Bates: middle panel, cutest sibling shot ever XD
Criddious: ::le-gasp::
Silver Mirror: lol they made her wave XD
Your Sister: PUT UP THE LINK FOR CHAPTER 16 PLZ KTHNXBAI
Beccaroni: Interesting monologue Ian's got there XD
Bates: Ian... sorry, too much Ctrl+Alt+Del XD
shen: ugh, I hate this page. ...did you say "Ethan"?...
Bates: Must you torture me by adding a whole new list of cute expressions to Aurora's already overwhelming cuteness? And Ethan looks like an angry black lady in the last panel, it amuses me greatly
Bates: Don't worry, I'm sure you're cramming in finals and papers just like the rest of us
shen: I'm sorry! I have a full class and work schedule!
RP: Ack! A week of no updates! DX
Bates: No updates makes me a sad panda, Shen *tears a little*.... :P
Shen: OH CRAP, SORRY!!! This time, I honestly forgot! I promise I'll have something for Friday!!!
Criddious: haha. funny. (no witty retort today xD)
Shen: ITS LIKE AN EXPLOSION.
Kara~: Is it a ... MASSIVE ATTACK?! XD Ahahha, bad song reference.
Bates: MASSIVE?! PAPERS OUT THE WAZOO?!
shen: no update due to MASSIVE HOMEWORK
lacy: got behind there a little, all caught up again! woot!
Bates: stupid shoutbox didn't let me put my name in, oh well
Name: Well thank God for that =P
Shen: I can't even draw male organs in life drawing class! Theres like this sphere of light instead where the genitals should be because I can't draw them.
Silver Mirror: aww poor Ara-Ara
PR: I don't think my boyfriend would be able to peel me from the computer if that happened....XD
Bates: Of course I should be grateful that Shen chooses NOT to draw bulging male organs in tight pants... I'd seriously never read this comic again
Bates: XD The male version of camel toe
Kara~: ... Wth is a "moose knuckle"? O_o... Though, mmmmm Ian pants. x3 *glee*
PR: You do a damn good job, though, Shen~! *stares at them some more* They look just like how leather shines....>___< Not that I've seen my boyfriend in too tight leather pants...>__> <___<
shen: Ian's pants piss me off to ink.
Bates: Eh, not as tight as my jeans, i got the full moose knuckle and everything, but then again, I make up for short height by being big where it counts. But enough about me, that Ara-Ara sure is cute... 
PR: OH. MY. GODS! *huggles Aurora* Awww... BTW...I forgot Ian wears tight pants....*drools on computer screen*
Bates: In any case, I wish I could just hug her.
shen: well at least it means I can design characters appropriately.
Bates: In any case, HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE SO DAMN CUTE!
Silver Mirror: i figured out about Aurora after the whole thing with Vaas and her saying "Wait! How much do you know!?"
Bates: Two gavistons dressed like b****y princesses show up, hmmmmmm, wonder what that could mean, Shen? :P Especially since Aurora herself has always had bit of a royal look.
shen: I cannot believe you guys called this. I mean, seriously. I didn't think I was that obvious.
Beccaroni: Huh. I'm totally going to go to all auto-mobile sites now. *cough* Lol! Ara-ara got caught out xD
Silver Mirror: lol
Shen: but shes trying to sell me a car! Thats not love that advertising!
Meridan: Its because she loves you Shen, can't you see that?
Shen: WHY YOU SPAM MY SHOUTBOX?! O.o
Silvia: http://chevrolet-9.nissov.net http://bmw-15.nissov.net http://cadillac-7.nissov.net http://chevrolet-6.nissov.net http://alfa-romeo.nissov.net http://audi.nissov.net http://audi-6.nissov.net http://chrysler-3.nissov.net http://chevrolet-2.nissov.net http://chevrolet-4.nissov.net http://chrysler.nissov.net http://bmw.nissov.net http://chevrolet-13.nissov.net http://bmw-12.nissov.net http://bmw-5.nissov.net http://nissov.net
Bates: And wowee weewow, there is indeed some nice half naked Lydia, totally forgot about this
Bates: Aurora's facial expressions get cuter and cuter each new page. You're on the verge of hitting critical cuteness overload very soon
Kara~: ... O_o I am so confused as to whether Yen likes it or not too... ... Ian's reactions only get funnier. XD Chatbubble: " ?"
PR: Pfft. Who cares if you break the fourth wall, or such? It's a good series. Plain and simple. *nods* I love the series...it's like someone stole a small universe from my head and let Shen have her way with it. *nods*
hi: who needs 4th walls?
Shen: I'm a bit confused as to whether or not you like this comic! ^^;
Yen: Not to mention the complete railroading of the plot, the obvious exposure of the setting and constant breaking of the 4th wall.
Yen: Ah yes, the first artwork was quite bad, your art has definatly improved(heads so large that should snap people's necks if they turned them too quickly!) Have you gotten better at drawing torsos?
Criddious: ::screeeeeeeach- CRASH:: ahhh, generic sounds of revelation; gotta love'em.
Shen: its pretty small. maybe I'll draw some more soon.
PR: XD Holy crap, there is. I missed it the first 8 times through....XD
PR: Wait....you just reread the entire comic yourself? XD And I remember Lydia's boobs....*attacks ch. 7* PANTIES....XD I am female...just...perverted...yes...>.<
Shen: you know whats a complete waste of time? spending an entire evening re-reading your own webcomic and lamenting on how awful the early artwork is.
