I was all set to mock the people who were trying to give Near an Aussie accent last week, but now I just want to deck Annabella for completely failing to read the room.
Alright! Time to recreate “Lady and the Tramp!” I wonder if Annabelle strong armed some locals to sing for them as well?
Annabella Mafiosa strikes again,
cleaving clean through the moment.
Does Kai know that his perfect day
isn’t a thing on which she’ll relent?
Impressed by each other’s lives
and relating tales of their cities
as Annabelle watches through phones
and takes care of her pretties.
Kai’s gonna burn, after the fish
and, maybe, after the pasta too.
Can he accept this controlling hand?
If not, what IS he gonna do?
Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Wassat mean? Curious minds wanna know? 😁
Annabella!!! Stop it! *-.-
At least Near is getting a laugh at Kai’s expense.
Overall, another great page. As Mr. Stargate mentioned above, it works be funny/great if “The Lady and The Tramp” got reenacted.
*would
This is what happens when you don’t wear the vest, Kai!
Anna’s just trying to help!
Heh, beginning to catch on eh Kai? XD At least Near is amused by it! Also nice way to set up a potential second date with Near wanting to visit Hybrid City in the future. Maybe she’ll get to watch Kai out on the basketball court! That would be fun to see: both Kaya and Near cheering Kai and the team on.
Someone will have to get Near a team shirt!
Wait, Near’s dad works in I.T.? Cleo’s dad! There’s a way for a future visit to happen! Perhaps working together on a big project.
It is rather more likely, given that her father has relocated at least once for his career, that he would relocate *again* especially to Hybrid City, as so many other families have done. There are far more opportunities for an IT person than working for a “rich guy”. Any medium-size or larger business needs a permanent IT staff. So I think there is a reasonable chance for more than just a visit. Especially since there is a piece of art over on Deviantart showing Near and Kai dancing together in Kai’s room.
I’m gonna be mad if they don’t kiss by the end
Kai has legit earned a kiss, and Near seems to really like him…
Of course Near is amused, she’s part cat and those little fur balls can be mischievous. She might also be flattered by the effort and finds this as adorable as Kai (and that’s saying something).
So Near isn’t Australian by birth? I guess that means I don’t need to picture her speaking with an Australian accent (it was pretty hard to for some reason). Now, it’s time for the lovers’ lunch! Rose petals all over the table? You’re really giving yourself away, Anna. Kai likely to be more certain of your meddling, even if it is benevolent. I’m sure he appreciates it, but he still would like some privacy.
BTW, Happy birthday, “Kaiju” Robin Dassen!
It’s Robin’s birthday? When did we find that out? Either way, happy birthday!
Just a little early. It’s on the 28th. Thank you 😀
Heh.. The same day I get my crown replaced. Thanks for making the day special, Robin! LOL 🙂 AND Happy Birthday to you!!
A little early. It’s the 28th ^^
Thank you 😀
How old will you be?
38 ^^
Happy 38th!
Happy (slightly delayed) Birthday!! 😋
Was going to comment on the day (my time), but other things demanded my attention on the bus ride to work…
And if you start feeling bad about your age, just remember you do have older people hanging around here too…
*Starts grumbling in 43 year old…*
You know, in reading Near’s description of her home, it struck me that Hybrid City may be unintentionally doing a disservice to the world. Sure, there are so many hybrids there that no one stands out, and they are totally accepted and all, but since only 1 in 1000 births produce a hybrid (which makes the Bat Brats a HUGE statistical anomaly), that means families with hybrids are migrating to the city, further reducing the hybrid population elsewhere. That means everyone else has even *less* chance to be exposed and adjust to the new normal.
While you have a point, there’s also the fact that many places, like the twin’s old town, would outright ignore discrimination, if not setup a local culture that encourages it. There’s also the fact that Hybrid City is a central research location, allowing the phenomenon to be, if not understood, at least approached in a medically ‘treated’ in a consistent manner, by which I mean ensuring that everyone is actually looked at by health professionals who will adjust things for the individual’s needs.
Hybrids are also rare and NEW enough that they are only rarely considered as a potential source of all of society’s wrongs by the under-educated, conspiracy theorists and crazies. US Gospel Preachers, who I (living halfway around the world and nowhere near any of them) believe can be seen as a microcosm of modern religion under-educated/crazy movement ‘leaders’, would likely be split on them, with half of them accusing Hybrids to be the work of the devil, while the other half raise them up as signs God is still paying attention, cares and is interacting with the world, depending entirely on whether they primarily preach “Doom & Hate” or “Love, ‘Charity’ & Unity”.
I used the one line quotes around individual words to show that the intention wasn’t the meaning behind the word, with ‘Charity’ specifically meaning “Give Donations to, & buy things from, THIS religious institution specifically, because we want your money”.
So, did Annabelle reserve a table in every restaurant in town?
I bet she did. 🙂
No, she just strikes fast as lightning XD
Kai speaks of his and Kaya’s birthplace as if the townsfolk haven’t all slaughtered each other by now.
That’s because they haven’t been informed; it’ll be a pleasant surprise for the twins if they ever need to go back for something.
Near’s heat doesnt have ear holes when she is holding it
HAT I meant to say HAT
the black part is a circular hole, connected by a strip concealed behind the chair
I’m with Huh? on this. I can clearly see the hatband, yes, but there are definitely no earholes showing. Since we can see at least 75% of the brim, there should be at least one showing. the only other detail on the hat in her hand is the shadow cast by the middle part. Still, that’s exactly the way countless animated shows do it too, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So Kai and Kaya can breath fire.
Near can spontaniously combust.
Annabella can make Kai’s blood boil.
Lot’s of Fire themed Super Powers we’re learning about! =^^=
Annabella is asking for Kai to light a Vest on fire.
BEST COUSIN EVER!!
Four candles are too much, though.
There’s a spelling error: in Italian “reserved” is “riservato”, with an “i”.
Near:”How do you know it was Annabella?”
Kai, picking up the card: “Because she can’t spell worth crap.”
Learning that your date has close friends is not a bad thing.
OMG, the looks on Near’s face are making me fall in love more and more with this character.
I love her pose in the second panel, she is just adorable. She also beautifully answers everybody’s questions as to her accent in a very humorous way.
In the last panel, it’s very hard to parse her expression. On one hand, she looks like she’s laughing at Kai or possibly at Kai‘s reaction. Alternately, she almost seems delighted by the roses and candles in an over-the-top romantic moment.
You also have to realize that the rose petals and candles are for Near’s benefit, not Kai’s. BIG mistake on Annabella’s part.
