2024-08-26 19:04:18 +0000 UTCI can't wait for Yay vs Bubs, it's gonna be lit
darkuncle
2024-08-26 18:53:45 +0000 UTCMy thought exactly. If that's true, Yay's reaction should be picturesque.

2024-08-26 16:51:44 +0000 UTCWhy not both?

allanfranta
2024-08-26 15:57:39 +0000 UTCif she had a seam, the hydraulic pressure that keeps her formed would create a razor of fluid decapitating anyone in a 360 radius up to about 3'...
Jared Cyr
2024-08-26 14:52:53 +0000 UTCShe doesn't have any parts to have seams. She is an amorphous semi-liquid (who is, so far the only such being - other than the other Moray units).
alphanor
2024-08-26 12:49:34 +0000 UTCWell she (and her... others) are secreted directly from the goop that makes up the "Director" (which seems to be like a giant Jellyfish). So... I think her entire body is basically nanite compute/memory/io nodes in a viscous suspension? So it since she is not robotic in nature, makes sense that she has no seams.
Kurtis S Whittington
2024-08-26 12:41:57 +0000 UTCJust now realized; Moray has no neck seam. She the only one without one?

2024-08-26 07:31:27 +0000 UTCyeah I thought that Moray was permanently autonomous. She explained it at some point recently
djellafine
2024-08-26 06:34:04 +0000 UTCThey saw each other recently when Yay and Roko were at the repair shop. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5240
BookBeard
2024-08-26 04:46:08 +0000 UTCI think Liz is catching on to social niceties faster than Yay.
Yelling Bird
2024-08-26 04:37:07 +0000 UTCI hope that things go well and Yay doesn't get so distracted that they cause themselves problems. Some part of me suspects that semi-autonomous Yay might be a sort of Sandbox experiment by the rest of Yay, and not fully possessed of unlimited self control.
Thomas Halpin
2024-08-26 04:34:31 +0000 UTCIs this the first time Bubbles has seen Yay since they helped with her memories? I'm excited to see how their interaction goes!!
Mandy Hoskins
2024-08-26 04:31:02 +0000 UTCDoes Moray qualify as a translucent and present danger?
Sleepy John
2024-08-26 04:26:03 +0000 UTCNailed it, Yay
Bagge
2024-08-26 04:24:54 +0000 UTCAs you rightfully should call it. Sipping on your own gooey bag of Moray. Well, you wonβt get a straw, really. But still!
legobil
2024-08-26 04:15:08 +0000 UTCUnlike Pintsize, Liz has no crumple zones.
Sammitch
2024-08-26 04:08:33 +0000 UTCAlso Moray does seem at least moderately disinclined to rejoin the Director.
Damian
2024-08-26 04:06:00 +0000 UTCOh, this is a fantastically bad idea. But Yay is in their teenager phase, so, that's really not going to stop them.
Michael Chui
2024-08-26 03:57:21 +0000 UTCMoray won't be able to see what Yay really is. But when she rejoins (POOLG!) the director, won't that being have all Moray's memories to study? If I were Yay I would keep a distance from Moray.
Joseph Bonnar
2024-08-26 03:35:27 +0000 UTCMore of an involuntary nap than suspended animation, but a fair point nevertheless. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3393

Foal Papers
2024-08-26 02:23:00 +0000 UTCYou know, with her seemingly limitless perkiness, maybe the most dangerous person for Moray to meet would be Beepatrice. The reinforcement loop would spiral out of control.

William Cole
2024-08-26 02:04:53 +0000 UTCRoko-face dot jpeg really rivals Claire-face dot gif.
Miyaa
2024-08-26 02:04:02 +0000 UTCNot even close. Remember that when we met Yay, they were able to put *humans* in suspended animation with just a thought. They're on another level.
Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-26 02:02:32 +0000 UTCIt's not even a good power move, though. If the target doesn't catch it, it's useless. If they do, it puts them on the defensive and makes you look like you have poor social skills. Which for Yay, yeah.
Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-26 01:55:45 +0000 UTCYeah, technically she's too young for me too, but if I were back in college I woulda been following her around like a lost puppygirl
Fart Captor
2024-08-26 01:55:27 +0000 UTCTo be fair, bubbles doesn't know just how many hazards there are in the club right now
Phaine Of Catz
2024-08-26 01:48:47 +0000 UTCRoko in panel 3 is such a mood I have felt numerous times.
Shawn K. Younkin
2024-08-26 01:34:22 +0000 UTCI think Moray does know who Yay is and it's a genuine reaction. Yay has stated in a roundabout way she had looked into cubetown and I'm sure The Director has cataloged her time(s) of access.

