Wren and Maria have left the party and now sit on a bench in a residential neighborhood.
MARIA: As soon as they started up the beer pong, it was all, “no homo†and “faggot†and, just, totally awful. I’m sorry we missed Nhi’s party.
WREN: It’s ok. I’m sorry that I was trying to boss you around.
MARIA: Thanks for waiting for me.
WREN: Of course. Maria… I know I’m not always good at showing it, but I care about you, like, more than anyone else in the world. So I won’t leave your drunk butt alone anywhere. Ok? Ever.
awwwwww. also I somehow had not commented here before now but I’ve been following for a while and riot nrrd is my favorite webcomic ever of all time, just so you know. yay for hitting the 100 mark!
Is that “Maria is puckering at Wren” in a drunksleepy fashion, or . . . something else! Why am I the only one not getting *just* an “aww, sweet” vibe from this one!
A., I thought the same thing! oh God, can you imagine Maria and Wren, though? for me that’s like imagining myself with my longtime best friend. Jesus, no. if I keep imagining THAT, I might vomit.
Wow, for some reason I thought the person that put the lampshade on Wren was one of Nhi’s friends :S I thought she found Nhi’s party but was too tired to join in or something 🙁 I’m so easily confused.
YAY! I am glad this turned out not-scary! And also friendship-affirming.
aw, i hope maria gets to have some good times soon, she’s been pretty lonesome for a while…
Awww that was a sweet scene, and I’m glad Maria is ok
…This reminds me of your comic #20. For some reason, I find that really sweet <3

Congrats on 100 comics :). I’m glad this didn’t turn out all weird and awkward. Yay friendship!