Shen: like one panel in chapter seven had Aurora panties, and Lydia's breasts had a whole page in chapter... what, 3? 4?
Kara~: *shrug* And even -I- wouldn't turn down a female fanservice, but there HAVE been some in the comic. (And Shen's devART.)
Kara~: *LAUGH* I was KIDDING Bates. Lawdy, when you have a great comic like this there's fanservicing EVERYWHERE. And no one said it had to be female oriented fanservicing. Fanservice is just a service to the fans. --It could be pencil sketches!--
Bates: O_O I don't recall very well either of these things *joins PR in rereading of entire comic*
PR: *blinks* You've drawn Aurora's panties? Did I miss it, or something? *re-reads entire comic*
shen: well I can draw girls too, lol its not a yaoi manga. I have drawn Lydia's boobies. And Aurora's panties...
Bates: I'm not certain I wanna see any fangirl service, being male and very well straight, thank you. :P
shen: I'm not certain Merchant knows or cares who Ian is ^^;
Jimmy: He looks so sad that she's going. Awww.
Kara~: And... fanservice picture of Ian doing poses! Like bowing... and looking confused... and sad... and things we don't normally get to see. Lance is the main character, he can have his fun but even we need some more bad-guy action! I'm still waiting for Merchant to go "ISN'T HE ADORABLE TAKIS?!" and Takis just blink and go "He's awfully... pale... Hey kid, where'd you get that b****IN' scar?"
Kara~: ... Though who first debated with me over Ara-ara being a preeeencess? >_> Ian: ... Required? Aurora: *Sweatdrop*Um... Sister: ... Wtf,Ian ur dumb, lolz.
Kara~: "... Why are you -required-." OH GOD. Ian's expressions this chapter have been... like... @___@ ZOMFG awesome. Ian: *brow cock; confusion* They make me want to hug him and squeeze him and never let him go. *coddles him*
They make me want to hug him and squeeze him and never let him go. *coddles him*PR: *doom squeal* HE LOOKS SO SAD! I WANNA CUDDLE HIM! *flails*
hi: i love this comic! the surprises never end!
shen: there we go.
shen: huh. that should have updated. *checks*
Bates: No update today?
Criddious: Its okay, we're illiterate together
shen: $*&$#*& CAN I SPELL ANYTHING RIGHT?!
Criddious: and I forgot on O in forgot D:
Criddious: Psst, shen ::whisper:: you forgt one of the L's in kill ::whisper::
PR: Shen: Fan service scene? O____O *gives herself a nosebleed* Oh, my gods. >___O I would have a heartattack over that....
Beccaroni: @ Nantalith You're right! I shouldn't be so harsh. <3
Shen: I didn't think something as simple as Ian bowing would be cause for notice! what else should I draw?...
Nantalith: Just because you kill people doesn't mean you are a rude or impolite person, I think.
Beccaroni: Yes, yes I did. Damn him, the charming psycho-killer murderiser he is...
PR: *twitters with Kara~* I got some funny looks when I did....XD
Kara~: I did! I DEEEEEEEED! *twitters*
PR: Did any other Ian fangirls kind of twitter happily to themselves (or quite loudly) when he bowed?
shen: s*** I forgot a text bubble XD
Kara~: I could just see Ian thinking "Left...or right..? Hmn... Protect the legs, arms, torso or groin first... s***..."
Kara~: ... OMG. Ian's BOWING. *bubble hearts* See?! If we remove Lydia from the picture, throw Ian and Lance into a room together, they'll settle their differences with some hot-- Er.. ... Fighing? It's a small room.. after all... *cough*
Kara~: Ahahahah, I like Criddious, finds a good thing in everything. Anyway! :O! Ara-ara! JOOR PAREENTZ R DED. *sad face* :(
Anyway! :O! Ara-ara! JOOR PAREENTZ R DED. *sad face* :(Bates: One will be nice, the other a total b****
Criddious: Thats just my guess though :p. Though if i'm wrong I don't mind, after all, we get a fight scene that way
Criddious: Still, somehow I find it unlikely they are going to attack him. They are probably going to either greet him happily or taunt him or aurora playfully. I get that idea from their personalities
Criddious: When i see their looks in the last frame I can imagine them using telepathy: "So, do want to rip off the arms or the legs? I'm cool with either."
shen: me too for sure! ah, refreshing!
Bates: VICTORY, SHEN! Cuz that totally annoyed the crap out of me every time I tried scrolling through >_<
Nantalith: Man, those girls look badass in the last frame. Glad they are not looking at me 
PR: I meant that they haven't tried to, like, blow him up, or something.... XD
shen: BOOYAH, figured out how to change how often damn thing refreshes.
shen: I missed something. what'd he say that was mean? Do I want to know?
Kara~: Who? The sisters? I'm sure they probably have!
PR: XD Ian having an orgy with Gravistion royalty? Sounds kinky! XD I'm surprised they haven't already caused some sort of chaos!
Kara~: All I'm imagining is one of those sisters getting to know Ian and Ian either shoving them away or going "Well, if I can't have Lydia... WHOO ROYALTY!"
Kara~: :3 We was riiiiight. And yeah, Yen has a point. It just needs more umph in the comic whoring (Which I can do). Ahhh, I love this panel. XD The expressions are FAB.
