    It's possible that Rhoda could simply remove the enchantment from the keys. If the keys aren't on her anymore it should be treated as a separate enchantment when disenchanting them. Note I said might. This was never mentioned in canon. We know that if Nanase take off her clothes, her enchantment resistance would no longer apply to them. We also know that Elliot can transform back from woman, his clothes will not transform back when he take them off nor when he transforms back, they will transform back after about a day. But we have no idea if he can transform the clothes back without transforming himself. Note that if he couldn't, it still may not be applicable, as Elliot is not able to enchant anything he's not wearing, but if he could, it would make sense Rhoda can as well. But we don't know. Considering ingestion happens in small intestine, her starting to grow while eating suggests physics and chemistry don't have much to say about it: she apparently started growing as soon as chunk of cookie entered her stomach. I don't see anything dramatic on that, but it would count as trolling, yes. Note that in such case the car would likely resize INCLUDING people in it, because transformation safety obviously. I do. Topologically speaking, her situation is identical to situation of the chunk of cookie. The enchantments can totally interfere.

    Depends. There are options to pay with credit card wirelessly now. Also, they are supposed to get out of store fast, there shouldn't be any payment involved. Unless they need to pay for parking, but parking near mall is usually free, isn't it? That might not be possible. I mean, return to normal size just the keys. And trying to hit the exact size for the keys to work with another enchantment would be hard. Considering car is bigger than person, not speaking about the key, the size change likely wouldn't be so big. Probably. Ok, can happen and would be funny.

    If train station is the place where train stops, what is a workstation? Olive oil is made from olives. What is baby oil made from?

    Not until you pointed it out. Maybe he is contemplating trying to convince the grandparents of the advantages of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations? That would look like this:

    Like Joan of Arc? Recently our mailperson has been giving our chihuahua treats if he happens to be outside when she comes around to deliver the mail. if mailpeople are so prone to getting shot at, I'm wondering if I should worry about my mailperson's motive for giving my dog those treats. I would say that mailpersons are more likely to be chased by dogs than shoot at, so the mailperson is probably hoping that if she gives your chihuahua treats he would be less likely to bit her legs.

    Well, most of youtube? Problem is that while it's really hard to find anything offensive on kittens playing itself, most people who make movies have ambitions and usually fail to resist temptation to "improve" it in some way. I remember short movie about bears (cubs) which would probably be safe without sound, but I did feel offended when I turned on the sound with commentary. I completely agree that we shouldn't be using r-word or similar descriptions for politicians. Especially considering that more intelligent politicians of this sort are usually more dangerous, as their greed and malice can get them further than the less intelligent ones. Also, I suspect that lot of politicians pretend to be less intelligent that they are, either to appeal to broader spectrum of voters or so they can later label their policies "mistakes" instead of admitting they planned that. That, however, isn't general answer on usage of those words, nor answers my question about Forest Gump.

    Pee-Wee's Big Adventure might not be good example, but would it be possible to use words like that to describe main characters in other movies, like Dumb and Dumber or Forrest Gump?

    That's probably the reason they send them to look.

    Or she becomes even more hypnotized by the movements of said "huge tracts of land". Considering she is supposed to stay hidden and therefore those "huge tracks of land" are only things she can look at ...

    Although technically, the week EGS spent on the two-thirds of second Tedd was falling IS bigger difference in ratio, I would consider Grrl Power better in this. Or worse, depends at how you look at it.
  11. NP Friday November 18, 2016

    That, of course, assumes that that is the only mall in town, or that they went to the same one. There is canon for that, in that the term "the mall" with on name attached has been used more than once. While this being only mall in town seems unlikely, being only mall the main characters are visiting is believable and yes, the "never specifying name of the mall nor talking about another mall" is pretty strong suggestion for that. Well ... of course, there is Swedekea. Which might mean that everyone in the town knows what mall is The mall and other malls are referred by name.
  12. Story Friday November 18, 2016

    Please don't say that. Some people might take it as a challenge. Me, for example on a weird day/night. It's not challenge. There is nothing challenging on it. It's significantly easier than taking candy from baby.
  13. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Yeah, it's pretty crazy how so little time has passed in the comic. Dan even made a joke about it during Squirrel Prophet after the tournament ended and Grace commented that it felt like she ate dinner months ago. Also, June 7th continues. Again. It will never end. I don't think EGS is the record holder, though (warning: tvtropes link).
  14. NP Friday November 18, 2016

    I'm going to go out a limb and guess that "location3" isn't in these here United States of 'Merica". Here in this part the world, we would say "parking lots". That being said, most malls, at least those that I have seen, have one parking lot that surrounds the mall, with 2 or more door ways leading into the mall. Often the big stores on each end of the mall have their own doors and another door that leads to the mail itself. Around here, "not enough parking" seems more matching description than "lots of parking". But I would agree with more door not meaning more parking spaces. In case of THIS mall, however ... there seem to be parking on three sides with dark alley as a shortcut.

