Panel 1) Of course Marigold would be organizing a tabletop game of some description (I can't really identify it)

Panel 2) Took me until reading the forums to understand what was going on. Hold on to your naturally curly hair there, Claire! Or you'll, uh... get a scare? :P

Panel 3) Either Clinton is really good at swindling people, or Steve just wanted an excuse to get drunk. Probably the latter, I think.

Panel 4) Some party games/activities just fall flat the instant you start them. This particular one probably needed Dora to make it truly interesting for Tai. :evil:

I'm thinking maybe Shadow Hunters. "Last werewolf" implying more than one wouldn't make so much sense, but there is a werewolf in it, and it sounds like they were playing the same type of "players have secret identities and affiliations" type of card/board game.

I was going to ask where Dora was, but its probably her hand near Hanners.

Also surprised that Tai didn't try to get more people to go skinny dipping.

It's the werewolf variation of Mafia. The game would start with more than one werewolf, and then the townspeople hunt to find them before they are all killed.

When I first saw the second panel in the livestream, I thought Emily was providing a tail for pin-the-tail-on-the-Marten. 

Wasn't until Jeph colored it that I saw her hair was cut... 

Drunk bubbles and flushed!  Think they were playing "truth or dare"?

I'm sorry to see the haircut, but Emily must have awesome blind-behind-the-head-haircutting skills to achieve such a clean bob. If we all had them, hairdressers would be out of business.

And the flushing thing? Yeah, it is real...  :oops:

I suspect that's right; I am gonna play that version on Wedneday.

Our version includes some additional roles, like the Drunkard (is so drunk he doesn't realize he is dead, ie he dies one round later than he gets bitten) and the Star-Crossed Lovers (if one of them dies in any way, the other dies as well. Can be fun if one of them is a werewolf and the other a townsperson.) If the Star-Crossed Lovers are the last to survive, they win the game as well.

Skinny dipping can be fun with two people, if it is the right two people. If it is the woman you are involved with/interested in, it can be VERY fun. Tai is doing it wrong.

This raises the question: where has Dora been all through this montage?

Unless she is the disembodied hand in Panel 1.

I like the neat little detail of Hanners' drink being on a coaster in panel one.

Also, I'm not certain about this but would Emily's haircut be that shape if she'd just put it up in a ponytail and chopped behind/in front of the knot? That might explain the tidiness of the cut.

Not wrong at all, it is a great hairstyle. She managed a clean cut of the ponytail, that's a tough move to pull off. It usually comes out uneven and choppy.

Which is what I was thinking. Of everyone there, wouldn't Tai have gotten Dora to go swimming.

I imagine it was a matter of her going "hey let's go skinny dipping!" and then just went for it without realizing no one else (except Gabby apparently) was coming along.

That's most likely what happened. May be she should have waited a bit longer to initiate it? After the gang has consumed a bit more judgement impairing substances.

I, too, hope that the party will keep on going for a while longer (in terms of strips). At least it looks like they will be spending the night there - may be the weekend? Angus may still be fit to drive, but it is apparently getting very late. Whatever Jeph decides.

If Dora's serious about taking it slow, she probably would've politely declined/said she didn't want to abandon the game they're playing in panel 1.
