  1. Story, September Monday 26 2016

    Maybe Voltaire needs to "get lucky" with Pandora? This is starting to sound reminiscent of the Q civil war which ends with Q and Q making a baby.
  2. Story, September Monday 26 2016

    Maybe a system change would allow for Immortals to change the rules? Or Voltaire's thinking a system change would render the current rules useless? Still not sure where Elliot fits, but Voltaire dragging Adrian into it could probably be meant as an insurance policy to make sure Pandora continues her plan to make magic public
  3. Story, September Monday 26 2016

    Is it too late to visit the theory that Voltaire hasn't reset in over 200 year either? Because he's certainly sounding like he's become bored and frustrated.

    In fact, just today, I saw a guy and girl whom I think were around my age wearing costumes. Cosplaying is the mundane conclusion and the one most people are likely to reach unless they see the transformation itself and not the aftermath. Because the transformation wasn't a complete one, people would just think that the two recently visited the Halloween Shop and picked up a set of cat ears and a tail. This does take place a few days before Halloween. Yeah, that is odd, unless she did notice but is waiting for when they're away from people to point it out. It's like "Ok this is probably magic at work, but no one is freaking out about it so it's not like I accidentally shrank her or anything." I noticed, she's also in the college girl clothes. It is strange that she would be seemingly back in her original form (well original adult form) when she marked Catalina, and then switch to a hybrid form, at the end of Marker she's not wearing the glasses but still in the hybrid form, which wouldn't make sense if she's remained just outside the mortal plane this whole time. BTW, that food service worker in the first 2 panels reminds me a lot of Raven Pritchard from Questionable Content.
  5. http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=516 I think we can safely say that Tedd isn't the fastest accidental use of a spell after being marked. At the very least they're tied.
  6. Things that make you sad.

    I don't know how many forum goers here are into golf to any degree, but 2016 strikes again with the death of one of golf's greats Arnold Palmer. He pretty much made it possible for anyone to pick up a set of clubs and drive for the Masters.
  7. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    Ellen also has all of Elliot's memories too, so she's able to draw from both, the movie references were most likely Elliot's memories considering Ellen also knew about "American Cake" though in that case Nanase was the one that insisted on watching it because she never seen it. The Charlies Angels was another thing that Nanase never seen before that Elliot would have and so Ellen would know the reference to. Basically the gag was Nanase never got to see a lot of movies because her mom insisted she study more rather than waste time watching movies. Mama Kitsune must not have known the details of the martial arts classes Nanase was taking or she might have pulled her out of that, or maybe she did know and she knew it was building Nanase's magic power up so allowed it, I dunno.
  8. More Speculation.

    I didn't jump on that bandwagon but yes it did provide fuel for speculation, but considering his last appearance has Sirleck planning to use Adrian as bait, such a switch hasn't been made, so it's back to the original plan.
  9. More Speculation.

    But since there hasn't been anything in the comic to suggest that Sirleck has changed plans, we have to assume that he still intends on helping Magus get back into the physical realm with the intention of possibly possessing Magus afterwards. The only difference at this point, is Voltaire has fed Sirleck misinformation about the two Immortals and so Sirleck believes that using Adrian as bait would distract them.
  10. NP, Friday September 23, 2016

    I did say that the cupcake stuff was lojinks, not hijinks, and Catalina sprouting cat ears and a tail is so far midjinks, when the hijinks happens depends on how quickly things escalate from here.
  11. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    At the moment, Elliot has a one up on Ellen in that department, at least for languages that they're confirmed to know, Elliot knows Uryuomoco which he learned from William when him and Gillian visited Tedd's to get their human forms. We have yet to see Ellen bust out any other languages, but yeah there is a bunch of stuff that she could have learned in the second life (aside from history that's a given) that Elliot never got around to learning.
  12. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    So, Elliot didn't know that Dunkel was German for Dark, and only vaguely guessed that his ancestors were european, meanwhile Ellen in her second life dreams, attended what appeared to be an Oktoberfest event where she's dressed in a dirndl, so I'm wondering if alt-Ellen's family was more into family history than prime-Elliot's family. I do get that Oktoberfest isn't a german only event these days, my brother will be attending one in a few weeks and our family is mainly scottish/english/french, but his lady friend is from a german family and is planning to dress up for it so that means my brother is looking for lederhosen. Still, in alt-Ellen's case it could go either way but I don't want to consider it a coincidence too easily.
  13. Things That Are Just Annoying

