Doubtful. He has to know she’s likely to be there, most of his conversations with Sarah revolved around Joyce, after all. She’s not the surprise roommate.
If you have a 3ds with streetpass on, and you walk by someone else with a 3ds with streetpass on, you automatically trade certain information based on games you have in common. For example, if you both have the game “Animal Crossing: New Leaf”, you’ll be able to see the in-game house of the person you streetpassed.
Nintendo 3DS thing. If 2 3ds systems that are on and have their wireless on pass by each other they will exchange data and unlock things for certain games and/or 3DS apps on both systems.
The puzzle piece thing Ethan is talking about is from a mini-game in the Mii Plaza app. Every now and then Nintendo releases a new panel of an image for a game and will give each person 1 random piece (out of 16-40 pieces) from that panel. When you street pass someone else you can pick what panel piece you get from them. Once you get all the pieces from 1 panel you unlock a (sometimes) animated 3d and rotatable image/diorama of that image.
AKA the reason I always carry my 3DS with me and why I seriously consider carrying my second around with me, too. One day I will complete all the puzzles. One day…

This isn’t related to the events of the comic right now, but it randomly occurs to me that the title of this arc may be referring to Becky’s inability to get over Joyce. As in, the metaphorical butterflies in her stomach won’t leave.
Nintendogs had a similar concept (you can put the game in “searching for puppies to play with” mode) so I deduced StreetPass = timesink and social interaction gotcha.
At first I seriously built like 3/4 of my Norende with my 1 villager by leaving my ds on overnight for weeks. And then I went to a con and got the rest of my village built in a day. @-@
Amber isn’t so easily swayed by Street-Passes anymore. Also, that slinking away seems like it might be happening. Just don’t let Ruth find out about this party.
Friggin streetpass… once I start on a puzzle, I just get sucked into it and I’ll drop mad coins tryin to get that one puzzle piece I need. Either that or I’m dropp8n coins tryin to get that one Mii with that once white shirt so that they can use light magic on the room and I can leave… WHY DO I GET SUCKED INTO THESE THINGS SO EASILY??!?!?!?!?
Ooh. Sounds like Joyce is still trying to set Sarah up with Jacob. Probably wishing she could put the kibosh on that invite after recent developments though.
On the plus side, the invite list was made before the fight, so it won’t look like Joyce wanted Jacob to show up just to appease Sarah. And who knows, maybe he will cheer her up some…poor gal could use it after the beating Joyce gave her.
Man, I just go into town for my StreetPass hits. I get a lot of ’em as well- although recently there’s been a LOT of Americans. I don’t know why. Tourists I would assume, but my town (while near-ish to London) isn’t a huge tourist destination; nor would I assume it’s a popular time of year for travel.
A month or two ago there were a couple of weeks when we passed loads of Germans, so it’s not the first time… but it’s still odd!
(I totally have never ever gone out for the purpose of getting hits nope nosiree)
Oh, Ethan knows what he’s got. But living with someone you’re REALLY attracted to, but who probably isn’t attracted to you, can be a seriously mixed bag.
she’s spent enough time in ethan’s room to provide jacob with zany joyce stories to bond with sarah over, so she knows him well enough to know she can be comfortable with him around.
Ouch, you know what the worst part of this scene is? It’s the beginning where Jacob is on the invited list. It’s a party of only those Joyce knows well, so that she feels safe, but she invites a man she doesn’t know well. Why? Because she thinks he means a lot to Sarah. Joyce took this risk for her mental well-being in order to do right by her “big sister”, but she’s already poisoned this gesture with her careless words earlier.
The fact that he’s Ethan’s roomie probably plays into it as well. Pointedly inviting one person in double but not the other was Not Good Form when I lived in the dorms, and Joyce is usually pretty polite. I suspect Sierra would have been invited if she’d been in the room when Becky spoke to Dorothy.
This is a party about people Joyce feels safe being around, politeness has nothing to do with it./ She’s spent enough time around Jacob to know he’s an okay guy.
