Dangerously Chloe 31-10-13 Fraternize with mortals

[Azrael]

So, apparently Chloe is now Jigglypuff.

In a way, it's a shame Teddy's taking Pandora with him - it would have been fun to have put Charity and Pandora in the same room... especially as it's likely Charity would recover first

Meanwhile, I wonder if Pandora has any other combat lipsticks in her arsenal - we've already seen a transformation lipstick and a paralysis lipstick...

[CFT]

Coming up next: the shark repellant lipstick!

(Maybe she has a - Pandora's! - box full of different utility lipsticks to rival Batman's belt )

One thing that confuses me: These angels are not genderless and clearly have working libidos, so why are they ashamed of sex and nudity?

['J']

same reason as a lot of real people?

[Suntiger]

But they're not humans. That's the point.
Both they and the demons act a lot like humans, it just irks me that the ones that are stereotypically a force for good sees sex/nudity as bad and shameful.
Oh well, I guess it's part of the intended humor.

[mittfh]

While it's hard to speak for all demons, the Love family do live on Earth and blend in with the local population - of course, fraternising with mortals is a large part of a succubus' job description

Angels, on the other hand, like to set themselves apart - the younger ones in particular are probably expected to remain in heaven except when on a mission as while literally Holier Than Thou, they still do have free will and are susceptible to being tempted by mortal pleasures. Of course, what the heavenly authorities didn't count on was a young Succubus prankster routinely sneaking into their territory and Leading angels Into Temptation (so staying in heaven is no guarantee you'll be Delivered From Evil)...

In Zach's case, it may be more a case of "Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself."

[Wispeln]

Isn't that the paralysis lipstick? The paralysis lipstick that only needs a tiny amount to completely paralyze someone? Seems like Charity might be stuck there a while, assuming that they don''t have an antidote of some kind.

[Artemisia]

Awww...does Prudence have a crush on Abby?

The filler (showing Pandora effortlessly carrying Teddy) looks like a comment on our discussion of Teddy's ability to carry Pandora.

If Teddy is unusually fit, for his rather short height and slender body, he might be able to carry Pandora without showing signs of stress, but if Pandora is not extrordinarily stronger than a normal human girl, there is no way she could carry Teddy without showing signs of very great stress.

There is a genre of softcore porn and pinups in which strong females carry small males - and it really does not work - they always show obvious indications of stress.

Teddy effortlessly carrying Pandora is a bit of a stretch, though it would be reasonable if he was a bit buffer. Pandora effortlessly carrying Teddy is superhero implausible.

['J']

well she is an unholy soul eating abomination afterall.

Chloe already carried Teddy in flight. Well, they are demons. And succubi feeling some welcome attention, at that.

[redneck]

OK, so succubi can be superstrong, if they feel so inclined.

Teddy of course, cannot, but a guy carrying a girl over his shoulder is not all that remarkable

[jasonred79]

Am I the only one who noticed, that for a "wimpy" guy, Teddy is really strong? I'm a pretty strong guy myself, but I'd find having a full grown woman slung over my shoulder to be "do-able, but tiring after a while".

I am big, but old and fat. I work out every day, but only work out a little bit, three lifts and a short run. Carrying a woman without showing it is normal for me. Do not much notice the load. Would regard that as strong, but not "really strong". Carrying a woman does not much effect the way I walk.

So yeah, for someone drawn as a bit weedy, it is odd, but it is not superhero odd. He is behaving exactly as I would behave, and I am no body builder, I am maybe more muscular than he is, but not strikingly muscular. Maybe he compensates for his skinniness by being young and fit. He is a cat burglar. Maybe he gets a fair bit of exercise. Being old and fat, would not be much surprised if a young and skinny cat burglar could easily beat me. Your regular video game playing youngster, I can still beat.

Yeah I forgot he's a cat burglar, that means he's subconsciously a bit Spider-man Peter Parker-ish? He's actually pretty fit and athletic, but has to keep an image of being weedy?
Also... errr... as you mentioned, you're big. Trust me, that helps a LOT... in ANY lifting or strength related sport, they DO split you into weight categories... now... can you easily carry around a girl who is taller than you? ... their builds aren't that far off either, so can you easily carry a girl who is close to your own weight, over one shoulder, without effort? ;)

Anyhow, I realised that Pandora is almost certain to have turned weightless... Teddy is walking perfectly upright. Even a bodybuilder has to tilt his body to maintain his balance, if he adds a significant weight to just the left side of his body. Science flees with it's tail between it's legs in the face of MAGIC!

If she was the same build as Teddy, she would look grotesque. We are a sexually dimorphic species, though it is politically correct to deny it and to pretend to not see it.

In the first panel, Pandora is shown to be markedly slimmer than Teddy, as she should be to look normal and healthy. I can carry around a woman who is markedly slimmer than myself without noticeable effort, and Teddy is all muscle, whereas I am largely fat.

Teddy is walking perfectly upright.

No he is not. In the first panel he is standing perfectly upright, which means he has to bear most of the weight on his left foot. In the fourth panel he is walking tilted, because he has to bear the weight equally on both feet.
