    Are we sure Edward never got Grace any damned counseling?  Could it have been off-panel, perhaps during a time-skip?

    Do we know that for certain?  Did we ever learn anything about her lepusko parent?

    Also, her grandfather  is still around and occasionally checking up on her.

    He's not protected, though, against the authorities deciding in a panic to crack down on his being allowed to even possess (working or non) tech. It could be an uphill battle for him to be allowed to re-establish magic..who says the authorities (I'm looking at you, Arthur) really want him to succeed?

    1) We don't know how many Uryuoms are on Earth and how much technology they brought. It IS possible there are no other Cosmetic Morphing Devices on Earth except the gun Tedd has, the other gun Tedd has, the TF gun Edward has somewhere hidden for case Tedd makes some trouble with his gun, the gun Arthur Arthur has for same purpose and the two TF guns the team who is verifying Tedd's research have. However, yes, it is unlikely ; in fact, I suspect Lavender has some non-standard CMD as well.

    Still, the TF gun Tedd has might be the only one Vladia is allowed to know about.

    2) I'm not entirely sure standard CMD would be able to make Vladia male. Sure, the form was preloaded on Tedd's TF gun, but we don't know if it works on standard CMD as well.

    It definitely seems that way, but I'm sure if she wouldn't be sexy the decision would be harder.

    Wait wait, "being human at heart" is THIRD way to be human, unrelated to looking as human and feeling as human. And, apparently Vlad had some of that because without it, he wouldn't go for the way out.

    (Also, I'm sure calling this "being human at heart" is speciesism and both Adrian and uryuoms would have right to protest.)

     

    The way that they would protest is to claim the saying should be "Uryuom at heart" or "Elvish at heart", since the point of the saying is that those can be close to the same thing.

    How about quarter-immortal grandchildren being impossible now, because some very ancient reset changed the way mortals used to have children by/with magic, and the immortals  chose to forget because the loss of families is too heartbreaking to remember? Especially if, say, immortal/immortal reproduction is difficult because two doses of chaotic magic is really rough on growing lifeforms...

    I am certain that there will never be a plot element in EGS that revolves around Ellen in a position where she must use her magic with the wrong hand.

    What about martial arts habits that say, "If your center of balance is here and your target is there, use this hand."?

    It's a chance you take with any therapist in the Real World.  They aren't interchangeable and they have to establish a rapport with their patient to be effective. 

    Anybody that is highly judgemental of Tedd isn't going to get any useful work done with him.  Ed Verres ought to understand that at least.

    There are an awful lot of people in the real world who expect a therapist to force the patient to be normal under threat of turning them over to the authorities for punishment, and not a few "therapists" that think so too. Sadly, a big proportion of the therapists working for the government might have that problem.

    I strongly suggest that you take the entire topic to the Off Topic forum and start a new thread there. Please phrase your concerns as clearly and politely as you can and I at least will do my best to answer.

    May I request an example of a link (with appropriate warnings about content disallowed in this forum which is allowed in the off-season topic forum) to that location?

    I'd be surprised if it doesn't end with Grace realizing that there's a security camera. ;)

    Didn't Justin hint that the existing "security camera" at Salty Crackers was a bluff (probably a security camera case with no electronics)?

    Last line of last panel sums up a reason why being gender-fluid would matter -- if part of who you are is only accessable from one side and part is only accessable from the other, being able to change is necessary to being all of yourself.

    I'm thinking it's Sam as well, that caveat is actually irrelevant. You're probably thinking that it is because Sam is trans male and Elliot only has female transformations (aside from the cat form, and Elliot should be able to get some male transformations at some point now that magic's sorted out with him), but the person messaging Elliot doesn't know that, they're probably just thinking "if a guy could transform into a girl, then a girl must be able to transform into a guy, what Elliot knows might work for both genders."

    The logic is probably that if Elliot can become Cheerleadra more than once then he must have some way to change back ( from female to male) in-between.

    Not sure what has Chuck Norris to do with Charles of Wales, but the difference is that Adrian nor Pandora are not AWARE of this. Elizabeth II is perfectly aware.

