The story itself

[Oxanna]

I don't think anyone knows what it is, for that matter - except, of course, our friends the game developers...
It looks like a giant protozoan, though. By the way, the opening scene should be included in the demo, so you don't need to buy the game for that.

Is Momma Bear trying to tell us something?  I must admit that I don't know what the relationship is between Rif and Rhea.  Are they related or mated?  If they are mated, is it possible that Rhea was in heat and Momma Bear is aware?

[Oxanna]

Seeing as there was a love scene at the end of the game, with Rhene telling Rif how much he's her hero and such, I expect they've mated in the meantime...

[Oxanna]

Oh, no! Are Mamma Bear and Rhene going to go traipsing all the way back to the bush where Sandy stopped and then follow the tracks back up again? I only takes them five minutes, but its going to take us two or three weeks...!
I wonder how they'll go down the cliff if they figure out what Rif and Sandy did. I don't recall them bringing a rope...

Your previous post, sister mine: methinks you're too young for that kind of speculation.

[cairn destop]

To the contrary, that was a valid observation.  Thing is, if somebody is good at tracking, they should see Sandy left two sets of tracks to the rock and two sets from the rock.  That would indicate Sandy left and returned to that rock.  Am willing to bet that they will see hemp fibers and deduce that both fox and wolf cub went over the side.  Question to answer is how one gets from the clifftop to the path?

(Cue Momma Bear)

My point exactly. They haven't made the rope that can support Momma Bear!

Your previous post, sister mine: methinks you're too young for that kind of speculation. :mellow:

I think he meant my post about Rhene and Rif.


By the way, I noticed Rif and Sandy's blankets (and some kind of bottle) had been left at the top of the cliff. Makes me think about how much Sandy really knows; why would he leave conveniently-placed food behind when he tried to run away?

[AllieFiona]

The blanket and lantern are Rhene's.  Sometimes it is a good idea to put all your stuff down before looking over the edge of a cliff.

[Oxanna]

Oh crud. Oh, this is not good. It seems as though the Otter must be after something to do with Elara - perhaps, the Orb of Storms...

[cairn destop]

Today's strip with Mamma Bear capturing the tag-along otter opens a whole new storyline.  Does the fellow act nice and lie like a rug, or does he try coming across as a concerned elder for a lost cub put under his care?  So many ways to play the upcoming weeks as they travel to the river.

Oh yes, a five-star groaner for the "fishy" line.  I do love those puns.

[Oxanna]

Oh, boy. Thanks for giving it away, Rhene. :rolleyes: Now what?

Ooh, did this familly game and comic just go XXX? I don't care, infact, I always wished ItE would have more mature themes. Damn those idiots at New World Computing for making them stop that... But I like that idea with Rif and Rhene, because I'm a sic perv.  :rolleyes:

There is a difference between maturity and XXX.  Love and sex are normal, otherwise, where did the young come from?  If you treat it properly, you can present it in an appropriate manner.  For example, I had a love scene with two of my characters where the last line went "The two went to their bedroom and he took her as a husband does a wife."  We all know what happened, but this remained dignified and proper.

Were I to go to the XXX, the next few paragraphs would describe the act, which would have added nothing to the quality of the story I wrote.  Even the puritanical mindset of the 1950's allowed Lucy to appear pregnant, which was despite separate beds in the show.  So the "normal" aspects of life can be shown without it becoming an opportunity for the author to engage in something gross or vulgar.

Ah, true. Btw, I think we should all stay clear from that topic on this forum. Let's hope WyrmMaster doesn't see our posts.
