Only In Dreams

Moray is doing her best! :>

Only In Dreams

Comments

She promises not to engage *further* with the eldritch nightmare beings...

Stephen Wells

She did just meet one, apparently.

Clifton Royston

Same here!

Doc Gumby

Right there with ya!

Josh Bacon

Yes, I am sitting here refreshing Patreon on a Saturday night waiting for updates…I’m making good life choices!

Darren Franzen

I’m not sure where the blame is. She informed Moray that her actions, however well intentioned have caused a negative outcome. She also apologised to Moray for being stuck in the middle of this because the Director did not consider the consequences of reaching out to Yay in this manner. She also acknowledged in a tongue-in-cheek way that she has no idea what else Moray may have been instructed to do by the director that could cause problems and told her to go to sleep. I’ve had toxic bosses and unfunny bosses and toxic unfunny bosses, I wish I had bosses like Claire.

Remy!

T'dr'duzk b'hazg t't!

Ursus Ridens

Not sure how Moray recharges -- but I keep imagining that it involves salt water (viz., her), electrodes, and lemons. Or maybe potatoes.

Ursus Ridens

She didn't say 'hypothetical' eldritch nightmare beings. Moray knows of their existence

Damien

When the Eldritch is Yay And they do move away That’s a Moray.

legobil

BAAAAAAH.

joFinndian

Just patiently waiting for a deviate to "rule 34" Moray. It's sexual fantasy 6 or so that you have a lovable naive sexy creature within reach that wants to be accommodating and helpful. ( insert sinister cackle with much hand-washing motions)

Darnel D Cooper

Yes, eels get everywhere if you're not careful. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1298

Clifton Royston

Me also! Let us bathe in His Glory together. 🤩😍

legobil

Agreed, she may have somehow caused a crisis, but she is sorry she is caught in the middle of it. I don't see toxic behaviour.

Carlos

She's not placing blame but Moray needs to understand the gravity of the situation. Our AI friends have a habit of missing the point.

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

or eldritch young ones ...

Joe

So Claire is blaming Moray, even though she was just the messenger? Claire sounds like she'll be a toxic boss at Cubetown.

PostRetroism

Welp, it had a good run, good night everyone.

Comics Ladybird

that makes so much sense. i didn't know you even DID replies in here. am i your favourite? it's ok you can tell me

Boots McGoot

Based on what she ordered at the bar, that makes sense.

Darnel D Cooper

Yeah,.. pintsize has been booted to the minor league with the hash we've been reading lately.

Darnel D Cooper

"I promise not to engage with any eldritch nightmares from the dream realm" Oh so this is how QC ends

Emyriad

Good call with the glasses, Claire. That glabella ain't gonna rub itself.

ValdVin

Gesundheit!

Hugh Eckert

A bed with boundary issues.

Hugh Eckert

Hard to say. Certainly the experience seems to vary. For example Roko has had some extremely vivid dreams, whereas Bubbles never remembers hers and isn't sure if she has them at all. Lemon refers to "subconscious processing routines" that run while in sleep mode, which is presumably the underlying source of AI "dreams". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3848 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3909 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4113

BookBeard

Yay's very first appearance seems relevant here. We'll have to wait and see if Moray wakes up screaming. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3391

BookBeard

Wait, do all the AIs dream?

Marc Tabor

I mean, if I had to choose an apocalypse, that one would probably be near the top of my list.

BookBeard

Add a few more Morays and they could *be* the bed. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5068

BookBeard

Aww, so she's not telepathic? Beeps would have been so excited... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4557

BookBeard

@Jeph ART vibes intensifying tbh

enchantedsleeper

RE: RE: RE: secret message

enchantedsleeper

Ah, but then you wouldn't have had the pleasure of Summoning The Creator :D

enchantedsleeper

Goddammit Jeph - I was *literally* going to write that originally and then changed my mind 😂😂😂

David Durant

The Director also thinks that at least some of their anime is documentaries.

Stephen Wells

If Yay comes back wearing a Freddy glove I'm gonna lose it. :)

Yelling Bird

Email

Jeph Jacques

They watch a lot of anime in their downtime

Jeph Jacques

Because they calculated it'd be one that would best interact with humans and other embodied AIs. Or possibly just because it was funny?

David Durant

I'm not sure I'd call an internet connection "telepathy" but YMMV. Having that kind of instantaneous connection does reopen a lot of questions about their separation from the Director though.

David Durant

Any indistinguishable Eldritch being is an AI nightmare.

legobil

“Done.” So… Moray has telepathic connection to the Director or was it a figure of speech?

legobil

I thought Moray had to be in the middle? How else would they share equally.

legobil

The third diplomatic crisis is negotiating the order of spooning when Moray, Claire and Marten share a bed.

