I'm really sorry for the blank comment on the last page, by the way. I don't think I've ever done that before. :'D I literally had no time to write anything at the moment I uploaded it last Friday, and it's been a full weekend, so I just threw some things at tumblr and forgot to even mention I did so on the website or FB OTL;;;; terrible...
Incidentally I missed Friday Flare the Friday before last due to the Friday update, so I uploaded two Friday Flare questions last Friday. (How many Fridays can I put in one sentence? :'D)
I answered one personal question, and Kylie answered another one. If you're bored you can check those out! :)
I apologise for my general sluggishness in responding to comments and other items of business; hopefully I'll manage to catch up later tonight.
Hope you enjoy today's update (if YOU thought they were talking about anything other than an extra piercing, shame on you*), and see you this Thursday for the next update! :)
(*oooor shame on me. To be honest, I really struggled with whether to do this page or not. On one hand I found it entertaining, on the other I felt like I was definitely treading the line, just like I did with Strip 167. I went ahead with it, but do feel free to let me know if this page made you feel uncomfortable, or if you feel like this warrants a NSFW tag. Your honesty will serve this strip as my intention is not to toe the line too much! Thankyew <3)
Ohhh, the in-oo-en-do strong with these ones is...
Link to first encounter of Eric and the piercing cry: Strip 167... sorry, I did not see that the first few words in the author notes were a link, too... =S
Edit: @author note: Do not worry, Rufi, Friday Flare Fridays missed Friday's update from last Friday is received very well this Friday, too, with this Friday Flare Fridays' Friday Flare on Friday or Monday even without your posting your Friday Flare comment on Friday - I still enjoyed it Friday ... does that Friday still make sense...?
I understand Your worry about doing these pages, but you do them so well and With so much Space inbetween them, so no need to worry, imo ^^ and having a recurring character, (poor Eric xD) to witness the innuendos is great XDD I was hoping for that to happen x)
@Digi: <3 Thank you Digi! I'm glad to know this, it's also good to note that I should keep these sorts of innuendo jokes spread out so I don't overdo it XD
(And have I mentioned how great it is to have you back in the comments, dear? <3)
It did seem like readers were waiting for a scene like this once the second piercing became imminent, so I'm glad that it came across more like fun and entertainment than being predictable XDD maybe it's predictable is a good way??
Thanks again for the consolation and reassurance <3 XD
They're probably feeling a bit dampened by the overshadowing heat of what they THINK just transpired not 10 metres from them XDD they probably went off to get some tea :'D
...about the being sluggish with comments, I don't mind. I always love to read your replies to our comments! :) So I'll go back and read them, whenever they're posted! :D
The personal Friday Flare answer was interesting! I myself am a mix of sorts (I was born and raised in the south of the United States, but my parents were both Northerners). I didn't realize you studied Brittish english. It's very similar to American english, and the difference is easier to pick up thru spoken accents rather than written words.
About Kylie's Friday Flare answer, it's really cool hearing the thoughts behind mundane/day-to-day character actions, like having different types of armor for different activities.
Aww Digi ;3;* <333 Thank you so much! And uh... *looks at the date* oh man, this response is coming a month later, I'm so sorry :'D
It's really cool to read about your background, too! In this day and age, I think it's becoming more common to find people of mixed backgrounds, and that's sweet <3 X3
I'm really glad to know you've been enjoying the Friday Flare answers! Sorry I put that on hold for a while but it'll be back again soon. It's fun being able to flesh out those tiny details that don't necessarily turn up in the comic! X3
That sounds like it could happen, Cresty! XD Though I also wonder if Kylie would even bother trying to trick Cain. She might just do it. Like last time. XD;;;
Mike: Just relax, will you? It'll hurt more if you're tense like this.
Mike: Besides, it's not your first time, right?
.
Mike: It's just the moment I put it in that hurts most. I could try sliding it in slowly.
Cain: N-no, just shove it in! I want the initial pain over with...
Mike: Uh... Are you sure?
Mike: You don't look like you want it...
Cain: No, no, I do! I want it, so please put it in already!
.
Cain: P-please d-don't move it around just yet!!
Mike: S-sorry, I was just checking to see it was all the way in...
I'm tempted to make a fan art about this. But I afraid it would be too NSFW.
LOL xwindows, I have to say, when you write out the script and bold the words like that... well, let's just say I'm rather glad to see the time I spent on the script paid off somewhat XDD <3
And omg, fanart for this page? Really?? XDDD Well, just know I never stop anyone from fanart endeavours... ;D
Lololol Outlaw!! XD I'm glad you found it entertaining! <3 Honestly I'm worried about how these kinds of pages come across when I do them, so it's good to know you found it acceptable! <33
Finally, FINALLY, got to catch all up. And I must say that this one really is not safe for work.
I'm pretty sure that you falling off your chair in a terribly loud and completely uncontrollable fit of laughter will disturb your collegues and get the attention of your boss. ;)
So, it is Eric again - though another girl...
...and not Kylie doing the deed but Mickey :)
Ohhh... those looks in panel seven... <3
Ohhh, the in-oo-en-do strong with these ones is...

And I think you over Fri-ed the circuitry board there with all those Fridays XD

What that couple is probably thinking after all that. LOL
If things go according to my original design of Cain... this is not the last piercing XDDD
Look at Cain, foiling Eric's seduction plans for Dark Shadow Organization infiltration purposes. Don't make it weird, Cain, don't make it weird XD
(Also, just wanted to add how beautiful I think that pose is for Panel 2... and 6 XD)
Cain ALWAYS makes it weird when he doesn't have to, dangit, Cain XDD
(Ahahahahaha why, thank you! <3 I'm glad how panel 2 came out, panel 6 just makes me laugh though XDDD)
And that thought bubble both amuses and terrifies me XDDD
Would say this was the beginning of a ship, but least not kid ourselves.

'Hey look! Wishing stone!' *STAB.
'There. All done.'
;P
*rimshot* :'D

Cain, Mike, please get that over with and don't raise my temperature without any reason ;DD <3
And LOLOL Jarvi-nii XDDD *hands over an iced tea*
Haha, this is top notch humor, my friend! Very impressive! Keep up the stellar work!!
Erik is awful, but not THAT awful.
They need to be less passive about their subjects in their sentences, really... ;D
but where would be the fun in thatI'm pretty sure that you falling off your chair in a terribly loud and completely uncontrollable fit of laughter will disturb your collegues and get the attention of your boss. ;)
And LOL I am so terribly pleased to know this XDD *feels proud of this NSFW strip ahahaha*
Long time no see!
I credit Eric to TomTaz, really! XD
Great job, TomTaz...uhh...whoever you are.
One of the best panels!!! Omg, and I'm on public transportation too... Dammit rufi! XD
