What a tease.

I don't know what it is exactly but I find their expressions in Panel 8 to be a little strange.

WastesTime · Post by **WastesTime** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:19 pm

Argh, the kiss almost happened if not for Kin 80

@BeanDip: They look high

Post by **lingrem** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:21 pm

bahahaha!! I love Kin's facial expressions in panels 3 and 4! LIke "Too bad.... (panel 3) I DID IT ANYWAY NOW BIATCH WHATCHA GONNA DO?!" (panel 4)

hahaha. Ruby's pissed!

This was the first time I was *right* on the button when it updated. I saw the old page, clicked through to the forum, then went "wait, it should have updated". When I hit Back, I found the counter reading "Click refresh to view the latest update!". That was pretty cool.

stevedj · Post by **stevedj** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:25 pm

The dialog feels wrong. Shouldn't she be saying "... that's a risk I'm not willing to take..."???

ETA: On second read, maybe I'm putting the "risk" in the wrong direction -- I thought she was talking about risking her using the machine to get her tail back. But now maybe I'm understanding it better - she is willing to risk the machine running down?

Krulle · Post by **Krulle** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:28 pm

Either way is a risk.

Lovely update, more or less what was expected anyway, seeing the expressions of the Kins in the previous updates.
I love the bliss Kin and Minmax are shining out. :)

My reaction to this page was : "Why, Ruby, whyyyyy?"

I wanted another "Yuck" reaction from Ruby for witnessing interspecies love in action o:
(that sentence looks a bit weird, now that I think about it)

RedwoodElf · Post by **RedwoodElf** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:30 pm

Well, looks like Ruby's not happy with poor Kin...messing up her plans for a "Kins only" group with our Kin in it.

Ruby better make it quick...if that countdown is to a forced maze reset, they better fix Psimax's counter and break theirs pretty fast.

One can only wonder what Sapphire is going to think if they manage a reset with broken counters and her Forgath and Kin are alive again.

I would have gone with: "We do not approuve!" as a title.

Peer pressure. Such a damn bane in one's life.

Earthen · Post by **Earthen** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:32 pm

I understood Ruby's line about "a risk" as her willingness to risk Kin's permanent loss of her tail.

Ruby is becoming a less sympathetic character for me, but I am very pleased to see our Kin whole again. She is going to be badass with her super-dense, invulnerable tail!

Moroser · Post by **Moroser** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:37 pm

I assume Ruby wants to talk to our Kin about leaving the MoM with All-Kins. But I expect her to decide staying with FMK. We don't know what will happen to the machine after the countdown, but some fighting is almost unavoidable.

stevedj · Post by **stevedj** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 1:40 pm

Could the countdown be to the whole maze reset? What if PsiMax had already entered the blue/red circle (I forget which) which could give one reason he didn't care about keys anymore? And with his death... the maze doesn't have a winner anymore, and is preparing to reset?

...but really it is probably just a PsiMax regen building up...???

In panels 3 and 4, MM's glove (visible below Kin's armpit) is blue rather than purple.

I wonder when someone will notice. Two by Two...I just emailed Thunt about it.

EDIT:Ninja'd!

"When the serpent becomes your prey, friends will become enemies and love will fuel hate."

The love between Minmax and Kin is fueling hate in Ruby. They are friends now but Ruby's xenofobia will turn them to enemies. Ruby is the serpent.

This can only mean that Forgath's death is nearing. They are about to exit the maze and fight Kore.

I think I thought about something like that as well, but it's a little spoilery for the final panel. I also thought of "It's the Final Countdown!" which is too non-spoilery to be appropriate and probably a better title for a later page.

Regarding the risk, IMO, (paraphrased): "If we wait, I may lose my tail." "I'll take that risk." "

Oh, and I just noticed that Kin no longer has brown gunk on her shirt. Interesting.

T-RexWithTourettes · Post by **T-RexWithTourettes** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:03 pm

Yay! Kin isn't a paraplegic!
Although I hope the weird beard/tail/eye colors showing their IME fade out back to normal eventually. It's kinda weird looking.
D'aw. Poor Minmax. He seems to not be too pissed about it.
And WAIT A SECOND if the colors faded away wouldn't Minmax's eye be back to normal?? D:

So does Minmax. In his case, bloodstains.

Those may reappear with shading.

Borys · Post by **Borys** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:29 pm

Yeah, facial expression is weird.

Kin isn't looking like herself.

Daughter Of Yahweh · Post by **Daughter Of Yahweh** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:46 pm

Dude, Ruby, you RUINED the moment!

I have a feeling Kin and MInmax's almost-kiss will look more natural after the shading.

Starfire · Post by **Starfire** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:52 pm

Great update! I am looking forward to the shading, because Kin's tail is a little flat for me as is. I'm glad they didn't kiss; something like that needs a more personal moment, not an audience, and not when they aren't out of the woods ... er maze... yet.
