Given that not being aware of our world never stopped Grace from making fun of games ...

Well, it was Elliot who got the Supergirl spell. Now, if this spell allowed Ellen to emit colorful light and not just white light, then it would be a Green Lantern spell as well . . . I think that color wasn't the most important feature of Green Lantern abilities Why? I don't have problems with Kiel'ndia Vel'Vloz'ress from Drowtales, I don't have problem with Scale from Cameo Comics ... why would Ellen be problem? (And Amanda and Lisa already address audience directly ...)

Adrian wasn't preoccupied with just Edward and Noriko. I think we can safely say Mrs. Kitsune was part of same group. Yeah, seems like he wouldn't have time for Mrs. Pompoms, much less her AND some blonde. I mean, if he would be teaching at school, teaching three magic users and having affair, he would at least need to introduce his students to Mrs. Pompoms so she wouldn't worry where he is all the time. OR Diane is still child of Mr. Pompoms and Susan's sister and Raven's other child is someone else. OR maybe Mrs. Pompoms AND the other woman with Susan's face are the children Pandora is speaking about (half-sisters, likely, making Susan and Diane half-sisters AND cousins - no wonder they look like twins). OR Pandora is speaking about Susan and Diane being Adrian's grandchildren and she just sounds little weird because "grandchildren" is not thing commonly being left out but she wants to be as vague as possible. Can't be, Susan is sure Mr Pompoms is most definitely her biological dad, and given everything else we know, I see no reason to doubt that. He wasn't ever called Mr. Pompoms IN CANON, that's only how we are referring to him. And his face wasn't shown.

I don't think Elliot had to either. It was dramatic, yes, but as I already mentioned somewhere else in different context, drama likely works like bonus, not as necessary condition. I think he would get over build ups even if he DIDN'T accepted the girl spells (and nothing else dramatic happened), but, like, month or two later ... and without getting non-girl spell at the same time. On the other hand, her getting transformation spells for a while was certainly caused by imperfect awakening just like Elliot getting girl spells.

Ok. Not yet completely confirmed, but it's getting harder and harder reading it as anything else than not only as elves being able to have kids, but than Raven already having child ... well, children. More like most unbelievable. Definitely even more epic than Susan and Diane being twins, and that's a big record to overpass. Also, I still think they may be (Also, the theory that Susan and Diane are not only Adrian's descendants but kids just got little more likely. It still seems to me that Adrian is not the type to cheat, but ...)

The "flashing the audience" joke is not exactly original but if Dan wouldn't do it we would ... Wait. She got this before scan & paste. So she got one non-transformation spell and then transformation again. Apparently, she's not that much against transformations ...

The small number of elves might've helped. Maybe elves are not necessary male BUT all elves alive at given point were ... And yes. There might've been someone who decided to not have sex because it could've resulted in children but general populace is the "WOO HOO!, No consequences!" kind. Every living European and every American with European ancestors (which is majority of them) and ... basically, there was someone around say 5000 years ago who already have 90% "coverage" but those remaining 10% are making it hard. (Some estimates say that the MRCA was born 3000 years ago, but they may be too optimistic.) We can therefore assume that either elves appeared relatively recently, or the magic heredity is more complicated than Noriko thinks. I think that any dolphin would confirm that breathing air was not that bad idea. The crawling bit, on the other hand ...

Well I have similar experience from high school, but I sort of though most people grow out from such behaviour.

That could match what we know, but not what is hinted. Adrian imagining his niece looking just like Susan is very likely to become plot point, I already pointed this page suggest Pandora learnt some NEW reason why her son will hate her (and having children would be top candidate) ... and last reset was VERY long ago. We can't actually rule out that getting magic by having child with fairy was something which APPEARED with last reset. Note: I suspect that Pandora being perfect example of "why" is related to the fact she postponed her reset to be with Adrian and that elves in general become less popular idea because fairies don't like forgetting their families ... and it will get even worse if those are not just children but wide families. But telling their next incarnations it can't be done remains bad idea.

Nor could Sarah, in point of fact. Unless Sarah is somehow attracted to people with gender ambiguity... She knows about Elliot and Tedd. And with her spell, she's much closer to discovering Sam than Sam in learning top secret stuff about Elliot and Tedd.

The difference is only in scale, not principle. Not only there is much more destruction in war, the RATIO between stuff being destroyed and stolen is also vastly different. Especially in interplanetary war.

The question if they even HAVE DNA (when they not actively using it) is open ; however, someone may be able to do some DNA sequencing on Adrian Raven. IMHO it didn't USED to be that way. It used to be relatively common knowledge before some idiot fairy way over recommended reset date got the idea of lying to her next incarnation. I don't care what Heka thinks about it, it couldn't be good idea.

It would definitely work better on most readers. Like this? "Dan, will you show us Grace and Sarah playfully tickle Ellen? Pretty please?" ; "Dan, would the tickling be in NP, sketchbook or pinup?"

