    I still suspect that the threat given to Zeus, even after he explained why he was in Susan's room was a little more than "I'll hurt you".  More like "I'll force a reset on your ass".

    Might still have been lenient compared to what she could have done if she had caught Voltaire before she was reset.

    I suspect it was "tear him to shreds" not just hurt.

    She might have if she initially assumed Zeus was involved in the earlier mall incident. I think it was good that she chose to question him first rather than just rip him apart.

    Closest to explicitly say it would probably be here. He's actually warmed up to her a little before your link ... but still, he's doing all that "ally" stuff just because he must, and feels about this obligation exactly how would one expect from teenager.

    I'm pretty certain he's not calling Susan (or Elliot for that matter) clumsy though, either he's calling himself that because he almost got discovered if he spilled the soda and realized he wasn't disguised well enough, or that spill was already there and he's cursing himself for making a bigger deal out of it than he needed too, I mean seriously, the worst that would happen is Susan steps in it and it gets on her shoes and if her shoes have good soles on them, there shouldn't be much danger of slipping.

    Zeus was also clearly in panic mode at the time because Pandora had caught him at Susan's and threatened to hurt him if anything bad happened, so it's not that he's mad about Susan, it's the situation he's in.

    When I said I don't believe Elliot is able to say that, I totally underestimated how he can weaponize his incompetence.

    He actually managed to confuse Susan with his explanation enough she didn't get more from him before she realized she doesn't actually want to talk about it.

    He did get the "nothing you can do has changed, but there are some other changes out there.  Tedd knows more, but it's about The Night In Question".  Once she heard that she was willing to wait.  I don't thinks she was confused.

    I present following counterpoint: "Other things?"

    Elliot calls this method "incompetence" but it's actually a really smart way of handling this, as I said before, Elliot knows that Susan doesn't want to get into detail about what happened that night so she said just enough to ease Susan's fear of losing her magic, but at the same time letting Susan know "there's more to it but it involves stuff you don't want to talk about yet so we'll leave it at that."

    Was it spelled Blaike? I got hits like that for Blake.

    Here's the page of the "Blaike as a surname" origin, and it even mentions that the rules of spelling were quite lacking in ye olde times, so variations of the name existed but generally they were the same family.

    I got a ton of baby name sites, which are of questionable accuracy1 using the Blaike spelling.  Just for what it's worth, it's split almost exactly 50/50 as to being a boy or girl name.

    Blaike as a first name was found on a baby naming site as well, the only real info I got from it is confirming that it's of English origin.

    The in canon answer would be England, France or Germany, based on what Pandora says here.  I think we can safely assume that the United States isn't where he is from.

    Did a search and Blaike is apparently an anglo-saxon name from the Yorkshire region meaning Black or Dark (like German Dunkel), of course in this case we're looking at it being a first name but it still seems to be anglo-centric in its usage so my guess is that Blaike Raven was born in England, being an adventurer though, he might not have been in England at the time Adrian was born, France of Germany wouldn't be out of the question as a place of birth, I guess it would depend on where Blaike and Pandora decided to settle down to raise Adrian.

    Of all the "it must be a character that we know" options this one makes the most sense.

    That being said, assuming The Dan keeps to his normal bag of tricks, it's a new character.

     

    If we're thinking Immortals here, I gave my reason for it not being Zeus already.

    Pandora thinks highly of Grace because of how good she's been for Tedd, but also Susan's family so that likely keeps even her new incarnation out.

    Hanma thinks highly of Susan for being her guide in making sure her boardgame was morally good and such.

    Voltaire.....would be much worse than this.

    Helena and/or Demetrius the debate rages on as to whether these two are good or bad, I just don't see them doing something like this naturally, besides it seems like they'd have spent enough time at Tedd's place (because of Elliot visiting) to likely know about Grace's opinion on nudity.

    ... wait. Suddenly, the option of that character being ZEUS started to make lot of sense to me. He IS established enough to provide better payoff, he knows both Susan and Grace BUT may not know about Grace's nudity (Jerry likely didn't considered it worth mentioning, IF he knew that himself) and as fairy, there would be reason why he would have meta knowledge.

