What's Faye drinking to make this sound good to her? 

FTFY

[Nevinz]

Well this makes me grin. Can't wait to see where this goes

[Is it cold in here?]

It's well established that Faye gets friendlier when she drinks.

Plenty of opportunity for backstory and character development if they do it onscreen!

[CrowFairy]

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

Is this applicable to non-Asians? Because I get really flushed. Especially the one time I let myself try sake. I have Cherokee heritage, which supposedly means that my ancestors immigrated from Asia many, many, many years ago, right? Does that have anything to do with it, possibly? Or am I just a weird white girl who overheats? I get really warm when I drink. Which is fairly rare. (Because it doesn't taste good to me, I'm on an antidepressant, and alcoholism also runs in my family. Gotta be careful.)

I expect some nerd-not-quite-twins-what-are-their-names-again-backstory.

[Soulsynger]

Oh man... I keep trying to avoid imagining what the reverse version of this game would wreak for the people involved...

[Toe]

It's well established that Faye gets friendlier when she drinks.

Does her southern accent still come out when she drinks?

[Barmymoo]

I anticipate unexpected emotion from someone - probably Faye, but maybe Emily?

[idontunderstand]

I happily admit I was wrong, the party wasn't over! I guess a potpurri isn't always the way to end a party arc.

I predict this will end in tears!

[Skaltura]

The sad or happy kind?

[Soulsynger]

The sad or happy kind?

Can't it be both?

[Black Sword]

You know, we haven't seen Dora in a while. Isn't she at this shindig too?

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's inevitable group therapy breakdown that will lead everything to the awkward zone.

[Border Reiver]

This is going to prove interesting


Or end in a call to the Police

Either way, we win!

None of the parties I ever went to resulted in calls of drinking games - they were already planned into the night's entertainment.  Seriously, no one goes into a STNG drinking game without adequate planning or prep (ie. laying in enough beer).

[sleypy]

I'm guessing she looked around the room and saw that she would have a softball since Hanners is to her left.  Based on were the twins are sitting she probably thinking, "Hell Yeah, this is going to be awesome!"

Where Emily is sitting I'm believe this will in fact be awesome. I the others don't mess up the current seating arrangements if they join in. I also hope that Tai is to the left Dora and not vice verse.

[Soulsynger]

You can always make it a rule to switch places when someone says an alcohol-related word. You usually only change the places of the person who said it and the person that noticed it first. 

edit:
Head-bonkin' time! (bringing people closer together since 1918)

"Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to meeee..."

[Schmorgluck]

It's well established that Faye gets friendlier when she drinks.

It's well established that Tai gets even friendlier. And has low tolerance. I wonder if she'll be playing.

Yes, it can happen to anyone, but is most common in those of Asian ancestry.  It has to do with how the alcohol is metabolized. 

[sitnspin]

If my therapist offered this service, I would actually be interested in group therapy.

[Welu]

I may steal Hanner's idea for my next group night. I wonder where Hanners got this game idea?

[Method of Madness]

Things that result in a call to the police are rarely boring.

[Mr. Doctor]

Wonder what Clinton did to Claire for her to act so... ehmm... let's just say "mean" towards him. From what we've seen so far the comments only go from her side.

[Carl-E]

"Geeky younger brother" is more than enough for most girls when growing up. 

The problem is, she won't let go, but that's not uncommon with family.  They always reset you to default. 




Whether or not it was your fault. 

[lanilanilani]

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

[....] I get really warm when I drink. Which is fairly rare. (Because it doesn't taste good to me, I'm on an antidepressant, and alcoholism also runs in my family. Gotta be careful.)

Are.....are you my doppelgänger? Or are there a lot of girls who get warm when they drink, but don't like the way alcohol tastes, and take antidepressants, and have a family history of alcoholism? If the latter, I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!

[pwhodges]

It often gets worse around menopause, too...

[ink slinger]

Hmm... so Faye still drinks socially.

She seems to have found a middle ground between abstinence and binging. It's an unusually healthy outcome after alcohol abuse.

Actually, it looks like she's just drinking water. I mean, it could be vodka or gin (or some other clear booze), but there are no drunk bubbles or anything over her. Then again, no one looks particularly drunk except for Emily, so maybe Faye and the others are drinking but not to excess?

