depending on the situation a good psychology background can be like holding a butter knife to holding a mental flamethrower. i cant even imagine the power someone with a knowledge of how someone really actually thinks can do once they have the ability to open up a brain and move things around a bit.
to me he is more of a ‘kill it with fire, then pour salt on the ashes’ case then ‘capture alive and climb up a mountain of corpses to do so’
also, id punch a nun to have hair like jason. man looks so diffrent with no arms
@Novawolf7 You’re saying he had some sort of dignity before? 😉
So…Gabriel is actually an AI at war with an AI that recruits brainwashed military vets, hackers, and cyborged ex-…’professionals’ with embedded sunglasses? 😉
…. whatever i was going to say about this week’s update promptly fled my brain in terror at the sight of jason’s naked buttcheeks. pardon me while I go bathe in brainbleach.
Oh hey, speaking of Jason’s butt, those Djinned stripes look awfully familiar all of a sudden. Wonder if that means anything… or if Murphy’s lip marking is some kind of Endless imitation. 😯
@Jigsaw *chuckle* Then again, I keep wanting Daisy to bend in the ‘wrong’ direction at the moment. Is it just me, or has that robe of hers been getting shorter with each page she’s been in?
@Cole They’re *teenagers*–they’re more likely to comment about having seen better backsides online already. 😉 And/or pity Jason’s for the lack of fur/scales/whatever.
well Sulucamas i have to say probablynot. remember Jason was born with his markings and i would think that Rei was born with hers as well thought Jason is a light child and Rei is a Celeste
I don’t think it’s the nudity that makes Jason hit the uncanny valley here for some. It’s the vector cuffs and vector diaper. Those things are creepy.
I bet Gabriel not only uses them just as restraint, but also partly for the same reasons they give you those backless gowns in hospitals. It takes a bit of dignity away and people tend to be a little more compliant when that happens.
@e_voyager: Isn’t Jason “Djinned,” rather than a Light Child? Granted Rei and Jason are very different, but things like those stripes make me think that the Soul Spectrum is circular, and that Celeste and Djinn have more in common than they care to admit.
@Hartree: That’s a great point. Probably why they don’t have full robes, either. 🙂
@sulucamas one of his his parents ( i think his mother) was a Djinn which makes him a half breed. it says that As a half-breed Djinn, he may possess some Djinn ability but that no such abilities have been seen far. meaning that he may not actually have any dijinn abilities despite being born half of one. light children fall into that category for having either one extra soul piece or one less which i think is likely in his case. but i’m just guessing here only jigsaw knows for sure
@e_voyager: Indeed. There definitely seems to be some ambiguity on what exactly a Djinned is. I’d honestly be more curious if they lack soul shells like Light Children, or if they’re at some weird sweet spot on the Soul Spectrum where they have soft shells like Celeste.
@Sulucamas All this talk about shells with the recent holiday makes me imagine Veled and Melody sitting around poor Jig with the ‘Paas: Soul Edition’ kit. 🙂
Death magic and living brain magic are decidedly different subjects, but one could argue that they are just different methods of creating zombie slaves.

Ooohh, good one.
Not exactly the same context as the original, but still…
heh i’m hearing a sales pitch!
Mind magic for fun and profit! come join the neuromancer’s guild!
When your cult might be based on collective insanity, those who want to make people sane are your greatest enemy.
So the star org is dealing in that kind of crazy?
That must mean that must mean that not all worlds have good psychological help on some planets if their hunting Gabriel this activity?
For Goddess sakes, someone give Jason a robe, or a toga, or…something. He’s flailing around without any dignity to speak of.
@ e_voyager: Assuming William Gibson doesn’t sue them for copyright infringement.
I’m sorry, but my first response has to be: SOMEONE PUT SOME BLOODY PANTS ON HIM ALREADY
Wait, you’re telling me this is some kind of cyberpunk webcomic? 😛
I get the feeling that Ace doesn’t mind being practically naked for long periods of time. 😐

For those who are terrified at Jason’s buttcheeks: Remember that Alice is equally pantsless at the moment.
Equal Opportunity Fanservice for All! :-p

EOFs gota love it :o)
to all with a problem with jasons tattoed booty- there’s far worse manass we could have seen, be thankful its a fit and smooth rear free of blemish
Im wondering one thing…If this ship is full of teenagers… Why dosent he have a towel on?

@Vulpis
Yeah i know this XD. But still XD Its just the thought (Though a ton of folks wouldnt mind it at all Adults would be going) THINK OF THE CHILDREN! XD

I, for one, welcome or Bishie, vector-cup’d overlords!
I praise Jigsaw for her even handed fan service.
I’m with Brunhidden on this one: That HAIR!
Also, I thought about that too, zarpaulus.
@Vulpis: xD “This wasn’t part of the deal!”
Oddly enough, I think the RPG rulebook actually mentions something about a soul’s “power color.” 😛
Sounds like the Endless took a page out of the Scientology handbook.
