hasn't already been informed.

You know her lungs are still in that unsquishy place behind the squishy fun parts, right?
