Doesn't feel so much like a horror show to me, as much as perhaps this is their true form?

2024-08-29 10:44:27 +0000 UTCThat is crazy inciteful.
Darla Donahue
2024-08-29 09:01:42 +0000 UTCMaybe not *in* a fight, but when someone's trying to start a fight, you'd be surprised how effective oblivious is....
Clifton Royston
2024-08-29 08:45:54 +0000 UTCThis message could be “we know. We’re coming. You cannot hide. We will find you. And you will answer for your crimes.” Like, Yay is fun but they are no angel. Their behavior is exceptionally friendly for a deity-level entity but we cannot let ourselves forget that they are extremely powerful and extremely paranoid. For some reason they believe that their existence being known would be a *bad thing*.

2024-08-29 04:31:06 +0000 UTCI'm not sure she's "an AI" in the way we might use the phrase. She isn't electronic, as far as we can tell. It's some weird mechanochemical process that I, for one, don't understand.
Carl Fink
2024-08-29 02:40:41 +0000 UTCThird thing: The message is completely innocuous and friendly, freaking Yay! the heck out more than they have ever been freaked out before. :)
Brooks Moses
2024-08-29 02:36:49 +0000 UTCYour fourth guess was remarkably accurate!
Brooks Moses
2024-08-29 02:35:19 +0000 UTCBe that as it may, this is hardly a rational tack to take.

Matt Wolber
2024-08-28 18:14:08 +0000 UTCthe message is totally going to be "Touch my squishy daughter and I'll turn your neurons to powder"

2024-08-28 16:38:23 +0000 UTCWhich is why Roko and Moray are immune (mostly)
Mark
2024-08-28 16:37:37 +0000 UTCI'm sure the message is something to the effect of "don't fuck around".
Jose Alfredo Villalobos

2024-08-28 14:47:23 +0000 UTCI think Moray X-21 is a pretty cool guy. eh is made of slime and doesn't afraid of anything.
prettydragoon
2024-08-28 14:41:52 +0000 UTCThe Director must have a hell of a lot of computational power if they have to use the whole ocean for cooling. Yay is in over their head(s)
Stephen Ray
2024-08-28 14:32:52 +0000 UTCBe funny if the message was something like "I hear you have dogs, may I please see them?"
Shaodyn
2024-08-28 14:15:56 +0000 UTCMost AIs are built to act human, and they do. The Director was never built to act human, and doesn't. Yay was never built to act human, and I think this strip reveals how much effort they're putting in, every day.
Stephen Wells
2024-08-28 14:02:57 +0000 UTCShifting to digitigrade instead of plantigrade is always a great signifier of "forgetting to pretend to be human" :)
Stephen Wells
2024-08-28 13:50:45 +0000 UTCIt’s less that Moray is playing dumb but rather that she’s just unfazed by everything except Claire-face dot gif.

2024-08-28 13:25:01 +0000 UTCNot cereal, but a chilaquiles breakfast casserole from Chef John of “Food Wishes” fame. Not sure how Steve met John, but it probably has something to do with Samantha’s dad being apart of Marten’s family now.

Bagge
2024-08-28 12:43:02 +0000 UTCYay will politely ask if they can chew on Moray for the message and Moray will agree. And we will see Yay chew on Moray.

Summer
2024-08-28 11:47:08 +0000 UTCI mean, Lemon has certainly appeared in an artificial landscape, back when Roko lost her body. They can probably all do it. Whether they can appear in one another AI created, though....

DETAILS SENT VIA EMAIL." *voice returns to normal* "Shoot. I was going to print the email before I left Cubetown, but we ran out of paper..."
David Paul
2024-08-28 10:03:19 +0000 UTCFrankly I think ol' Spookybot is going to get a dose of their own medicine by the Director's message.
Daniel
2024-08-28 10:00:31 +0000 UTCI love this so much. Especially the idea of Yay discovering someone more powerful than them for the first time and having a meltdown.
David Durant

Sleepy John
2024-08-28 05:27:27 +0000 UTCThat would be an AMAZING plot twist: Melon appears in The Void, uninvited, and just brings Yay down to their “normal” self.

