WCDT strips 3726-3730 (April 23th-27th 2018)
BenRG:
Yeah, I think that Claire, especially during her immediate pre-transition period and during transition, was a bit of a shut-in for understandable reasons. One of the things that has been characteristic of her since she's started getting closer to Marten and others is that she's had the self-confidence to start coming out of her shell and expressing her personality in her appearance.
She's strongly a cyberpunk fangirl so lots of body mods is to be expected but she'll still limit herself because she probably feels that a qualified librarian needs to be able to pass as 'respectable' and conventional.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 22 Apr 2018, 23:23 ---To me, the strip title today has a dual meaning for Emily. Just because she wanders through UMass with no real destination in mind on some days doesn't mean that she's necessarily 'lost'.
However, on a deeper level, she's also not 'lost' in her journey through life. She's quite happy and fulfilled in how her life is going and following a seemingly-random meandering path through the world. As she ranted to Clinton once, she's quite happy being the way she is; she isn't lost or too weird to know what's wrong with her lifestyle. 'Weird all the way down' is how she puts it but I think of it as 'following her own drummer'.
That said, I suspect that, if pressed, she could give a long list of strange things she's done that she appends with 'I won't do that again.'

The line "Not all those who wander are lost" has been around for decades, but the ideology within it has been around for centuries. Emily personifies it extremely well. If the whole purpose of your journey is to wander, then you cannot possibly get lost. One of the easiest ways to discover new things is to stumble upon them.
As for her probable list of things she wouldn't do again, well, there's a saying for that too: "Life is trial and error. Mostly error. Lots of error."

I'm so tempted to suggest this to one of my RPG groups. An entire party of Bards, and we'd call ourselves the Tenacious Defenders.

In a LARP I do (Disclosure.. haven't been for a couple of years) Bards have some of the most powerful magic in the system.
If you are going up against a high level Bard, you'd best pray he has no immunity to "Silence"... which, of course, is never the case.
:-D

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 22 Apr 2018, 22:55 ---Clearly, non-gamers are at a serious disadvantage. (The last time I played D&D seriously was in 1975. I don't think it was even popular enough to be Satanic yet.)
--- End quote ---
I've only just recently started playing myself.
Though, I have been watching a few streams. Namely; Highrollers (#rollonsunday), Critical Role season 2, and Dice Camera Action.