Yeah, but that’s Becky’s intention. She doesn’t know all of Joyce’s social connections here, so she had Joyce make the guest list. And Joyce is the type to put politeness ahead of her own social comfort. Believe me, I know the type.
And note that Walky’s invite was delivered by proxy through Dorothy. Conveniently leaves Mike out of the loop – and he and Joe are probably the two guys Joyce would least like to see at a party, aren’t they?
I am currently on my last week of campus housing ever, and I only managed to get around to StreetPassing in the past two semesters. I won’t really be able to do that afterwards.
What I’m saying is, take advantage of StreetPassing when you can. And go for the pink puzzle pieces first, those can’t be gotten with Play Coins.
I know it’s nitpicking, but isn’t ‘gotta’ an abbreviation for ‘got to’, as in “I got to go see the dentist.” or enslaving tiny superpowered animals to fight for our amusement?
Sure, but remember ‘twin’ is an intransitive verb meaning to grow as a composite crystal. “Holy butts, Amber. Do you have need to form two crystals at once, or do you permeate the entire universe?” Becky asks, her words rich in evocative metaphor.
Hm, I really like where this storyline is headed. I have like this feeling of under-the-radar tension that will just build up and up and then blow up in a huge firework… I’m getting giddy!
Have I mentioned how gorgeous Jacob is? Gorgeous Jacob is gorgeous. If I were Sarah, I would also be a little nervous about dating him for just that reason. He looks like a heartbreak waiting to happen.
Keep in mind that, according to Jacob, he is looking for a committed relationship. (This was after he and Sarah ran into Roz and Roz invited him to a party.)
What day is this supposed to be in the Dumbiverse? I hope it’s a Friday because 9 PM is kinda late for a party to just be getting started if some people (like Sarah) are going to have be up-and-at-’em for classes the next morning.
I’ve always had trouble understanding how Ethan and Amber were a couple so long without his sexuality becoming an issue earlier . . . but the last panel in this strip just made it so much easier to imagine!
Oh, no. Becky is starting to show signs of Butts Disease! Quick, someone isolate her and call the CDC before it becomes more serious or it spre – BUTTS!

they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno

Jacob: “Hey, cool party!”
*two seconds pass*
“ok, time to get shit done”
*leaves*
[also my M.O.]
C’mon, give Jacob credit.
He’d be there for AT LEAST, three seconds.
Jacob: “Hey, cool party!”
*doesn’t see any Doritos*
“OK, time to get shit done”
*leaves*
You misspelled “Walky.”
And “Nachitos”
Pretty sure we’ve seen a preview of Walky with his own bag of chips, so he’s coming prepared.
Eh, he can just bring some.
that prolly requires leaving the dorm
Jacob: “Hey, cool party!”
*Jacob sees Sarah* “meep I’m out”
Doubtful. He has to know she’s likely to be there, most of his conversations with Sarah revolved around Joyce, after all. She’s not the surprise roommate.
Amber… Yes it will.
Future Amber: That reasoning won’t work on me… an eleventh time!
(Dammit where’s that puzzle piece)
Amber: Dammit Ethan, that reasoning won’t work on me a fourth time!
*whip-cut to first panel of next day showing Amber attending said party*
I totally understand the streetpass puzzle piece feelings. I NEED those pieces.
Ah, the old StreetPass gambit. Works every time…for the first three times.
oh god streetpass puzzles
I feel the same pain. >_<
I have to ask, what is a Street-Pass?
It’s the thing that 3ds’ have when they pass each other.
Oh! So it’s for people who seek to play multiplayer mode then? Cool!
Yes its like multiplayer except you dont have to play with those “other people” that some people love so much.
3DS? Blecch. Sorry, but I prefer an optical projection system that doesn’t give me headaches and mild nausea. (Is stereoblind)
*Proceeds to play Super Mario Land on original style 80s Game Boy*
It’s means by which Nintendo’s handled devices communicate with each other, in order to co-ordinate their inevitable overthrow of mankind.