Stephen Wells

would love to know why the director extruded her in that shape

Boots McGoot

If Moray's in the middle than Marten and Claire can each get a pillowboob :)

Stephen Wells

🤣🤣🤣

Andrew Mitchell

I think the actual salute is very quick and snappy but her bosom goes woob woob woob for several minutes thereafter :)

Stephen Wells

Nothing a good night's sleep with Marten and Moray can't fix :)

Stephen Wells

Every night after dark I engage with the Snark in a dreamy delirious fight...

Stephen Wells

Isn't the goo- er, sadness chamber where she recharges?

enchantedsleeper

To be fair, they wound up engaging with her.

Professor Harmless

Now I kinda want a third diplomatic crisis

Bagge

We will figure out something before contacting the director.

Opus the Poet

I recognize that reference!

Opus the Poet

She doesn't need to plug in, at least not as long she has an adequate supply of sunshine and unicorn farts. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5308

BookBeard

Hmmm, well they certainly have some bodies charging while others are in use. If the "brains" of those bodies are still active while charging then I suppose that would mean they dream "in shifts" in some sense. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3418

BookBeard

Moray is powered, as we all know, by sunshine and unicorn farts. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5308

BookBeard

Any sufficiently eldritch AI is indistinguishable from a nightmare.

BookBeard

Oh good, sounds like Dora is roasting a fresh batch of beans. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3349

BookBeard

More like nightmares. You can never be too careful when it comes to eels... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3353

BookBeard

What about Eldritch Daydream Beings

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Hug, hold, squeeze and lick / Darling, I love you to bits / And I want to see your tits. -- Classic Edgar

Barry Callahan

Any sufficiently advanced AI is... indistinguishable from an eldritch nightmare being?

Spike McLarty

They're better than the arcane ones, tbh.

Michael Chui

I don't think she *caused* the trouble, though! She was literally just a messenger.

Graydon Armstrong

I'm pretty sure the tiny fish bottles of soy sauce are worldwide, and unfortunately too many of them end up as litter, so as cute as they are, we can't as a species be trusted with them.

Graydon Armstrong

Do goo girls dream of gelatinous sheep?

Sammitch

Moray: "Oh Claire, I just had a wonderful chat with somebody named Emrakul who really wants to be my friend!"

Will Weaver

I'm guessing that the director did something weird to let Morray do her thing. Maybe she uses advanced photovolatics or phytoplankton or something.

Davus Otho

BookBeard is the reigning champion.

Sean Kinlin

Hello, Moles.

Sean Kinlin

You win this evening's best impromptu lyrics award.

Starlight

I always sort of assumed that moray is clear with dark spots suspended inside her. But looking again it's starting to look like she just has spots?

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Starlight

When the girl made of ooze Settles down for a snooze That's A Moray! When your eldritch nightmare Is forbidden by Claire That's A Moray!

BookBeard

You mean a WONDERFUL Four horsepersons!

Shawn K. Younkin

Anyone here Shub-Niggurath-curious?

William Cole

Do Morays dream of electric eels?

Mad Marie

She siphons off energy from a singularity, a la Alice Grove.

Mad Marie

Add Melon & you've got a terrifying "Four Horsepersons".

William Cole

It's a pretty long list, too 🤣

Aerin Moriarty

Whatever got Pintsize banned from Canada must have been a doozy.

William Cole

When I saw the title in the notification, that's what I half-expected. (Actually, I expected Yay to contact Roko in a dream)

William Cole

Too late!

Andrew Mitchell

Meaning there are, in fact, eldritch nightmare beings from the dream realm.

Populuxe

Please DO let Moray meet Emmett AND Emily! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!

Shawn K. Younkin

God I hope this involves a "breathing" illumination pattern, I wanna see blinkenmoray

Ed Marshall

I feel like Sven would be pretty high up on the list

Green

I am so worried about her tbh

Green

Safe dreams for all!

Paul Johnson

I prefer dreaming about a vampire in a limousine >.>

Joe Bocanegra

Are there even.....no, I better not finish that sentence.

