Because everybody has one.
I've always loved Parley the most. I hoped she'd end up a major recurring character ever since her first appearance, and I was SO PLEASED when she and Smitty hooked up. x.x

Jack is still my favorite. Oh Jack, you'll wander back into this comic someday you vagabond, I know it.
In other news, Hetty is now a close second for "least favorite character", running just two lengths behind Tony, the perennial champ.

Jones. Chicks that don't have emotions are hawt. Infinity fistbumps. I love that whole superstrength/invulnerability combo too. Personally I like Renard a lot, he's got a cool mix of mystery and personality going on. Plus he's so noble and he looks like my dog. I'm not surprised Hetty's getting hit, but since I'm so emotionally invested into her I can't even complain. I mean, I took up Gunnerkrigg Court to fill up the hole in my heart the Assassin's Creed series left, and I took that up to replace The Last Airbender, and well, we all know how that went. Wait, no you guys don't. Laughing on Line. |

Jones. Chicks that don't have emotions are hawt. Apparently Eglamore reluctantly agrees. Still, not a recipe for a good long term relationship. |

Also, I don't mean to be crude, but I wonder to what degree of physicality the relationship has escalated, considering the fact that Jones is... not composed of similar molecular structure as the rest of us. She seemed pretty covetous of Eggy for somebody who is allegedly completely solid.

Jones. Chicks that don't have emotions are hawt. Infinity fistbumps. I love that whole superstrength/invulnerability combo too. Hah, well, I was half-joking really, but I do really like the calm and cool demeanor that extends from her lack of strong emotions. I definitely agree that her strength and toughness are points in her favor. I also love that she's extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, perceptive, and capable. Even though she remains detached from most situations, she's certainly able to handle herself and others when the need arises. And on top of that, she's very easy on the eyes. Aw yeah. I also really like that she's one of those rare mystery characters that, as her mystery has unfolded, she's become more interesting rather than less. I can't wait to learn more about her true origins. Also, I don't mean to be crude, but I wonder to what degree of physicality the relationship has escalated, considering the fact that Jones is... not composed of similar molecular structure as the rest of us. She seemed pretty covetous of Eggy for somebody who is allegedly completely solid. Given her weight situation, I would hope for Elgamore's sake at least that she's not into woman-on-top. |

Well no, this brings to mind the big question: is Jones anatomically correct? I'd assume so (even if it makes ass outta me) considering Tom saw fit to censor those bits during Stone. If she was smooth as a Barbie doll, why bother? Plus, y'know, she needs to have all the right stuff if all the Jones porn I'm planning on drawing is going to be canon-correct!  And if she is, would she be able to use all that stuff? Not so much an assumption this time as a hypothesis. Since she's been shown to masquerade as human for extensive periods of time, it's quite possible that her skin and other tissues are just as pliable (up to a point) as those of a normal human body while still being completely impervious. It would be mighty difficult for her to hide her true nature if she actually felt like a stone to even casual contact. And, not to put too fine a point on it, there are other parts of her anatomy that she could use for sexual purposes which we can see are perfectly correct. |

And, not to put too fine a point on it, there are other parts of her anatomy that she could use for sexual purposes which we can see are perfectly correct. If my memory serves I think the general consensus of the forum was agreement; Jones' hair is shown weighed down by water so it seems reasonable to speculate that her tissues are malleable up to the point of cellular distress, in which case I suppose whatever additional force is redirected into some other universe or something. And that led me to wildly speculate that if one could cause a change in Jones of any sort, even cutting a single hair, that might destroy her. But if she has internal structures similar to a human the pressures she can exert even by small non-conscious movement and the displacement of air from in/around her bod would make any intimate interactions with her incredibly problematic. To use the least offensive example I can think of, if she accidentally created a void in her mouth while giving a guy a kiss, that would likely cause a tiny but genuine vacuum in her mouth... Of course, he'd only lose enough tissue to fill the small void but that would probably kill the mood. Also, kinda thinking that her relationships with the people she attaches herself to are probably not sexual. But don't let that stop you. |

Well I'm sure that she feels fleshy, both outside her body and ahem, inside.
I mean, she doesn't eat does she? So she wouldn't need a digestive system, so her pharynx may as well end as soon as it goes behind her tongue. She probably doesn't need an anus either.
We don't need to assume that the excess force is redirected into another universe, it just pushes back on the object imparting force. You can't scratch glass with a wooden stick, the force isn't just "disappearing", it's acting on the wood.
And I'm sure her relationships are non sexual, if she's as stoic as she says she is. However, she's been alive for over four billion years, I can't even imagine a dry spell lasting that long. Two hundred thousand years of human history and she's never been with someone sexually? Nice try.

I think she did say something about mistaking the first humans she saw for beings like herself so she might've tried it... but man, if she didn't know and she tried to duplicate something she saw humans doing... I pity that dude.

I've always liked Jones too, just the deadpan delivery of every line no matter the topic makes me smile.
I've always thought of their relationship as being fairly platonic, although given she seems to replace a human partner in those relationships she is in maybe I'm wrong (Neither Samuel or the original Jones had children or any partners we knew about)

Of course, he'd only lose enough tissue to fill the small void but that would probably kill the mood. That's not how vacuum works.