Danke! ^_^
Nintendo delenda est.
not sure how to explain it, so heres the wikipeadia page:

-shakes fist- Dang you Street-Pass puzzle pieces and my lack of similar-aged peers that blame games.
Blame games?
You haven’t played the blame game before? It’s loads of fun…
Probably should include a link… http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blame_game
The blame game, I know that one:
Seanie!
Seanie, Seanie, bo-ba-nee
Bo-na-na fan-na, fo-fa-nee

Seanie!
Opus!
. . .
wait, BLAME game. Sorry, never mind.
This isn’t related to the events of the comic right now, but it randomly occurs to me that the title of this arc may be referring to Becky’s inability to get over Joyce. As in, the metaphorical butterflies in her stomach won’t leave.
Hmmmm. Possibly both Becky for Joyce and Danny for Ethan?
And Ethan for Jacob.
And Jacob for Other Jacob.
…Wait, what?
Great point about Danny. Yeah, it’s probably both of them.
Someone brings butterflies to the party and they gain a taste for human blood.
I think that only applies to certain butterflies.
Really? I figured it was just a reference to “Party in the U.S.A”.
it can be both
Bimetaphor?
(There’s a joke about “you’d think there was a word for that” in here, but hell if I can figure it out. I’m not very good at coming up with jokes…)
Its okay. That happens to some guys.

I guess Amber doesn’t want to be mistaken for one of these.
Am I the only one who had to Google ‘Streetpass’?
I knew what it was but not enough of the specifics to get the joke.
^ this.
Nintendogs had a similar concept (you can put the game in “searching for puppies to play with” mode) so I deduced StreetPass = timesink and social interaction gotcha.
I didn’t, I read the comments instead XD
Nope. Although I didn’t know what it was, I just read through the comments. Eventually, someone asked what it was, and got an explanation.
Actually, seven of them, but, yeah.
*PSST* Amber…the secret is conventions.
Every time I go to a con, I just leave my 3DS in my pocket. Any place with a concentration of nerds that dense is a goldmine.
Now get back to work rebuilding my Bravely Default village, slaves! BWAHAHAHA!
At first I seriously built like 3/4 of my Norende with my 1 villager by leaving my ds on overnight for weeks. And then I went to a con and got the rest of my village built in a day. @-@
And all it cost you is the mandatory convention flu
Don’t get Amber angry, Ethan. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
Amber isn’t so easily swayed by Street-Passes anymore. Also, that slinking away seems like it might be happening. Just don’t let Ruth find out about this party.
But Billy is invited, no? I kind of doubt that Billy goes without Ruth even knowing about the party.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an appearance by Ruth, sober or drunk, that puts her relationship with Billie and position as RA at risk.
(Because of my bad typing I almost wrote Billie as Villie, and RA as RAT.)
Will we, perhaps, need to change the excuse to another game next time? Only time will tell.
There’s only really one other person in her social group that owns a 3ds anyway and he’s not invited
Sal ? I know she doesn’t Really own a 3ds but That’s the only one I can think of and I don’t know why she wouldn’t be invited.
Danny.
I guess Willis could be implying that they all have 3ds’ in secret.
Fuck I’m an idiot.
Also Sal is totally invite on account of how cool she is.
She prolly won’t show up though on account of how cool she is.
Silly Joyce, she should have had her party at a Walmart parking lot.
Friggin streetpass… once I start on a puzzle, I just get sucked into it and I’ll drop mad coins tryin to get that one puzzle piece I need. Either that or I’m dropp8n coins tryin to get that one Mii with that once white shirt so that they can use light magic on the room and I can leave… WHY DO I GET SUCKED INTO THESE THINGS SO EASILY??!?!?!?!?
Wow she would be the sort to get every piece except that one pink piece gaaah.
Yeah, I’m super happy they added the Helper Rabbit so I can just keep my existing 7-7 same color combo team.
Ooh. Sounds like Joyce is still trying to set Sarah up with Jacob. Probably wishing she could put the kibosh on that invite after recent developments though.