Bates: Aurora's facial expressions in this are adorable
Name: Aurora's facial expressions in this are adorable
Yen: Just being honest, this is not excactly a very often visited webcomic, don't get me wrong, i really like it(or I wouldn't read it, or wait impatiently for the next page) I just don't get why they would target this instead of a place where they're bound to get more clicks.. or a place that supports url codings.
Kara~: >_> Ouch. But Yen is a name I don't know. O.o
Silver Mirror: oooh that coloring is really cool
Criddious: That was a tad mean Yen xD
Yen: Why would anyone spam the shoutbox of an almost unknown webcomic?

PR: Get some sleep, then, silly!
Shen: ARG, I have to tone the next update. I'M TIRED.
hi: that's pretty awesome. i love the outfits.
Criddious: I"m guessing they are, orsomthing close. Considering how csualy they are speaking with er. Family or superiors. One of those two i'm guessing
hi: ooh! are they aurora's sisters?
Shen: no update today because colour updates wear me out. Its a tradition.
PR: <_______< Still waiting for Ian with cupcakes....
Shen: I like you, Criddious- you remember TINY DETAILS XD (and many of them, yes, are foreshadowing.)
Kara~: I thought that might've been it as well, or perhaps it's just fashionable? And yeah, I'm definately thinking little Aurora is royalty.
Bates: No wai Shen! I'd CONQUER! XD
Criddious: @kara~: Yeah, Its a Circlet placed over the gem (if you recall, the murdered grav had no circlet on). It poped up awhile ago in the story line, though it was only in one panel that if I recall correctly. I personally think the circlets might have something to do with ranking in the grav' community (or possibly just the royals. Though this is all just speculation)
PR: I had a sneaking suspicion that she was back when Vaas mentioned something a few chapters ago....
Kara~: And question: If a Graviston's jewel is connected to their mind, head, etc, does the gold band those two are wearing go OVER the jewel...? O.o
Kara~: Also, I think Ara-ara is a Gravi-princess :3
Kara~: Reading back through it from Chapter Nine through Fifteen, the reason I think the scar healed that way is because instead of puncturing the skin, it just slit it on top of it was Lydia who healed it, hence the scar.
Jimmy: I am very much in love with all the girls in your comic.
Kara~: O_O... DAYUM those girls are hot. *whistle!* :O I love the colors!
Shen: they would crush you most magnificently. But also you would probably have a better chance with both than just one.
Bates: *Looks at today's update* Yeah, I'd do em both at the same time
PR: I must have this picture! Must! I have my fiancee reading RAO now too. He's laughed at me when I told him how much I like Ian....and when I told him he reminds me of Krystofer.
Kara~: <_< I was talking about the Ian in an apron picture. I could slap a mini-cupcake on his face though? >_>
PR: I realized that just after midnight myself. XD
Shen: oh- shows how much I know! I forgot about their birthdays! XD
PR: Just realized two things: 1; Kara was talking about the cupcake picture. 2: That Ian and Kyrstopher's birthday's were yesterday.....DX @____@ Bad fangirl! Bad! You forgot that! *beats self upside head*
Beccaroni: *can't wait* >:3
PR: aw...then I shall draw it myself! BWAHAHA -chokes- Gah! *coughcough*
shen: f*** SHE FOUND IT D8
Kara~: *up for an award and the 20 minutes it took her to look at -EVERYTHING- on her D: drive just to find it was on her E: drive...*
Kara~: AHAHAHAHAH I SAVED IT. *evil cackle*
Kara~: *blink*...*GASP!* I KNOW WHERE THAT PICTURE IS!
Criddious: Coming* ( can't believe i misspelled that D: )
Criddious: "Oh look glowing lights!" "No, those are just incredibly merciless gravistines comeing to rip us limb from limb." "Ah, i see... Time to run then?" "yes." ::Flee:::
S Mirror: Oh noes! D:
hi: hahaha!!
lacy: .... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL- OLOLOL
Shen: I actually may have once drawn Ian in an apron married to Krystofer for someone's birthday. It shall never resurface.
PR: I recognized her....XD @_____@ you know what I just realized? That 3:30 in the morning is probably the worst time to make buscuits....and still, I make them....Yay stupidity! And I would so pay good money to see Ian in an apron....XD It's just no use! Us Ian fangirls need to be obsessive over the crazy ones!
Shen: thats Takis' wife, Delia. I didn't tone her this time so it may be hard to tell.
Beccaroni: Couldn't find them. <spam>I heart Merchant!</spam>
Beccaroni: I don't recognise he girl with Takis...? *goes to Characters*
Bates: Yeah, thats usually the face a man makes when a girl announces she's pregnant. I know my heart stopped for a second when my girlfriend thought it would be funny to say that to me.
Criddious: Haha, I love the look on krystofer's face when lydia says its his baby xD
Bates: So will "Lets needlessly kiss some Gravisons" become a silly reoccuring inside joke? Cuz it should
Shen: I'm so embarrassed. especially because I couldn't install my font on my work comp so I had to use comic sans.
Bates: XD I thought "kiss some gravisons" sounded strange
shen: WOW, I just caught a misspelling that changed an entire word.
shen: *does not remember most of her own past comics*
S Mirror: lol, "you mean it will never happen!!" XD
hi: haa ha haa!!!! this is so funny!!! for a second i believed it. taht first one takes the cake!