Plus, not-knowing-her-own-strength would seem more than a bit unusual given just how much time she's had to practice with it. Her own strength? Sure. Their lack of immutability? Nah, not if she thought they were beings like her at first. Hopefully she discovered that they weren't like her through observation, by watching someone fall and skin a knee or something. But someone accidentally harming someone else through ignorance wouldn't be inconsistent with this comc. To use the least offensive example I can think of, if she accidentally created a void in her mouth while giving a guy a kiss, that would likely cause a tiny but genuine vacuum in her mouth... Of course, he'd only lose enough tissue to fill the small void but that would probably kill the mood. That's not how vacuum works. And unless she were to inflate like a balloon there's no reason to think she'd create much more suction than could happen during normal kissing. Heh. Difficult to respond without getting graphic but if Jones is capable of exerting pressures that can crush any known measuring instrument with her fingers she's capable of doing the same with other movements, plus Jones is apparently immutable. Assuming Jones has human-like internal structures and "feels real" then Jones likely has involuntary movements too. After a certain unknown point, voids that get created aren't going to be filled by Jones' tissues reshaping, but by whatever's around. Anything that would result in a snap crackle or pop sound if humans were doing it would be an event created with Jones' abnormal force when Jones is doing it. It would be tiny but that would sting if the gap gets filled by you instead of by air. If Jones does not have human-like internal structures and remains perfectly still I suspect voids in Jones that get filled by you will not let you go unless you can change your own shape to allow air in to fill the space. That wouldn't be a problem with kissing in that particular set of circumstances but other stuff might result in an embarrassing emergency services call. If you start adding conscious reaction the scenarios get even worse (If she kisses you back you might be in the running for male lead in the next Face Off movie) so I think I'd rather date the fire elementals. They're less likely to tell you they didn't feel a thing.  |

It would be tiny but that would sting if the gap gets filled by you instead of by air. That's still not how vacuum works. Volume is the relevant variable, not force. If you lock your lips to Jones and she expands her ribcage or something, it decreases the pressure but does not create a vacuum, much less start pulling bits of matter to arbitrarily "fill the gap". There is no gap, just a change in pressure throughout the shared cavity. In the worst possible hypothetical case where the change in pressure is super Jonesy abrupt and your nostrils are completely blocked off for some contrived reason she might rupture an eardrum? |

I would absolutely not treat the mouth as a single uniform cavity in these circumstances! Sure, breathing and the surrounding air pressure pushing stuff into gaps are the only relevant forces for human lip-smackin' noises but in this case I'll respectfully suggest that Jones' composition and strength would make small events that two humans would never/usually never notice when kissing noticeable (by compression of air in addition to gaps) and potentially painful to the non-Jones party. Also automatically assuming her mouth can equalize with the sinuses or lungs the way a human's would is still a question mark. I speculate that it can but am unsure.

I don't know that one has to inhale to be a good kisser, although I agree that the fact that Jones cannot inhale is an obstacle. I guess Eggy thinks she does a fine job anyway. |

Well sine Jones can talk she obviously is able to move air in and out of her body. I doubt that she would be able to create a terribly strong vacuum in her mouth simply by inhaling, she has the same physical constraints that a normal human has (Um, in terms of body geometry).

Jones? She lives in a world where presumably, great creatures such as Coyote and Ysengrin are formed on belief alone. Perhaps if Jimmy Jims and all of us in the forums believe really hard she's a good kisser, she won't vacuum anyone's face off. (Hmm...thinking about it...does she belong to the same category as Coyote at all? Does his theory apply to her? Since she has existed before humans were there, though she has a human shape. Hmm...) In terms of the question in this forum, I can't really say. I have lots of favourites, and depending on my mood I might prefer someone over someone else. Right now, my number one is Renard. He's funny and mischievous as well as serious and mysterious. There's a lot more to him than meets the eye, and I always enjoy reading about him. |

Favorite Character: DonDon. Used to be Eggers but as the comic has unfolded I think I relate to Donald better. Well sine Jones can talk she obviously is able to move air in and out of her body. I doubt that she would be able to create a terribly strong vacuum in her mouth simply by inhaling, she has the same physical constraints that a normal human has (Um, in terms of body geometry). That would actually be a really good and easy thing to test... Is Jones talking by making vibrations in the air or something else? Because if she's a rock that's shaped like a woman and she moves and talks because everyone believes she's a woman and women can do those things and that belief has layered ether over her over thousands of years, she just might not be. It wouldn't be conclusive but it is something that I didn't think of before. But as to the physical constraints of Jones... If she can exert those pressures with her fingertips I don't see any reason why other parts of Jones don't follow the same rules. So... Even if you are not breathing at the time, if you open your mouth quickly or change your facial expression drastically you may hear some tiny popping or smacking noises. That comes from the saliva and air compressing or expanding along with the rapidly-changing shape of your mouth. As any devotee of the french kissing knows, at times this can be distracting or even embarrassing. When you start adding super-strength and immutability into that mix I'm reasonably sure that worse consequences can result... Okay, maybe it's just a fractional cc of your lips, gums, or tongue that gets mechanically distorted a cm or so by forces that are less-yielding than a dentist's forceps but that is still one heck of a pinch. And don't forget her tongue can take your teeth right outa their sockets. |
