Saint James Infirmary 160: RTFM

[Daphne]

Coming Tuesday, February 12th!

[jmundt29]

No idea.

Internet shorthand?  Call-sign of the belltower radio station used as cover for the experiment before shutdown?  Some kind of medical abbreviation for the migraines and hallucinations the belltower transmissions are causing jacked up this far?

The label of a different experimental perfume that Vik reaches for in self-defense that makes everything worse?

Messenger-Girl's initials?

And now I've seen it, and I still don't know what the title means.  Is that what she underlined?  What does it stand for?  If that's not what she underlined, what did she underline?

I guess Sarah's in her thirties and happily married to a guy with the last name Carleton.  Where in town does Laura live?  Hold it--we saw her place, didn't we?  That was where girls' night was.  Hayley would have raised holy hell if Amy had dragged the girls to the sisters' shared flat for harem disucssion and sexual experimentation.  I don't remember seeing Lavoisier that night, though.  Or on the Night of The Watch when she got the call from Derek.  Is he ill?  Boarded at the local kennel?  Has he run off?

[Werdna]

Well, Lavoisier (great name for a chemist's cat!) was in issue #47.

I think she underlined some kind of sexual preference.  As readers, I'm sure our imaginations can fill that in more creatively than if we knew what it was.

I liked the shy, turning-away look in panel 3 - kind of embarrassed, kind of laughing at herself at how weird it is to prepare a brief on herself.  (That's how I see it, anyway.)  Very cute.

Lastly, and probably in the "reading too much into things" file - for what reason is she asking if Adrian's done with his drink at the end?  It seems weird.  (Could be nothing, but I found it odd.  Given how many odd things have greater significance in Kearsarge and at Wilmot, though, I have to ask.)

RTFM - Can be (Read the F--king Manual)
Laura is ask if Adrian is done with coffee
Now it's time to have sexly fun or what was double underline.  

Laura : Place of birth, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Good question Where is Hayley ? (page 109)
This is Amy and Hayley Place?

[elbenton]

Anybody who has been in the military knows that RTFM stands for "Read The F**king Manual", like laguna said.

[jmundt29]

Not a military brat.

Don't know what that one means either.

Frankly, after the week Adrian's had, I'm not sure what he'd be unsure about.


Raven's presence is appreciated.  Her ambiguous posture is understandable because it provides for a wide variety of possible interpretations.  I get the sense that her absorption into the Harem as part of a Third Cohort (also possibly including Hitomi and Hayley) has been tabled for now.  If she'd gone under The Watch, she probably would have reacted more strongly to Adrian's presence.

[Daphne]

"RTFM" is pretty popular in tech circles, too.

[jmundt29]

I'm a user.  I'd never seen the abbreviation before.  Also, Adrian's attitude toward the girls in his orbit wouldn't indicate that such a remnder would be necessary.  He tries to make the experiences as good for them as possible.  As such, even before seeing his positive reaction, it would seem that he would welcome input of the sort that Laura is providing.

GW--care to provide a sanitized translation of the other abbreviation you used?  I'm not familiar with that one either.

I'm confused.  I thought this was a dinner date, but they're starting with a mid-afternoon coffee at Overroasted before the meal?

Also, what is it that Laura likes so much that Adrian thinks he isn't ver familiar with?  He's already shown an eagerness and a talent for providing oral pleasure, so what merits a double underline from Luara?

Any plans for a Valentine's Day....or, Valentine's themed splash page in the near future?

Laura almost looks feline as she is looking away as Adrien is reading over her C.V.(curriculum vitae).

I think she underlined some kind of sexual preference.  As readers, I'm sure our imaginations can fill that in more creatively than if we knew what it was.

I agree with Werdna 100%  Everything in this comic screams erotic foreshadowing.  And allowing the audience to speculate as to what was underlined twice only adds to our anticipation of what lies ahead.  Any chance of a bonus comic for valentines day?  Ps Daphne, Plutonian Knight and Octavia Moon we love your work!!!

What does it stand for?

GIYF

The presence of Raven looking on ambiguously is much appreciated.

There may be a New if Microsoft have there way (BIYF)

You do realize that the double underlined bit is Cougar Town and falls under the subject listing of "Favorite tv show" which due to accidental late inclusion happened to be listed after "In bed."

I thought she was trying to be funny and put the word "Fortune cookies", below the line we cant see.

Everyone knows how much I hate to give spoilers, but I'll categorically state that is not what is hidden there.

(And Laura is 26! Cougar? Way to make a girl feel old... )

[jmundt29]

Term gets overused, applied to different situations, and tends to lose all meaning and context.  I take it no word on a Valentine's issue is a quiet no.  Setting up for a splash page Friday?
