That’s absolutely something cats will do. One of my neighbor’s indoor/outdoor cats decided “fuck this, I’m out” one day, and moved in with a family down the street. (It wasn’t abused or anything, they’re just the type to leave food and a box out and call the cats in every night, but otherwise leave them to their own devices.) Now it’s exclusively an indoor cat, and it’s pampered and showered with attention every day.
Joyce is a convenient heat source for Fuckface right now, but I bet he’ll crawl right back onto Malaya’s head once she finds them.

“Joyce is a convenient heat source for Fuckface right now, but I bet he’ll crawl right back onto Malaya’s head once she finds them.”
Fuckface’s powers might get her some bonus points if she lets him tag along to class… although I think Joyce is too good to intentionally use his powers for that.
Joyce, I don’t think you understand what is actually going on around you. In other news, the sky is still blue, Mike is still an asshole and I’m still grumpy.
I’m already looking forward to going through the comments archive in 3-5 years, when Willis (most likely) next changes the avatar roulette; just to see if Kyrik’s profile pic still is perfect.
Unless I’m quite mistaken (which I freely admit I could be), Ruth is not Malaya’s RA. Therefore Fuckface will be hidden by an S.E.P. (somebody else’s problem) field and this will be unnoticeable to Ruth unless she actively tries to trick herself into noticing him. Anyone who’s read the late great Douglas Adams can see this. 🙂
Originally that was true, but Billie got traded for Malaya and now Ruth is Malaya’s RA just as she was Billie’s.
DaveM
Thank you, I’d forgotten that little detail (I knew Billie was traded, but forgot Malaya was the other end of that trade). Oh well, hopefully Ruth will recognise that FuckFace’s femurs are too small for her to bother with (Malaya’s femurs are a seperate issue).
Hasn’t some apprentice taken over Chick Tracts? (Especially since I think some of them were ghostwritten in his later years.) I mean, they’ll never have the same nearly-charming failure of storytelling, proselytizing, or painting the religion and deity they’re supposed to promote as anything but horrifying and the nonbelievers as having lived under rocks for the last 2000 years, but I guarantee it’ll be written by someone who’s never seen an iguana in their life and thinks they’re a plot by the Devil!
Meanwhile, it’s Gator Hater Week in Tennessee–and a four-foot alligator was caught in the state. Whether it was wild or just BBQ on the hoof, we don’t know just yet.

C’mon, Joyce, you’re testing your new powers on all the wrong subjects. Go get Dorothy, make her take a break from studying. A real one this time, one that’s good for her. Or, heck, maybe just a nap.
Make her take a shower longer than strictly necessary, followed by a nice, relaxed breakfast containing plenty of protein and carbohydrates and exactly as much sugar as she pleases. Then let her block out a good hour or so to just listen to music or a podcast, something not related to her classwork at all. (She can listen to the riveting nonfiction stuff later.) And then after class, she can have structured productive I Feel Motivated To Continue study time for ninety minutes, and then another break. And a nap somewhere in there, plus twelve hours sleep tonight. Fuckface Demands It.
(Honestly twelve hours is probably low-balling the sleep she needs given she’s clearly been operating on sleep deprivation for a while, but baby steps. The weekend, though? In her bed, alarm off. Studying is not self-care, Dorothy.)
I have had a lot of time to think of how much of a break Dorothy needs and what she’d likely accept to get her to take one already. And so has Fuckface.
Fuckface has a perfectly nice tank, with a heat lamp and lots of space and branches and stuff. Fuckface has a perfectly nice room, with even more space and warmth and high places. The outside in Indiana in October is not where Fuckface should be, Joyce. (Also, do not give iguanas blankets, Joyce. It won’t help.)

Oh, it works fine. It’s just that Fuckface controls the suggestions, not Joyce.
He’s currently suggesting Sarah give him some lettuce.