Kara~: Ooooooooh! Okay! I get it now. xD And Ian with a cupcake... with a cute little apron and a chef's hat... Dawww.
Bates: XD I was referencing how back in the day, Shen was prone to just really obsurd comics that ended in "j/k, lolz". Not her exact words, but you get the idea
PR: *Crawls back out of the fans, with bloody stick* Muwahahaha! XD I love the first panel....XD There should have been one of Ian going "I'm going to and make cupcakes for everyone!" XD
Kara~: Just for the fun of it Bates, don't ruin the comedic value. And yes! DA FANS! *dundundunduuuuun*
Bates: Since when does the mighty Shen need April 1st to make joke comics?
PR: Nuuu~ NOT THE FANS! But the psychosis is part of the attraction! XD
ra-ooo: Hey, my math book has a problem in it in which Aurora passes her Spanish test. I figured you all might like to know that.
Kara~: "I GOTE BETTA!" NAME THAT LINE! *throws PR to the fans and hides backstage with Ian* :3 <3~
NAME THAT LINE! *throws PR to the fans and hides backstage with Ian* :3 <3~Shen: you know he may be cute, but he also DID murder Zeil and attempt to rape Lydia. In case you forgot. Plus the whole "kill Lance" fixation.
PR: *waves now pointy covered stick about* Muahahaha! O_o Maybe I will! (gotta love it! LoTR was my favorite series growing up...movies=not quite as much win, but still up there)
Kara~: <_< WAAAAAAAA SHO CUTE!!! D: Iaaaaan! *threatens PR with a larger stick* You want him? COME AND CLAIM HIM! (Ahahah, LoTR reference.)
Shen: I suppose maybe I could have used the SFX "REALIZE!"
Criddious: lightening bolts to the temple are never a good sign. Must not be very pleasant either.
hi: heeeee!!! ian's so cute!!!!!!!
PR: O______________O He looks so innocent in the last panel....T_______T I want him! *waves big stick menacingly* I'll gladdly fight for him! XD
lacy: ShoWelp, as I said, welcome to use me as a sounding bored/whatever ^^
Shen: you can try, but he has a few fangirls who may fight you for him (including Aurora!)
PR: MY GODS! *drrols over Ian* Can I keep him?
Shen: crap, its Thursday. I need a page for tomorrow!! and I replied, Kara
Kara~: She~en, go check your Private Messages on the forums, preez. >_> ASAP, it's a tad bit important. <3 Danke.
Bates: YEAH AURORA GO FOR THE COCK! When good comics go HENTAIIIIII! XD
Kara~: His pants in that panel look super sexy too. Damnit, I want vinyl pants. :(
Kara~: ... I love the stunned expression of "Gyeh did she just lift my shirt?! Oh, bending torso... The ache... must... not... 'Aurora!'"
Kara~: n_n On a second note.... ZOMFGIANLOOKSSOGOODILOVEYOUSHEN!
Kara~: Yen has a point, but considering how much she adores him, would it matter to her? Ooooo, the plot THICKENS.
Beccaroni: Ian! Looking good 8D
Yen: Makes you wonder how Aurora would react if she knew some of the things Ian had done, so far she's only seen the good side, so it's hardly "villain love"?
Bates: Back! Comics are awesome! Also, I now own a Spider-Man shot glass, its awesome
Shen: crap, its starting. I hate this scene...
Jimmy: Awww, Ian!
hi: *squeals* sooooo cuuuuuute!!!!!!
Silver Mirror: maybe someday Ian will be on the good side
Nantalith: Heroes are made by the people that adore them. So if someone adored Ian (ahemAuroraahem), he could be a hero... though possibly not
Shen: well some girls are gonna like villains no matter what, so I still call it a win as long as no one thinks hes the hero.
Kara~: By the way Shen... D: You never answered my question on the forums about your maybe lack of attending SC.
Kara~: Even most villains aren't hated. I mean, look at Sephiroth from FF:7... WHO really hates him? But he WAS a villain. And Hojo. But Hojo is hot. <3
Shen: well hes meant to be a villain character so I'm glad at least somebody hates him, means I'm doin' it right.
Kara~: I always adore Ian. I've never hated him. Ahahaha, I'm strange. ;_; Poor Ian though, damn.
Beccaroni: Ian, is screwed up! DX Feel sorry for him once, then hate him the next.
Silver Mirror: poor Ian T_T
Shen: have fun!
Bates: Awww man, I was hoping to see the friday update before taking off to Florida. Oh well. Back Tuesday! So it'll be like getting two updates in a row!
lacy: awww
hi: hey! i have a deviant art account! my name's dream-whisper visit please!
Kara~: <_< I cringed a little at that last line. <3 Poor, loveable, crazy Ian
Bates: XD I figured but couldn't resist teasing a little
shen: I was going for escaping air, she really is supposed to be dead ^^;
lux_eterna: Maybe it's wrong of me but I find that last line HILARIOUS.
Bates: OH GOD! AIR BUBBLES, IAN! ALIVE! OH YOU POOR, DUMB BASTARD!
Naya: Hahahah..... Ribbit.
hi: it always makes me mad when family members screw up other family members. like when itachi ruined sasuke by killing the whole clan. poor poor ian! : (
Shen: Ian's life was just saved by that frog. For no reason other than I love drawing frogs.
