Didn't we already moved to bigger number? OT14 didn't even included Ashley, did it? I think last graph done was OT23.

Beware averaging characteristics.
You may end up with characters who are average.

Blasphemy! Every Q&A is another chance to see Lisa make out with Amanda!

So once again, if someone had just been honest and straightforward, a lot of shenanigans could have been avoided.
Let us all be grateful that humans will rarely if ever be honest and straightforward.

Who is Smoke?
If Grace is correct in the wizard assessment, then I would offer a few guesses.
Smoke is an inexperienced wizard.
Smoke has, thus far, only learned transformation spells.
Smoke may be under the impression that transformation spells are the only spell type Smoke is able to learn.
Smoke has never knowingly encountered a significantly more powerful wielder of magic or someone with alien abilities.
Smoke has been playing with magic and was probably a big fish in a small pond.
Grace is the Shark in the next pond over.

And LOT of transformations, obviously.
And herself as immortal.
Still doesn't mean it's not happening in some parallel universe. After all, Dan is Sarah's character.

... while technically true, we saw more from Noriko than from him.
... but yes, I should probably reread EGS soon, I'm starting to forget

So every post on this message board has a little bent-over butt in its lower right corner, and if you like what you see you express your approval by tapping that?

It is almost as if the label attached to a person can't be relied on to accurately define them.

"Enough humility to ask" might not be THAT much.

 
Actually, we had a GREAT waterpark.  What you now call the Second and Third Cataracts of The Nile were specifically designed to be white water rafting facilities.  We probably would have enjoyed far more repeat customers if we also included helmets, life vests, and other safety gear with the ticket.
As for the hippo rides?  We tried.  We REALLY tried!  But the hippos simply refused to wait in long lines.

... yeah. It makes more sense if she wanted to distance Nanase not from Tedd but from Edward Verres specifically.
(Although I'm not sure if this is canon or reader speculation. There doesn't seem to be any details here.)

But hips don't lie!

Valentine's day? Ellen's "Birthday" would be coming up this Friday in comic.

Yeah, it's still very good idea to NOT talk in entrance to the shop.
Actually, it seems he's not freaking out BECAUSE Grace mentioned magic marks.
... is it possible he was avoiding Grace because after the experience with teaching her about transgender people he didn't wanted to teach her about magic marks?
Or is it just because getting more information about magic marks is more important than freaking out?
Also, if Pandora marked him without his knowledge (which would be how she would mark him) the "I don't think" would be good answer.
Note that I think Helena and Demetrius might already have power to mark someone. Not sure if they know how, however.
She started with telling him SHE has magic abilities, instead of saying she knows someone who is marked ... so I wonder if she plans to keep the fact she knows more magic users than mundane people secret.
IF she should tell him about someone being marked, it would be most logical to tell him SARAH is marked and that he can talk with her about magic marks. Although it's true that Tedd being marked with similar spell is second most logical thing to say. Possibly without NAMING Tedd - just mentioning that she knows someone with mark for changing genders.
... WHAT information he needs to know?
Like, he knows how to use his mark. Luke's friend is interested in WHY he was marked, but Sam doesn't seem to care about that. The information he will later awaken and get more spells would be useful to him, but he doesn't KNOW that.
He may ask about details about the spell, but the answer that spells varies a lot would be credible ... and useless. Tedd could tell him everything about his spell, but Grace REALLY shouldn't mention that.

Well I guess since I'm no longer investing in them, if Canada were to go bankrupt, it's all my fault.

Nope, and she knows she doesn't, which is part of her ongoing crisis.  

"After a while, you just don't see it anymore.  Everything.  I look at a star and it's just a big ball of burning gas, and I know how it began and I know how it ends, and I was probably there both times.  After a while, everything is just stuff.  That's the problem, you make all of space and time your backyard, and what do you have?  A backyard.
But you...you can see it.  And when you see it, I see it."     -The Doctor to Amy Pond, on why he brought her with him in his travels

It's hard to notice as Nanase is quite curvy even normally. It will be much easier to notice on Sarah. I meant "would".

It's assumed that Pandora, being as powerful as she was, had herself convinced that what she was doing was fine and dandy. Any other Immortal might have more difficulty doing so, Pandora said that most Immortals need a special set of circumstances and permission. So while Pandora might not have been the only one able to get away with doing what she did, it'd be a very short list of who else could, maybe Voltaire is one, I dunno, if so, maybe he's past his reset date as well BUT, I would expect the other Immortals would know that when he contacted them to discuss making changes to Immortal Law.

 
We need significantly more context to make the identity of the characters significant.

Haven't you heard of the new underground hospitals with wandering health specialists? I visited one last week and encountered an occupational therapist, a nurse, two interns and an opthalmologist. And all I wanted was some painkillers. It was an embarrassment of riches, practically.

Regarding the author's comments: Don't worry, Dan, I don't think you're old.
 

... not like Grace's childhood sucking was anything new. Dan even apologized for it and gave her bear.

Or, maybe he can transform to cloud, like some vampires (mist form). That's how it looks to me.
Yes. Although the crimes Sarah can do are considered more dangerous. Camdin wouldn't be able to get into nucler football ... Sarah would and noone will notice.
It's the contrast symbol on TV.
... no idea what spell it could be based on this.
Exactly.
With or without her antennae out?
Not THAT lot, IMHO, and she was mostly using ambient magic. Pandora warned her that more than four times per day wouldn't really help.
You mean it's not how PANDORA is working. I think Dan even directly stated somewhere that Pandora is deliberately shaping the marks as clues.
Hmmm ... power to reverse spells, that MIGHT match what Liz was saying ...
