Poor Liz. she has gone way past a mere panic attack.
Not calling it per se, but merely wish-casting it: Emily joins the Cubetown staff providing a catalyst to break Liz out of her funk, like they actually end up working well as a team
Oops!
Moray, no
Jesus christ, Moray.
“Quick, catch it, for research purposes!” “We don’t return it?” “Of course not!”
Why, it's the first principle of the scientific method. As Aristotle said: "Dibs, no backsies! Finders keepers, losers weepers! *YOINK*"
Lol nooooooooo, poor Liz. And Emily. Yikes!
This is the start of a new necromancy arc and Jeph will reveal that this has just been The Locked Tomb all along
Cubetown was always destined for necromancy. Marten felt the dark potential before he even arrived. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4929
Upon reflection - Emily is the perfect start to a daisy chain of fun. She seems unflappable …
Oh, Moray. Don’t ever change
But do develop some level of ability to read the room 😅
„yes that‘s right, you can also use me as a punching bag, on account of my non-newtonian fluids“ — Moray, while being viciously fistmurdered by Liz
She can also be used as a stress ball!
omg, okay, Moray AND Liz AND Ayo all need to attend a Boundaries 101 course together..
We need help! Send in Violence! Send in Regret! Send in Ol' Boaty! Send in the Wacky Hijinks Department! Get Yay on the emergency hotline! And send in THE LIBRARIAN!!!
Send for the army! Send for the police! (We are the police.) Someone come and get me I’m disturbing the peace! (That really, really dates me, I fear.)
Oops there goes Another gremlin soul, Oops there goes Another gremlin soul, Oops there goes Another gremlin soul now!
When your soul leaves its bean And a bright side is seen That's a Moray!
OOOH BAAAAAAABYYYYYYY NOOOO
I've been intellectually burnt out for decades. You get used to it.
you would
Uh houston we have a gremlin and it doesn't seem to be working
MORAY WHAT THE HECK
When the slime leaves no doubt And lets your secret out That's a Moray
There's something to be said for finally facing the worst. In Liz's case, the worst is that your terrible secret ... doesn't actually make the incredibly smart woman you just met hate or despise you. Emily still respects you and wants only to help. That just might be reassuring to the gremlin.
Catch her soul? Not a ghost of a chance. (Warning: incoming lame pun...uh, oops, too late.)
I don't think you are showing the right spirit here...
There's the shock for Liz (maybe a hard restart), now comes the support and encouragement from Emily for a reboot to original conditions? Just what she needs?? I can't wait!
So much about ripping off the band-aid, right?
I never metaphysics I didn't like...
I have. Friggin' gravity...
Who else in this strip has been seen with that dying-of-embarrassment expression?
In recent memory, we've seen similar expressions of pupil-dilated panic on Ayo, Liz, Claire, Anh, Emmett, Anh and Anh. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5159 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5203 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5338 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5614 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5768 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5777 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5787
And here we were worried this was going to get awkward, whew!
I wonder if Marten has maximally ridiculous fancy outfits stashed behind the counter.
Well at least we know that Moray doesn't get overly filtered
When you blurt out the truth, and cause Liz to reboot, that's our Moray!
MORAY IS HELPING!
Moray is doing her best. Her best just... isn't very good.
The cat is now exiting the atmosphere.
The cat's name is Artemis II
"Hello Emily. Liz is not home right now as she is currently having an out of body experience as a deer about to be hit by a car. Please feel free to leave a message after the beep and she'll get back to you at her next best convenience. Beeeeep"
😳 Moray, NO!
That soul is headed straight into the nearest gell being.
well we THOUGHT moray was getting more competent
She is, but it's still a very limited supply. Once she uses up her competence reserves she falls back into "well-intentioned ineptitude" mode.
oh man Moray just crashed right through that secret like a bowling ball! a green squishy bowling ball.
Or a Jello-filled Kool-Aid Man.
When your secrets she blabbed Now your soul's getting grabbed That's A Moray!
Oh, that look...poor Liz!!
Don't give her soul to the metaphysics group - they probably want to fillet it.
They aren't even that hard to get, but the occult research team keeps buying out the entire stock at the local Soulmart.
good now emily can fix it lets goooooooooo
Some storyline Emily was perfect for had to have triggered her return and I'm hoping this is it.
When you accidentally Cause a BSOD That's a Moray.
Good one!
And then the mortified Liz murdified Moray. R.I.P. Moray. (edited for more likely outcome)
i think murdifying Moray is the more likely outcome. or, well, trying to but being thwarted by her surprisingly resilient squishiness.
That's a great mortified face
When you try to conceal, But she spills your whole deal, That’s a Moray…
When you're lower than low Then the hit from below Is from Moray...
I don't know about Liz's soul, but her pupils are making a run for it.
Eye noticed that before. (I deserve 20 lashes for that pun.) :)
404: Gremlin not found
C'mon jellygrrrl- let's go for a walk.
An AI who’s got the artificial bit down and locked. Intelligence is still a work in progress.
When your AI tells about your curse That just makes your life even worse … that’s a Moray!
When you say the wrong thing and her eyeballs go *shing* That’s a-Moraaaay!
It's all part of Moray's plan to put Liz in a position where she has to grow by accepting help from others and stop hiding in shame. Moray is the master manipulator.
I’m not completely sure about that.
Moray, no
Honestly, I think Emily will be understanding and trying to get her out of the burnout.
Oh, Moray, you were doing so well…
Well that wasn’t cool of Moray, but is it crazy if I say this will probably result in the best outcome?
I don't think she understood that it was a secret
They don't have FERPA after you finish your PhD. And move to Canada.
