Questionable Content XVI: Yes, Butt

[John Cribati]

As someone who has worked retail for 5 years, there's a lot of scripts to which workers are just required to adhere because corporate said so.

Can confirm. Especially when it comes to technical stuff.

[Traab]

Am I the only one who cant reach todays comic?

[Cazero]

I could reach it just fine 10 hours ago. Now I can't.

Yeah the site was down for a bit (Jeph tweeted this about an hour ago), but it just loaded for me so I guess the problem has been fixed.

and of course we get left hanging over the weekend as to what her new body will look like

We already saw it on tuesday, though?

[Max_Killjoy]

I keep expecting some sort of horrible incompatibility that prevents them from doing the transfer, or her parole officer to show up with some obscure rule in her parole about staying in her assigned body, or...

I think if that happens Roko will use her police corruption powers and make his dead body disappear.

[Keltest]

Yeah, seriously. Her body isnt serviceable, outright. Even if there is such a law, she has no choice but to break it because the darn thing is falling apart and she literally, physically cannot continue to exist in it.

[Vinyadan]

Given the specifications that she has asked for - an amazonian chassis with tits like beach balls - then "work of art" may not be wrong, in the same way that Leonardo Di Vinci painted the Mona Lisa or in the way that Damien Hurst sawed a shark in half.

Yea, but did he give the two half sharks big boobs?

[Eurus]

Vital question: does that window say "buy yourself a new ass, you deserve it"?

[theangelJean]

I'm pretty sure that's all we've seen of it so far.

But the alignment suggests to me that there's more to that line that ends in 'ass'.

[Morquard]

Yeah, seriously. Her body isnt serviceable, outright. Even if there is such a law, she has no choice but to break it because the darn thing is falling apart and she literally, physically cannot continue to exist in it.

I might not have been clear enough, but I was talking about the parole officers dead body.

[Keltest]

I might not have been clear enough, but I was talking about the parole officers dead body.

I could tell by your use of the masculine pronoun. I was simply agreeing with you and expanding on why she would be perfectly justified in doing so.

[John Cribati]

Usually I like to give Renee the benefit of the doubt, but uh. Mom friend she is not.

[Wraith]

I agree, it does sound quite hollow. While she's helped out Brun a lot, she's also inserted herself into some situation uninvited and occasionally meddled to the participants' detriment - like the time that she inadvertently sexually harassed Elliot.

I'm absolutely NOT saying that she has interfered in others' business with the greedy expectation of a reward for her 'hard work', but to help out a friend and then complain that "thank you" isn't enough does not make her sound sympathetic.

[Cazero]

So, like a mom.

- like the time that she inadvertently sexually harassed Elliot.

Wait, no, I take that back.

[Traab]

No I get the mom friend thing. Her interactions with brun are very much so the pushy parent sort of thing as she has tried to get brun a job, an apartment, etc etc etc. And her interactions with the rest of her friends is often the exasperated voice of reason and maturity towards the equivalent of teenage angst. Obviously she isnt always the mom, but I can see that comparison and it works for me.

[Max_Killjoy]

Lemon just doesn't understand May.

[Keltest]

The eyebrows need to be trimmed and the hair shorter before my brain will recognize this as May. Although the blue helps.

Mind you, there's more of a resemblance than Winslow had with his update

[Wraith]

Calling it now. Tall, long-haired and boobed, May's first act - after leaving the shop and awkwardly tolerating the congratulations of her friends - will be to go and pay Sven a visit.

Although I'll be mildly disappointed if she doesn't at some point hold a viking funeral for her old body.

[The Glyphstone]

That, and a permanent scowl on her face. May just isnt May if she isn't angry about something.

Well, this is QC. Within 18 months everyone will look completely different when the art shifts again.

The AIs, except for Bubbles, have actually had remarkable consistency throughout the art shifts.

But just before she pops up, Sven will, be talking with someone about how's he's happy to have developped a semblant of relationship with someone who isn't shaped like a bimbo for once.

May will show up. Sven will have a beat and then go have sex with her new bimbo body

[Traab]

Hey lemon, mind recording what her old body just did? You know, just in case this comes up in the future for some reason such as arguing from the probation center that they totally dont give their released prisoners unusable junk with no support structure making sure they keep working?

[mucat]

My guess is that May will show up to "suprise" Sven with her new body, and will vamp it up in an attempt to seduce him without telling him who she is, because she thinks it's funnier that way. Sven will politely ignore her advances.

May will be pissed off at him, until someone talks a bit sense into her. At which point she will go from anger to full freak-out at the thought that Sven cares more that she's May than what body she's wearing.

[Max_Killjoy]

What I don't think Lemon realizes, still, is that May never viewed that body as herself, it was always just a thing she was stuck in.

[John Cribati]

Given that Sven already knows that May is in the process of getting funds for a new body (and he might even be following the progress of the crowdfund and know she has enough), seeing a new AI with May's exact coloring might be enough to clue him in.

That being said, what are the odds of Sven not being able to get it up for May's new body?

Not good. Imo though, its entirely possible he will turn her down for other reasons. Ie he is busy with work, he had another epiphany of some sort, or he has a girl over already. It is possible he will decide that it was a one time thing because he was honestly curious about the idea, much like may was, and gave it a shot. And now he doesnt want his body hair to dissolve again. :p