    There is also the possibility that Lucy doesn't recognize Tall!Rhoda due to what amounts to reverse change blindness, in that she knows Rhoda is a very small girl, so this taller model like girl can't be her. Might not even be psychological effect - Rhoda would definitely look differently from front than from up. Hmmm ... ... another scenario: Lucy sees Rhoda from higher floor, goes down and passes her while searching for her. Because she's recognized her from up but not from front ... ... although, both of those scenarios have the question how RHODA would react. I suspect "panic".
  16. NP Wednesday November 16, 2016

    Yes. And while I would prefer if we would know enough about enchantments to explain it just by that knowledge, I would consider this meta reason more important for this case. Not-Tengu was defeated by exhausting the ambient energy he was feeding into his various enchantments. I think Not-Tengu required the ambient energy because he was actively overcoming resistance of those students AND his form enchantment would naturally only last few minutes because it requires too much energy to put it there on casting. The third effect, if it exists at all, was never called resistance. Hmmm ... looking at Not-Tengu example, the third effect may be actively using your or ambient magic to prolong the enchantment. Something Catalina would likely be not experienced enough to do. That IS possible. So far, Pandora was only one affected by any hijinks ...

    I don't think having Susan there would help. In fact, having more people there could make this HARDER. I'm sure if Susan was there, the grandparents would insist calling her superior at some point. Good old days ... I'm not sure how good I remember being 6, but I'm sure I didn't wanted to watch "age appropriate" movies then. I found only sleeping with Hinako and that one seems little pervy ... but is just 45 minutes so it's probably something completely else. Yes, I guess not many people would experience all 639 years of it ... We have seen worse. Don't give up, we just started.
  18. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    That still doesn't negate the fact that she did consider keeping a younger form available, she may still keep the 18 year old form, not exactly sure what mad her update the form though unless it was because she liked her hairstyle better than the what she had at the birthday party, or maybe she grew a bit in certain places, it's no secret (at least to us) that she is a bit insecure about her appearance. She considered keeping her NOW form as a younger form. And yes, growing at certain places might be the reason ... Biologically people start ageing before they are born. But most people divide they life to "growing" and "ageing", some even with gap between those. We don't know how much space does a full clone form require. On the other hand, her form IS backed up on Grace and we don't know if Grace even HAS an erase functionality http://elgoonishshive.wikia.com/wiki/El_Goonish_Shive_Timeline The comics started January 20 and is currently in January of next year (with big help of half year timeskip).
  19. NP Wednesday November 16, 2016

    I meant that as long as Rhoda is able to maintain her form, it should help Catalina keep hers. I understand, it's just that that's not how enchantment resistance works. At least based on what we were shown.
  20. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Not sure how thats relevant to what I said, unless you're nitpicking the "girl" part as me thinking Nioi was young Yes. In different context it could make sense, but calling her "girl" between high school students? Between her explanations and age, she must seem more like teacher to them. Although she's unlikely to be as old as Adrian Raven Which she then updated to have one 18 years old, proving that she doesn't feel the need to look younger than 18.
  21. NP Wednesday November 16, 2016

    I think you are correct, because putting the cookie in her mouth made Rhoda start growing (note there only seems to be one bite out of the cookie and she's still chewing). I think putting shrunken Catalina in the jacket of enlarged Rhoda is gonna be all sorts of hijinks-inducing. .... did noone read my first post? It was explained in Q&A including note that Dan though it was already explained in Painted Black. So Rhoda's resistance may help maintain Catalina's shrunken form until they get somewhere that Catalina can attempt to return to normal. Actually, Rhoda's resistance will help Catalina RESIST the shrunken form, meaning she will transform back quicker.
  22. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Name's Nioi and I think she's older than main cast. People under 20 rarely feel the need to make themselves looking younger. Tedd's abilities may be completely unrelated to seeing immortals and STILL something Voltaire considers dangerous. The spell to enchant someone with dreams or memories from someone else doesn't have to require a nose beep, Nioi likely nosebeeped Ellen because that's just the way Nioi is, it could be enough just to touch someone on the shoulder, or for an Immortals to just face their palm at the person just like with marking. If it requires skin contact (and not just touching clothes), then nosebeep might be one of the most normal ways. At least considering Ellen has hands full. Shade Tail being part Lespuko was not only thing she learnt, there was that whole backstory. And she HOLD Grace, possibly scanning her somehow. She might've decided that there is nothing more Dr Scuiridae would be able to tell her, even if she wasn't satisfied with what she got.
  23. NP Wednesday November 16, 2016

    Grace found that strange too, but frankly, would Sarah able to pick her up otherwise? (The answer might be related to non-euclidean space bending, dark and exotic matter ... or just magic.) No. First, changing back IMHO shouldn't disrupt other enchantments ... but more importantly, that wouldn't matter, as she is NOT planning to turn back until outside the mall.
  24. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Which wouldld explain having Sirleck go after Raven. It would also explains why I expect his plan with Raven will fail.
  25. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Last I checked, the consensus of the forums was that Tedd's mother left because Tedd had no magic potential and she wanted an apprentice more than a son. (Relevant links). Though I suppose Voltaire could have "guided" her towards that decision, but I feel like Noriko would get a bit suspicious if he started pushing, especially since it implies something important about Tedd, and she left because he had no magic potential. If an immortal starts prodding her to leave, she might stay to figure out why. And if that wouldn't be enough, RAVEN is convinced it's his fault. Fooling Noriko, Raven and avoid Pandora seems outside Voltaire's abilities.
