Purple Smart

So it turns out New Jerry didn't know as much as some people may have expected. Now I'm really curious about how Diane and Susan really are related, if they are even related at all. It would make sense for them to be half-sisters, but maybe them both having an affinity for vampire hunting is just a pure coincidence. It's not like there aren't plenty of people in real life who look similar, but aren't related at all. The only thing I do know for sure is that I'm certainly excited about where this is going. Maybe we'll get to find out more about Susan's father, at least.

So they're both adopted? Interesting.

Are Rhea's parents her real parents or is she also adopted? I don't think we've ever seen them.

So Voltaire found out that Raven is half-immortal, but he doesn't seem to know that he's actually Pandora's son. I'm pretty sure Voltaire has at least heard about Pandora, so I wonder what will happen once Pandora finds out about all this. Haha. Actually, here in my country you can still find a few payphones in train stations. I even see a few people use them from time to time. I guess they're mostly foreigners who don't want to use their cell phones because it can be quite expensive if you don't have the proper SIM card for that country. Roaming costs are no joke.

I'm pretty sure vampires and aberrations aren't synonyms. All vampires are aberrations, but not all aberrations are vampires. It's really a matter of taxonomy.

Yep, I officially have no idea what is going on anymore. I've known for weeks that Sirleck must have been involved with this whole incident somehow, but it seems Volty and Abner are double-crossing Sirleck? I still don't know if Volty is doing this of his own volition or if he's working for someone else, possibly even Pandora, although that does seem to be rather unlikely. Well, at least we know the "White Immortal"'s name now. Voltaire, huh? I don't see much of a connection between him and the historical figure, so I guess his name is supposed to be highly ironic. You've been waiting for six years to introduce Voltaire, Dan? It seems like he might become a greater-scale villain like Damien was back in the day. I'm certainly looking forward to what role he is going to play in the future.

I have a very bad feeling about this. This white immortal really gives me the creeps. Our only comfort is that Plan CM is apparently very complicated, so I assume there's a lot that could go wrong and it could even backfire on him. What I'm really wondering about is whether he is connected to Pandora at all. At first, it seemed like he was working independently, but now it appears that he's doing some sort of job for someone. I don't see why Pandora would hire him instead of doing things herself as she has always done. This makes me think that there's someone or something else pulling the strings. In any case, I suppose it'll take a while until we actually see his plan in action.

Now things are getting really interesting. Of course, most of us already saw this coming, but it's good to see that Nanase has the same idea. It also makes perfect sense. Since Susan's mother divorced Susan's father, she had become a single mother and probably just couldn't care for two children. So she had to make the tough choice of putting one of her daughters up for adoption. I wonder how Diane and Susan will react to this. They probably will refuse to believe it at first. Is there any way of actually proving this? I'm not sure if Susan's mother is still able to recognize Diane after all this time. Well, in any case, I hope their reunion will go well.

Elliot Phone strikes again! I do agree with what Dan wrote in the commentary, it's amazing what smartphones can accomplish nowadays. I'm kind of sad to see Tara and Andrea go, but at least we'll see them again. I wonder whether that's their actual names or if they're Americanized names they chose for themselves because their real names would be impossible for humans to pronounce. Maybe they just speak some kind of antiquated English in their homeworld.

Well, I guess I like the new layout. It's very Web 2.0 and it reminds me of Disqus. I just hope that a few bugs, like me being unable to enter my birthday, will be sorted out eventually.

Wow, this forum sure looks different from the last time I posted here. I even had to create a new account. In any case, I like how Tara and Andrea bicker like an old married couple. Probably because they are an old married couple, but still. So if I understood correctly, they technically live in the same reality, but it's still kind of separate from our main characters' reality. This makes me wonder how they'll even "go home"? Do they live on the spiritual plane like the immortals do or is it just another dimension entirely? This thing just gets more complicated the more we know about it.