    This image comes to mind, you were Tedd and your boss was Susan.
  14. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    True, the increased energy would have likely been something Pandora caused 14 years ago and could have been to help either Adrian or Tedd, but making magic public wasn't the idea at the time.
  15. NP, Friday September 23, 2016

    No no, the whole bit about Rhoda's spell and frolicking in cupcake frosting was the lojinks, now we're starting into the midjinks.
  16. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    I also think it might be telling that the scene goes from Edward talking about enlisting friends immediately to Pandora taunting Magus about being "sent off running by forgetful fools".
  17. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    What I was trying to say, was Adrian hasn't given any indication that he's aware of any other plots Pandora was involved in prior to her announcement to him that she was going to "destroy the world" for him, and I still believe that the energy clog was created shortly after that and that whole plan is completely separate from Pandora's "egg" announcement 2 years earlier, the "egg" was something Pandora decided to do out of boredom, helping Adrian was a new focus for her. Yeah, but when there's are existing characters with very vague backstories, it makes one wonder how they fit into the story, Helena and Demetrius are such characters, we have no idea why they are watching over Elliot, why they were in France possibly following Nanase or Susan, how they were reset, etc. They're important to the story, but we don't know why, Edward's mention of "friends" could be the only hint we have.
  18. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    Except Edward and Adrian would have had their falling out years before Edward mentions the friends, so I don't think he would have given Adrian a second thought about it. And considering Adrian hadn't seen his mother for 14 years prior to her visit in the hospitial, it would appear he did not have knowledge of her appearance in the forest a couple years earlier.
  19. NP, Friday September 23, 2016

    It does look like Catalina plumped up a little even though there's no visual cues to the change as with the appearance of the ears and tail. OTOH, frame 1 looks a little flat for most of Dan's depictions of Catalina... She is also wearing a bulky sweater and her reaction in the second panel could have just made them more noticeable. If you look back a few pages, they're more noticeable in panel 1 than they are in panel 3.
  20. NP, Friday September 23, 2016

    With Tedd, the mark could have been placed anytime between when we see Pandora with him, and just before Tedd's round with Rich, Tedd played a round with Sam between those moments so if he was marked when we see Pandora with him, then possibly up to an hour had passed before he used the spell
  21. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    Considering after the initial encounter with Pandora in the woods, Edward states that he's going to "enlist in the assistance of friends" and that "there's a reason he knows so much about Immortals", I'm thinking that those "friends" are Immortals, I still want to say that it's Helena and Demetrius, because it would make sense why they would have been following Nanase to France and why they're watching Elliot, but I'm not entirely sure since Elliot probably has mention them appearing at the mall already and Edward would have said something. So either they're not the "friends" or they haven't gotten around to mention their involvement yet.
  22. What Are You Ingesting?

    Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.
  23. More Speculation.

    Yeah, there was nothing about what Sirleck said there that would suggest that he's considering Adrian as a possible host, just bait in his plan to distract Helena and Demetrius.
  24. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    Voltaire also said "Plan A would have gotten the job done with one murder." which implied that whatever goal Voltaire was trying to achieve, killing Elliot would have been enough to get the desired effect. Plan B or CM would imply possibly murdering multiple people. I get the feeling that Plan A was trying to use a sniper rifle to take out a specific target, Plan CM is grabbing the machine gun and spraying a crowded room. Whatever Sirleck's going to do, sounds like it's going to do a fair lot of damage and casualties and there's a good chance the Main Eight will be in the middle of it.
  25. Story: Friday, September 23, 2016

    Plan A was most definitely murder. I still say that Voltaire can agree to almost anything at this point, his visit was part of Plan CM but not the entirety of it, he's already got Sirleck fed with misinformation about Adrian, and vampires are in town keeping Helena and Demetrius jumping back and forth. Voltaire's visit is basically to wash his hands of it.
