What do your minions have to say about THIS ONE?





Any dissenters can take it up with Myrnal.

The only female ninja I know of is unemployed.

Well, I don't know about the minions, but on the basis of the evidence, I daresay Kelne agrees.

Kai has clearly mastered the art of the solo eyebrow raise.

It looks more like she's tilting her head, I'd say.

Both.

I heard she last got fired after Atlus caught her on wallscroll and started selling the compromising images in their Ninjas Gone Wild brand.

Well, if I may dip into the stew of social constructs, women are supposedly known to be more limber and flexible and have a knack for guile and subterfuge. Contrariwise, men are supposedly known for their pure "beef" and pain tolerance, as well as dedication and seeking only facts, as opposed to details.

So I guess what it really comes down to is that girls do make better ninjas, but boys make better samurai. But don't tell Baiken or Ryu Hayabusa.

I thought women physiologically had a naturally higher threshold o' pain than guys?

I've been told that women are better at handling pain over long periods of time and/or building pain ,where men are better at handling sudden pain. I don't have anything to back that up with, though.

That's based on the theory that muscle fatigue and soreness are due to a buildup of lactic acid, which women are theoretically better at storing and processing due to active mammary glands. This has since been shown to be unlikely; mechanisms of muscle fatigue are more related to tissue damage and osmosis than lactic acid. Of course, that rules out just that one theory; it's entirely possible that women are indeed capable of greater feats of endurance than men, but I have not seen or heard of evidence to support (or, for that matter, to contradict).

Is that a card catalogue on the table in the back of the room?

Jewelry box.

I have to say, I would've put my money on FDeth's guess.

Well maybe it's both. Like, maybe she has a set of playing card earrings. You don't know.

More like dewey decimal earrings!

Is the jewelery box an older piece of furniture, by chance? I've seen that style a a few 'antique' shops (you know, the kind of place that sells stuff that's as young as 1 year old or as old as a 100), and then there was a period in time when overpriced why-not-buy-it-at-the-mall furniture imitated the style.

I had the name at one point, I think, from deviantArt of all places (someone bought and refinished a piece), but now I only know it as "that thing where there are rows and columns of lots of itty bitty square-ish drawers that look neat but I don't think I could ever actually store stuff in."

No, we bought it at Meijer like three months ago.

3 months ago? That's like, ancient!
