I’m trying to imagine the sequence of events that lead to Joyce being allowed to touch the helmet. (Or was it, the helmet being slammed onto her head to close her in/shut her up?)
I would tend to lean to the “Helmet slammed on to shut her up.”
Or sal might still have that nice side we saw in the very early stories in the walkyverse.
I dunno know why, but everytime I imagine those three making out, I smile. Nothing but humor gets me to smile randomly like that. Ever. I sincerely think I like it a little TOO much. XD
Random sporadic bad fanfic piece by myself! Kind of platonic-ish though. Might write more later or something and might turn into shippy stuff later:
—
“Whose fault is that?” she asked, the question coming across more bitterly than she intended, somewhat ruining her earlier nonchalant act. She heard her brother say something about stamps within his cop-out of an excuse but she ignored him. It didn’t seem to be worth the effort.
From behind however she heard the Joyce girl make noises as she continued to play make believe, pretending she was riding her motorcycle after Sal had told her she could mess with the helmet but not the bike.
“Knock yourself out. Just don’t mess it up blue eyes, ya here?” she’d said. She wasn’t sure why, but the girl’s upset expression when she’d denied her the opportunity of touching her motorcycle annoyed her, resulting in that alternative offer. Sal would stick to her guns but she wasn’t made of stone, much as she’d like to have been.
However as Sal stopped for a second to stub out her cigarette on the pavement, she couldn’t help but smile a little.
She was a cute girl after all, almost endearing in her naivity and child-like wonderment. It was too early to tell and she didn’t really know her, but maybe she wouldn’t be too much of a pain to hang around with. She just needed someone to show her the ropes and a bit of the real world.
Who knew? It might be fun.
Maybe she’d have even more fun if she got to ride as a passenger.

I really like how Mr. Willis did the reflection off the helmet it makes it look like Joyce is smiling through the helmet. Well done good sir, well done…
I imagine Mike is nonplussed at the family drama — it’s a little much to learn about your roommate. Also, if Sal had been shipped off to a boarding school to curb wild tendencies, well, what if it HAD worked, and her addictions to nicotine and two wheeled performance vehicles were her only vices left? And postage hasn’t ridden much at all when you compare it to inflation (just ask my fountain pen penpalling friends — they’re hardcore!).
Hah, so Billie is human afterall… After all the “We don’t know each other here” and “We’re not in the same social circle” she too goes a bit sour when her ONLY friend (childhood or not) is there and NOT paying attention to her.
s: Ugh, I feel awful but I think I’ma take Sal’s side on this: Walky could probably put a bit ore effort…if he told his parents it was to write to his twin sister I’m sure they woulda spared him money for stamps, envelops, paper, etc…
I was thinking maybe they wouldn’t have computers/ technology/ etc. in Catholic school but then I realized as I read your comment that that’s the Amish (spelled right?) and I used to work in a church an my main job was to watch over kids as they were on the church’s computers!! Wow, my memory SUCKS.@_@
I think Joyce has become that character that I will ship with all the other girl characters. Or she will be. Billie, Sal. Who will be next for SS. Joyce femmeslash?

Joyce is adorable.
Also, can you smoke in classrooms?
Jen Aside
Yes, if you’re talking purely about ability vs. permission…
Malph
Normally, no. But Sal can.
David Herbert
She could break through a window to let the smoke out if they complain.
Rusty_Unycorn
She could break a wall to make a window that she would then break to let the smoke out. Because Sal is that awesome.
Anonymous
And she would do it with her nose.
Because Sal is that awesome.
AkuMetsu091
You guys didn’t leave much space for others to go deeper.
ryu
her nose hair. because sal is that awesome
Ed Rhodes
Actually, she would do it with YOUR nose,
Because Sal is that awesome.
(And somewhere, Chuck Norris is waving his hands frantically; “Hey! I’M awesome!”)
Comrade
Every night, Chuck Norris, trembling in terror and anticipation, checks his closet for Sal.

What class is she taking? Auto mechanics?
No0ne
Calculus

She taught that course, what are you talking about?

No0ne
I’m guessing that Sal just is not mean enough to feel the need to deny her a chance to wear the helmet, but that might just be me being hopeful…
Björn
“Here, take care of mah helmet until after school.”

Aw, Joyce looks so silly and cute in the last panel. ^^
bramblepatch
No, Joyce, the bike is behind you…

GRAND THEFT MOTORCYCLE!