Shaodyn

Does Moray....Need to sleep? Or rather, does she even need to be recharged? Can she just Go On forever until she changes her mind?? Other AIs tend to go into sleep mode while charging, but we also know they don't Have to sleep to charge, though it does make the process go faster. But as usual, Moray works on such a different level - she doesn't appear to need to plug into something and with her goo chamber bath thing, I didn't read that as "sleeping" more like... a full body hydration kinda deal. Keep all the goo to be goo-ing. There also was the time High Claire pranked Sober Claire by having Moray sleep in their bed, but she was awake by the time Claire was, so it is possible she didn't "need" to sleep/recharge. (I can see Moray being too excited to shut down if it wasn't necessary.) And this is purely mechanical, I know there are a lot of reasons To enjoy sleeping even if it's not necessary at the moment.

Green

You may be disturbed, but I'm not surprised. :D

Joshua O'Madadhain

i'm guessing photosynthesis via phytoplankton in her jelly

Logan Nix

More polycules please! 🤘🙂🤘🖤💜💕

Carrie

I think Claire the Librarian is my new favorite character. I am also kind of disturbed by how similar our lives are looking.

Yonatan Zunger

With special guests Eldritch Horror and Bandroids Dream of Electric Peeps

Ron Conescu

And potentially Yay, if it occurs to them to pop in and ask clarifying questions.

Katrina Urmson

Moray wait What if the eldritch nightmare being is hot tho

Fart Captor

What about eldritch nightmare beings that *aren't* from the dream realm?

Captain Button

Author's note: Avoid Electric Sheep, sure, but were not warned about Electric Dreams jokes. I take that as an invitation.

ValdVin

I thought this was going to be Roko having a sad cry missing Yay...

Drazi

Giving Yay's paranoia, I imagine they sleep in shifts. So they just dream of.. what the other them is doing? God multi-embodied AI are neat.

Rhyon Ingalls

The director is just so alien that it has no real way of understanding things on a human level, that doesn't make it a nightmare being. It also means it has no concept of things like subterfuge, hence all the hoopla

Rhyon Ingalls

Please don’t let Moray meet Emmett. They could ruin curling, hockey, and figure skating forever.

Miyaa

An "Aussie Brekkie" is just Vegemite on toast. Fair dinkum!

BobC

She sits on a wireless charging pad.

Czarzhan

Roko is OK, she seems like a much slower burner than Yay. Like it'll take a few days w/o word (or w/ something else bad happening) before she gets too upset. But we all need to hear from Yay 😔

Pejo

Aside from the director of course.

FuzzyDragon Cosplay

Poor Claire. Glasses off for stress reasons twice in a single exchange.

Sean Kinlin

Next week: Steve gets breakfast in Australia (I don’t know what qualifies as authentic Australian breakfast cuisine, but their soy sauce is poured from a tiny fish shaped bottle and I am more than slightly jealous at that) and bumps into the newest purple Wiggle who is so hot, he needs Steve’s help to keep the moms away from him.

Miyaa

Also, Bubbles and the Solid AIs is the name of my new doo-wop group.

Sean Kinlin

Probably uses wireless charging.

awgiedawgie

But not, one supposes, from the dream realm

Todd Ellner

Trouble comes of threes! Come on Moray! You can do it, I believe in you!

Shawn K. Younkin

I don't know if I'd call Claire "eldritch". Nightmare, maybe. ... oh, wait... you meant the Director.

awgiedawgie

I'm having a hard time deciding which QC character has caused the MOST trouble overall, but Moray def has the record for Most Trouble Caused in 12 Hours, I think.

Aerin Moriarty

Completely different paradigm.

Todd Ellner

Alternate joke: Well, her real boss is Claire, so... actually, still yes

Adarsh Nednur

The scary thing is that she is serious

Todd Ellner

Yes, and she won't interact with them in her sleep; she's off the clock, and work-life balance is important

Adarsh Nednur

Maybe she is her own saltwater battery?

Sean Kinlin

Mmm! Dream lamb.

Andrea Andrew

Apparently, she dreams of the many-angled ones.

Tannerbot

once upon a time in dreamworld a squish being had an innocent conversation with the future leader of a rebel movement and well...

Brendan Luster

Whoever guessed Eldritch monsters gets a 👍

Woodys Woods

I wonder how Moray plugs in for recharge, like Bubbles and the solid AIs?

Sleepy John

The way she says this tells me that has happened before.

Tannerbot

But... isn't Moray's boss an eldritch nightmare being?

Moray saluting Claire is NEVER going to grow old.

I need to know if Yay is okay, I need to know if Roko is okay

chili sunrise

When you fall fast asleep, just to count eldritch sheep, that's a Moray.

Doc Gumby

Please, don't dream of aetheric old ones, Moray.

EC Duke

Yay are gonna be waiting there when Moray falls asleep, aren't they?

Bill Silvia

Or the best.

Amy ☣

Does Yay dream of eldritch sheep?

Daniel Burnett