    Only thing about Zeus is he'd have to disregard his vow as Susan's ally in order to not only talk to Susan like this, but favor Grace more than Susan.

    I don't think Noah, being part Uryuom himself, would mind.

    That really depends, I don't think being part Uryuom has anything to do with it, it's just they their society as a whole doesn't frown upon it. If Noah grew up being told to get dressed (Noah stated that his father was bitter, might have been pretty strict too) Noah might have developed a sense that nudity was bad, where as Grace likely didn't get that, well, she might have been told that she needed to wear clothes, but never told why and never in a tone that suggested that it was bad to not wear clothes.

    I'm not sure if Duck, Bill, Drake or Larry would be really that much better payoff than new character.

    For Duck, Bill and Drake, they can be the type that, given their age, would become infatuated with pretty girls like Grace, we know Duck had a thing for Nanase for a while. We have the "Fun at Work" show how they can be with Grace, heck Drake would fit here best of the three, considering you don't see Ducks eyes at all and Bill isn't as thin as this character.

    I don't think Noah even knows about Susan, so, yeah, assuming it a proxy for an established character, which is not likely given The Dan's habit of making new characters at random, it has to be some one that knows both schools, so a Salty Cracker employee or patron is the best bet.

    The reason I don't think this is a completely knew character, is the fact that Dan is setting this character up as someone who knows Susan and Grace, not very well as evidence by their reaction to Grace having a thing for nudity, but well enough to know the types of characters they'd be in a game. I feel that this being an established character would result in a better payoff when the reveal is made, especially since we're spending all this time trying to guess, maybe it's someone we didn't consider but should have been obvious?  A brand new character wouldn't have that effect.

    Salty Cracker patrons also consist of people we know, Duck, Bill, Drake, Larry, etc might fit.

     

    Someone on Discord also mentioned that a reason it couldn't be Noah is that the character used a contraction and Noah hasn't been known to use them. However my counter argument to that is we Noah has stated that he speaks that way because it helps him focus and not lose his temper, the character we see has clearly lost their temper. As far as how they'd know each other though, either this is set ahead of current canon past the point where they have met (I would assume that if Susan and Diane were to finally talk to Adrian, they'd likely learn that he had adopted Noah) or because of this being a noncanon setting, the rules of who knows who don't apply at all.

    Here is.

    I think that the dialog from the cloaked character should eliminate Noah as being the cloaked character.

     

    Not entirely sure, I mean, I don't think Noah would call Rhoda "Short-McPuppy-Girl" but at the same time Noah also thinks very highly of Grace while also not knowing everything about Grace, like the fact that Grace is ok with nudity, I'm not sure how Noah would actually react if he found out about that in canon.

    The real sticking point, and really why this is so confusing, is if this is a character who we've seen before, they'd also have to be someone that Grace and Susan know mutually and the person would have to know just enough but not everything about Grace and Susan, like Susan's "Hammer Queen" title is fairly known at MNHS but not likely at MSHS so that probably narrows things down to maybe people that frequent Salty Crackers? cus Grace works there and Susan's been known to hang out there visiting Justin.

    Another idea floating around Discord that this is further evidence that this is a dream and this character frequently enters people's dreams similarly to how Disco Wizard and Pandora entered Grace's dreams, maybe the character has been in a number of Grace's "video game dreams" before?

    Since I had my lawn work done, somebody with in close ear shot has done their lawn every day as well.  Saturday was the worse with my next door to the east neighbour doing theirs, which was loud enough to make EtC go and hide for a while.  Right now the vacant lot across the  street is being done and they need to get a muffler on their riding lawn mower.

    Today has been warm enough to have my window open, however it's apparently also been nice enough of a day for the street cleaners to be out doing their thing. Mind you with the low level of traffic due to people staying home except for going out to get groceries, it's probably the best time to do street maintenance.

    Though there's also this one guy that's been going back and forth through town on a lawn tractor towing a roller behind him so there's that noise too.