Fuckface has been nerfed in the jump between universes
Cholma
+1
ShinyNeen
It’s like the sequel to a video game- all the old strategies have been nerfed. Devs want us to use the new, sparkly fresh stuff!
But maybe we just want to wear lizards on our heads.
Makkabee
“But maybe we just want to wear lizards on our heads.”
This is a deep and profound truth.
Passchendaele
hopefully they’ll fix that in the next patch
Needfuldoer
The devs can nerf him until he’s inert, and we’ll still see comments complaining “Fuckface is OP”.

Yes, be less sarcastic.

Joyce, it’s only a -1 to their will saves, don’t expect to part the Red Sea with that lizard.

Wait, Moses made the Red Sea fail a will save?
Tacos
Of course. I thought everybody knew that.
Zach
He used ‘intimidation’ and it buckled under the pressure.
Doctor_Who
No, he made everyone else think he parted the Red Sea, and they walked across without noticing how wet they were getting.
Dana
Hard to picture, but hey, you’re the Time Lord.

it’s a masterwork item, it gives a +2 to diplomacy

If Fuckface wasn’t green, I would suspect a Mulberry Ioun Stone.
Nono
Maybe it just amplifies already present traits? So it makes Sarah ULTRA sarcastic, and Joyce disrespect boundaries EVEN MORE.
Dana
It makes Carla ULTRA CAR-la.

… Mike must never meet Fuckface.

So is she just gonna walk around all day like that or…?
Plasma Mongoose
I cannot imagine Malaya allowing Joyce to keep FF on her head all day.

Why not? He IS her iguana now, after all.

On the contrary. Fuckface has adopted Joyce in much the same way cats adopt a⃥n⃥ ⃥o⃥w⃥n⃥e⃥r⃥ support staff.

I sense that Fuckface may be a metaphor.

Regalli
Might be hard to hide him from the authorities if so.
Then again, maybe Fuckface’s powers extend precisely to ‘make anyone in a position of power overlook the iguana on a student’s head’? I’d accept that.
tim gueguen
Sorry, Joyce, but she’s too cynical for that magic to work.
Passchendaele
i hate to break it to you joyce, but if sarah *weren’t* sarcastic, the world would probably end

So it’s a win-win for Joyce.

Fuckface might be giving you advantage on your Persuasion checks, Joyce, but Sal’s DC is too high for your proficiency modifier.

Jack Chick’s latest posthumously-published tract, “IGUANAS: The Devil’s Reptile”
Regalli
Hasn’t some apprentice taken over Chick Tracts? (Especially since I think some of them were ghostwritten in his later years.) I mean, they’ll never have the same nearly-charming failure of storytelling, proselytizing, or painting the religion and deity they’re supposed to promote as anything but horrifying and the nonbelievers as having lived under rocks for the last 2000 years, but I guarantee it’ll be written by someone who’s never seen an iguana in their life and thinks they’re a plot by the Devil!
C.T Phipps
Chick Track:
Nonbeliever: Oh ho, time to go kill some babies.
Believer: NO! Killing babies is wrong.
Nonbeliever: Says who?
Believer: Jesus!
Nonbeliever: Who?
Believer: Our savior who will smite and destroy all baby-killers come the apocalypse, which is NOW
Nonbeliever: Oh my gosh! How do I avoid this horrifying apocalypse!
Believer: You can’t. *kicks him into fissure which has appeared behind him* BUT YOU CAN, READER!
Regalli
Yeah, but a real Chick Tract would go on for at least three more pages to get the same information.
CJ
Wait, chick tracts are named after a person?

Sarah’s last speech bubble makes Fuckface look like a little Dimetrodon.

Wonder when Malaya will notice Fuckface is gone. Will she be mad?

Joyce and Sarah’s dynamic remains one of my favorites.
And Carla is free to talk about herself whenever, she’s a treasure.
Kaunisenkeli
In this case, Joyce, I do believe you’ll be seeing the opposite of your suggestion.

Don’t steal pets, Joyce.

Lock up your pets and boy friends because Joyce Brown is here to steal them all.
