2016 has a really sick sense of humour, a few days ago it scares everyone with Carrie Fisher having a heart attack, then hits us with the death of George Michael today...He was only 53 years old.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=555 OK, this is getting ridiculous. Though I guess it wouldn't be hijinks if it wasn't.

Tensaided, the child and mother, only saw a very confident and strange woman striding past, there's no indication that they were in view when Rhoda and Catalina started changing again. Also it seems like they avoided Diane and Lucy completely as we haven't seen any reaction from them.

With their luck, there probably wasn't anyone around. The only person that's possibly so far seen anything noteworthy has been Akiko, and it'll probably stay that way.

Hmm it just occurred to me that this pinup may be related to this comic. However, I think Dan really missed a golden opportunity to follow up on this page instead and it would have been canonical, in Catalina's dreams that is.

Then I guess Highlander II also fits?

Do paracanonical fantasies by the author count as fanfiction? I'm not sure, has any author done fanfiction of their own material before?

I have post nasal drip that's wreaking havoc on my throat, in the past...oh.. two hours, my voice has gone almost full Christian Bale Batman on me. Edit: According to someone on Teamspeak, I sound more like Brad Garret. Brad's the tall one for those that don't know.

Probably because he was Blonde for Grace's birthday, but that would have been because it was a custom form and not based on the default form, whereas the FV and MV forms are just physical enhancements of the default form. I dunno, it's hard to tell because he's turned in panel three but it could still be "stock" Justin. MV5 really bulked him up so panel 2 would need to still be on the beefy side.

I doubt it, I would thing a forced reset would be more dramatic. Pandora's description of it and the whole "Any Immortal who breaks Immortal law has a minute tops before they reset" makes me think that an Immortal would feel it happening. I do think there's a possibility that Pandora will end up resetting when this is all over though. And we'll see a younger (as in actual age rather than physically looking like a kid) "Box" carrying out Pandora's vow in helping Sarah learn magic.

While I understand that there's a bigger issue between Pandora and Adrian over Pandora's actions in the past year, I do feel that the Dex issue is significant, Adrian is blaming her for that when she very likely wasn't even involved at all. Really makes me wonder if Voltaire wasn't just trying to traumatize Tedd, but maybe create an even larger rift between Pandora and Adrian? What would happen if Adrian got killed by the vampires? We already know that Pandora wiped out the werewolves over Blaike's death, will she fly into an even greater rage and go after all aberrations? If she finds out that another Immortal orchestrated the whole thing, will she attempt to kill all other Immortals? Maybe it will be worse than that...

I'd like to think that after his talk with Susan about it, he's no longer thinks of it as a possible workaround for getting guys to like him and just have fun with it. That doesn't really fit Dan's description of it but then again, the whole thing doesn't really fit anyway. Then again we haven't seen Justin jumping at the chance to be zapped (by Tedd or Ellen) or use a watch to transform in canon since Grace's birthday so I dunno.

I think the whole sequence is almost like Justin is saying "I make both genders look good".

You know, when I saw "Teddy Hammer" I immediately thought Tedd would have to be involved. Is that bad?

It all boils down to perception, and recognizing that Pandora's statements doesn't sound like something that a Immortal who lured Noah away from Justin at school so that he would go to Salty Crackers later for when the Dragon showed up. If that was Pandora's doing, I would have expected her to say "there was that one time that I needed Noah to be there to help Cheerleadra, but any other time was all him" no, the way she was talking about it says that she had no hand in that whole event beyond the initial marking of Dex and heck, that may be in question as well if it was Voltaire that also marked Dex.

There was Elliot-Cheerleadra-Heidi, it was normal to enhanced to another form of enhanced but it was rapid fire. There was also Elliot's rapid morphing prior to his interview with Tensaided though we didn't see much of the actual process of it. Also, I think those shorts are hanging on for dear life on f!Justin

The only other alternative would be Magics flair for the dramatic and possibly trolling, or just a gentle nudge (or rather kick in the rear) saying "hey! you don't read your spellbook so here's an awkward moment where you find out about it." Cheerleadra 2.0 (and the cellphone merge) would be Magic increasing the awkwardness.