... all this depends on Adrian lying to Grace ON THAT SAME PAGE. I don't think he did. He really IS convinced he can't have children. If he wouldn't, he would have no reason to say he can't because JUST NO WOULD SUFFICE. (Well ... "no" and then "yes" on "are you sure".) Note that parts of your theory might still be true - it is even possible (although unlikely) that Noriko has Adrian's child. Just ... the person the immortal ancestry was kept hidden the best was Adrian, so he wasn't the one doing it. (Unless memory erasure spells are involved, but those sounds like VERY bad idea and Dan luckily was able to avoid using that cliche as far as we know, and there were MULTIPLE cases where it would make sense to mention them.) First, I would totally expect she would deny him visitation. Second, he may not WANT to. Third ... even if he visits every week there would be no more reasons for US to see him than to see Justin parents (which we still didn't). That bit about Mrs. Pompoms accepting Susan despite not giving birth to her seems unlikely AND it would turn out in Edward's background checks, unless someone falsified the records really well. On the plus side, it would make Susan and Diane being twins option again.

We'd invent teleport blockers to prevent burglary, not just for privacy. Yeah, also that. Unless we will be already living in post-scarcity society and burglary would be rare while privacy concerns remains. (For example, if we would already have replicators at that point, why exactly would someone teleport to my home to steal my computer if he can just scan some in shop and replicate it at home? Right, because he wants the private photos on that computer. So, privacy.) I think the primary concern wasn't burglary but warships terraporting through defense lines and attacking homewords.

Yeah, Grace was there for that, but she didn't follow Edward and Nanase around the corner to hear Nanase mention the reason Not_Tengu was there. Although, she does have very good ears in that form.... still there isn't any evidence that she heard anything. She didn't follow Edward BUT she might get that information from Nanase later OR Edward might told her to prevent her accidentally telling Tedd. And yes she might actually hear that anyway In case of Grace, her technically-magic (or Uryuom power) potential. It's even possible he is only able to recognize her as Uryuom as opposed to awakened magic user due to his experience with Noah - similarly how the magic analyzer wand would give "false positive" for Grace. Justin at least once specifically said to Noah that he didn't told about him to others (yet) but that he feels conflicted about it. It's possible that he would tell if it became important, but so far it wasn't.

Sam can't possibly know this

While he might seen the resemblance (despite hair color making it harder), it doesn't exactly explain why he was buying it. This is one of those cases where Sarah should have enough info that even if this is all Pandora says, Sarah should connect the dots. She knows Adrian's half Immortal, and she probably knows how rare elves are, so she can't really assume that any Immortal she sees is going to have kids, thing is, Pandora is likely aware that Sarah knows about Adrian since she knows that Nanase knows and isn't obligated to withhold that information. Pandora also seems to be on a bit of an honesty kick at the moment, started with Disco Wizard, and she's become more aware of the harm she's done to people, she also likes Sarah so I can see her opening up about this with her. Sarah may NOT know how rare elves are - and in fact, they may not be as rare as we think. She might assume that in Pandora's time, many immortals had kids, and the reason Jerry didn't spoke about any was that they would be since before his previous reset. And Pandora deliberately didn't told her "Raven" as her name. Why starting now? I think it's more likely she won't tell the name directly but says something else which she wouldn't realize will be enough for Sarah to connect it. This I can believe, maybe that was the lie she told herself, that Immortals weren't responsible for Humans being the way they are. Maybe she had convinced herself that any offspring they would have with Humans would be sterile so that there's be less temptation to have kids. I dunno, there's probably another reason why Immortals rarely mate with Humans. But still, the whole "half immortals cannot have children" statement seems to be getting some large cracks in the foundation. It was likely lie her previous incarnation told her current one. But she repeated it to Adrian - and possibly in situation where it really mattered ... While the father being the one related to Adrian makes more sense, the "other woman with Susan's face" is hinting something more complicated ... but I'm not sure WHY. I mean, I don't see how Susan and Diane being cousins from mother sides would make better sense in story than the simplest solution. (Note that they can be half-sisters due to father AND cousins removed few times from mother sides at the same time ... like, maybe that's why they have magic and their parents didn't? IF they didn't?) Hmmmmm .... I'm not sure what could Jerry actually provide to this, but it's true Pandora can help Jerry and that would be useful by itself, so ... I still think something more was in game. Like that Adrian abandoned his girlfriend because she was pregnant and he was sure it can't be his. Well she wasn't SHOWING to many humans at all ... and there aren't that many humans who are likely to show concern for immortal who is playing with them. Her husband was very exceptional in this ; even more than Sarah, because Pandora already more-or-less wowed to stop playing with Sarah. On the other hand, Sarah's reaction to Pandora was exceptional from start. Pandora is not used to THAT either.

Yes. However, Adrian's explanation pointed out that she is SUPPOSED to look as his niece and therefore resembling him. THAT's why she asked if he has children.

