May as well just pretend you have members, Ruby - to go with these employees and mascots you haven't signed.

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
I would ask which guy, but I wouldn't like to assume what guy, or girl, Ruby is going to be. She is indeed undergoing, shock, character development, and I don't suppose it's finished yet.Abraxas wrote:Ruby is gonna be THAT guy huh...
That we haven't seen her sign. We have seen Zii go along with her plans, so I'd assume that they've reached some kind of semi-formal agreement between strips, and it'd be trivially easy for her to talk Dillon into the mascot job, so I'm sure that's happened. Formal paperwork is generally too boring to show in-comic; that doesn't mean that Ruby, of all people, hasn't dealt with it.Treader wrote:May as well just pretend you have members, Ruby - to go with these employees and mascots you haven't signed.

No, but the awkward conversation of getting him on-board with the idea seems like strip material.

"Awkward"? Do you actually think that it'd be difficult to talk Dillon into something like this?

Ramona, huh? Well, isn't she cute.
I'm sure that very soon, Ruby will be richer than the Queen of Canada. ;)

Ruby loves money more than she loves yaoi.

Evidence? She's just spent the morning looking at yaoi, and ten seconds shoring up her business plan.
I still think that the money is largely just a way of keeping score for Ruby. What she's actually interested in is success within the system, and through that, respect.

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
It's mostly English words I recognize but it makes no sense to me whatsoever!!!
(I actually know about as much about SW episodes 1-3 as I know about pro wrestling. I think that I'm too old for this shit.)

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
I kind of assume with "SW" you mean "Star Wars", but I'm at a complete loss as to where that came from...

Sorry, I had this idea that "Greedo" was a Star Wars character. In that case, I'm completely lost.

"Greedo" is, but this is "Gweedo" - Guido in proper Italian - but I've no idea what the reference is. Another one who is too old.

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
It's... not a reference. I was just doing a cliche Italian voice (think Mario ) with a cliche Italian name to illustrate Donna Larose and her disappointment at her henchman's lack of respect.
We're all too old for this.
Oh, and Greedo is actually from Episode 4 (known better as "A New Hope" and MUCH better as just "Star Wars"), that one came out when even you were reasonably young, Spi. ;)

Isn't that post-revisionist heresy? Even I know that Han Shot First... (And yes, I did see episode 1, sorry 4, in the cinema, in London, a week or two after its first UK release, back in '78.)
And the problem with trying to use "donna" as the feminine of the Mafioso "don" is that "Donna" is a perfectly good English language name with no Italian accent implied. Plus, if you're going to do a Mafia don, you ought to try and sound like Marlon Brando, not some weaselly putz, capiche?