But, Elliot had already morphed before going to bed, that should have taken care of the energy that had built up and slowed the buildup of more energy. Also there were no other cases of him accidentally morphing while asleep after that and we know he was still having the buildups months later. Elliot's subconscious triggered the spell which would be more a sign of an undisciplined mind than whacked out energy buildups.

I don't think she'd have done that in the past, but Magus' appearance might have given her the idea.

Considering dreams causing spells to be cast is canon. I wouldn't be surprised if Susan didn't summon fairies or something in her sleep.

Noah is listening in, I wonder if he'll interject before Pandora leaves and mention Dex and the pendant. To clarify, Pandora hasn't said anything here to suggest that she's claiming responsibility for Dex summoning the fire golems and the dragon. What she has admitted to was giving people marks and that Noah has just been running around getting involved in the stuff that happens. I'm hoping Noah has remembered that someone was guiding Dex through the incident at the dojo and believe that someone couldn't have been Pandora.

It still makes sense if Edward was trying to make it sound like Grace was just another attempt to create the perfect assassin. If Edward had said that Guineas, Hedge and Vlad were created at the same time and Grace was a couple years later, it'd make it seem like there was something special about Grace, saying her brothers were created in intervals would have blended her in with them better. He certainly has been more up front with them since that incident, I think he's also realized that the main eight are very likely to find out things on their own whether he's involved or not so he figures he might as well try to guide them as best he can. Though I wouldn't say that was the last case. While Nanase and Ellen have learned some things, I think there's still much that Edward hasn't disclosed about what happened between him and Noriko, let alone what he's told Tedd about it.

That may be, but I was not referring to the explanation itself, rather that Edward did infiltrate the lab. If he did so, he most likely would not want/be allowed to have a high rank (higher ranks draw attention), and so not "in the need to know". Note that Edward became friends with Dr Sciuridae and promised to help Grace if she was in trouble. I think it's likely Edward knew the truth about Grace, but created the cover story he told to Grace and the others because he hoped they could take care of the Damien problem without Grace getting involved. Basically as long as Grace didn't know she was created to kill Damien, she wouldn't feel obligated to do so. It is also possible that Edward wasn't the head of the paranormal division at the time of his infiltrating the facility, though I wouldn't be surprised if his work on that got him the job shortly after since he was certainly the head a couple years later. No clue?? I'm really thinking more on Jeremy and his abilities than anything else. However, as speculation, Max may have escaped and been picked up by Raven from the streets, as Raven himself would almost certainly not allow this unusual creature to be seen by those who are unaware of magic. If Grace was 13 when Edward infiltrated the facility she was created in, that would have been roughly around the time that Tedd got the TFG from William and Gillian, Tedd had been working on it for 4 years by the time Grace came to live with him. So that there is proof that Edward and Noriko's divorce was long before an considering Adrian blames himself for their divorce, him and Edward's falling out would be that long ago as well.

So either Pandora does know about Noah fighting the dragon, or she's just assuming Noah did something that Adrian's blaming her for. I'm strongly leaning to the latter because if Pandora knew about the dragon and Dex, that would put into question Voltaire's claim of being the one responsible. Of course Adrian made the mistake of not actually saying what Noah got involved in, so Pandora doesn't even know that she has an actual defense for it. She might not have been able to get anyone to kill Abraham, it's possible she's made an attempt (or several) and Magus' refusal was just another failed attempt, hence the tantrum. I think we all expected that Pandora would have gone into a rage over Blaike's death and done whatever she could to kill the werewolf that killed him, killing all the werewolves seems excessive but she likely convinced herself that doing so would prevent others from experiencing what she experienced. Adrian certainly doesn't approve of it.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=554 Last panel looks like they've returned to their original size, now the question is, is there more? Of course there has to be more. Did anyone see them? Are the other enchantments going to do something funny? Will Rhoda discover she has yet another spell to help get them out of the mall?
