Lizzy, it might be time to find some new friends as this one seems to be intent on self-destructing, and I wouldn’t want to be caught in the blast radius.
yep, there´s a time for old friends, and a time to leave the proverbial sinking ship to save your own hide…..at this rate, larissa will end up expelled if not in juvie. i´m not even commenting on the sheer stupidity to try something in a place with so many potential witnesses and even possible surveilance cameras……..though a tiny part of me is curious whether kaya *can* be hurt this way, or if her scales are tough enough to protect her
Well, let’s look at Kaya’s protection like medieval armor. Great against swords, a fully plated knight would be laughing at most sword attacks. That’s why they invented war hammers AND a seemingly weird way to wield a sword, which is turning it around, holding it on the cutting edge and hitting with the handle, which then becomes an improvised hammer.
Point is, blunt damage will still hurt her pretty much like normal. That ball will hurt her if it hits her.
Lizzy: …I need new friends
xD
I see at least one of these girls is smarter than a bag of green potatoes
Yeah, it’s about time there’s some reason in that group xD
Really, the group was due
for at least a single clue
The balding young hick
is as dumb as a brick
the big one’s much poorer,
she should still be an explorer.
I know these are pretty lame rhymes
I need to get with the times…
HUHO !!!
We have seen only a museum guard during all the arc for now : i doubt there is one of them around to stop larissa …………. I’d enjoy a lot to see Drago interrupt her plan XD
Who knows, maybe the security guards are ninja’s xD
Well, why stop with one criminal charge (vandalism pulling that sphere off) when you can go for two (assault assuming she doesn’t miss)! This is not going to end well, even if she misses because then she’s going to have a couple of really ticked off dragons and dogs after her! Not to mention if she misses Kaya she could potentially hit an innocent or another museum exhibit. Hmmm, potentially hitting someone else. Wonder if we may see a classic trope in the next comic. Cleo looks back, see’s the ball incoming, pushes Kaya out of the way and takes the hit herself. Man if Larissa missed that money before well say goodbye to any chance of receiving another cent (or whatever currency they use) from Cleo!
From what I can tell they use usd
Starting to think Larissa may have a touch of socoopathy, granted most children show those tendencies they usually grow out of it as they develop a conscience and sense of empathy. Probably didn’t need to considering they had a sugar snake. Somebody get her a psychiatrist!
*Sociopathy* dang autocorrect apparently thinks I’m talking about soccer
Well, repeatedly kicking a ball as hard as you can IS kinda exactly what Larissa needs right now…
Honestly something else I would like to see in the next comic is Lizzie grabbing Larissa’s arm and trying to stop her, causing a scene which gets noticed by Kaya and friends ruining Larissa’s chance. I would rather something like that happen than what I posted above.
Nice theory. And yeah, why stop with just one criminal charge? Gotta get them all, right xD
Yes man slaughter will fix all your problems
If you do it enough…
xD
Hmmmm, heh why not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgVvsfXl9E0
Not to perpetuate stereotypes, but does anyone find it weird that the blonde one is being the more logically smart one in the group?
The brain got out voted by the brawn, and the ego.
Sadly all too common when one’s temper is all fired up.
You’re not kidding. She even damaged an exhibit. You can’t get any lower than that.
That’s not weird . She’s tiny and frail , so she compensate in another domain ……………… HUH , did i just called larissa and her brown haired friend “dumb persons” ?
Yes ; yes , i have XD
I really like Lizzie’s comment about liking to get decent grades! My liking for her has been growing for some time now; this just adds so much more to it. Hmm.. Come to think of it… What are the chances that Larissa and Meg(?) only keep Lizzie around to do homework for them and help them pass tests?? Her size and looks do look rather out of place in company with the other two girls.
Tiny blonde, different grouping.
You should know by now that you can’t count on stereotypes in my comic xD
Lizzie’s beginning to see the truth,
that there’s evil right in front of her.
Led to fight, she thought, for a friend;
the truth appears in a mental blur.
She has to make a simple choice now,
one that decides the friend she keeps,
if she’ll go with Cleo and Kaya
or if she’ll stick with these creeps.