[Near Lurker]

Blood rushes to the skin when you drink for some reason I don't remember.  Something about capillaries.  That's why you feel warmer (if it's seriously cold, it's a bad idea, but the worry about "drinking to warm up" doesn't apply if it's only freezing or so), but for some reason it only really shows up visibly in Asians.  I guess white people always look a little flushed anyway?  Dunno.

Doppelgänger implies that one of us is evil, I think? Are you evil? I'm pretty sure I'm not...


Oh, and regarding yesterday's game with the werewolves, I play Werewolf (the one that's like Mafia) with my geek friends all the time. I never even considered that it could be a different game. Werewolf is really popular among people like Marigold and me and is therefore the most likely option. People even play it at anime conventions.

[Schmorgluck]

I take advantage of that post to state what I forgot to post yesterday: there was a convention in my city last week-end and I spent quite some time there playing a French version of Werewolf with random strangers, and not only that was a lot of fun, but it made yesterday's comic extra-funny to me.

[kirtlandwarbler]

Am I the only one who is secretly hoping that we'll get some backstory on Gabby at some point during this whole party thing?  That whole skinny-dipping-with-Tai thing yesterday was totally out of left field, given that we haven't seen as much from her since a few strips after the interns came into the story.  As much as I love Emily being adorably weird and the bizarre dynamic Claire has with Clinton, I'm curious now.

No backstory! Gabby must remain the mysterious stranger lurking at the fringes of this social group.

[Redball]

Nawww, I'm among the last to make predictions about the comic, but I bet we'll come to know more about Gabby.

[riccostar]

We are definitely situated on the top of an emotional cliff.  So much potential energy...

I'd be interested to see if we get to learn anything about Gabby but my money is on Claire or maybe Dora (if she makes a sudden reappearance)

Edit: Emily... definitely Emily

Now for the masked stranger to rise up out of the water and silently stalk everyone at the party, killing them in mildly gruesome ways, leaving Hanners as the final girl!

Oh wait.....this isn't a slasher film. 

Yet... 

[Mr_Rose]

Besides, the killer's already in the house with them.

Though it might get distracted by Faye's boobs again…

[riccostar]

Okay, nevermind, she's passed out drunk

[kirtlandwarbler]

IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN.

There's a sting in that song you know.   



Well, now we know


Emily's after a wild night with Marten

[TheEvilDog]

Hmm, seems Indie-Boy ^tm should probably be careful, or he might end up with a headbutt to the groin and vomit on his lap....again.

[St.Clair]

Okay, nevermind, she's passed out drunk

"He has become one with his inner self!"
"He's passed out!"
"That too."

[Bluesummers]

Rub the Funny-Haired Marten! A rare and exotic bird! It'll give you good luck!

[Carl-E]

"...of which I've had several!"

So, what's the etiquette for when the hostess passes out?  Keep playing the game, or everyone leave quietly after cleaning up and tucking her in on the couch? 

[hobo386]

So, what's the etiquette for when the hostess passes out? 

From my experience, there's usually sort of a chain of command.  So if a host passes out happy and not covered in vomit, the festivities continue.


Also, I approve of Emily's adorkable affection for Marten.

[Mr. Doctor]

after cleaning up and touching her on the couch?

That's what I've read.... and I can't shake off the uneasiness, my eyes always do weird things to me.

But on a happier note... Cute comic but I hope Emily won't take another glass. Also, from my experience when the host passes out: We usually make it comfortable for him/her and if we wanna continue the party then we do so but not as loud.

[Akima]

French version of Werewolf

French werewolves? That threw me for a loup.

Margaritas are insidious. Emily went from over-excited drunk to passed-out drunk in world record time. Faye understands the risks of sofa vomit.

[Barmymoo]

I went to a party where the hostess gave up and went to bed, but made a point of telling us to carry on. She had several trusted friends (including her housemates, which may be key) who dealt with all the important clearing up and locking up jobs.

[LittleKing]

Poor Emily, she's gonna have a nasty hangover.

[idontunderstand]

She passed out happy at least.
