[Up To Your Knees Out There]

Title Text: Later on, we'll expire/as we dream of roaring fires/we'll say we're okay/while wasting away/slowly freezing; I can't feel my hands

take pictures, Keene, we need to preserve this moment.

It´s all about the timing Keene, it´s all about the timing

Aww, Keene! You spoiled the moment! XD Rick’s trolling us now.

Did Keene place that trap? I mean, it seems that he was using his phone as a GPS locator – either that, or he’s recording them for blackmail.

Or there's the more likely chance that he's just using it as a flashlight

Post by **SeanWolf** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:14 am

Wait..how did Keene find them? Was there a chip installed in Zach? Also, love the expressions in the last panel!

Iceheart · Post by **Iceheart** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:16 am

Well, let's look at the bright side. The flash from Keene's phone. *bricked*

Uh, we're not friends! No how, no way!
I don't care what you think, this late in the day.
I don't think anyone will believe what you say!
We huddled for warmth and NOT for play!
You think I'd fancy him, the silly, homely, bunny?
I'm sure that you think you're being funny?
What do you mean I still owe you money?
You think I have a wallet in this fur, honey?
Do you know how much cash you've cost?
The time I've spent? The hours I've lost?
How cold my feet are in this snowy frost?
How it looks when I find you, star-crossed
with a feral Jess here in the permafrost?
Come on, let's go up to the big house
where you two can work and I'll just grouse.
What do you mean by calling me a Louse?
I'm a ferret you hideous huge mouse.

Ow...

I'm not sure whether to brick you or not. I'm not a forum vigilante and I'm also not too Keene on hurting people. *Bricked*

We'll played Rick, we'll played.
The trap was probably set by Keene for the gargoyles.
Why Keene thinks he is safe in the forest at night I cannot fathom.

This is a comment that only people who draw alot of anthropomorphic art will get, but Rick Griffin is really good at drawing crotches. Anyone who has sat there going "How do I make this intersection between the body and legs not look bizarre?" will understand what I mean.

Yes, that is what I think when I see his drawings. I think it's normal.

Number9Dysonsphere wrote:Why Keene thinks he is safe in the forest at night I cannot fathom.

He's on good terms with a chunk of the forest critters: the temple and a chunk of the forest is on his property and he's clearly associated with the opener of ways and a few other people ferals might not want to cross...

To be fair, I would be screaming if I was snuggling with someone and someone else appeared completely out of nowhere.

I can betcha Rick is having alot of fun with this now. :3

Mainly because I think, no pun intended, if Jess warms up to Zach, she'll just be less cynical. But hey, it can still happen =P

I'm sure it's being used both as a flashlight and a blackmail storage device. Keene's efficient like that.

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 10:18 am

and then Keene will try to free Zach and Jess but end up getting stuck in the cage with them.

What a way to spend thanksgiving

Why can no one cudde, get warm, or be remotely happy, without keene showing up? XD

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 11:58 am

Does huddling together for warmth count as a hug? I hope it does, way to interrupt a moment Keene!

Now it will never be a kiss on a cold winter night...

Yes. I bet you that is exactly what would happen, he gets hit in the face.

Great work. This is true beauty.

They aren't snuggling, they're keeping each other warm

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:38 pm

Likely he found them because the trap was his and it set an alarm off when they got captured in it. At least now they can get cleaned up and get some food now.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:50 pm

Uh, they were having an intimate moment.

But why draw only their silhouettes? Maybe it was because Zach was starting to cry (yeah, that's not nice)? See Jessica hug Zach sweetly to warm he up was a big event that surely won't repeat!

The last panel isn't worth it.

Perfect time to arrive, Keene, you were so unexpected and unwanted... Now come on, do something useful, open the cage with the universal key, and don't dare to say to don't have it...

Could be the beginning of a flirt, at least, but for now, this couple is definitely shippable with a new side of Jessica discovered.

Looks like Keene helped himself using a GPS to go through the woods.

Aww, she does worry about him.

Not sure if Keene showing up was good timing or bad timing, though.

Haha, I can't believe both the people who wanted to brick me ended up getting bricked themselves! I guess I must have opossome luck!

It's a phone, and you can see the light of its flash on the couple.
