Saint James Infirmary 526: Tentacles Optional

[Daphne]

[matmon]

is that watch gonna come back into play soon

[jmundt29]

They seem to be doing pretty well without it for now.  I think it becomes crucial as those forces nominally or forcibly allied with Jakob start to flow into Kearsage.  I think Dani's working on it, and it might be a part of expanding the harem...if they do end up doing that.

[Haight]

Hopefully the watch will get involved with Hitomi... We'll see

So, is this panel Adrian sharing the pic with Erin for her expert opinion?  Is that why we have the title, she makes an off-color joke?

Daphne does seem to be returning to this particular theme with Hitomi... Though I can't imagine tentacles will make an appearance in SJI.

Then again, if Adrian had a few extra appendages, it would certainly make pleasing his harem at once easier.

[jmundt29]

Explaining the term, it seems.  Although it could be foreshadowing.  It seems Ms. Hackberry and Ms. Ravella have the same approach to "taking direction."

Speaking of--Jaqui in yoga class.  That could be very, VERY interesting.

Indeed. Especially her scoping out sexy young things to bring home to master...

[jmundt29]

Or even just seeing the young gals in the class.  But, yeah.  Erin seems to be recruiting, Caitlyn seems to be recruiting, Dani seems to be recruiting.  Jacqui recruiting could be absolutely marvelous.

Oh, and they have another reason to help Cherry somehow.  For all her legion of faults, Cherry is beautiful.  The chance for her redemption or complete comeuppance through the treatment Raven got earlier seems quite appealing.

Too bad there isn't something sexy Erin or Erin and Pearl could do to neutralize the problem without involving her, though.

[Haight]

Are they, really, though? I don't think it's so clear. Erin's not really recruiting anyone, and Hitomi was the one who broached the subject of meeting Adrian to Caitlyn. Still no talk of their programming or that they have have the urge to expand the harem in some time.

[jmundt29]

We didn't exactly hear all the programming that went into the first cohort, and while they're being passive, the impulse to expand seems to be there.  Dani and Erin seem to be half-recruiting Her Unpronouncebaleness, and Cait is encouraging Hitomi.  I'm sure if she wanted to, she could have come up with a distraction that would have caused the subject of Adrian to be dropped.  She didn't.  And Erin has some sort of fun set up with Reka who has already "sampled the goods."  And poor Raven is in limbo.  I think the next trick will be to convince Adrian to relax his recruitment prohibition.  And tonight seems like the night for it.  It's Mallory's birthday, Dani and Jacqui are double-featuring at Sawyer's.  Erin is up to some mystical shenanigans with Pearl.  Adrian has a double date with Cait and Hitomi.  And Erin has something with Reka in reserve.

[Haight]

We'll see. Daphne hasn't communicated that they're acting on Watch urges in the comic in quite some time; the diminishment of it's influence seems to be proceeding apace in the comic. A lot of these women were sexually adventurous before the Watch; it's hard to tell how much is just them and how much is Watch programming.

[mns_95125]

Yes.  There's a difference between "get this person to have sex with Adrian" and "induct this person into the harem as one of Adrian's sex slaves".  It's possible that the girls are interpreting Adrian's reluctance as a prohibition on the latter but not the former.

[jmundt29]

Pearl's situation is complicated for several reasons, but that wasn't just a romp.  Seems like there was a multi-layered magical overlay on top of it.  Dani and Erin teamed up to actually hypnotize Her Unpronounceableness.  Circumstances seem to have dictated Hayley's sister's unofficial absorption into the harem.  Recruitment.isn't deaf.  It's on pause, and several members seem to be cultivating candidates.  Maybe acceptance of the other Honeywell twin has accelerated the process again?

The shadow on Erin's hand in panel 1 looked like a fingerless glove.  Normally not a weird enough thing, but it made me notice that she also has two right arms in that panel.

Art's been getting better overall, though.
