I wasn’t sure how many people would know Eliot Ness, so I made sure to throw Batman in there as another example of a detective that sometimes has to get rough with how he gets answers.

Heh, another would be John Hartigan (Sin City).
She didn’t read Sherlock Holmes during her last visit?
In literature, detectives goes back further, 3500 years ago (in Ancient Egypt). For example Lieutenant Bak from “The Right Hand of Amon”.
DOOOOOOM XD
good night… “hun”? >w>
Either she’s picking up certain US slang, or she’s turning into a comet.
The Untouchables 🙂
Yuki about to assert her authority with the local supernaturals ain’t she?
I just got the Eric Cartman “respect my authority” in my head just now
FWIW, “Untouchables” rank up there with “U Can’t Touch This”.
By the way, wonder why Kate won’t touch that call button? Is Yuki still on the list for Kate’s harem!?
“Really” old-fashioned detective work was basically ‘hurt a suspect until they confess to whatever you want’…
I wonder how much reading she’ll do once this is over.
so fingernail pulling combined with a truth spell.

I have no idea where all this hostility / caution is coming from?
The guy was doing his job. He is probably a cleric of higher power, in a foreign nation, and so far done exactly nothing to you. Whatever the spirit suggested to him means nothing, because words are just words, not actions. And they are not the words of a guy, but of spirit. Who was sent forcibly to their waterfall by the said guy. Who, and I must stress it, was polite to Kate and just politely asked her to remain silent in a potentialy threatening situation.
I am really confused by this whole situation.
You read what he said completely incorrectly then, he was saying “You were being a good woman by staying quiet and ruined it by opening your mouth.” Also, words are not just words. We use our words to mean things. They aren’t just meaningless strings of characters. If you hear people planning to blow up a ship you are going to be on, and in the event that ship blows up- is it fair to say “I think those people saying they were going to blow up the ship may have had something to do with the ship blowing up-“?
Context matters, and the context here was people speaking in another language, one trying to convince the other to murder them, seriously, he wasn’t joking, he was saying it was in all of their best interest to murder him by sinking a cruise ship. Kate and Phil were not around to see him banish the spirit.
Thank you for explaining. It is not the first time I am missing the context in such cases.
Obviously I am just a random nobody, and I like your comics, hence why I am commented, because I was confused. I am still confused, but, at the same time, it will not be the first time in my life. I never was good and never will be at reading between the lines.
I am just a stupid simple man getting things at the face value. I thought he was being polite.
Cheers, have a good day.
Alright I get it, some people have a tough time understanding context and social cues. If you have trouble with something just say so- I’ll explain it. Thanks for reading and I hope you can enjoy it, and feel free to ask for help if something is confusing because as someone who not only makes the story and uses a lot of context and specific wording to mean certain things, I cannot easily see things from a perspective like yours. There are plenty of people that have the same issue too so if you ask it could help them too.
Re social cues: some of them are spoken, such as word tempo, inflection, and emphasis, as well as gestural, both on purpose and unconscious; none of which comes through on unmoving pictures. Narrative text, however, can definitely clue us in.