You owe me three w. Luckily they are cheap. We still don't know if it was Pandora in Susan's room, but the motivation you suggested makes sense: While Grace didn't see the resemblance until Adrian show her how he imagines his niece, Pandora can certainly see it without such help - and I think that similarly to Edward Verres, she did her own background check on Tedd's friends, so she knows Susan. And I think it's more like Sarah's being Susan's BFF. I mean, Sarah doesn't seem to have problem with social connections, and Grace might be good candidate for her best friend as well, but Susan's social connections seems to be only Sarah and Nanase - even Justin she only knows thanks to Nanase. Still, I suspect the title is more likely to be due to Pandora and Sarah becaming "BFF". But wait, the title IS in plural ...

For scan/paste, the sex is ALWAYS from scan. For both version of fusion, it's the left hand which SCANS the sex. Except she might be able to scan person with RIGHT hand and then fusion-paste it with RIGHT hand too because she doesn't need to scan at the same time as pasting, does she? "something"? Let's be more specific: Ellen must have got this spell AFTER What is Love (which is not surprising, What is Love was before timeskip) because with this spell, Ellen and Nanase don't need Tedd's help to get pregnant. All they need is for Ellen to scan Elliot, which he doesn't even need to know about. (Tedd might still make better solution, but if they DON'T want him involved ... despite him already promising Nanase watches with any form she wants and will be unlikely to ask why because he wouldn't like to know the answers ...)

It MIGHT be possible Box will try to not say anything too specific which would identify Adrian ... like, she probably won't say the name ... but yes I totally expect she tells something which makes Sarah figure it out. Also, she MIGHT tell Sarah about the "elves can have kids". Especially the "going to" sounds as if he would have MORE reasons to hate her now than before her trip to Egypt ... (Also, if Sarah really gets these two informations from Pandora, she's better at interrogation than ASHLEY.)

We already have Tedd/Grace hybrids, don't we? Although I'm not sure about Sarah/Tedd hybrids ... Well, not first case characters in this comics are ill-mannered ... what is Dan going to do with them as punishment? Transform them? Grace and Sarah? What form would be bad enough to be punishment for them (and not punishment for Dan at same time)? Also, the form really looks good.

Even if she know Immortals are shapechanges, being ABLE to look differently doesn't mean everyone is that person. Elliot AND Grace can basically look as any girl, Ellen has wide options is this area as well, and in fact anyone with help of TF gun, yet Sarah doesn't assume every girl she meet is one of them. Sarah knows there are at least four immortals around, so it's not particularly likely she will assume adult Pandora is Box based on both being immortals. Although both being over their expire date might be suspicious. Look again at her talking with Adrian ... OR with Jerry. She doesn't operate on need-to-know principle. She operates on friend/enemy principle. She tells almost everything to people she consider allies, she's just lucky that in most cases it really turns to be need-to-know. There may be. Lot of information is connected and this may easily appear in conversation about Adrian. Yes, she probably will try to keep this secret. She wasn't doing so well in Rhoda and Catalina's relationship case, considering Ellen is sure about it, but she's trying. EDIT: Plausible way how Grace may tell everyone about Adrian teaching Edward is actually clearly visible in this strip: They know that Adrian picked Ellen, Grace, Noah and Justin as favorites. Since Justin fought the fire guy, the conclusion he's picking people with magic potential is staightforward. Nanase is likely to mention again that her mother might've been his favorite as well and that she suspects her mother knows more about magic than she seems ... then suddenly, Adrian teaching Edward is relevant, important and totally need to know. It might also force Justin to admit that he knows about Noah having magic. Paradoxically, only way she wouldn't need to tell is if Adrian picking people with magic potential will be considered so obvious they don't need confirmation. BTW, on topic of information sharing ... Nanase: "Uh, Grace, I would like to hear your opinion ... I don't like hiding stuff from Tedd, but ..." (And that's only if Grace doesn't already know, after all she was there) and Grace: "Mr. Raven, when you were talking about Tedd's mom choosing career over family, what career exactly were you talking about?" Adrian: "... I shouldn't be telling you this stuff if Edward didn't." Grace: "Thanks for confirmation."

Grace seems actually to be horrible with secrets. As Adrian said. Also, he told her to not tell anybody ... oops. And talk with Tedd likely didn't helped ... I would say Grace is the one MOST likely to share everything with main eight. Although it's true that she IS able to keep relationship-related secrets, like Rhoda dating Catalina ... oh wait. (Still better than Catalina, though). She can lie better than Elliot and can probably better keep secrets from people she sees like enemies, but from friends? She MIGHT be able to keep this secret, although I'm not sure how long if Sarah will be talking with her about dating Sam ... ... but I don't believe she will keep secret this one. Like, she knows how Tedd reacts about mentions of his mom, so maybe that part, but I don't think she will keep secret that Adrian and Mr. Verres knows each other since school. Also, Adrian teaching in the school long time is not exactly secret, yes.
