Hmmm ... anything pointing out WHEN was Pandora young? Let's see ... based on what the boy with chicken is wearing ... definitely not Egyptian ... did Roman wear stuff like this? Also, I'm really interested in that dragon. Only problem with this is that it would make the story over faster - wait, wasn't Dan worried about pacing? (Pandora's involvement so far was carefully done in way it was hard to connect everything together. Currently, Raven and Magus are only one who knows her name - not even Sarah knows that. I suspect they will spent some time before connecting everything together ...) Not sure if she didn't get other idea first, but I still think Adrian Raven will be born in next two pages. Hmmmm ... well it makes more sense than the alternatives like Adrian having child using Uryuom eggs and not knowing it. Well, I see no reason why that might be problem. If she was as careless as she usually is, it was just question of time. No. While the two most formative events of her live are her father cheating and the encounter with Vampire, there was something else which made Diane use boys as source of "stuff". Possibly just her being poor (well, not rich), or some formative event with some boy buying her something she really wanted but couldn't get. She would, however, certainly end up more proud at her look. She have it in herself, she's just suppressing it due to memory of the blonde woman. She would probably wear more revealing clothes.

Right ... soo, Elliot by Magus, Magus by Sirleck, Sirleck by Voltaire, Voltaire by Pandora. We have 5. Anyone can prolong to 6? I'm pretty sure the "cat" face is Sirleck.

Why? You don't like her and want her to end up dead by another aberration? She needs powers ASAP. While the storyline might not be long enough for her to get powers, I don't understand why would you HOPE she don't get them.

Andrea would know. Would she consider it important? Maybe it's normal for royals. Or it's less rare and she only commented the most rare thing. That doesn't necessarily mean having all talents. Being extremely versatile may be talent by itself. ... the question if fairy counts as magic weapon for purpose of Vampire hunting is still open. Guardian forms wings are another option - just from what Nanase already has.

Ask The Old Hack. Not sure which silhouette is second, but my bet is Pandora. She can do any silhouette needed.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2210 Catalina! ... (reading comment) ... ok, no Catalina. Also no Noriko or Mrs. Kitsune. On the other hand, Magus, apparently. Despite him not being anyone sister. Also Susan and Diane, but that would be really hard to postpone. Note: Who can be the catspaw ... Elliot by Magus? Magus by Sirleck? Magus by Pandora? Or can we get four-person-long chain?

Yes, it's still going. And they might killed that mentor guy (depending on who you call mentor). They didn't resurrected the lover yet.

What makes Nanase special enough to be considered royalty, could be that her family line has more than 1 innate talent. Whenever there's mention of innate talents in regards to Susan, Diane and Sarah, it's always been singular, sure they can get other spells later that aren't specific to their talent but their main spell base would be more likely to come from that talent. If Nanase had multiple innate talents, it could explain the amount of things she can do, the sneaking around stuff might just be as much an innate talent as it was a reflection of who Nanase was at the time she was getting those, but the Guardian form isn't part of the sneaky spell set so it might have been part of another innate talent that she was able to unlock by meeting the requirements of being selfless and wanting to protect others. The fairy doll might be considered part of the same set as the guardian because part of the spell allows Nanase to link a doll with someone so that she could easily get to the person if needed, which would make for a very good way for Nanase to find someone if she felt they were in trouble, and if the person had the doll with them, she could still get to them even if she doesn't know exactly where they are. So there are at least 2 spell sets for Nanase, a sneaky set and a combat guardian set. Trying to find two distinct sets might not be easy enough to be good idea. We know less than we think. Considering persistent avatar was THE thing Andrea considered rare, I'm sure it's at least partially talent. That doesn't mean Noriko has persistent fairies - maybe her persistent avatar spell is something else, or maybe she has persistent magic weapons ... the talent might not be easily recognizable part of spell. Similarly, the guardian form looks like something powered/enhanced by talent, but maybe there IS something part which is external (although the spell being from Christian god doesn't seem likely to me). She certainly got sneaking spells because being sneaky. But Fox seems pretty high-caliber for "just sneaking spell" ... maybe she's combination of sneaking reflection and talent, possibly the same talent which is helping with fairies. And flying was her first spell. Maybe it was talent - it doesn't seem likely she would want flying THAT much it would be more important than talents. But maybe she did or the assumption than talent-based spells are likely to be first is incorrect. Of course she also have spells obviously connected to ASMA, but those are caused by ASMA training and not likely to be talent. On the other hand, we can't rule it out completely. Or, perhaps her talent is not anything specific and it's just causing her to get more spells than others. And finally, maybe she IS wizard. The reason why Tedd or noone else is wizard is basically that with all magic around them they would learn some spell already. But considering the fact Nanase has more spells than all others combined AND is not really that much interested in transformation, she might not actually try. Note I would find weird Griffins didn't mentioned it, but with the difference in terms, it's not clear what they actually said ...

Yeah, I tried playing her and didn't do too well, still I knew about the pose before I played the game, mainly because of the controversy over her original pose. ... I knew about the pose despite not playing game at all, but what I meant was that playing Overwatch doesn't automatically mean seeing the pose in-game, so it may not be relevant.

Well, he might've been trying to alter Gracelyn by changing her clothes, instead of changing into Gracelyn as saved (in school uniform or more likely with no clothing change) and then changing clothes in old-fashioned way.

