We also learn about Marie-Neige being extremely territorial.

How does one pronounce ***** in French?
“***”. The “**” is silent.
Ah!
I don’t know how it’s pronounced in French, but in a certain universe I know you know, it’s pronounced “bongo”. :)
So it’s pronounced pute then?
Nah. Frivolesque takes place in Quebec, not France. :)
If you look at the french version, you’ll see that ***** is pronounced ******.
I’m still trying to figure out how to pronounce the “………” that I read everywhere. :)
Does Quebecian(?) French sound all that different compared to French French?
Just like British, Aussie and American English sound different from each other and use different words for the same things. :)
Written form is mostly the same, but spoken french in Quebec is pretty much its own thing, and a lot of frenchmen can’t even understand us and need to subtitle our shows and movies. (it’s insulting.)
Hahaha, the last time I heard someone being insulted regarding subtitles was on a YT video called “speak perfect english”. Oh man, I can just about imagine a Quebecian saying all kinds of similar things, except for the first few sentences of course. XD
HAHAHAHAHA.
Pretty much.
As of this post, Frivo is 180th place in Top Webcomics.
And 157 three days later. Yay!
Here we see a angry Marie-Neige being disturbed by the “trespassing” of a Marie-Luna into her territory.
Marie-Neige really isn’t a good person.
Things are getting pretty hairy.
Oooh I see what you did there.
Sorry, that was totally punintended.
I LOL’d all over my screen after I got it last night. “Pretty” tricky of you. :)
Well, she is starting to use colourful language…
Gaia might have some superpowers, but obviously mind reading, negative aura sensing, or compatibility matching aren’t included.
Why not? Marie-Lune is quite nice so far, she has no reason not to be friendly toward her.
Yes, Marie-Lune is nice, so far (foreshadowing?). If by “she” you mean Gaia, you’re right, she has no reason not to be friendly. But Marie-Neige has already decided multiple reasons NOT to be friendly. And Gaia hasn’t yet sensed that. Old saying: Proceed with caution when mixing friends.
Mixing friends is one of the worst things I can think of according to my own life experiences.
Also, I’m still waiting for you to drop me a line somewhere.
Yet you still want to add friends to the mix? Interesting.
And are you so certain we haven’t already met? Dun Dun Duunnn!
Maybe we have. I wanna know. T_T
Don’t T_T. :-) We can’t have met. In fact I’ve even proven that I don’t exist. (Paradox?)
Misdirection/distraction are just more of my insecurity defenses.
:(
You win.

M-L seemed a bit ominous in strip 185. She seems to have some (nefarious?) interest in Gaia (based on the context there).
I wonder if maybe M-N’s instinct are just really accurate. Initially it seemed like just a case of “she’s stealing my attention” and “she’s stealing my friends”. But maybe she’s just sensing the underlying danger.
You have no idea!
Also, good job catching that srip 185 appearance. I guess it’s a byproduct of binge reading. Most readers had totally forgotten about it when Marie-Lune made her proper appearance in this chapter.
The binge reading definitely helps. And it also helps her name was in the tag-list. I might not have recognized her as easily if I didn’t also have a matching name. The hair and glasses are the same, but the way she dresses and how she acts are quite different.
Was she already tagged there when 185 was published? (I can imagine she was left untagged and mysterious initially, and was tagged only later so people could find previous appearances.)
Yup. You guessed right. I only tagged her initial appearance much later, in a stealthy way.
Funny though her first appearance is MUCH older. She appears on a manga Saki is reading in chapter 2. Back then, I wasn’t too sure if I wanted her in Frivolesque or not.
So, even before the “invasion” strip?
Ah, I think I’ve found it: Coincidence
.. Is that a chainsaw?
I hope that’s not foreshadowing M-L’s actual choice in weaponry.
I understand why M-N would be jealous, when she finally managed to make some friends:

Things are starting to heat up.
Is that your brother next to you in the background? :D I like that you guys have inverted the red and black XD
Yeah! He’s been in the bar crowd for quite a few strips already! XD
And yes, don’t you remember him from Nadeshicon? His con outfit is the opposite of mine.
I’ll admit not being there for very long so my memory isn’t the best, but sure enough, now that you mention it, I seem to remember his colors :) Sorry, sometimes, my memory’s color blind XD
How about Borg versions of Gaia and company.
What’s your deal, with all those strange suggestions?
My guess, Rule 36: “If it exists, somebody has developed a fetish for it”.
I wish I was a borg version of Gaia &co.
I bet it would be so cool to be a hivemind of cute girls. And more diverse than the Misaka sisters.
(Obviously it would be a borg version without the sickly look and creepy prosthetics.)
Dez where did you get the idea for Frivolesque?
It’s more like, where did Frivolesque get the idea for Dez.
I suspect we’re ALL actually figments of Flore imagination. :)
Who let all those butterflies in here, Zhuang Zhou?
I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.