    I'm pretty sure outliving lot of Heirs Apparent speaks more about family relationships than about who's fictional. Even in most fictional settings children usually outlive their parents unless some accident happens (like, falling from stairs with dagger in back or being trampled to death by enraged elephant).

    ... I feel I'm missing some obvious reference ...

    ... you mean Elliot doesn't?

    And way to touch without being touched.

    Of course, if she does "go first person" she will feel things (be "touched back") right through the spell. It would be ironic if she got used to being held in someone's hand before she got used to holding hands.

    Moperville Mall Security had "Code Spooky" in their operating procedures.

    It seems that unusual stuff keeps happening around Moperville.  So far, it doesn't seem like anyone outside the usual suspects have pieced together that the Verres-Kitsune family connection is the magnet that pulls all this together.

    We don't at this time actually know that the main cast comprises most of the "code spooky" reports, just the ones that concern Verres Senior the most. Especially after all the marking recently, there could be a lot that doesn't become undeniable enough to hit the news, or that Mr.  Verres can easily explain away.

    Since one of the special powers Tedd/Tess gets with the title of "seer" is to remove enchantments, if he isn't limited to him/herself that ability could work on a lot of things. We already know that abberations can't survive as humans ever again, and immortals might be as dependent on magic as humans are on mater. So "removing" hostile magical beings might be part of the office, perhaps to clean up who- or what-ever caused a system change.

    Someone who has been misusing magic to try and kill mortals might really want Tess/Tedd too traumatized to carry out his/her duty...

    To me, Tess here is pushing the limits of what I care to see; she's way to close to being unidentifiable as the Tess/Tedd we have grown to like, more like watching a random  character transform. 

    I think the "tell" that is critically missing is her expression -- Tess/Tedd would be ecstatic not in the stressed, almost frenetic way this pose shows, but in a more comfortable way, relaxed and contented with the transformation.

    That is easy to disprove. Just arrange for still another duplicate and have all three show in public at the same time.

    ...

    ...what? >.>

    Just have everyone that can "do" Cheerleaders appear all together, and say it's the standard "uniform" for anyone super powered who doesn't have their own unique super identity yet. The very short skirt is to encourage new supers to get their own costumes as soon as they can.

    The "sighting" rumor could have been started by something as simple as a Tweet. It's more Edward's style. Hey, pretty much the same methods have kept Elvis alive for four decades now.

    Elvis has the advantage that multiple Elvis impersonator are good enough to earn a living at it -- big pool of candidates. I used to distrust Elvis sightings until I realized how many good reasons there were for even careful observers to be fooled.

    Just like the "Camera Phones" incident, the internet has dramatically changed society in an unexpected way -- everybody is so innundated with baseless rumors that no one pronouncement (from a known liar no less) is going to be believed except perhaps by a few fanatics (who wear out their own believability at an accelerated rate in the information age).

    I wonder what the tipping point would be for something like that? It would take more than just a few videos and "experts".

    Still, the evidence can only build up, from incident to incident.

    And how long can we humans be said to be living if we spend 40% of our time asleep?

    So when we say the human life expectancy is nearing 80, that's a shorthand expression for about 50 years plus 30 asleep? If hybernation becomes practical that could turn into 50 years plus 100 asleep in some climates where humans would rather skip the less comfortable seasons, with time spent that way putting a lot less wear and tear on body and mind...and imortals might similarly use a "lots of naps" spell to stretch out their 200 or so years of available sanity from 120 plus 80 asleep to 120 plus 500 asleep. That would still probably put someone we know well over her limit, but maybe not to the point of complete insanity...

    If magic resets, Noriko will lose access to her magic.

    What will she think when she gets back to Moperville and discovers her disappointing son is leading the effort to discover and teach the new laws of magic?

    Or just receives an official update to her spell book, telling her how to use the "Tedd Verres" method to re-establish her connection to magic. Having her little one's name synonymous with magic for generations could also have quite an effect.
