I think the comic itself fluctuates between R and PG-13 depending on what is and is not censored/concealed. (Impy, are you reading this? Please enlighten us if you can. I confess to wondering how that scene in Chapter 10 is handled in the printed world; strikes me that it would be hard to instill PG-ness into that one...) However, one of the original rules of Errant Road, which is not the comic, is that explicit sex should be avoided in a "fade to black" way. The interpretation of that is probably in the eye of the beholder, but I personally see absolutely zero problem with anything that's happened in any of the threads. There've been several fade-to-black moments, essentially all of them handled in exactly the same way that Drannin did, but that's all. It's all good, IMO. /OOC:]Porcelain Fish wrote:[OOC: Nah. We're all adults here Drannin. The comic is probably R-Rated or close to it anyway. Sarine's exposition of human uses to elves comes to mind. /:OOC]
Sister Rose's head spun, as she tried to sort out who was protecting whom from what (in whose opinion) and why and how. Argus had mentioned something way back in Nautkia about the place having "more intrigues than a Tsuirakuan business salon," and while Rose had never been to a Tsuirakuan business salon (for which she was increasingly grateful), it was clear that Maduin moved in circles like that ... so intrigues would be second nature to him. Still, there were limits. "I don't think the elf trailing Lillith has found us," she said. "Don't tell Lillith what I'm about to say ... I heard Drusia speaking elvish to someone way out there last night, but when I talked to her about it, she said not to worry, it wasn't a half-elf hunter. She didn't say exactly what this other elf was, but I think we can trust her on things like that." We have to.
It sounded like Argus and Drusia were coming back from their private conversation, so her opportunity to further understand Maduin's distress was coming to a close. Besides, there was something that had to be done. "I think we'd better bury that other body before Brad and the girls come back," she said. "Maybe Argus can conjure something to help, but we'd better get with it. Having it still there when Kim gets here might be ... unfortunate." Did a Tsuirakuan really need anything more blunt than that?