My thoughts exactly. Joyce, you CAN see out of the helmet…

Oh, goddess of light and love…Joyce is adorable.
(And this isn’t helping my budding desire to ‘ship Joyce/Sal)
Ragnal
And Billie. Don’t forget Billie.
I dunno know why, but everytime I imagine those three making out, I smile. Nothing but humor gets me to smile randomly like that. Ever. I sincerely think I like it a little TOO much. XD
Rusty_Unycorn
…. Best… Ship… EVAR!
Must now worship this. And /r/ R to write such.
Malph
DAMN YOU!!!!
Malph
BTW, that’s because you beat me to the avatar.
R
Agreed! Sal could be all amused and offer to let Joyce rid the motorcycle, and things could go from there.
I’m not writing anymore fanfic though. I’ve got too much going on irl.
R
ride not rid, guh, tired, interview tomorrow early AM then work in the afternoon/evening, gotta find all of my printed out resumes and the like. x.X

Ho-hum
Five years and she’s got a heavy, southern drawl.
Hawt.
General Tekno
That’s not Joyce!
That’s the Head Alien, disguised as Joyce!
MeestahBushido
Can’t unsee!
Qaxis
Joyce is the only character who looks happy in this strip. And you can’t even see her face. VROOOOOM!
Sakimei
Walky doesn’t seem to be too upset at his sister’s lack of communication.
But you’re right. Everyone’s eyebrows (‘cept for Walky and Joyce, whose eyebrows we cannot see) are 180 degrees!
No0ne
And now Joyce is going to be late to class and hated by her math teacher for the rest of the school year 🙁
Joebo
You don’t get hated by your teacher for being late on the first day in college. Everyone is late on the first day.
No0ne
I was hated by my chem teacher because I was late on the first day…
No0ne
I really like how Mr. Willis did the reflection off the helmet it makes it look like Joyce is smiling through the helmet. Well done good sir, well done…
Dierna
Joyce is secretly a rebel….. varrrooom!
Undrave
Sal is bitter. Billie is bitter. Walky feels guilty. Mike is lurkin. Joyce is rebelling against The Man.
DRAMAAAAAAA!!!
In the FAAAAAAACE!
Bickendan
This is what happens when Robin pulls Drama Tags in toy stores.
She unwittingly unleashed some Serious Business in the DoA-verse!
Undrave
The Drama Tag has some creepy multi-dimensionnal mojo going on. Like the Walky Multiverse version of Vector Sigma or the Matrix o.o
Or maybe Mike’s sheer prescence just makes people angry. Must be the pheromone.
Robert in San Diego
I imagine Mike is nonplussed at the family drama — it’s a little much to learn about your roommate. Also, if Sal had been shipped off to a boarding school to curb wild tendencies, well, what if it HAD worked, and her addictions to nicotine and two wheeled performance vehicles were her only vices left?

Vroom…vroom…i miss my bike 🙁
On the plus side, Joyce is adorable.
Rusty_Unycorn
Say it with me here: DAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW.
In the FAAAAACE!
Joebo
Varoooooooooooooooooom!
Cholma
Pouty Billie is Pouty.
Joyce however, is ADORABLE. I can imagine the goofy grin she has her face right now.
Mirenheart
I imagine her lips are puckered, making the VROOM sounds.
Malph
I just found my new avatar!
Malph
Never mind, Rust_Unicorn got to it first.
Malph
I changed my mind (and enjoy talking to myself).
Mirenheart
i broke your line of self talking
Malph
But I was just about to have a third crazy personality join the discussion. And maybe even add a 4th (making it a orgy of talking to myself).
Rusty_Unycorn
That was a total combo-breaker
Joebo
Very nice, but I’m gonna stick with mine for now until something more epic comes along.
Malph
I also like to change my mind at a moment’s notice. Because Emo! Robin is awesome.
I think I’m going to go annoy other people now.
Cha
Joyce is completely adorable. xD
TexasNinjaBuzzard
Billie is clearly the most angry about Joyce getting to wear the PrissHelmet.
Dahlia
This is why I’m so fond of Joyce! xD
Hah, so Billie is human afterall… After all the “We don’t know each other here” and “We’re not in the same social circle” she too goes a bit sour when her ONLY friend (childhood or not) is there and NOT paying attention to her.

Dahlia
Darn avvi trouble! :s
milk experiment
“if he told his parents it was to write to his twin sister I’m sure they woulda spared him money for stamps, envelops, paper, etc…”
Or he could’ve just sent her an email. These days, postage prices are just about the lamest imaginable excuse for not staying in touch.
sparkles
That is the whole point. That it’s a lame excuse.
Dahlia
*facepalm* D’oh! Theres that, too!
I was thinking maybe they wouldn’t have computers/ technology/ etc. in Catholic school but then I realized as I read your comment that that’s the Amish (spelled right?) and I used to work in a church an my main job was to watch over kids as they were on the church’s computers!!