Unlikely. Even if Sarah would be into that, Elliot still thinks of her as a sister, and would likely be squicked out by that sort of thing. The links being implicitly bidirectional is problem. Logically, both direction should be evaluated separately.

Definitely not Helena and Demetrius - there is no reason for Demetrius to be called sister. And I'm not sure where did you took Eris from. Personally, I think with all that buildup, it may actually be MULTIPLE sisters. Susan & Diane are sort of given, Diane and Rhea may sort of need to be involved in that too, and I also like the idea of Noriko & Mrs Kitsune - that would make this story REALLY turning point. ... and I can totally see one of those others to show up as trolling in beginning.

Anyone can learn to be a mage, but nevertheless, there are hereditary talents like the one Susan and Diane has. I'm sure Nanase also have one - or maybe several. Secretly? Only if you mean keeping it secret from Nanase. Considering she DOES know DGB, she either "retired" or she might even still be active magic user. You may be right about her attempt to keep her children from family's monster-hunting business. Which failed and I'm sure she realized that already (although it's question WHEN). Her talent might be just as powerful, but considering the way magic users keep getting more magic the more they use it, she certainly isn't as powerful now unless she trains ALL THE TIME. I'm looking forward to it and totally don't believe this build up will be for nothing. Wait. Everyone expect the next story will be Sisters III about Diane and Susan. But what if those sisters will be Noriko and Mrs. Kitsune?

Actually, no sketchbook can "update" canon. Nevertheless, Dan would need some really BIG artillery to sunk it now. Anyone can create shipping. Noone can destroy one. Even after being completely shot down in canon, they continue to float underwater ... the ship is only destroyed when the story it's from is completely forgotten. He might still have that bedding, but certainly not USE it. Edward may want some reminder, but he don't want TEDD to have some reminder, so anything like that will be hidden.

The obvious "she's so distracted by her boobs she apparently overlook other parts of transformations" is really extremely amusing. But yes, VampireSarah is still hot. "Evil" may be debatable, but if Sarah turned vampire she would became aberration, which is not good idea. Super speed, strength, flight and this look, well, why not, would be likely similar to Not-tengu monster form in the "how much evil is that" sense, and he wasn't aberration and noone even commented he's on way to became one. Hypnosis ... first, I don't think Sarah would want that. Second, that is sort of power with pretty short list of non-evil uses. I can totally see Sarah preparing that costume and then ask Ellen for this help with final step of "putting it on". Also, I really hope we get to see main cast on Halloween. We didn't first year due to timeskip (not counting the sketches which appeared on real-live halloweens), but seriously, why shouldn't they get transformation-based "costumes"? Noone is going to suspect anything weird if some halloween costumes would appear too good ...

Or she just shrank Diane, Rhoda's spell doesn't just make things bigger, of course the only time it was used canonically it made the boar bigger, but if it's a contextual spell, Rhoda was likely thinking the boar was big to begin with so the spell exaggerated it more. Or, given the size difference, maybe she needed to BOTH shrink Diane AND enlarge herself to get this. Things like THIS? Personally, things like their spells makes me wish they get more screentime with main cast (also, gives me hope they actually WILL). Nanase things so. Rhoda is likely already aware Diane is adopted and may consider the possibility of Susan not knowing about it dangerous enough. Or she might do something even more crazy. I'm not sure what, but she has talent for that.

Is this another dream where Tedd advises Elliot about his live life? Funny how we ended with two cases of "characters being more sexy than (supposedly) told to" this month. The relief from not having four breasts more than compensates the annoyance of not being cat girl. Actually, I think Rhoda interrupted them little too early for that ... ... well, two boys kissing girls can't be gay, right?

Dan possibly didn't tried to play Tracer at all. Isn't Tracer supposed to be hard to play good? You can't put photo on nose of bomber. Doesn't rule out she (or her photo) was model for it.

Remember, Elliot is a shapeshifter. Gracelyn can look like whatever she wants. More like "whatever he imagines looking as". Remember, imagining staying same height is harder that it seems. I totally think Elliot ended up with uneven socks because he didn't concentrated on them having same length.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=479 ... that "cool robot people" is from the game or Dan's replacement? ... did the person asked for "all of this" before or after some injury resulting in amputation?

I can assure you that in totalitarian government, EVERYTHING is done for the welfare of the people. At least according to all legal media. Also, election are often won with 100% votes. (Sure, the vote usually have just that one option and absence from election might be reason for persecution or even criminal act. But officially, it's still will of people.) And I remember few dictatorships with elections as well. (Probably not exactly free elections, but ...) That's what I meant with not answering sincerely.

Wands are definitely not power SOURCES. They, however, work sort of like batteries, so yes, it should be easier to cast with wand. Definitely. Pointing at someone doesn't have the same effect as wand ... or gun.

... sooo ... Grace expected to be cyborg and is disappointed that the game starts before the character is turned into cyborg? (Not played it, but read wiki article)

You can get very similar results If the governments nationalize all the corporations or if the corporations buy out the governments. I'm sure the megacorporate lawyers are saying that. The difference is that governments answers to people. Corporations answers to shareholders. The answering might not be sincere - in BOTH cases - but the difference is still there.

Personally, I would prefer some better question. Like, the Amanda's date question was actually good, as it answered some questions about how much canon it is. I hope too. It makes more sense to color the covers compared to normal pages - there is only few of them, so it's not so big problem if it takes longer, and yes, they need to be effective.