If she can’t talk her out of this
she’ll have to find another way;
what trouble are they going to be in
and can Lizzie save the day?
nice one again, Welsh 😀
Lizzy tries to stop larissa by grabbing her arm ; this one loses her grip on the ball and lets it escape when she was close to throw to Kaya , then the heavy thing crushes her foot XD
Yea , she needs to learn painfully ^_^”
Heh, just came back from Jessie’s adventure. No lie I started watching initial D last week. You could say I have…
… Deja Vu. I’ll see myself out
Deja vu! *drifts while drawing the comic*
What a coincident though xD
*continues munching popcorn*
*smiles*
Museums, in my experience, tend to have security cameras damn near EVERYWHERE, especially near the ancient and expensive statues.
Just saying.
Now we see if the facility security team is on the ball or just mooks.
Yeah, another reason why this will not end well for Larissa. She’s already going to be in trouble for damaging an exhibit/art piece but if she goes ahead and throws the ball there’s practically no way she’s escaping some pretty severe punishment for it! Very likely expulsion from school and time in juvenile detention at a minimum, not to mention her parents may pay a hefty fine to the museum for the damage she’s already caused and may still cause if she misses Kaya and hits something else.
Depending on her age, she might get tried as an adult and, if convicted, get sent to *real* prison.
Mmmmm, maybe but I think pretty unlikely. If Larissa is around the same age as the main cast (14 IIRC) then the odds of her getting sent to an adult prison are very slim.
That will also depend on how fragile the piece she has already removed is. If it breaks in her hand, well, the civil suit could be quite expensive. It is already likely to be, but your break it, you bought it, and you no longer have access to Cleo’s cash.
“And this next statue is one of the few surviving sculptures from the 16th century by the famous Renascence artist … [b]What are you doing?!!![/b]”
On the ball, nice (unintended?) pun there xD
Indeed, museums have a lot of security. Will it be helpful? That’s another question xD
Her friends are done, but
‘Rissa’s still after Kaya
Man, that b**ch is dumb!
Unrelenting stupidity and anger xD
Man I’m commenting a lot on this one but I guess my concern over what’s about to happen has got my ol’ noggin jogging! This is a little exchange between security staff I thought of after my last reply to Apache.
*kzzzrt* Hey Bob, this Lenny in the monitor room. Are you anywhere near the Ancient Statuary exhibit?
Bob: I’m not too far away, what’s up?
Lenny: We nearly had a fight there a moment ago between a couple visiting female students, one redhead in a hat and hoodie, the other a hybrid, looks like some kind of green lizard girl. Fortunately it was broken up by a couple other students before things got serious.
Bob: Alright, and now?
Lenny: Well that redhead just broke a piece off of an exhib S**T!
Bob: Lenny, what’s going on?!
Lenny: CARL, CALL THE COPS AND A ‘BUS! BOB HAUL A** OVER THERE! THAT REDHEAD JUST CHUCKED THAT PIECE HARD AT THE LIZARD GIRL!
Bob: Sonofa *starts running*
I could see that happening.
This could so be true xD
Nice writeup 😀
Thank you!
Just watch as she misjudges her swing and slams that thing into the floor.
Would be hilarious xD
I used to occasionally hit my own ankle with a bowling ball. Maybe Larissa will do something similar and send -herself- to the emergency room… 😉
Kaya and/orcrew might even be the one to save her!
Yeah, Larissa is kinda crossing a line now. And she really is obsessing.
Good to see that Liz does have some sense. Unfortunately, she’s probably loyal, so will likely stay with her friends and get dragged down with them.
I don’t think so. There’s absolutely NO WAY that Lizzie stays with them after seeing this. My guess is that she will dive into the ball’s trajectory so that the ball will hit her instead of hitting Kaya, a bystander, or another exhibit.
Yeah, Larissa is going full psycho here.
About Lizzy, who knows though. They’ve been together a long time but some things are too much. We’ll have to wait and see ^^
I often visited the Wisconsin Veterans’ Museum in Madison, while Dad was at the Dane County Farmers Market across the street, selling honey, maple syrup, etc.