    Eh, I did not catalog them all. Rescue Rangers are Disney, Chip and Dale do the Donald thing, Monty wears a full set of clothes, and Gadget wears a jump suit. Chip is definitely the odd one, as he wears a bomber jacket, for protection against cold at altitude; but none of the other characters address this, so it must not be an issue, and wouldn't his legs be cold as well. See, this is what happens when you let rodents fly airplanes, they wear just about anything they damn well please.

    Monty certainly looks pantless here.

    Likely, next comic.

    About the only thing that would keep it from being right away is if Elliot insists that all Susan needs to know is that she doesn't need to worry about losing her fairies anymore and that she's still under no obligation to talk about stuff, and Susan being ok with it. Or something along those lines that basically prolongs when they'll actually talk about stuff.

    Sort of? It's in the ballpark. However, Susan is giving signs of being open at the moment, it would be a good time to broach the subject. Her even showing up says something changed (and, if you recall her conversation with Diane about opening up, it actually has).

    Sure Susan might be getting closer to opening up and telling everyone, I'm pretty certain she will before the end of this party. Elliot hasn't picked up on that though, she'd rather wait for Susan to actually say that she's ready.

    I'm not quite sure how a granddaughter and a grand godson are related.  It would be good point of contact regardless.

    Adrian is both Diane's father, and Tedd's god-father. If Tedd were to mention anything about Pandora's visit, it'd remind Susan and Diane of their experience.

    There is overlap in almost all of the stories.  Even Sarah has stories to tell, mainly about Pandora (or Box as she was know to Sarah) but may have stuff to add about  Adrian due to her talking to him after the fact as a friend of his mother.

    Yeah, Sarah's experience with Pandora and her knowing that Adrian is her son would end up going into Susan and Diane's territory pretty quick as well.

    Really, Tedd and Sarah, Elliot and Ellen, Susan and Diane, everything that happened to each of them are all connected, each pair has a piece of the puzzle and if any one pair was to mention their piece, the other 2 are going to fall into place.

    You left out Tedd's personal story about the change in magic.

    Tedd's story actually overlaps with Susan's and Diane's, since Pandora was involved, Tedd knows what Pandora did, she just doesn't know that Pandora's related to Susan and Diane.

    Actually Tedd and Diane bonding at this party (with Diane being comfortable with Tedd being female, whether she knows Tedd's transformed or not, and now collaborating in making Justin a female form) could be a good precursor to the reveal that they're god-siblings.

    Elliot is overreacting, just tell her already.

    Elliot's reacting based on the fact that Susan had made it clear that she'll tell them about what happened when she's ready, because Elliot is Elliot, she's thinking that bringing up the magic change will leading into that territory and that Susan might feel forced to reveal stuff before she'd ready or that she'll just leave the party. Elliot had made the decision to let Susan open up on her own terms but feels she's in danger of going against that decision.

    The first impression is great. If you look at it too long, you might notice jarring details. The cup is too small (or is she a giant? No, the seat looks normal). That appears to be smaller than anything I've seen sold. Her left boob is misshapen, there is a bulge pointing skyward toward above the cup, at about two o'clock. It does not lay right, should be more like four o'clock. The leggings; well perhaps remnants of transformed pants, so they at a pass, until she stands up. The hair, too massive, it's still expanding as it flows off behind the arm of the couch. The degrees of upper and lower skimpification are inconsistent. But, maybe, 'reasons'.

    Granted, there are many of Dan's comics that are less realistic, but they come with more of a buy-in to some mechanism, that in context makes sense. This, as a one off, appears to have one transformative element, and it does not justify the anomalies.

    I agree with your first impression, though.

    A lot of what you see could be the result of the perspective we're given, as in the viewer is looking up from the floor. So her boobs might look differently than they would if we were looking from above or at an even level.

    Doing a search of common coffee cup sizes, it seems like they'd range from 4oz to 32oz. Considering we know magic tea has cumulative effects, I would not be surprised if the Tea Shop would sell a 4oz cup for people that would only like minor changes. Sarah either has a 6oz cup or an 8oz cup in her hand and the first cup she drank probably gave her the equivalent of an FV5 figure, and this second cup is like if Ellen had zapped herself, of course I don't think the resize ability of Ellen's beam would do to her clothes what the tea is doing to Sarah's.
