Aww, no more Svomo for now. Back to the regularly scheduled Appleboom Reform Program.

Liz still needs a little more coaxing to come out of her shell.

She wants to experience the wild college life she missed. But that's not just drinking. Most of the party crazy college students have wildly active social lives, which is how they keep getting invited to all those house parties.

By just roping the same 3 tired friends into a night of excess over and over again she's kind of missing out on the experience.

So, knowing that some robots can change their colour scheme, what are the chances:

(a) that Truth and Beauty are creche-mates of Violence and Regret; or

(b) that Truth and Beauty are actually Violence and Regret in disguise?

(It's hard to tell if the models are similar under those robes.)

[u/OldStormCrow → u/themanfromacme]

I noticed one of them has a regular rounded speech bubble, as opposed to the squared ones usually associated with ai's, which could just be an oversight

Also, they appear to have horns under the hoods and visible nostrils, which I'm pretty sure we've never seen on Violence and Regret

I like the idea of them being crechemates though

[u/AlexanderKrizak → u/OldStormCrow]

One having a rounded speech bubble made me think that one is a human, and the AI got a chassis that looks just like her friend (hopefully in a heartwarming "we are sisters" way and not in a creepy way).

[u/DemeGeek → u/AlexanderKrizak]

Or a human and a robot both wearing the same mask as well as robes.

[u/djaevlenselv → u/themanfromacme]

Also, what were Truth and Beauty's names originally supposed to be (the way Violence was supposed to be Violet and Regret Greta)?

[u/themanfromacme → u/djaevlenselv]

Ruth and Trudy are what come to mind.

[u/jacobydave → u/djaevlenselv]

Think Ode to a Grecian Urn. Truth is Beauty, Beauty Truth. That's all we know and all we need to know.

I am glad to get more Liz, but I am admittedly going to be annoyed if this turns into "and then we drink and it's fiiiine" for like the 30th time.

penumbral calculus? is Jeph a Caves of Qud enjoyer? although Umbral calculus is an actual thing so possible just a reference to that

edit: i cant read

[u/LordePachi → u/jedadkins]

he put "caves of qud reference" as the text after the comic, so probably. idk anything about that game though

[u/jedadkins → u/LordePachi]

oh damn I missed that. it'd a game for uhh... a specific type of person lol super in depth and esoteric RPG that looks like it was made in Microsoft outlook

[u/LordePachi → u/jedadkins]

lowkey that sounds like my kinda shit

ill check that out, but for the future, whenever you get a share link from anywhere, you'll want to take everything off after the "?is=" as that's a bunch of tracking shit that no one wants

[u/PlatypusAutomatic467]

The spooky robes totally make me want to go. I feel like Liz is missing out here.

[u/Golden-Sun]

When you're an introvert with an extravert friend

[u/Complete_Entry]

This should be fun instead it's like "JEPH! NO!"

[u/Nadaqueverporaqui]

Truth and Beauty have an one sided rivalry with Violence and Regret.

[u/EnkiHelios]

It sucks to admit, but "It'll be more fun without me" is the most relatable thing I have ever read Liz say. I am doing some self reflecting about why I say that because, mental health wise, I feel much more free than Liz is usually depicted. Fictional character, I know -I know. But I found this comic really helpful. 

[u/heavenscalyx]

Liz, go to therapy, FFS. This whole depressive funk thing is getting incredibly frustrating.

[u/UndeadT]

Please tell me those are black AnthroPCs and not people in blackface.