Jimmy: There is something truly disturbing about that last line.
Kara~: ;_; Poor Ian...
Kara~: And FYI: PH is overall sexy. It's his torso, his creepy features... His SWORD. *shiver*
Kara~: That is, as they say "MmMmm, good", boys and girls.
Kara~: <_< Hey man, that band idea. We're making history here! "Girls Love Mentally Ill Men" with Ian as their cover boy.
Silver Mirror: aww Ian was such a cute kid
Snolaf: IANNN!!! CUTENESS!! Aws. I wanna cuddle him. I love how I haven't checked redallover for so long and now I get to read a whole bunch of new pages. w00t!
Nantalith: Romance? No thanks.
Naya: I now feel so sorry for Ian. Although I still doubt I'd get within 23 1/2Ft. of him by choice <<;;
Shen: Lydia is the only woman for Ian anyway. whether she likes it or not.
Beccaroni: Poor Ian! *sniff*
PR: XD Sorry, I already have waaay too many guys who want me....and I've got worse ones! MMm Mmm, multiple persona and biological psychosis!
Bates: Either a really bad emo band... or a really weird punk band that sings songs like "Pyramid Head is Sexy" and "Girls Love Mentally Ill Men"
shen: they would cover "Shot Through The Heart"... with a SYNTHESIZER!
hi: p.s. ian's cute.
hi: what kind of music would they play?
Bates: XD Ha ha ha! Should be a band name
Shen: shoutbox romance? XD
Bates: ... I'm DID, OCD, and probably a long list of other things, love me.
PR: XD Yes....*wags tail, waiting for next update) I just realized...I'm attracted to men with mental issues....O_________O
hi: who?
Bates: He does have that manly physique XD
PR: I love Ian! ...As psychotic as he is...XD
Shen: it may be weird, but she isn't alone, I've seen LOTS of PH fangirls. I think its his torso.
Bates: XD And Kara, I do enjoy a kooky girl, but when she's stating Pyramid Head sexy, that's just too far
Bates: Ehhhh, Ian isn't that disturbed. I've seen worse... course now you have kick it up a notch. Bam!
Kara~: I mean, you have ME for pete's sake... And Lacy, I like your style xD
Kara~: F*cked up is an understatement Bates. I would make your brain cringe in fear. <3 And Shen, your SURPRISED at the fans you attract?
hi: i actually think now ian is rising to my fav character list. poor thing...
Shen: well this is a comic that has Ian White as a character, I'm not too surprised what sort of people I attract ^^;
Bates: -_-;; Some f*cked up girls here
lacy: Oh pyramid head was scary, but he was damn sexy too
Shen: I shivered in FEAR, if that counts.
Kara~: His scariness is attractive... But then, am I the only girl here who shivered when Pyramid Head showed up in Silent Hill? >_>
Beccaroni: Baby Ian! Poor thing T_T
hi: i actually feel bad for ian. i mean, hes sooo cuuuute!! too bad he grew up and got phyco. he could have been more attractive (he is, but his scariness covers it up)
Nantalith: Back stories are cool.
Kara~: I agree. Good Ian drama, very satisfying to the readers. YAY UPDATES!
YAY UPDATES!Silver Mirror: we haven't had any drama for awhile so its all good
Shen: sorry for the drama.
Jimmy: Ah, childhood trauma. Nothing like a good old backstory to lighten the mood.
Silver Mirror: T___T i feel bad for him sometimes
Bates: I'm guessing this is some pleasant flashback about Ian's happy childhood
Gilder: Ahhh... swamp burials. Nothing tragic about that.
Silver Mirror: lol XD
Musha: at least she thanked him :P
Bates: XD There you go. "Well, since you're all set up to sew anyway, fix this... b!tch"
Kara~: Ahahah... Poor Lance.
Shen: well God knows she can't sew, and as long as he has the needle out... XD
hi: he knows she loves him.
Bates: What a sweet sister she is. Might as well have been "Do my laundry, b****"
Kara~: *reads back a little further* ... Sawblade for a otaku's wet dream, hmn? Sounds nice. Get pictures. <3
Kara~: "Lance/Krystofer fangirl match"... I refuse to claim responsibility for that. IT WAS ALL SHENS FAULT! >_>;;;
Kara~: OMFGILOVEIAN. So crazy. Amirite? *swoon*
Shen: it should update on Tuesday.
Kelsey: Are you going to update again soon? =(
Bates: Oh yes, crazy face. First a twitchy eye, but you don't stop there, oh no, you kick it up a notch and make the other eye bugging out eye.
Shen: I like those joke comics, they amuse me to draw. As does Ian's crazy face. I LOVE DRAWING CRAZY FACE.
hi: he always looks cute. most of the time.
Ness: I love the puppy eyes in the last panel. He just looks so cute!
Nantalith: I'm amused by the picture of Vaas in the first panel - he is my favourite guy.
KMD: I am so amused by the picture of Ian in the first panel.
Bates: I can deal with that, thats fine. As long as its not like Lance/Krystofer fangirl match made in heaven kinda stuff. XD Like that joke comic you did a hundred years ago, I almost puked, thanks
Shen: ...well... maybe I should warn you then... I do have one gay character... so that may come up later...
