Well of Souls Forums

Our strategic Wunderkind has done it once again:

(comic-image in spoiler for size)
So, the pilots do like to banter. ("Tail-Wag!")
Let's see how the next round(s) go for Alex.


And I wonder what Tempo will think of Alex once she finds out what Alex asked and which answers he got under which circumstances.
He is a well trained Mizol!

Well, Spiral's insults are as wrong as they are hilarious.

I mean 'tail wag'? 'Cheater', 'Plunger'? She shouldn't insult someone in a language she doesn't know well

I do like she uses the spoken language for Alex' benefit though.

Usually, when doing banter, you fall back into learned behaviours, in this case I would expect them doing this telepathically.


The "tail-wag!" comment makes me wonder if Loroi have a rudimentary tail-remnant, which they can wag if they're happy.
Then it would be a comment from Spiral about how happy she is that her colleague lost....

"Plunger" sounds like someone who's clumsy on a boat.

Well, tail wag as an expression of joy is interesting.. since Loroi have no tails.
I assume the nearest translation is "butt wiggle"!



It brings a warmth to my heart that the Loroi have this expression of happiness.

Spiral is insulting her fellow Tenoin in Trade, you know.

"Tail-wag" makes me hope that Loroi have dogs! Everyone deserves to have dogs

In other news: I don't think I can cope with so many pages being released so quickly

Playful insults could be a form of aggression and therefore fall under spoken language.
These insults also feel very harmless, very juvenile. Do you think that's Talon and Spirals age or our lack of cultural context?

Also, I applaud you, Arioch. I've been reading your comic for ~17 years and bottom left is the first panel that managed to cast raise dead on my pantsyard.

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere she isn't good in Trade?

Kinda knew that about Talon already, though this is rather more playful than the invective she threw at Clearbrook on page 131.

Guessing they will be interrupted, but maybe! He is supposed to be very good with tactics so probably will do better than the young pilots here.

Probably decides she's going to need help keeping an eye on Alex. Maybe that's where Red comes in?

Honestly, 'Seed-head' and 'Tail-wag' sound like the kind of nicknames they probably had from back in their training band days.

hi hi

I really love these two. They just seem so jovial, it's hard not to smile.

Also, "Seed head?" Did she just get called an epithet for a Barsam? Eating Nagen seed pods?

I think 'Tail-Wag' is meant to refer to wiggling, yes your posterior... very likely in a sexual enticement to gain the attention of a male.
'Seed-Head' is also a {ahem} potentially sexual connotation for oral sex with a male. 'Plunger'... there are so many mentally kinky sexual connotations to that as well.

...yes I'm from There, and we DO house calls.

You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the coomers, not join them! Bring realism to Outsider, not leave it in wank-stains! You were my brother, Werra! I loved you!

Eh..can you blame him? The Darkside has cookies... and he Got the Girl! Got the kids to prove it too...what are a few volcanic burns along the way!

Double thumbs up

I wonder how many years we've been in chapter 2? Good to see the human win against the mighty Loroi in this game also yeah that is sound logic in this forever war.
