    Well, I don’t know E-Merl, you going paragon or renegade? This is just one of the many tough question you should be asking yourself when making romance plans. Just hurry up before the Reapers get here.

      As I said to Wayne yesterday, doin a Purist playthrough of a Bioware game just doesn’t feel natural. Goin through the whole game picking JUST the blue options or JUST the red options just ends up makin your dude (or dudette) a walking stereotype, rather than a real character.

    Is it me, or did Scorpio just publicly mark his territory just now? Because it wasn’t clear whom would do the jaw-breaking, now was it?

      Scipio’s too chill to outright threaten someone like that over a conversation like this. It’d break character.

      The more in control of your territory you are the less you need to mark it.

      If it’s unclear to you who will be doing the jawbreaking, then you just don’t know Frigg as well as these three.

          Rachel wanted to fist Frigg, but Frigg wanted nun of that hairy business. Even as Frigg whispered sweet nothings into Rachel’s ear, Rachel headed right in without a second look.

          Scipio continued to work his blade as Byron and E-merl watched on.

          …halfway through I noticed I went from puns to sexual innuendo.

    Ah. This marks the first time that Scipio has been other than an irritant to me. I retroactively forgive all his previous annoyingness based on the sickness of this burn.

    Thing is, so far Frigg hasn’t had to use any inner glow to hold her own with Rachel, and she is still in this fight. Unless something changes in the next panel of course.

    I’m still trying to figure out how this is gonna go. I’m thinking it’ll continue and Frigg will be beaten and we get to see her on a souls earch mission, or she’s just gonna really lose her cool, go glowy and come close to seriously hurting Rachel before e-merl steps in to save her.

    Or Frigg really does get beat, pouts a bit and we continue lol

      Yeah, that’s most of the likely possibilities, aside from Frigg manages to beat her anyway without glowy shit. There’s also direct third-party intervention, the recess bell rings and everybody has to go do something, scene-change and they never tell us how it ends (because that would be such a perfect dick move), deus ex machina third party intervention, and Frigg saying something like, “Okay, I get it, your glowy shit is somehow letting a little bitch like you survive a fight with me. So where’s speed tutorial?”

    I would say if E-merl had the balls, he wouldn’t have them because Frigg ripped them off.

    Something about putting a nice edge on his blade is making Scipio incredibly talkative. He’s practically gregarious!

      I would think a nice edge on Scip’s blade would make other people talk – or stop talking, as the case may be.

    Well, Frigg -has- screwed a shit elf, so E-merl’s got that going for him.

    Also, I feel like Rachel might be better at this if she kept her eyes open. Although I guess it worked for Scipio…

      Come to think of it, I wonder if E-Merl would technically be a sky elf due to his magic or if there’s elf-magic as well as magic anyone could learn.

        Most of his magic comes from trinkets, though. Two magic rings and a pendant, IIRC.
