(But please Fred, let Piro accept Kimiko's "invitation", give us nice guys a faint ray of hope.

I have a lot of confidence in Fred lately, however with the trepidation about the SFW rating of the current strip, I can't see the next one being anything more racy. It's going to be all clouds of steam and speech bubbles conveniently covering things
If said event occurs, I don't think we'll see it. I give you two authors, describing the same event from opposite directions.GreyWolfe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:25 pmI have a lot of confidence in Fred lately, however with the trepidation about the SFW rating of the current strip, I can't see the next one being anything more racy.

That is, unless he scene switches back to Pingko.
I won't blame you if you ban me for this (please make it temporary), but: Would you compare him to the Rock of Gibraltar, a tower of strength, or perhaps a pillar of iron?Invisigoth wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:21 pmI should like to point out that Piro is in fact remarkably composed and in control despite the fact that Kimi is really pushing all his buttons. She is sensual, sexy and extremely desirable
A beautiful woman
Piro is composed and while no James Bond he's got matters in hand and he will be making any important decisions rationally, not a slave to his raging hormones.
A real man.
I'm sure that in time he can revert to being the waffling, annoying geek we all love to hate but at the moment his true colors show through.
I refer you to 296. Specifically panel three.Liminaut wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:36 pmYou know, we really know almost nothing about Piro, especially his sexuality. Most posters, including myself, have been making a lot of assumptions. The truth is almost anything is possible for Piro.
For instance, I've known several men that didn't want to have sex until marriage, and turned down invitations. Typically these men were very up front about their sexuality, though. Piro is being anything but up front. This in fact is the primary vibe I've been getting from this scene: whatever is going on with Piro, he doesn't have the self-awareness or language to express it.
He may be feeling that he's still in love with Miho. But since there is no formal declaration yet, having a bit of fun is not out of the question (I know a couple that was on-again,off-again for a bit and happily played the field in the off stages. They are married with kids now). One of the possibilities is that Piro has gotten himself impossibly wound up as to how the fist time has to be "right", with an impossibly high standard for what right is.
He might be highly closeted gay, he might be closeted asexual, he might be trans and still discovering it. Since Piro is named after a pet cat, he might have been fixed.
Except he's not making any decisions. He's going along,but neither enthusiastically participating nor telling Kimiko action time is off. And he's looking like a deer in headlights, not that composed.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:21 pmI should like to point out that Piro is in fact remarkably composed and in control despite the fact that Kimi is really pushing all his buttons.

I'll see your 296:3, and raise you a 79:2. (^_~)
Doing anything more than heavy petting in the shower is pretty much impossible without some 'assistance'. The movies make it out to be far, far less awkward than it is in realityYl33 D4 N00b wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 10:22 pmKinda hard to get all steamy in the shower when the water is supposed to be ice cold(of course, the warming up comes afterward)....![]()
The problem here is that Fred is determined that Piro should never 'win' in MT, whilst Kimiko is having other ideas about it.
Welcome to "romantic tension".
I think Kimiko's romantic tension is giving Fred a different kind of tension... headaches.
It's been said somewhere in comments a few strips ago, that Kimiko is a '"boss level" in the game'... While this may be deliberate misinformation - in broader sense, Piro the player, will have to 'win' with Kimiko, to move forward in the game. In some sense he already is winning (he's going to get the Lockart job, work on Kotone together with her; even if only for some short-term situational happiness (Piro still intends to make the money and fly back to the 'States); What life would he want to go back to in the 'states anyway? away from the beating heart of manga, jobless (maybe for short but still - EDIT: well he'll probably have better prospects in the art departments after landing the Lockart job, than in the IT industry - remember it's still 2001 there, the stock bubble of the '00s either has already started to burst, or will be burst... by Dom's pulling Sega under

Given that the subject is sex, it's really hard to see this and stay good.GreyWolfe wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:02 amThis is Japan dude, everything is tiny.Teddy-Werebear wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:41 amSez you!
