The base is still "guy" and I don't see any reason why I necessarily need to be any nicer to Steve than to Jimmy. None of the nicknames I said are anything but tasteless teasing. If anything I was too kind to Jin.
Just remember, in the words of one Little John in a certain movie, "You've gotta be a man to wear tights!" Steve's manhood is not in any doubt.
If you are still bothered just imagine that I said "blouse-bearing boy" instead.

Hmmm. I guess I'll keep my comments to myself then in the future. It's not my intention to be so brash.

X'o'Lore, I'd seriously contemplating rewording it to be blouse-bearing boy (using the edit-function) as it disturbed me and I'm straight. Yeah, it's political correctness and I dislike that... but the wording just left a bad taste in my mouth. Your initial effort was lost in the "did he say that?" moment.

Well, I apologize for derailing this discussion so. On topic, there is a fourth member of this party not fully present on this page. She ought to be standing right beside Jimmy where she could easily hear that whole exchange with M3H...

Not scouting ahead. You can see her in panel 1. Steve was between Claudia and Jimmy, so that's why she's not in the last panel. And yes, she heard everything. Heh heh heh.

Poor Claudia is in somewhat of a team leader despair at this point having been so long in the company of these three iijts, and is moping along at the back. She's head of the class and was supposed to be heading up an awesome anti-pirate recon team with An, instead she's on babysitting duty. wanderer. You can be on Team Jimmy if you want! (god knows he needs *someone* on his team) we might give him a nicer storyline one day. Just bear in mind that we're not just mindlessly picking on the nerdy kid here, his attempts to win Jin's attention back in chapter 4 were kind of underhanded and had some pretty disasterous consequences- which he never owned up to or got found out for. Mecha certainly gets a boost in the future... for reasons which will become clear.

Besides the fact that Steve Jobs has replaced Bill Gates as being Evil Incarnate? =^-^=

Steve Jobs is on sick leave again. He sucks at being Evil Incarnate. I nominate Eric Schmidt for the job.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently Eric Schmidt is stepping down as google CEO. How are we supposed to find a proper Evil Incarnate Overlord at this rate?

Yours truly (as in being evil incarnate, not being Stephen Harper - even evil has its standards). Though people never seem to believe it when I tell them I'm evil. =^-^=

But what if I don't want to? ;D I mean, I don't have anything against the guy, and it kind of sucks that he gets the bad end of everything, but I don't really have anything for him either. He reminds me a lot of myself, in that he's a mostly useless nerd, who never has the courage to tell the girl he likes that he does like her, but unlike me he actually went so far as to try to set up his heroic fantasies ("I'll save her and she'll fall in love with me!") with disasterous results. And the one time he might have actually accomplished it legitimately, he slept through it all (how the heck does someone sleep through a cannon barrage?). He just has nothing going for him. I can't even say "he's just an honest guy who can't measure up to what Jin's interested in" because he's not, so I can't even support him as an underdog. There's just no reason to really like him.

Actually, in some ways he fits the "Nice Guy" category, in terms of those individuals who whine and claim to be nice but are passive-aggressive jerks who honestly would be no better a romantic choice for a girl than a jerk or ass. (I should know, I'm a reformed "nice guy" though I was hopefully more benign than most... I upgraded my Jerk rating so now I'm just an Ass!)
Which is why turning him into a girl or manipulating events so that he doesn't win over Jin is just entirely too much fun to write about. ^^;; (Even if Flib forced me to undo those changes. I swear, she has no sense of fun. Well, unless I get her drunk on enough gin first....)

this is all getting a bit confusing time scale wise... Even I'm confused. Okay, I'll try to sort it out; day 1: The harpy attack on the bridge of Doom night 1: Nymph keti first shows up. day2: all on the road night 2: Team A hit the motel, Sparkle attempts to escape and gets the smackdown, team A flee and steal a carriage, Team B hit the motel and get cannonballed. Day 3: Team A arrive in the EC, evade the watch and plan their attack, Team B lost their map at the hotel are being misled by M3H apparently . Night 3: Team A attack the pirates and fail miserably. Wolf-Keti attempts a rescue, gets distracted, steals the sword and gets a little MGSD. Day 4: One can only assume it was bad. Day 5: team B arrive in the EC to widespread destruction.

Heh. Why is it the first thing I thought of when I saw "gets a little MGSD" was "she got some chinese food?" ^^;;
Haven't seen things this bad since the time I ripped a tag off of a mattress. Oh man did that cause a lot of destruction....

She could've got Chinese food too. Being crazy is hungry work.
