Location: Sam’s Tavern, Darkstar Dimension
Sam: Though, you lost your son, and losing family does strange things to people. Causes them to do things that they regret out of terrible pain. Even good people.
Kip: This is not what I would choose to do if I had the choice.
Sam: What did you do before you got in trouble?
Kip: I was a technician. I built machines… computers… flying ships… that sort of thing.
Sam: Oh? *laughs* I’m not smart enough to do anything like that! I have enough trouble trying to get my magikmixer to work. *picks it up*
Kip: It’s not about smarts. It’s about passion… and understanding the machine, like understanding people… *glazed over look*
Sami: o_O
Kip: Of course, that doesn’t mean that machines don’t need a kick or two. But even people need that sometimes.

Eeeeeeee! *glomps Kip*

Oh wow, Kip looks especially good there.

He’s starting to loosen up. :>

Omg, Kip smiled! That’s great, since it’s not a slasher smile as the ones before.
Well luved! Give More?

He gets all day-dreamy when he talks about his machines. XD

That’s why I can connect with Kip. Technomancy forever!

I completely understand how Kip feels about machines.
Especially the kicking of machines, since I’ve had quite a bit of trouble from my laptops lately.

Laptops seem to give me issues often, too. Those darn little buggers are so hard to fix and tinker with compared to desktops. ><

My laptop is a mess. The screen keeps falling backwards… it won’t stay at the proper angle!
Then again I got it for about 100 bucks, actually free now that I think about it, but it was only really worth 100 dollars.
Lasted me almost three years so far.

Good old Kip.

Allright KiNaTu, you DO understand your stuff!
Of course it’s about passion and understanding!
I work as an IT, and I can tell – computers are somewhat like children – sometimes it’s enough if I came to malfunctioning PC, smile at it or touch it, and suddenly it works properly!
(Ugh – but yesterday I was really depressed, I came to PC which was OK, and it suddenly shutted down connection to both networks it was connected to, and nothing I could do could help it! Hm. I didn’t try technique “kick or two” this time. Maybe I should.)
Kip seems to be really happy, talking about his “before life”! Yay for happy Kip!

*huggles the kip* sounds exactly like my fiance’s character Sid when he talks about machines.
Give Luv:

And Kip instantly lights up as soon a machines are mentioned!
Sam’s face in panel 7 is great. He’s like, what? you lost me at “not”…
Kip want’s to jump at the broken mixer…

Sam needs to see Kip’s dorky technician dance.
(sorry double post)

Lol. I second that, I really would like to see the look in Sam’s face if he sees it!
Give Luv:

I, ahem, SAM needs to see Kip trying to do his dorky technician while still bound to that chair!
No selfish desire for hilarity at Kip’s expense here, no sir.

*imagines* O_O XD XD XD.

Sam’s gonna ask Kip to fix the mixer.
This is how Kip gets untied, and how the famous flying magi-mixer is brought into being.

sorry for double (triple?) post.
Kip also built shellab 2 and 3!
Give Luv:

Yay, Kip not being crazy OMEGA, but being a personable person, all things considered.
Give Luv:

Kip seems to have totally forgotten that he is tied to a chair and talking with a guy whom he has just brainwashed and controlled like a puppet. Sam seems to be quietly ignoring this fact in favor of noting to himself how weird Kip is when you get to know him.

Hey Wren? Who do you think would win in a fight, Zento or Drake?
Give Luv:
2
Oh gosh… I don’t know. I’d have to brainstorm that with Syn.
Zento is very skilled even without magic, but I won’t underestimate Drake!
Give Luv:
1
could Zento fly without magic?
If he can, then he could just shoot Drake with his detachable spear thingy from the air.
Give Luv:
2
Yes, he can fly without magic. It’s funny how innate transformations such as Awakening, Sygnus and others are somewhat magical in nature but not effected by Drake. XD
Give Luv:
1
The effects of a magical process need not, of themselves, be magical. If I blow a hole in the wall with a spell, the hole isn’t magical, it was just created by magic. So it makes sense.
Give Luv:
2
That’s a good way to think of it — thanks, Al!
A lot of the time, that’s the best way to fight Drake as a magic user… through indirect magic. Though characters like Ben get so worked up that they don’t stop to think about things… *laugh*

Dealing with spell-resistant monsters in D&D makes you think about these kinds of things.
“You may be spell-resistant… but the ceiling over your head isn’t…”
Give Luv:

In drake’s case, the 2 dozen trees were not magical.
Also, what if Zento’s wings are being helped magicaly to let him fly?
Give Luv:

Ah, yes, the limitations of magic resistance. Probably shouldn’t tell Ben that meteo might work too, depending on how far away Ben was. I can’t say for sure, but normally when a natural disaster starts happening, like floods, major earthquakes, firestorms, magic resistance doesn’t do much. Imagines a conversation… “I am resistant to magic, you can’t fight me!” “But how long can you tread water? ha ha ha ha ha” -sworsh- -gurgle gurgle gurgle-
Give Luv:

*Bill Cosby moment*
How long… can you tread water?
Poor Noah.

Meh, couldn’t resist adding in my two cents on this page (which most people are probably never going to notice)
Not only does the ceiling lack resistance, but that giant’s greataxe is a great target for a grease spell. As is the druid’s spell component pouch.

Well, I noticed it. ^_~