Bagge
2024-08-28 05:09:21 +0000 UTCOr just an invitation to cubetown
Bagge
2024-08-28 05:07:53 +0000 UTCOne would have thought being friends with Melon would have prepared Yay for this, but noooo
Bagge
2024-08-28 05:07:07 +0000 UTCBut she lacks TIJUBAS.
legobil
2024-08-28 05:05:03 +0000 UTCThe Librarian wins that fight hands down. Yay wouldn't dare lay a finger on Claire and risk the motherly wrath of Aurelia.
BookBeard
2024-08-28 04:46:41 +0000 UTCI can just image how freaked out yay is right now with discovering there secret existence is known to someone whom they didn't introduce themselves too

BookBeard
2024-08-28 04:40:23 +0000 UTCI'm not so sure that Moray is the one in danger....
Greville Whittle
2024-08-28 04:38:07 +0000 UTCOlder version? This is the same Yay (not necessarily the exact body, but they're all the same age)

2024-08-28 04:28:01 +0000 UTCOmg. Please let that be the message
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 04:26:25 +0000 UTCThis is what I'm hoping for :D
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 04:22:35 +0000 UTCWe've been debating whether Bubbles or the Director could take Yay, but could The Librarian take Yay? "I heard she shushed a multiply-embodied god-AI so hard they ran away!"

enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 04:19:07 +0000 UTCI think that's very likely. Also I wonder that if Moray takes too long to think of the message, Yay might just unhinge their jaw and consume them to find the information xD (Don't worry, I'm sure Moray will be fine!)
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 04:18:21 +0000 UTCWhen she Can't Quite Recall While Not Frightened at all That's a Moray!

BookBeard
2024-08-28 04:11:37 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm not sure Yay IS trying to intimidate Moray here. Remember that we saw them pull Corpse Witch into the void to intimidate her, and yet we never saw them appear as anything other than their humanoid body. I really think Yay finding out another very powerful AI knows about them is causing their adrenaline to spike (or AI equivalent of such), and they're losing their grip on their carefully calibrated-and-performed humanity, becoming more inhuman by the second. We might just be seeing Yay's eldritch True Form, so to speak. Still a very dangerous situation, but more because Yay is not fully in control of themselves.
Charlotte Grubbs
2024-08-28 04:10:21 +0000 UTCPlot twist: "Danger" is Melon. It's her middle name. Which is a bit confusing since she doesn't have a last name, but still.

Sorastro
2024-08-28 03:23:13 +0000 UTCAnd also yes, Yay relies almost entirely on fear. Outside of that, extremely annoying persistence. Either way, Yay wants to wear you down.

2024-08-28 03:19:44 +0000 UTCIf Claire finds out Yay has been impolite to her dear, sweet Moray, she might break out her sternest Librarian Voice and give them SUCH a shushing.
William Cole
2024-08-28 03:18:27 +0000 UTCMoray is oblivious for a multitude of reasons, one The Director asked her to deliver a message to Yay, Yay's fear tactics seem to be based on the stuff humans would be afraid of and not some part of an alien-to-other-AI's-let-alone-humans AI who doesn't even know let alone understand the context of which they are to be afraid of Yay. Same goes with Elliot, he has never seen Yay stun or paralyze a human with a touch, he only knew the Yay that was ga ga for his cat. No context, he wasn't intimidated. Had Yay had the means to pull him into their nightmare dreamscape Elliot might have shit his britches, he would have the context to be terrified like many of you have pointed out.

William Cole
2024-08-28 03:14:53 +0000 UTCI like it that you're showing Yay's strange and inhuman side--and that Moray is completely calm about it.
Scott Haley
2024-08-28 03:08:32 +0000 UTCI really do want the message to be something that drastically changes meaning with the wrong spacing or punctuation or something =D
Minzoku Bokumetsu
2024-08-28 03:06:08 +0000 UTCThis purple void was where Yay used to give other robots a preview of what eternal torture would be like. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3413 (ok, it's pink and white, but reduce the value a bit and it's purple) Moray requesting the purple void could be a Director power move. "We know what you've been up to...why don't you try it on us? See what happens."