On the plus side, the invite list was made before the fight, so it won’t look like Joyce wanted Jacob to show up just to appease Sarah. And who knows, maybe he will cheer her up some…poor gal could use it after the beating Joyce gave her.
Maybe, but I highly suspect Sarah will be in her shell for the rest of the day, so to speak.
I don’t know why Amber hasn’t set up a home StreetPass relay by now.
Because that’s cheating, that’s why.
But we love Amber and we don’t get to see a lot of you anymore.
Where you go, I missed you so ,seems like it been forever since you’ve been gone please come back home~
I read the Alt Text.
FUCK YOU, WILLIS. BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR FANCY BOAT RIDES AND FLAUNTING YOUR WEBCOMIC MILLIONS.
SOME OF US HAVE TO WRITE IN CANOES LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE. JERK.
Okay, but did he do flips n shit?
(I am NOT linking that video!)
He did not say what KIND of boat… could be a cruise ship, could be a rowboat.
Writing a webcomic on a rowboat sounds like a frustrating task, unless you’re on a very calm lake.
Canoes? Luxury! I have to write while treading water, wearing boots filled with lead pellets!
So, Willis, are you on a boat, or on a motherf . . . ing boat?
the ultimate battle: Sarah vs Amber who can be the ultimate introvert.
WHOEVER WINS, I… also win.
#TeamIntrovert
That face!!!
Amber’s face in the first panel is precious.
“I HAVE NO TWIN!!!”
I think it’s more like “HOLY SHIT DOES SHE KNOW MY SECRET no wait, she just met me a moment ago in my own room, duh.”
Amber, I can relate. On multiple levels.
Man, I just go into town for my StreetPass hits. I get a lot of ’em as well- although recently there’s been a LOT of Americans. I don’t know why. Tourists I would assume, but my town (while near-ish to London) isn’t a huge tourist destination; nor would I assume it’s a popular time of year for travel.
A month or two ago there were a couple of weeks when we passed loads of Germans, so it’s not the first time… but it’s still odd!
(I totally have never ever gone out for the purpose of getting hits nope nosiree)
My eyes instantly zeroed in on Jacob’s pec cleavage as soon as I hit panel 2.
Ethan, you lucky idiot.
Oh, Ethan knows what he’s got. But living with someone you’re REALLY attracted to, but who probably isn’t attracted to you, can be a seriously mixed bag.
As Becky has been discovering.
I know, maybe Willis should do a story arc using that theme!
Why is Jacob invited? Joyce barely knows anything about him other than that he’s Ethan’s roommate.
she’s spent enough time in ethan’s room to provide jacob with zany joyce stories to bond with sarah over, so she knows him well enough to know she can be comfortable with him around.
She still wants to get him together with Sarah.
Plus, didn’t Jacob join Joyce, Ethan and Dorothy at lunch?
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Willis, Amber should know how to HomePass and avoid human interaction.
Ouch, you know what the worst part of this scene is? It’s the beginning where Jacob is on the invited list. It’s a party of only those Joyce knows well, so that she feels safe, but she invites a man she doesn’t know well. Why? Because she thinks he means a lot to Sarah. Joyce took this risk for her mental well-being in order to do right by her “big sister”, but she’s already poisoned this gesture with her careless words earlier.
That’s right in the feels there.
The fact that he’s Ethan’s roomie probably plays into it as well. Pointedly inviting one person in double but not the other was Not Good Form when I lived in the dorms, and Joyce is usually pretty polite. I suspect Sierra would have been invited if she’d been in the room when Becky spoke to Dorothy.
This is a party about people Joyce feels safe being around, politeness has nothing to do with it./ She’s spent enough time around Jacob to know he’s an okay guy.
Yeah, but that’s Becky’s intention. She doesn’t know all of Joyce’s social connections here, so she had Joyce make the guest list. And Joyce is the type to put politeness ahead of her own social comfort. Believe me, I know the type.
And note that Walky’s invite was delivered by proxy through Dorothy. Conveniently leaves Mike out of the loop – and he and Joe are probably the two guys Joyce would least like to see at a party, aren’t they?
