What IS the etiquette for this situation anyway?

Who are these jerks anyway, I hope they don't show up in a later storyline.

Cast: Harriet Barber, Heinrich Wolfe, Jack O'Malley, Sidney Malik

    The etiquette is instant camaraderie.

    "The Wizard stays away from me."

    "...Sorry, how did you know I-"

    "You're wearinga tuxedo!"

      I think that's more "magician" than wizard, though robes seem less common in this setting even for wizards.

    If anything, those guys should be more worried about their stuff magically appearing in Sidney's pockets.

    yeah, the law of conservation of detail states that these people are going to be important later on; also "i hope they don't show up in a later story line" is just begging for more detail to be shoved into them. like, straw, and a scarecrow.

      Heh... Nothing like another "Checkov's Gun", eh?

    ok, is it me, or does the blond sound like zathras? soon we will have another embasdora around....

      Haha, he's not as bad as Zathras! His English is a little clunky but not terrible by any means.

        Strikes me more as a well spoken German/Austrian fellow in his manner.

        Strikes me more as a well spoken German/Austrian fellow in his manner. (Couldn't be the "Fraulein", now could it? >:-D)

          Ding ding! A winner!

    Love the new cast pages - 'some jerk' indeed.

    Speaking as an American, I'm assuming the gesture Mal makes in the second to last panel is comparable to giving someone the middle finger?

    • Kate A 14 years ago archived

      It's a little less harsh, but yeah.

    • svartalf 14 years ago archived

      Heh... Just make sure you don't do it in the UK or Australia... As Kate indicates, it's slightly less harsh/offensive, but... >:-D

    Why do they remind me of Liam and Vargo from Darken?

    • Kate A 14 years ago archived

      Could be the vague squabbling! They actually get on much better than those two ever did..

    Oh hey, it's these guys! Somehow, I'd managed to forget that they had an appearance in this chapter!

    ... and it's only been 5 years. My brain must be failing with age.