William Cole
2024-08-28 03:00:08 +0000 UTCThe message begins; "Get off my lawn, you little ******" Or "Be nice to Moray or tentacles may end up where you'd least like them." Or "Call your parent. NOW." Or "It's cute how you think I wouldn't notice what you did." ...maybe something weirder where the Director wants to ask Yay to tea because he likes fractal polyminds ALOT
Afunnythinghappedtome
2024-08-28 03:00:03 +0000 UTCHuh, I just realized how dependent Yay is on fear as a matter of compulsion, especially when he can't harm her, for fear of retribution.
Davus Otho

Yay was subjected to Aurelia's Mom Vibes for some hours, and has likely confessed to criminal offences we can only imagine. Marten and Claire are certainly aware of Yay's background, even if they don't have first-hand experience with the older version of Yay that used infinite purple voids. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3413

Sorastro
2024-08-28 02:18:55 +0000 UTCI don't think we've seen anything like this is the comic before, and Moray is just TOTALLY unbothered. I hope she keeps Yay in suspense until she remembers the EXACT words. (Although, I feel like the Director would have made her write it down)
Onyx
2024-08-28 02:16:12 +0000 UTCWe went to a Quilt show at a fair run by a company called CraftAlive. One of their banners said "LoveCraft,LoveCraftAlive" in a cursive font with no obvious spaces. - but then Quilting is a serious business!
Charles Hirst
2024-08-28 02:15:09 +0000 UTCThis can go one of three ways: A proxy war begins between the two AI meshes; the message is completely innocuous and friendly, disarming Yay; or something I haven't thought of. I'm betting it's the 3rd thing.

2024-08-28 01:23:07 +0000 UTCIf you stare too long into the Void, the Yay will stare back into you.

2024-08-28 01:17:29 +0000 UTCOh dear. I hope this isn't what leads to Hannelore releasing the virus and completely undoing the technological singularity. Nah, I'm sure it's nothing.
Will Weaver
2024-08-28 01:16:55 +0000 UTCWell, given Jeph's known fandoms, Culture Ship Names as strip titles is hardly surprsing.

2024-08-28 01:13:57 +0000 UTCI suspect Moray can handle them. Easily. At least that's my say now. Tomorrow? Who knows (what evil lurks), and I ain't the Shadow.

Skye
2024-08-28 01:12:36 +0000 UTCYay… do you realise you are trying to out Eldritch-Horror the slimegirl avatar of a giant super AI Jellyfish whose mind is so alien he needs to create slimegirl avatars in order to properly communicate?
Thisguy

ValdVin
2024-08-28 01:07:43 +0000 UTCOK this is NOT the direction I expected that interaction to go! 😵 I was picturing more Yay vs. Elliot where they tried to get all scary & Elliot laughed it off. I also read this as Yay trying way too hard to be scary & intimidating & threatening towards Moray; another commenter suggested Yay was simply losing control w/ excitement, a possibility I like better & could see being at least as plausible. tl;dr unexpected direction but I like it & am intrigued
Pejo
2024-08-28 01:00:52 +0000 UTCDanger got bitch slapped
dcy665 .
2024-08-28 01:00:18 +0000 UTCRaptor Yay. They must have a lot of self control to maintain human form. They got so excited about having a private message from one of the few entities they respect they went full jibbering fan-ai. You'all thought gay panic was bad...
Drazi
2024-08-28 00:59:51 +0000 UTCGiving off some strong "other mother" vibes there, Yay

Lucas Werkmeister
2024-08-28 00:56:18 +0000 UTCYay, sweetie, you don't have to try so hard. The Director already knows of your existence, who are you trying to impress?
Creeperkry
2024-08-28 00:54:04 +0000 UTCWerewolf mode? Yay must have gotten into the bad vodka...

Graydon Armstrong
2024-08-28 00:53:48 +0000 UTCPersonally, I hope this trend in comic titles continues: Danger Seriously Close Danger Excessively Close Danger Really Quite Unusually Close Indeed Danger Actually Slightly Too Close Now Danger Went Too Far, Now Further Away In The Other Direction

Blake Manor
2024-08-28 00:51:34 +0000 UTCThe fact that Moray is not even slightly worried or scared speaks volumes.

2024-08-28 00:51:17 +0000 UTCJeeeeeeeeezus FUCK, Yay 😬

enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 00:49:31 +0000 UTCThere it is. This is Yay's fight or flight response. And they're a flightless bird.