Bates: Kara, just no. If Shen introduces yaoi into this comic, I'm done reading it. I'd rather lick a saw blade than read some otaku girl's wet dream.
hi: i think its cute how he doesnt know how to deal with women but tries anyway
Kara~: *drowns in the gutter*
Kara~: Interesting thought #1: If Lance knows nothing about women, but went to an all boys school, that would of course mean he knows a LOT about men, hmn? ;)
Bates: "Give birth, have breasts, b**** a lot... Professor, shouldn't there be more in this book than that? I mean its more like a pamphlet than a book"
Dirk: I bet the book he read was one of those ancient "All You Need to Know About Women" that was written in like the 17th Century, by monks ^_^
Beccaroni: Wahaha, poor Lance ^w^
Shen: I bet the books Lance reads are adventure stories where the damsels are always in distress.
Shen: CHECKING MY DEVART NOW.
Bronze: I love this comic. <3
Jimmy: I hope it's not the wrong kind of books.
Kara~: *SHOUTS* SHEN! Check your devART, preez.
Kara~: :O LOL, man-to-man with his sister. xD
Bates: This strip is hilariously true. Two members of my band go to an all-boys school and they're the biggest spazzy nerds ever.
Shen: and then there were bandits, like, earlier in the day. Lance hasn't made a habit of thinking first.
Silver Mirror: yeah, psychopaths assaulting her and her brother fighting for her honor
Shen: I think Lydia is starting to get a little wiped out from all the fighting recently.
Silver Mirror: I think Lance has a bitty crush maybeh ~_^
Jimmy: I'm starting to think a lot of these fights cannot be avoided.
Bates: Lance needs to slap a ho and put her in her place, damn yo. Lydia needs to understand, the more you avoid the fight, the more inevitable it becomes.
Zefert: Thanks for welcoming me; nice to see a comic that hasn't been abandoned
hi: welcome Zefert! also, i like the new page anyway! but i want to know what lance is going to say...
Shen: no tones, no time. sorry- stressed this month.
Zefert: I new fan!!!
Shen: crap. out of town- no Tuesday update. super sorry.
Silver Mirror: i think the tones look fine Shen
Shen: I so half-assed the tones on this page XD
hi: but hes sewing...
Musha: maybe Lydia is trying to tell Lance to come sit with them....?
Silver Mirror: Lance is anti-social XD
Silver Mirror: lol its okay Shen
Bates: Unless that's kinda their thing... says the artist formerly known as "No Wai!"
Shen: man what a bad drawing to forget to resize. No one needs to see Aurora's ass that big.
Shen: SORRY! SORRY!!!
lacy: someone forgot to resize?
Gilder: Ack! too big! too big!
Beccaroni: Looks cool, but can't c all of it. ^^;
AC: Wow. Now that's a huge-ass update.
Jimmy: ...That's a big update.
Silver Mirror: OMG BIG >.<
No Wai!: you might want to resize today's update
lacy: woot!
Shen: lacy the fanart you gave me in in fan creations now!
lacy: should color this one.. lol nice monocromes...
Silver Mirror: yeah whenever i see the name Lydia I think of your Lydia XD
Shen: that happens to me every time I hear the name of anyone in my comic! ^^;
hi: what is ian thinking? oh! my sisters writing a book, and she named one of her characters ian, and now every time i read her updates, i see this comic's ian's face. i told her, and she got freaked out(her ian is much much different)
Jimmy: HAWTsome. All I gotta say.
Silver Mirror: omg evil Ian -_-
Shen: CRAP, an *actual* emergency arose so I MIGHT not make tomorrow's update, either! I'll try, I have the drawing done...
No Wai!: I check even on days that aren't marked for updating, cuz I'm forgetful, so she'll still have me XD
Shen: augh, I know, I'll update tomorrow, even if its more filler.
Treat: To retain readership, there has to be something to read. If updates are irregular or greatly interspersed, then you lose the audience.
No Wai!: @Shen then I agree: Girls really are just weird :P
Musha: I love the glare from the to girls in the last pannel XD
Nantalith: Funny either way!
Shen: Genuine curiosity on Ivy and Lydia's part.
No Wai!: No, i get that. But what does it matter if thats Vaas's FIRST kiss?
lacy: Didn't you read the prior stuff? The way Lydia heals at the moment is through a kiss, it's how she's figured out how to tap into her second gen powers.. which should make things later alot of fun!
No Wai!: I still don't see what the big deal is if "that was his first kiss" or how that even REMOTELY relates to healing his arm
hi: i wonder what vaas is really tinking though. and he should have some idea of why they are staring
Shen: I don't think I'm gonna make my deadline tomorrow... I'll aim for Tuesday.
Silver Mirror: he made a "ick" face, with his tongue sticking out and appeared horrified XD
hi: what was his reaction again?
Silver Mirror: i think Krys would have given the same reaction he gave to her kissing Lance
Shen: I'm not certain Krystofer was there to witness the incident, I think just Ivy.
Jimmy: Krys still looks like he's fighting the urge to destroy Vaas.
Gilder: Vaas? First kiss? NO! Love'm and leave'm Vaas. Hide your women, here comes Vaas. Vaas the Unfettered... that's the kind of man Vaas is.
No Wai!: Vaas is a manly man! First-timer would never just go in for the kill! XD
S Mirror: yay!
lacy: LOL his first kiss! Well it obviously wasn't all that bad....... LOLOL
S Mirror: lol i hope she punches him XD
Shen: crap tomorrow is the last page, I'd better draw some more filler for Friday...
