Out of the frying pan… but forgetting the damn scissors in there and it’s too late to go back and get them!

Name on scissors? Weird
Nope… got name on allmost all of my tools and that incl. scissors :O)
Have lost to many to those who borrow and then “forget” to give them back :O)
So random question
But how long does a noxian lifespan goes?
About the same as a human, generally speaking.
Shadow is just not taking any of this well. I bet Tim’s gonna fucking flip when he finds out what she tried to do.
So what going happen in the story now. Will Macy find out about Shadow and Tim.
Well, she’ll probably start with Tim and work outwards from there.
Rip Tim oof
Okay first of all why is his name on a pair of scizzors?
Haha, this is like “Why is she stealing his socks?” all over again. Well, it’s for the simple reason that he wrote his name on them, because they are his. XD
Not really the answer to that was weird pheromones that apparently no one but Shadow reacts to. The answer to this is pretty mundane.
Isn’t it obvious? In case he loses them and someone who might know him can give them back to him.
Off-topic question, but Gloom and… Sun something, forget the name. They’re both female, right?
If they aren’t then they’re wearing damn good costumes! ( Sunshine)
Of course they are.
Well Gloom is obvious, but Sunshine I couldn’t quite tell– could’ve gone either way. I guess she’s just pretty tomboyish?
Back when they were all introduced was when Shadow was about 12 or 13.
Possibly Sunshine was pre-teen then also.
Hah, trust me, SunSET is a lady, and yes, she’s very tomboyish.
Sunset, yeah, my bad.
a bit off-topic but it would be neat to see what happens if anything and how others react to a noxian that doesn’t like the scaring thing and would rather just flat out help humans. not sure if there is already someone like that but as far as I have seen there isn’t like so much fall in love with a human but more of trying to use their powers to help them even if they may never know that they did help
Nice job shadow, now she has a new excuse to go BACK and see tim again.
Exactly. To make things worse, this might make Marcy even MORE interested in Tim then before. Well that’s what Shadow gets if that happens. XD
Or it’ll make her think he was in her room… with scissors.
Well sure? We don’t really know how Marcy’s gonna react to this.
She had a calculating, evil expression in Brandon’s last panel. Bad news for somebody (named Timothy Newton).
I mean it could be bad news for him in multiple ways. She might think he’s a perverted scumbag freak for invading her room. Or think he’s more interested in her then she thought, find herself turned on by that level of assumed attraction, and keep flirting with him. Either way, Tim’s not gonna like it.
I feel like thats the obvious way to take this, she gets angry or suspicious. I think she seems way to into tim to take this in the direction of anger, but then again thats really up to the storyteller.
We’ll see what happens. We don’t really know too much about Marcy to just know how she’ll react. We just know she’s really into Tim. Knowing that, I don’t think she’ll be angry. At least not too angry. Plus, I think it would be funnier if Marcy became more into Tim as a result of this since that would serve as karma for what Shadow tried to do to her.
Totally agree. cant wait to see the next page 🙂
Tim, if (when) Marcy provokes a public confrontation (at school) you can turn this around by admitting that the scissors are yours
“Of course, they’ve got my NAME on them. Look!”
Now how did you get them?
They went missing from my locker yesterday. Why did you start going through my locker?
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU TAKEN?”
Of course, this would require more presence of mind than I think Timmy has yet shown.
I love this comic
Thanks!
i am disappointed that there is not enough rule34 of Marcy :p
Okay additional question as I reread this for the third time… what’s the dynamic of Lord Pax and Lord Mortis? Pax appears to be of the same status as Lady Moonlight (patriarchal/matriarchal) but Lady Moonlight doesn’t appear to have a second-in-command like Mortis is to Pax. Or was that Lady Blackheart?
Mortis is an old man, and has chosen his successor, whereas Lady Moonlight is still fairly young, and has no need to chose quite yet.
Wait, you mean Pax, right? Mortis seems fairly young (or at least in comparison; like 30s-40s maybe?)
Also, why is Mortis so protective of Shadow? Why is he so awkward around her? He seems like he’s… I dunno, 20s? Does he have creepy romantic interest in her (Terminus said she was 12 in strip 105, but is she really there? Trying to follow the timeline, not sure if that’s when she’s older or what)
He’s always awkward around her no matter the timeline. We’ll all find out why together!
Well, at least what’s their age difference?
