This scene does indeed still amuse me perhaps more than it should, I must admit, with the "PLEASE, OH PLEASE STOP HITTING YOURSELF" line being a personal favorite.
If any commenting nitpickers have quibbles about the mechanics of this story's beatdown, rest assured that Emp will shortly (if briefly and sketchily) explain her reasoning.
Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out
more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12,
I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that
won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. So, who knows what
today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed
Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per
month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design
departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on
fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste
and the Chained. Golly!