One time, I got curious about a WWII exhibit. It had snow. I didn’t know if it was artificial or real snow, so I leaned over the rail to gently touch it with the back of my fingers. Within mere seconds, a security guard was there, asking me what I was doing. I politely explained that I was curious about the snow. He understood, told me not to lean over the rail again, and that was it. But, he also explained there was a monitor system on the exhibit, so even if nobody noticed me on camera, an alarm was triggered when I leaned over the rail.
Not only has Larissa trespassed and broken a detection grid; Larissa has also physically broken an exhibit and stolen part of it. As if breaking & entering, vandalism, and theft weren’t enough, Larissa is also guilty of conspiracy to attempt homicide. If she actually gets so far as to throw the ball, (which is probably made out of heavy brass) she could be charged with attempted homicide.
I’m not a lawyer, but I know what charges would/should/could be made, given the different situations.
Yeah, security can be pretty on the ball in some musea. I don’t think they are as quick to react around here though. I hardly see any security in most musea here.
OH I see someone is going to be doing some time behind bars *face palms* lets see Vandalism, soon to be attempted assault, assault, possibly attempted murder depends on how bad Kaya is hurt. *Sits down with a large bag of caramel popcorn and some drinks* I LOVE it when people flush their life down the toilet over stupid shit.
I think you just made a pun at the end there. I approve.
Yeah, she’s really ranking up those wanted stars if this was GTA xD
Dang, Larissa is really getting out of control. Liz, I don’t know how deep your friendship goes with her, but I’d probably get out of it if I were you because I feel Larissa’s obsessions are going to be quite damaging. Larissa must be focusing her rage into her strength in order to snap that ball off it’s pedestal, I hope her aim isn’t too good.
The anchor point of the ball wasn’t so sturdy to begin with, but still xD
News flash, they have security cameras watching the art; and someone just damaged the display.
This is what happens when you keep having your parents/guardians bail you out immediately after you do stuff, at least one of these kids doesn’t quite get the concept of CONSEQUENCES.
Looking forward to when we finally get to see Cleo’s place, I’m sure the interactions between Kaya and her dad will be interesting.
No consequences are indeed a terrible way to raise your kids.
Oh, they interactions between Cleo’s dad and Kaya will be very interesting, but I’m sure it’s not what you’re expecting xD
When it comes to Kaya, it’s best to withhold expectations, cuts down on the surprises
Damaging museum property. She could be expelled for that. I hope Liz is seeing how toxic Larissa is and defects to team Kaya.
Team Kaya for the win ^^
There hasn’t been a dragon ball comment yet? Surprising.
This. This right here 😀
Ka… me… ha… me… HA!!!!
Nice to see not everyone in that group is a money-driven idiot. However it is a shame to see that Larissa is more than ready to make up for her not-as-jerk friend by being even-more-jerk. Stop spreading your hate Larissa, just give it up. There can be no winners here. You’re going to get arrested for assault and destruction of public property and Kaya is going to endure a rock to the head if you get your way. Give it up now before you make things any worse. As always, an amazing solution has been found by Robin to showcase the differences between characters without breaking the plausible bounds of the story in order to do so. Keep up the good work, and as always, stay awesome!
Thanks Alpha 😀 I always try to come up with good storytelling solutions ^^ I’m glad they are appreciated 😀
Yeah, Larissa is definitely trying to make up for Lizzy’s lack of jerk.
That’s one of the nice things about your comic, Kai; the solutions you come up with are always good, without being too predictable!
Girl… with that ball, you gonna hurt somebody or yourself.
…Or it will be part of your future Buddhist necklace, you bald bully!
Buddhist monks are totally skinhead ………. Kaya , we need your help about last hairs on larissa’s head *evil grin*
If Larissa hurts herself, as darevenin suggests, she might need Kaya to ‘cauterize’ the wound… 😉
Also, she broke a piece of a statue. So, she will have to pay the museum for that.
She’s soooooo gonna blame the museum for “taking our money” after that XD
That’s not what you do with that! There’s a perfectly good cannon in the next room!
