This is the kind of thing we used to draw in (drunken/stoned) cartoon jams when I was in college. Except that we came up with better dialogue.
Between her unfortunate skin condition and DeFalco's asinine retcon of her and Gim's marriage, I'd say Yera's appendages are the least of her problems.

I think there is more than enough deep probing going on here already.

I considered challenging both you and LASH to fisticuffs, but then it occurred to me that what I really wanted was another drink.
Sorry.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

With the crustacean like appearance of the, um, appendage in question, I wonder if that's Yera's attempt at forming a mantis shrimp striker.
quote:Both types strike by rapidly unfolding and swinging their raptorial claws at the prey, and are capable of inflicting serious damage on victims significantly greater in size than themselves. In smashers, these two weapons are employed with blinding quickness, with an acceleration of 10,400 g (102,000 m/s2 or 335,000 ft/s2) and speeds of 23 m/s from a standing start,[7] about the acceleration of a .22 calibre bullet.[8][9] Because they strike so rapidly, they generate cavitation bubbles between the appendage and the striking surface.[7] The collapse of these cavitation bubbles produces measurable forces on their prey in addition to the instantaneous forces of 1,500 newtons that are caused by the impact of the appendage against the striking surface, which means that the prey is hit twice by a single strike; first by the claw and then by the collapsing cavitation bubbles that immediately follow.[10] Even if the initial strike misses the prey, the resulting shock wave can be enough to kill or stun the prey.
My more juvenile side wonders if the crab-like appearance of the appendage is because Yera has crabs...
Mmm. Crab. Now I wonder if Durlans taste good with a lemon-butter sauce.