Andrea Andrew
2024-08-26 01:30:34 +0000 UTCWere they ever technically enemies? Spookybot came to them to help (back when they had normal speech balloons). Roko didnβt exactly threaten them with arrest time.
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-26 01:29:52 +0000 UTCOpening lines resembling "you're very pleased to meet me" are definitely one way to establish a new relationship

Joe K
2024-08-26 01:25:42 +0000 UTCPanel 1: Bubbles looks pleased to see Roko. Panel 2: Bubbles is mildly curious by what Roko means. Panel 3: Bubbles rolling her eyes and getting Liz out of the range to figure out what Yay is.

2024-08-26 01:12:25 +0000 UTCI'm still on the Roko x Yay enemies-to-lovers train but MorYay is promising too
Adarsh Nednur
2024-08-26 01:02:28 +0000 UTCThe interaction between Yay and Moray is going surprisingly well for Moray because she doesn't know to be insulted and Yay probably that as some sort of power move. Like, for a normal person Yay could threaten them when they jab back at Yay's obnoxiousness, but Moray won't give them an in.
Davus Otho
2024-08-26 01:01:02 +0000 UTCDespicable. Wish I'd said it.
Maurice Kessler
2024-08-26 00:56:53 +0000 UTCI'm sitting here, trying to imagine the initial interaction between Yay and Liz. It's probably not a complete coincidence that there are 3 people between them at the moment.
Steve DeGroof

Doc Gumby
2024-08-26 00:37:15 +0000 UTCDo you hear that rumble in the distance? A horde of MorYay shippers approaches. Take cover!
BookBeard
2024-08-26 00:30:34 +0000 UTCLiz is far to gremlin to figure it out, especially once Yay starts winding her up.

Fart Captor
2024-08-26 00:26:36 +0000 UTCYay may not have an elevated opinion of themselves, given their capability, but they are remarkably smug about it anyway.
Tannerbot
2024-08-26 00:25:39 +0000 UTCLiz, at this point no one needs any warning that you can be a huge pain in the ass.
Rich Holmes
2024-08-26 00:25:11 +0000 UTCThe bar is the best place to send Liz. She's armless.
Euan Troup
2024-08-26 00:25:10 +0000 UTCUmm, aren't human beings just a sack of saline with some proteins mixed in?
Captain Button
2024-08-26 00:24:46 +0000 UTCNo, but Roko would glare at them if anything went sideways anyway
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-26 00:24:01 +0000 UTCShe just saw Pintsize get tossed. She's not gonna end up the same way. And she loves Bubbles, butbsondo we all.

enchantedsleeper
2024-08-26 00:23:24 +0000 UTCCould bubbles take yay?
Kenneth Harris
2024-08-26 00:22:38 +0000 UTCIβm just waiting for Liz to figure out what Yay is. That interaction would be interesting, to say the least.
Chauncey
2024-08-26 00:22:24 +0000 UTC100% chance that next time I'm in the hospital on painkillers or whatever (it's a when not an if) my addled brain is somehow gonna remember this specific comic and I'm gonna call my IV "senorita saline sack"
Ashbury Haight
2024-08-26 00:22:12 +0000 UTCLiz and Sven? That will be fine. Better than Liz and Yay interaction at least. Bubbles did good threat assessment

2024-08-26 00:20:59 +0000 UTCGotta love the honesty from Liz here.
Armcannon Productions
2024-08-26 00:20:52 +0000 UTCYay is starting out completely in character, being totally insufferable, and so is Moray, being a total sweety. I think Bubbles is clearing the field of any potential collateral damage.
