maybe Kath should have spoken to Alisin too

Poor Rumy. Now she's going to start hating women too... of course, she already hates Alisin, as she tried to say herself, but that doesn't seem to have registered with Ms. Worthington.This looks bad for everyone involved. Really bad. At this point the best thing that can happen is for Will or someone else to come along and break things up.Of course, it's more likely that a cop will find them - sprawled out on the sidewalk, passed out in each others' arms and half out of their clothes - and throw them both in the drunk tank... and everyone will know what happened... oh, my stars and garters. Poor Rumy. Poor Alisin. Poor Rikk.Of course, poor Will for kissing Stu, but he knew what he was getting into at the time. I won't say 'poor Stu', because, hey, he got to kiss Will, and that's better than he deserves. Tim's gonna be so jealous.

Oh no, T isn't going to trick me into assuming ANYTHING, fool me 10 times shame on you, fool me 11 times shame on me.But if we are to talk in the hypothetical, that I have no problem with:I disagree with "poor Alisin." I have no sympathy for Ailisn. She has been going out to clubs and parties for a long time, and getting drunk and drugged up at, I would say, 95% of these parties. Now if some drunken lesbianism is, hypothetically, to happen, then Alisin is in the wrong. Because after all this time she should be able to handle herself at some lame frat party, thus anything she does can be considered her doing what she wants. Now, let's say she couldn't handle herself, and she is dead drunk, then I am sure this isn't the only time something like this has happen, and therefore it can be reasonably assumed that she has cheated on Rikk numerous times. So again, her going someplace and still getting drunk, knowing something like that could happen, removes "poor Alisin."Unless

SOMETHING has to happen, whether it be actual or simply a misunderstanding. There is really no other reason for Alisin and Rumi to both be at the party. Alisin could party anywhere, and so far there hasn't been anything to really justify her being at this particular party (there is no way it is the only party if rush is on).And Rik's comment about trust a few days ago is just too loaded. I agree with everyone; as long as something happens, whatever it is will be ugly. I can only hope that things work out in the end. I already feel too sorry for all the hardships Rumi's been through, and I think Rik and Alisin complement each other too well to like seeing that far apart. Here's hoping.------------------

I'm not sure what Alisin is planning, but I'm not sure where Rumy's head is right now, either. I only know that Alisin has little interest in bring harm to either Rikk or Rumy, but I'm not sure that she'd view this as harmful. Still, in light of the misunderstandings we've seen before this (mostly involving Will in some fashion, however), I think we're due one at least one more. And doesn't the whole departure scene seem like a fraternity definition of Hell? Women show up, drink your beer, pair up with each other, and leave without even so much as an invitation to watch. (I may not see the appeal, but I'm sure some of the guys there may have viewed it as a "consolation prize" of sorts.)

I must say, normally I'd love to see even implied lesbian sex in any storytelling medium. It is a testament to how much I care about Rumy (in a plutonic way) to fervantly wish this doesn't happen here.------------------

EWHPTIV · Post by **EWHPTIV** » Tue Dec 11, 2001 7:39 am

I'm probably just voicing a theory that many hold, so...Alisin can hold her likker, we know that. No problem with a six-pack or even a six-pack of six-packs. A few bottles of something weak isn't going to even faze her much. Rumy, on the other hand, gets a case of the giggles when she so much as looks at a wine spritzer. So, best guess, Rumy, who still wants revenge of some sort against Rikk, will half-consciously attempt to seduce Alisin, or something similar, while Alisin, who's still in control of whatever wits she's got left, will realize what's going on and leave Rumy on a park bench somewhere with a sign saying 'Do Not Disturb' hanging on her nose.Kind of a letdown for those desiring fanservice, and this is only going to be current for all of fifteen minutes, after which I'll either be hailed as a visionary or run out on a rail, but oh well.------------------

I believe they are called "Platonic" relationships... even though plutonic could fit in a way... (Boom!!) <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> Actually, aside from this previously told joke (originally posted by Symok), I'm here to say that Today's strip (12 of december) has drastically changed the opinion I had on Alisin. I'm not all that fond of her (reminds me of my x-girlfriend and her view of life collides with mine), but as the time has gone by, I've known more about her: her childhood, her sickness, her "marriage" with Rikk... In a way, I was afraid she would affect Rikk for the worse (as it happened to me in my previous relationship), but I'm glad to see now the way she feels about Rikk. She has gone through a lot (she went to church and survived meeting Rikk's parents!), and even though she still has a carefree attitude and untraditional social behaviour, now I believe she has matured more. I want to congratulate T for his ability to portrait his characters as if they were real people... maybe thats why we fans of Faans! feel so... well, close to them. In a way, they are real for us... we care about them, distrust them (*cough*cough* Stu!*cough*)and see them growing up as any of us does. Maturing for Alisin has become changing herself... even a small part of her, for the love of the one man that has put all his trust on her. I'm happy to see this. I felt she would cheat on Rikk if she had the chance, but I'm more than glad to be wrong and for once, see the real Alisin beneath the makeup and the dark clothes. Now, I wonder why was Rumy laughing?? Ah... the possibilities... I, for once, will sit back calmly and wait for the next strip of this wonderful webcomic with patience...

And here I always thought that a Plutonic relationship is one that made you feel as if you were dead. Or perhaps one that made you wish you were. It brings a whole new meaning to the term 'Underworld connections'.Just don't eat the pomegranate seeds.

As opposed to a Platonic relationship, such as the tetrahedron, the octohedron, the... oh, dear, I seem to be confused again. Actually, I think that Platonic relationships had something to do with the perfect city-state ruled by philosophers, but that's silly; most philosophers I've known couldn't keep a sock drawer straightened, never mind run a perfectly harmonious society. I think I've gotten things a little mixed up there, but that's OK, I'm a philosopher myself and thus have an excuse for such behavior.------------------