Jimmy: I love Vaas.
Stasia: Bow chica wow wow chica wow -- uh what? HEY. Haha, theme music.
lacy: LOL I love how she's all "oh.. wow.. what was that?" and then he's all 'what use are you?' LOL He really needs to learn that you have to LET the healer know ahead of time that you need healing... But this is more fun! WEEEE!
Shen: I think that last drawing of Lydia there in the bottom is possibly the greatest thing I've ever drawn.
S Mirror: lol if Vaas wasnt a jerk though i would have no reason to love him XD
hi: how insensitive vaas!
Beccaroni: Whahahahaha! Maybe it don't work if she's enjoying it. *wink winketc*
Shen: as the creator, I ship no pairings and all pairings at the same time- its really very strange. so I feel no guilt drawing whatever the hell I want! XD
Musha: honestly I don't know why you've been loosing readers. Whenever there's no update I go "awww" and think that something must have come up in your life that held you back. And then I wait excited for the update to come
lacy: lol love that.. And she likely doesn't realise he wanted healing or something like that.. lol, poor girl! He's a jerk, but a cute one!
lacy: I dunno about loosing readers.. maybe it's just one of those slow things, or the lenth of time between some of the updates...
Silver Mirror: she has to kiss them to heal them
Nantalith: Ha ha ha!
Gilder: You know she loves it.
Beccaroni: Does it have to be kissing to heal? or can she just touch them?
Stasia: Oh snap! Less a shock than Heath Ledger, but its a happy moment in dark time
I'm Special: lmao, I thought that Vaas was kissing Lance and was like "bwebhdwjkwbjkb wtf?!?!?! AHHHH! YAOI BAD! MEIN EYES, THEY BURN!" and then realized it was Lydia
Jimmy: I admit, I wish it was Krys.
Silver Mirror: omg Lance would kill him...Krrystofer would probably be O_O!!!
Shen: I'm a little embarrassed, lol! (and I can't help but wonder what Krrystofer would do- or hell, what LANCE would do.)
Silver Mirror: *dies* I <3 you shen! this is awesome
Silver Mirror: *squeal*
yay: for kiss
hi: i wonder how long itll take lydia to get fed up, with all these boys and her healing powers i mean
Silver Mirror: omg is it Tuesday yet? XD
Silver Mirror: WANT!! lol
Shen: in one page, somebody is going to know that I drew this comic for her! (I didn't intend for EVERYONE to see it!)
blue-pepi: Wow! Loving the comic so far! Keep it up
Silver Mirror: O_O i can see where this is going...cant wait for next page!!
Musha: Hi.. I just wanted to give some you (shen) some credit. I love your art ans your style, and so far you're doing a great job with the story to. seriously, I love your comic XD
Nantalith: That is so awesome - to sheath your sword in your hand :P
Silver Mirror: aww Vaas has a boo-boo...maybe Lydia will kiss it better? XD
Beccaroni: Mwahahaha! What hurts more? Your shoulder or your pride, Vaas! XD
Stasia: Shout! yeah <3
hi: hee hee.
Emily K: Stop hissing at your shoulder, Vaas, that's not going to make it stop bleeding any faster.
Shen: the next six pages of comic. I reserve my energy for non-filler.
hi: i know this probably sounds stupid and ignorant, but no ink for what?
Shen: NOOOOO INNNNNK
Shen: I should probably. I was just stretching for time.This page is much-needed filler, too.
Gilder: You should have a symbol like a little watermark for pages that aren't canon. that way if while writing the comic you think of a hilarious little omake or aside to the seriousness of a page, you can post it and people won't be all "WTF mate?"
hi: ill read it, and tell all of my comic geek friends to read it too!! not that its geeky...just my friends and me...yay red all over!!!
Shen: I won't stop drawing, I just want folks to read it!
Jimmy: I couldn't tell you how to keep readers besides keeping with updates, but you've already explained that. In case it helps, I love this comic, and definitely don't want to see it gone.
Nantalith: S Mirror: I sew well and I'm a girl. Shen: you are not going to stop ROA are you? Please don't - I've been reading almost from the beginning and would be upset.
Shen: I don't even know what an RSS feed it! ^^;
falco: Sadly I can't tell you anything USEFUL like how to actually make an RSS feed... never done it myself.
falco: Maybe an RSS feed would help keep readers. If a comic skips updates, I sometimes forget about it, which might be what happened tos ome people.
hi: what store are we going to?
Beccaroni: I don't think there's anything wrong with the story. You did have a long gap there, mebbe some ppl dropped off then?
Krystofer: OKAY I'M OUT OF CHICKEN ANYWAY
Kara~: I wanna go shopping!
Emily K: HEY KRYSTOFER! LET'S GO SHOPPING~!
S Mirror: i can sew really well and im a girl..but im the only one i know...its weird o.o
Stasia: Why is it that even in real life, boys are better are sewing dresses than girls? I try, but boy is better ._.
Shen: Lance makes terrible coffee. you'd do better to ask Krystofer.
Emily K: Lance should go make me some coffee. >:/
Shen: lol. some comics I draw just for ME.
Kara~: SHOUT! SHOUT! LET IT ALL OUT! THIS IS THE COMIC WE DREAM ABOUT~
Blaze!: OMG SHOUTBOX! ...What's going on?
