Which brings me to why she was prepped and ready to murder someone: she was planning to murder the owners if they showed up early! 

Emily is actually Hannelore.  They were switched at birth (nevermind the totally different appearances and all of that), and thus the "Hanners kills everyone at the end of QC" predictions can still be fulfilled.

It took you eight years to type at the astounding rate of four words per minute?

The real question is, how will she kill everyone?

[DSL]

Hanners is also Pizza Girl, according to Milholland. She will do it with poisoned mushrooms.

[Is it cold in here?]

So, the guests ran the dishwasher, but how many people's pants were included in the load?

Depends - Dora, Hanners, Gabby, Claire, Clinton and Cosette are unaccounted for.

Which is a chilling observation considering how the arc started.

[PintsizeForPresident]

Maybe it's not the first time...?

Also, I'd not be surprised if it isn't the first time they heard the phrase "Shh... I'm fighting Kefka".

With her mind?

[Nevinz]

FFVI is the only one I have played.

But, y'know, it's the best.

Sure it is 

Seriously thought, I only began to play any game of the Final Fantasy series this summer. I've completed since the last months FFIII and FFX. Never played FFIV.

Did Kefka made an impression on you?

Ohmigod he's the best villain ever.

Other villains want to be evil. They want to take over / destroy the world.

Kefka succeeds.

And even before he does, he just runs around doing completely insane things.

He's just the best.

[idontunderstand]

Emily's hatchet!

I d'ohed!

[Near Lurker]

Wait, why would signing the books in blood be in poor taste?

[pwhodges]

I just took it to mean what he did to his hand.

Prediction: Hanners has everyone bound ready for extermination as they look on in horror.  She raises the hatchet to take the first life but as it's in the air, Jeph runs a week long montage of how all of her friends changed her life so much and so positively.  She realizes she can't kill them, releases the hatchet and it falls, blunt side first.

The punchline: the dull part of the falling hatchet hits Marten in the groin, he screams bloody murder

And then Sara shows up with an allosaurus and it eats everyone.  The end.

I call shenanigans. I still says it's a dream, or some sort of "gotcha"...
*stubborn*


And in response to the new poll:

I've been playing my PSO character on Gamecube since 2006...I just got to level 178. FoNEWearl Represent!

It had to be done.

I'd beg to differ.

Compare Miss Reed's last appearance with Emily's mom.

[Carl-E]

Miss Reed's last appearance

Guess we know where Marten got that nose...

[Tova]

I lost a whole day once - it was a new release!

...
"Once"?
"New release"??

I recall losing ludicrous amounts of time on Boulder Dash Construction Kit on the C64.
I'm not even going to start to describe the amount of time sunk into WoW ... (thankfully NOT in the background as I type - I stopped playing when Cata was released).

[TheEvilDog]

Hi, I'm Paul and its been 2 years since I've played World of Warcraft...


Anyway, prediction for tomorrow - awkward conversation! Or a rude awakening for Marigold.

[K1dmor]

 And.....Emily is adopted  (?). 

 Does Marigold consider Emily as a friend yet? Or maybe "Just some girl who Marten introduce us" ?

I'm glad I got bored about half way through Cataclysm, that game was a massive time sink.

Also, Marigold looks a bit like a cat to me now.

[Tova]

By design. I really started to resent it by the end.

[Nevinz]

Aw, poor Marigold.

Emily is just so tactful.

[MillionDollar Belt Sander]

Good job, Jeph.   This one made me LOL. 

[Bluesummers]

Oops...how'd they forget Hanners?

Oh wait...she had her own ride. X_X

[riccostar]

Her poor parents... The question is how is Hanners getting home?  (even though we don't know how she got there)

[Bluesummers]

(even though we don't know how she got there)

O RLY?!

[DSL]

(even though we don't know how she got there)

Well, technically we don't know what the damn thing *is.* We've just made guesses.

I still think it's her hat.

[Bluesummers]

I'm convinced it's some sort of sentient zeppelin...I don't think Hannelore would really be comfortable with the idea of a hat.

 Poor Marigold   

 It's like saying:
 "Yes, i'm her friend  "
 "What? No, you are not "
  That's gotta hurt...

[Mr. Doctor]

Hahahahaha I know memes in general aren't really a great thing here but I just gotta say that Emily's father reminds me a lot of High Expectations Asian Father on the last panel. That face.

[DSL]

I wonder if dad considers Emily too old to be grounded.

Also ... Tai said all the beds were made. So where the hell *was* Hanners?

And is the stealthed sentient flyer out looking for her? It has to be used to this sort of thing by now ...

I am more than a bit worried about the grounding thing. Or generally Emily getting into trouble.

Oh, Hanners seems to have a habit of passing out on couches. I expect that's where she was.

No ideas on the invisible robot.

[Truec]

That sure is a tasty looking bowl of meat they've got there.

[PintsizeForPresident]

Well, this... sort of. I bought my first PC from my first month's wages after graduation (I did not have enough money for a computer when at university ); the first game I installed was Civilization, which was by no means a new game by then (1997). It ended in a 1000 year war between myself and those pesky Babylonians that refused to give up... Until I had nuked their capital... repeatedly. When it was finally over I could hardly stand for sitting still for hours on end.

About the comic: Wow, that was unexpected. I actually laughed out loud (as opposed to the silent smirk most often meant by LOL) at the last panel. Gotta love Hanners. 

[Bev]

I thought I should mention that I am extremely envious of Jephs hand drawing skills. By that, I mean he draws hands REALLY well, just check out the last panel of todays comic. Hands are notoriously hard for cartoonists to draw, you'll see a lot of unskilled people like me draw characters with thier hands in thier pockets or behind thier backs. I just love Ems hand in the last panel

[K1dmor]

 Actually, it could be that he doesn't like peas.

[Illeist]

Quick! Defeat the awkward zone with MAXIMUM RIDICULOSITY.

[Doc]

How did the potato glob on Emily's plate suddenly turned green?
Or is it an egg? But then again ..

[Caspian Sea Monster]

That.... that is a very good question.   

[Y]

Yes, I remember playing a game till dark and longer, I also had a game telling me to take a break several times, Anno 1404 I think.

I wonder how much time has passed now, since it seems already bright again outside.., oh no wait those are curtains, still dark. But sometimes depending how long a party lasted, you wake up in the late afternoon.

[maxh]

She replaced them with avocado potatos!

[westrim]

Shouldn't her parents be used to things like this by now?

[myytgryndyr]

Once? New release? LOST?

I've sunk huge amounts of time into games, still do and probably will for quite some time to come. But it's fun. In the words of John Lennon, time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

On the topic of Emily's parents being used to this kind of thing: Didn't she say she didn't have any other friends. So it might well be the first time she pulled something like this.

I believe the longest I've spent with a game was when I played first the Lego Rock Band Endless Setlist, and then just for good measure played the Rock Band 2 ESL in the same weekend. And also, the same week, I managed to get the Beatles 24h achievement. (play all songs and get to the finish within 24h of starting a new gamesave). Wouldn't call any of that time lost though, it was a LOT of good music
