I thought Dropping In was interesting. We've had a couple of tantalising hints about /Niea, but this is the most so far (even though there's not much there). What did she spend, like, all of Lent Term doing, that started with someone commenting on her PFLink: Alcohol Tolerance, and has resulted now in her staying up all night, trying complex modifications to her computer, secluding herself from her friends, missing lectures and climbing the /MysteriousEvilDude's staircase? --AlexChurchill
(Incidentally, /Rin seems to be able to name the S daemon with impunity. Why could this be? --AlexChurchill)
The wrong thing to say
AlanMycroft? lecturing, then. I was trying to decide which of the sleeping CompScis was me, but then I remembered that I never did CompilerTheory? -- Senji Whereas I have a horrible feeling I recognise the bushy hair of the quote-taker... The strip is quite interesting too (and not just because /Rin's outfit is fabulous). Is /Yozhik just paranoid about "fans", or...? --AlexChurchill
Hmm, love triangle forming. I can see /Megaera getting quite jealous... --CH
Nice to know that she doesn't think that she's one of the groupies.... --- Senji
I want to know what Rin's interest in her former master is all about. Is she planning to turn against him/her in revenge? If so then stalking Yozhik may come in second to joining up with Yozhik's group, who the evil dude believed were players. I'm just waiting for the inevitable (?) meeting of Rin and Niea in a social setting.

ohh - key reader senses tingling here, whats /Nikolai noted that /Peri hasn't? woot! first time posting about the strip! --macloud I was wondering whether he was just slightly disappointed that he wasn't being a rebel - CorkScrew
Hm. I'm sure there's evidence that although his parents are High Elves, they are kind of laissez-faire. It's hard to rebel against such people. MeThinks? time shall tell what /Nikolai is thinking... --Requiem
Wow, /Megaera looks *evil* in frame 2. But it looks like she might be about to put two and two together, eventually...
Evil forgetting to remind me that pf was updated. Cute, evil, plot. Everything you could want. As well as a wonderful theory debunking :) --Vitenka

Heh. The original plan appears to be "Keep quiet, bury our heads in the sand and hope that the problem goes away." Which seems like a good solution to most problems. Guess as to next event - evil minion and silly hair meet due to the 'borrowing' of the aether meter. --Vitenka (Why am I minded of voltaic bridges?) Well, it's not clear if "keep the aetheric levels down" is active or passive. (Mental image of the /StudentCommittee? stamping up and down on some gradually rising goo) And it looks like the backup plan involves rather more force than the Vice President would like."The girl" is interestingly ambiguous: I *think* their plan involves /Daedalus (given - note also "the first plan" in , which sounds rather more serious than just burying their heads in the sand). But it may involve /Shaam. {CRASH!} Whoops. Have we seen, er, the toothycat since the /StudentCommittee? discovered he was hiding as a phoenix? Either way it seems likely that "the girl" is /Megaera... which makes me a bit suspicious why SunKitten chose to use the ambiguous phrase in this strip. Hmmm... --AlexChurchill
Probably to make it sound less personal and more unfeeling. Regards aetheric levels, my interpretation would be that, since we know that spells raise the thaumic levels, and that aether is used to refer to 'mass' gain (duality anyone?) , this is a mild abuse of language talking about restricting the use of spells. - CorkScrew