Ryan…
Doesn’t live in the dorm, and I decline to claim him as a member of our gender anyway.
Besides, i liked Joyce and Mike together waliking to Gendrr Studies the day when mike crashed it.
The “Hail Satan” phonejacking incident probably shifted Mike down a few notches for her.
I am currently on my last week of campus housing ever, and I only managed to get around to StreetPassing in the past two semesters. I won’t really be able to do that afterwards.
What I’m saying is, take advantage of StreetPassing when you can. And go for the pink puzzle pieces first, those can’t be gotten with Play Coins.
Jacob is preventing the confrontation I thought was coming. Dumb fleshling.
OMG I NEED THAT PIECE SOOO BAD
“Soak up some facetime” ? Damn, that’s probably the first time I ever see that expression XD
Well, he and Sarah could have soaked up major face time but…. Is Sarah the reason Jacob wants to go to the party?
Nooooo, there is no twin to Amber on this campus.
Twins? Next thing Becky will be suggesting alternate dimensions. Crazy talk I say!
Amber really mirrors my girlfriend sometimes, or the other way around maybe?
Gosh Darnit! You lucky sumthin or other!!! I’m sooooooo jelly!
Has Joyce said jelly? Would she be prone to such language?
It depend whether she sometimes run out at night, in costume, to fight crime and ding dong bandits.
No no no, I meant Amber specifically, not the alter-ego. My girlfriend is amazing, but unfortunately she doesn’t have a touch of Amazi-Girl in her.
Ah…floating timelines, wonderful things, aren’t they?
I’m sorry, Amber, I just need to say…socialable isn’t a word, it’s sociable. Otherwise carry on, wonderful job, quite so!
I know it’s nitpicking, but isn’t ‘gotta’ an abbreviation for ‘got to’, as in “I got to go see the dentist.” or enslaving tiny superpowered animals to fight for our amusement?
Sure, but remember ‘twin’ is an intransitive verb meaning to grow as a composite crystal. “Holy butts, Amber. Do you have need to form two crystals at once, or do you permeate the entire universe?” Becky asks, her words rich in evocative metaphor.
It could also just be a dialect, I dunno.
In this case, it’s an evolution of bad grammar. “Do you have a twin,” becomes “Do you got a twin,” becomes “Do you gotta twin.”
I imagine it’s a pronunciation thing, like got to and got a would have a hard/real t, while gotta would have a soft t
Yay for Jacob! His is exactly my way of thinking when it comes to parties. I can, and have, done that same thing. haha
Hm, I really like where this storyline is headed. I have like this feeling of under-the-radar tension that will just build up and up and then blow up in a huge firework… I’m getting giddy!
Have I mentioned how gorgeous Jacob is? Gorgeous Jacob is gorgeous. If I were Sarah, I would also be a little nervous about dating him for just that reason. He looks like a heartbreak waiting to happen.
Why do you think she ran away?
Well, Sarah’s fear of rejection is usually an overreaction. But in this case, I’m saying, I’d have the same feeling.
Keep in mind that, according to Jacob, he is looking for a committed relationship. (This was after he and Sarah ran into Roz and Roz invited him to a party.)
That’s true (and I had forgotten it). But the description of his looks still holds!
What Amber isn’t telling anyone is – this is only the third time Ethan’s used this logic on her.
What day is this supposed to be in the Dumbiverse? I hope it’s a Friday because 9 PM is kinda late for a party to just be getting started if some people (like Sarah) are going to have be up-and-at-’em for classes the next morning.
It’s Saturday.
I’ve always had trouble understanding how Ethan and Amber were a couple so long without his sexuality becoming an issue earlier . . . but the last panel in this strip just made it so much easier to imagine!
Oh, no. Becky is starting to show signs of Butts Disease! Quick, someone isolate her and call the CDC before it becomes more serious or it spre – BUTTS!
I’m with Amber. I hate when people try to make me sociable.
Streetpass is pretty much how I get my wife to go to cons.
I just need that image of Amber of the last panel. It woudl be my keychain, a badge, my cellphone case and more.
