    Arcanimus got a reaction from Pharaoh RutinTutin in Last Post Wins   
    It's not like I did it intentionally. It sort of just happened, and I went along with it for twenty-some years. Now everything is a tangled mess that's going to be even harder to deal with, on top of the stress of working as a manager in retail.
    I'll just put the lid on and keep going until I can't anymore. *shrugs*

    I hope Edward doesn't swing it.  DNA testing requires expensive and fragile equipment.  I would hope Edward handles government property like that with care.

    Everything is up in the air again! Are Susan and Diane really sisters? Will Tedd confront Magic about his disappointment? Will PharaohRutinTutin's pyramid mortgage be foreclosed? Is mlooney's dishwasher secretly summoning Nyarlathotep? Is CritterKeeper really The Old Hack's maiden aunt?

    Their first album, S//plice//lice//cience, sold well in Japan, but only released to moderate acclaim in the US and EU, despite difficulties with getting the guitar guy to record a studio album or play live concerts. Their second album, sans guitar absolutely tanked, and now they  primarily play birthday parties and weddings with a new guitarist.

    Technically, Abraham is a time traveler. He can only go in one direction, but its safe to say that he's well outside his original time.

    Welp. I'm on the bandwagon to believe that Pandora is the Will of Magic, or a part of it. Her previous incarnation has memories of the last system reset, and the fact that there have been no other resets since she's been in her current incarnation is just too large a coincidence to overlook for me. Granted, it's flawed, in that she supposedly was there during the "incident", but that could be a false memory planted by her previous self to cover her tracks in some kind of "I'm not allowed to know that I'm the will of magic"-type, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-esque plot.
    Or I'm overanalyzing.

    Just thought of something (theory that I don't necessarily consider likely)... the way that magic contacted Grace, perhaps to actually contact Pandora, seems convoluted, like something that an old immortal (like Pandora) might do.  And if that's the case, if magic itself is (or was created by) an immortal, then he/she/they/it resetting would probably change how magic works.

    To be completely honest, I find Pandora to be no more unstable than the people I deal with every day at work. She's eccentric, sure, but I've always found sanity to be relative.

    Several comments:
    1. I've seen the idea expressed that our reality changes according to our understanding, possibly because we are actually a computer simulation and the programmers keep tweaking the system. As one example of this, you can find DECADES worth of old biology books which say that humans have 22 chromosome pairs, with no dissent or disagreement... and have photographs of human cell nuclei where you can count 23 chromosome pairs. Suddenly, apparently in one abrupt change, everyone who counted the chromosome pairs started counting 23 instead of 22.
    2. Honey badgers are not dubbed "honey" for their disposition. That would be "rat-ass-vicious-bastard badgers". (Which is a pretty accurate description of all badgers. And wolverines are about the same.)
    3. From what we've seen of spellbooks for Awakened individuals (Wizard spellbooks might be different; we haven't seen any), a spellbook does not contain "how to cast this spell". Instead it contains a detailed description of the spell's effects and how much the individual can choose to vary them. This doesn't seem like it would be of much use, on its own, to someone else - even a wizard - wanting to learn how to cast the spell. Although it would be useful alongside some other source of "how-to" information, such as maybe a suitably competent observer watching it being cast.

    I'm getting sleep, and plenty of it. However, it feels like all I'm doing is getting more and more tired. I might just be dehydrated, as its upwards of 90 degrees in my room at any given time, and I seem to have sprung a sweat leak like a burst water main. 
    You'd get a cease and desist order in the mail for attempting to re-brand Apple products.