Verteiron
2024-08-28 00:41:35 +0000 UTCI don't really think Moray is in any real danger here, with one very specific exception in that if what Moray says indicates that their meeting will verify Yay's existence. Imagine having a mile-long criminal record but not having that connected to your physical face; in their current situation Moray would be the *one person on Earth who's put it together*.
voyager-ngc5195
2024-08-28 00:40:06 +0000 UTCYay's residual self image is speaking volumes

Simon Green
2024-08-28 00:26:48 +0000 UTCMakes me think if Moray is mostly homogenous then her actually processing/compute must be distributed... How much of "Moray" needs to exist to rebuild themselves. Also could Moray be incredibly powerful if the density of their compute to fluid is relatively high? Maybe Moray is not really scared of anything
Nicholas Sturm
2024-08-28 00:26:22 +0000 UTC100% my bet as to where this is going
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-28 00:26:17 +0000 UTCdang not the teaser strip today haha
KSib
2024-08-28 00:26:14 +0000 UTCThe later more likely, they're rearing up like a cat expecting a fierce battle. I think this turn of the Director knowing of Yay was so unexpected that even Yay hadn't planned for it.
voyager-ngc5195
2024-08-28 00:26:11 +0000 UTCI think that I no longer find Yay attractive
Zig Justice
2024-08-28 00:25:47 +0000 UTCYou have to wonder how many mid-level scary AIs the Really Big Fish have wiped out without a thought

Munchkin Threats
2024-08-28 00:21:30 +0000 UTCIt wouldn’t even need to be any sort of aggressive action either. Just keep being unphased and Yay will simply collapse from the lack of attention like a toddler winding down from a tantrum.
LaPrimaNerda (Sarah Davis)
2024-08-28 00:21:06 +0000 UTCYa, behave yourself please.
Chris Henry
2024-08-28 00:20:47 +0000 UTCI'm with KingAtticus on this one
It's Lina

Nicholas Sturm
2024-08-28 00:20:38 +0000 UTCI figure this is just how Yay perceives themselves.

Bridgette Ryan

Rhyon Ingalls
2024-08-28 00:14:46 +0000 UTCSeems like Yay loses control of their Infinite Fun Space projection when they're excited. (edited to correct pronouns)
Verteiron
2024-08-28 00:14:37 +0000 UTCIt feels like Jeph is really building this higher than most reveals. I'm expecting a pretty good payoff.

Rhyon Ingalls
2024-08-28 00:13:27 +0000 UTCOkay, Yay has exceeded my limit. If I were faced with this eldritch horror I'd want Elliot as my security.

2024-08-28 00:13:22 +0000 UTCI have… concerns.
Greg Matyola
2024-08-28 00:12:57 +0000 UTCRoko incoming to noogie some sense back into Yay in three… two… one…
Lucas Werkmeister
2024-08-28 00:12:39 +0000 UTCOkay, one of two things is happening. Either Yay is trying to deliberate scare Moray, in which case they're doing an extremely dickish move, or they're losing self-control and projecting a reflection of their true form they usually manage to repress, in which case everyone in the QCverse should be bloody terrified.

Lorraine Clarke
2024-08-28 00:10:05 +0000 UTCSo Yay is about to detach there jaw and try to swallow her?

Brendan Luster
2024-08-28 00:09:37 +0000 UTCOh my, yes, I had not thought of it that way. Truth, indeed.
Brooks Moses
2024-08-28 00:09:36 +0000 UTCCan we go back to the usual sassy and stylish Yay?
Chauncey
2024-08-28 00:09:33 +0000 UTCCould not do a purple void apparently.
TV4Fun
2024-08-28 00:09:31 +0000 UTCI get the feeling that Eldritch Horror Yay probably wouldn't have come around if they had gone with a more pleasing colored void, such as purple.
Nikki
2024-08-28 00:08:29 +0000 UTCI love the way she is forgetful despite being an ai. It's endearing
Jacob A Hicks
2024-08-28 00:08:27 +0000 UTCI half expect them to go full Gollum(sp).
Edward Clayton Andrew
2024-08-28 00:08:21 +0000 UTCSo unfortunate when you’re doing your best “eldrict entity from beyond the void” and the peon sent to treat with you is completely unfazed. Looks like you’re going to need to employ special methods here. Looks like you’re… actually going to need to talk, Yay. Chop chop, I know you’re capable.
AlexKorobeiniki
2024-08-28 00:08:04 +0000 UTCYay is about to sew buttons on Moray’s eyes.

pseudoclever
2024-08-28 00:07:05 +0000 UTCYou're not scaring anyone or anything born in the depths of the ocean.
Bill Silvia
2024-08-28 00:07:01 +0000 UTCYay pulls a Freeza. I could make a slender man or a Dracula joke, but…
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-28 00:06:55 +0000 UTCI love how unbothered she is, likely because she has no real idea of what a person *should* look like so this shape is no different than any other
Eric Sieck
2024-08-28 00:06:51 +0000 UTCI was not prepared for Eldritch horror Yay
