    OK, If you weren't suggesting that Sarah's family has magic in their lineage what did you mean by...

    But this is EGS and Sarah got similar magic recently and we already have two families with hereditary magic ... it was little suspicious. And we like to specul

    Didn't she divorce him after the incident were Susan caught him cheating? If Diane got put up for adoption at that point, they should both remember it.

    Grace's brothers are purely human/animal hybrids right? I'm pretty sure Grace, the Uryuoms, and seyunolu with Uryuom blood can't get other magic, but is there any reason to think that seyunolu without Uryuom blood can't?

    It's possible for (lesser?) seylunolu without Uryuom blood, that the shapeshifting acts like a spell, and they can awaken and get other spells

    Guinias and Hedge are animal/human.  Vlad(ia) is a greater seynoulu similar to Grace.

    You've got to keep straight what EGS effects are due to Earth-magic and which are due to Uryoum-magic.  The two don't work the same.  Uryouom-magic stuff is the TF Gun, Uryouoms and Seynoulu, Grace's shapeshifting and Ellen's FV5 handbeam.  Everything else, including Tedd's watches and gauntlet are earth magic.

    Probably Grace's brothers are like Grace.  They have no earth magic in them, so their transforming is not a "spell" by earth magic terms, so they aren't going to get new spells.

    A greater Seynoulu like Vladia has more leeway for shapeshift stuff but I'm not sure what it is.  Grace isn't a fair judge because she has the genetics of two shapeshifting races in her (Uryuom and Lespuko) so I'm not sure what a Greater Seynoulu is capable by by themselves.  Vladia has no interest in finding out.  For the first time in her life she's normal and so happy to be such that she has no interest in ever shifting again.

    The problem is politicians wanting to look like they're "doing something" about the problem.  

    I'm pretty sure that bad guys have been mixed in with the Syrian refugees, but telling which from which is difficult because they're refugees and there are so few bad guys.  Last I heard about the Syrian refugees flooding into Germany, supposedly 18% were sympathetic to ISIS, but "sympathetic" doesn't mean "terrorist".  999 times out of 1000 it doesn't.

    Identifying people has to be a nightmare.  Refugees aren't going to have all the nice paperwork that a proper immigrant would otherwise be expected to have and they aren't likely to be in the company of people who can say "yes, this guy is from my town."  That last part isn't proof anyway because it would be easy for a terrorist to bribe a few genuine refugees to say they've known him all their lives.

    How to strain the problem cases out of a half-million refugees must be driving the anti-terror experts half-crazy.

    One thing's for certain.  Governments are going to want to keep tabs on the refugees.  If the help these nice people were giving refugees had the effect of flying them under government radar, that would be a no-no.

    This one follows up Nanase going over the reasoning, it's safe to assume that Susan told Nanase everything about her ecounter with Jerry considering Nanase is covered by Jerry's promise. Probably like "So you remember our thing back in France where the two Immortals gave us our magic and had us fight the aberration then buggered off? Well Jerry felt they shouldn't have done that so to make up for it he's promised to help us from time to time."

     

    Thanks for the memory refresh. :)

    wouldn't that make the girls seyunolus? every seyunolu we've seen has had an afinity for shape-shifting, and ONLY shape-shifting. I'm not sure they even can get abilities not related to that.

    hammer thing and magic weapon thing would contradict that, wouldn't they?


    Seynoulu are an uryoum thing.  It's the result using an uryoum egg to make a genetic stew.  Lesser Seynoulu can have limited shapeshifting between genetic components, Greater Seynoulu had Uryuom genetics in the mix and can shapeshift much more freely, especially once zapped with a TF Gun.

    We have no evidence that Raven has any Uryouom in his background though it's not impossible, I suppose.  We do know Raven is a half-Immortal.  If Raven is a component in Susan's and Diane's genes, whether by magic or Uryouom egg (assume 2 parents here), they're 1/4 Immortal and Pandora's grandchildren.

    Raven, like all half-Immortals (elves) cannot have children normally, but nothing short of time travel is known to be impossible for magic...

    I remember reading it in the old Word of Dan thread, IIRC. Given that he has antennae (normally hidden as his ponytail) it isn't too far-fetched.

    If we go back to Ellen's Second Life, we know that Archie was a second-gen Seynoulu with back-of-the-head antennae.  We're also told those are rare.  There's a persistent belief (I share it) that Noah is Archie's dimensional equivalent in our world.  Both have light-colored back-of-the-head antennae...  

    Given that we know Grace has no earth-magic at all and Noah does but has not shapeshifted (that we've seen), I'd guess that Noah somehow traded the uruom "magic" that would drive shapeshifting abilities for earth magic.  Remember he tried just about every fast route to power to get revenge on Damien for killing his parents.  One route obviously worked.

    The thing is, Susan and Justin aren't attracted to each other sexually, but you can't deny the fact that they've got a special bond. They've confided in each other over various topics, they share similar interests. I can see them having no issue with living together, it'd be like the arrangement that Marten and Faye has, except without any of the sexual tension and Pintsize. ;)

    Oh sure.  But if a guy and a girl are living together, people can jump to easy conclusions. :)

    One wonders if Melissa would get jealous...

    I'd like to think that Susan was paying for her cellphone herself, which is why she's had the job at Tensaided's video shop even during school. We know she was embarrassed about her mom making a fuss about getting her on that France trip. I can see her wanting to be independent with a lot of things, she'll probably be the first of the main 8 to find her own place to live after high school. Actually, I can see her and Justin being roomies for a while after high school.

    In the real world, lots of people would wonder if Justin wasn't gay after all...

    Also, how will Sarah react to finding out her sister have magic and didn't told her? (Assuming she really does, as we suspect since http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2114 ).

    Assuming Carol is a "magical girl reporter", she might not know it herself.  She might not have anything to tell Sarah.

    So imagine Carol's surprise if Sarah tells *Carol* she has magic...

    That is definitely reason to not tell her. Also, they don't seem to be THAT close anyway.

     

    Carol has to be a bunch of years older than Sarah.  Carol has finished college and established a career in local news.  Carol is 6-8 years older, minimum.  Raising the possibility that Sarah, like Elliot, was a "whoops" baby.

    If Justin's experience is any judge, older sisters are poor choices of confidantes.  We know how Melissa and her sister turned out... 

    Carol is a TV reporter.  If Sarah told Carol about magic, could Carol the Reporter honor the confidentiality given to Carol the Sister?

    Looking at the two from this vantage the similarity between Melissa's sister and Carol is interesting...

    ...And I'm finally back on the forums.  I'll have an avatar once more when I decide what to have.

    If Elliot can take pictures, he can take video.  Are pictures and video saved to his physical phone?

    I absolutely love it. Also, it is now confirmed: Elliot has a HUD. It should therefore be possible for him to play Angry Birds while in superhero shape.

    That's before we talk about DOSBox' having been ported to mobile,  He could play Doom or Master of Orion.  And that's just for starters.

    IIRC there's a Minecraft port to android/iOS as well...