Silver Mirror: wut
Emily K: What the hell?
hi: FMA is awesome too!!!! eds hot and so is roy. i still need to finish watching that. this new page is confusing me!!! but i get the thread metaphor.
Nantalith: HI: Yeah, Full Metal Alchemist - FMA.
Beccaroni: Merchant! Yeyeyeyey! XD
Emily K: I sure will. Om nom nom.
Shen: I HAVE NO TUESDAY UPDATE. Enjoy Merchant some more.
S Mirror: makes me wonder if he has unspoken motives <.< hmmm
Shen: Yes, Merchant is half Graviston. Makes things interesting, doesn't it? =D
hi: nantalith: yeah. ian scares me but i love him anyway. in this, i would have 2 say my favorite is chris. vaas is awesome. and, by FMA u mean fullmetal alchemist, right?
S Mirror: Question though. Isn't Merchant a halfblood? Half Graviston and half Ereidan?
Jimmy: I like him. We should see more of him.
S Mirror: Oooh I like Merchants outfit
Shen: Mousie: Cursing is unbecoming!
Nantalith: HI: My guys in this or Naruto? In RAO, I adore Vaas and Ian is pretty cool - crazy though. RAO and FMA are the two manga I hunger for.
hi: and i like the note by lance that says u were tired when u drew that. i love ur comic too!!!!
hi: hi emily k! i love your comic!!!!!!!!!
Mousie: Scan the s*** I drew for you!
Mousie: ythgbTIMEFORFILLERNOW

hi: vaas doesnt like ivy. but dont worry! i do! yaaay awesome comic!!!!
Nantalith: Cool page.
Nantalith: HI: You're right! I completely forgot about that. I'm terrible - I tend not to remember story lines that don't have my guys in them :p
Snolaf: Whoa. Sweetness. A shoutbox! Great comic. Love it, love it, love it. I miss Ian, though. T.T
hi: cool! the smilefaces show up!!!
hi: oh! tsunade was afraid of blood in naruto, but she got over it when they fought orochimaru and kabuto. lance is hot too. yay! a new character!! shes awsome.
Nantalith: Oops - will control my language in future posts - sorry.
Nantalith: That is a s*** phobia for adventuring but I've never come across in a manga before - awesome.
Gilder: Vaas isn't mean, he just sees things in a far more grounded way then "let's run off to adventure!" like everyone else seems to.
hi: hello!!! this is my first entry! yay! *does first entry dance* i think chris is falling 4 ivy. hes hot. yaaay chat box!!!!!!
Shen: Ivy was actually the first character I created for this comic.
Jimmy: New addition to the team?
musha: update.. YAY XD thank you *bow my head in thanks*
Musha: Will you update today?
Shen: whoops, forgot to update...
Beccaroni: He's never gonna let her live that down... now she just has to find what he's afraid of...
Silver Mirror: aww. vaas is kinda mean lol
Jimmy: He is way too excited about that.
Shen: Vaas is not above using somebody's weakness to gain an advantage over them, or to amuse himself.
Silver Mirror: lol Lydia is chewin him out
Emily K: Is Vaas going to be a dick now and wave the bloody knife in her face?
Shen: TIMES UP. NO MORE GUESSES.
Nantalith: Yeah, coz he's sexy.
Shen: plus Vaas is pretty intimidating all on his own.
S Mirror: maaaybe
lacy: I would think someone holding a bloodied knife in ones face would make anyone squimish
Shen: Lydia feels no need to involve herself.
S Mirror: yeah thats it, hemophobia good point, where is our dear "psychobait"? lol
Jimmy: Is Lydia just hanging out in all this? I'm loving Vaas.
Emily K: Hemophobia?
Shen: =)
Silver Mirror: Is Ivy afraid of blood? what is that called again...
Nantalith: Awesome! Vaas is the best.
Shen: todays tones brought to you by Mangastudio in place of Computones. Thats very important.
Silver Mirror: nope...sept Lydia in my crack world XD
Emily K: Vas doesn't like women. >:/
Shen: You know I updateses on Tuesdays and Fridays. you wait one more day!
lacy: *pokes* update? I'm not shouting.. *bats lashes* I'll draw pretty pitters
Shen: I think hes actually just giving Ivy a nickname but come to think of it, knowing what I know...
S Mirror: Vaas knows everyone, he must be really good with faces (he knew who Aurora was and this "Duchess")
Meridan: Well, then, we need to see more Merchant to prove his awesomeness, no?
Shen: I think Merchant is jealous that Vaas is replacing him as "favorite besides Ian"
Silver Mirror: Merchant/Vaas...XD
Ilvack: I'm thinking Sylar and Vaas for a crack pairing.
Shen: That is a very impressive crack pairing there.
Meridan: Such as Sogeking/Lydia...
Meridan: Oooh! The magical land of fanfiction, where anything can happen!
ami: vaas now! vaas forever!
Shen: in the magical land of fanfiction, they are already hooked up.
Meridan: Sooo......when are Vaas and Krystofer going to hook up?
Nantalith:
Shen: Huuuungry eyeeeees.... I feel the magic betweeeeeen you and IIIII....
Silver Mirror: omg chatbox XD update FTW!!
Emily K: Run while you can, Ivy! He's got the hungry eye!
Donkringel!: Yay! updates!
lacy: yeah! finaly!
Shen: hey look I updated. And only about ten hours late!
