    It worked, didn't it?  Heck of a lifeboat, and done on the fly, too.  If there's ever another series set later than TNG (as TNG was set later than TOS), I hope that is one of the standard just-in-case features of the transporters.

    Weren't both DS9 and Voyager concurrent with, and then lasting past, the end of tNG? Or do you mean one set a far distance beyond tNG, like how tNG was a half century or so past tOS?

    Maybe it seems so obvious no one is mentioning it, but Sirleck actually wants to save Ellen and Elliot because they are both needed to get Mage's body back. It's pretty obvious why Sirleck wants to do this "favor." And soon; the old man he's using as a mount is already brain-dead and it's probably harder and harder to keep the rest of the mount alive. Otherwise why not enjoy the old man's wealth until it runs out?

    There's also a plot-hole kind of a mile wide here: What's so hard about keeping the money? All Sirleck has to do is marry a young bimbo, make her the old man's heir, and take over her body. As soon as he makes the jump, the old guy dies and it should look like natural causes to anyone not in on The Secret. Say, does this remind you of a real-world bimbo who married an extremely old man who kicked off not that many years ago?

    Uhm. How did you manage to do a double post 14 hrs apart?

    Oh, I understand his reasons, I was just saying it's unfair to not *tell* the rest of his fandom that that's how he's doing things this time.

    I feel like I have read him say it outside of Patreon at some point, but can't remember where. Also, I suspect it's not purely Patreon only, as he's addressing the confusion around Arthur vs Old Man Sirleck at the very least. I think he's just focusing mostly on Patreon asked ones.

    I think it boils down to Elliot currently being at "Routine", but that seems likely to (and actively is in the process of) change(ing) to "Enthusiastic". However, I don't think you could currently call it enthusiastic just yet. Not enough data in the story itself for that to be a sure bet for something like this quiz. Also, he may mostly be enthusiastic for the Cheerleadra form due to the powers and not specifically for being the opposite sex, which is more the heart of this question.

    (Though being able to awaken individuals would bump it up a little higher.)

    This is a thing they can do.

    "Has the ability to alter themselves to a different state in which they maintain different abilities. Appends other powers, but only in this state. Can also include general altered states."

    that label only works if you treat Awakening as an altered state of being, rather than the activation of powers. Otherwise there's no underlying change of state.

    Huh? How so?

    I just had a thought regarding this comic. What if Pandora wasn't the one controlling Dex? What if it was Voltaire? I know the urn symbol on the pendant hints towards Pandora with the old roots of the Pandora's Box myth, but I'm not sure we've had a definitive yea or nea if that is what the symbol means.

    Meanwhile, Dex was mentioning 'for the greater good.' Pandora doesn't really seem like the type to care about the greater good. She cares about her son and things being interesting. I imagine she could use 'for the greater good' as means to manipulate someone into doing something interesting, but what we've seen of her direct action, she prefers to nudge things into motion and then let them develop organically (much more interesting that way).

    Voltaire, on the other hand, is certainly willing to use 'for the greater good' to advance his agenda as seen in this comic. I don't know what he would have gained from killing everyone at the dojo, but little is known about Volty's plans or end goal.

    OOoooh, I like that idea...

    Hmm, compared to his more recent "gender-meh" attitude, it was interesting to see Elliot state outright he's mentally male even when transformed, in the immediate aftermath of his first outing as Cheerleadra.

    This is one reason I pushed against the "Elliot is genderfluid" idea that was going around on the forums before the "gender-neutral / gender-meh" shift in the story. He identified as male regardless of his outer form, so that's what I felt he should be known/referred to as. This has clearly changed by now though, or has at least become much less the case.

    Hiding a weapon behind the speech balloon?

    I'm surprised the Joker never attempted that trick against The Batman.
    It is definitely in the "So Crazy It Might Work" category.

    That'd be more Deadpool's domain, I do believe.

    Pretty sure Dan had his sights on parallelizing Sirleck and Abner.

    ...huh? Did you mean to say this in another thread?

    I did not want to.

    So what did you mean by it?

    May 4th's a good date. In addition to being Star Wars day, it's also my grandma's birthday and my girlfriend and I's anniversary date. And then Mother's day's right around the corner from it.

    Oh dear. Writer's Block... this story line is gonna be... either a doozy, or just plain scary. Maybe both.

    Nope.

    Apparently I'm the odd one out here. ~shrug~

    On another matter, am I the only one who thinks the weirdest part of the sequence are the gloves and slippers in the last two panels?

    Yeah, it's the only thing slightly bothering me about the sequence...the colors inverted. Her fur on the feet and hands changed color into the same color that her body fur was...while the body fur went away. Just feels odd, like she has slippers and gloves on rather than those being natural due to still being in transition from werewolf form.* Otherwise I quite like it.

    *unless she's supposed to be fully human in the last image, and those are literally slippers and gloves?

    May I ask why you all were so against the griffin theory? Don't you like griffins?

    For me the reason I rejected the Griffon Theory is because (at the time) I naïvely believed that "I am in search of Avalon" was just a one-off gag.

    Same, it just seemed too ridiculous to think there was more to it.

    That was a fair bit of it for me too, and it seemed like a really bad idea to introduce Yet More Characters into the story. We already have a hard time seeing all of the main 8 every half year.

    I was a pretty hard sell on the griffin idea as well, it basically wasn't until just before Tara's reveal that I finally accepted it.

    I was a pretty hard sell too. Though I admitted relatively early on that it looked more and more likely, I wasn't happy about it.

    Since I'm about to take the cliff-dive into Windows 10, I would really appreciate it if you (as a group) would lead me to some Windows 10 tweaking programs, in the same vein as what I've been used to using in Windows 7. I've done some searching and have already found a couple of essentials:

    O&O ShutUp10 (privacy tool from O&O Software)

    Start10 and Fences (tweakers from Stardock Corporation) (BTW, Fences works great on Win7,8,and 8.1 also)

    Are there any others that I need to look at?

    None that I myself am aware of. Granted, I personally found Windows 10 to be mostly fine on that front when compared to Win8.

    Though that O&O Shut Up 10 looks neat. I'm going to look into that.

    Summoned weapons ARE magic weapons, Susan's ability doesn't let her teleport a weapon out of her chest, she summons a magic copy of it, hence why they're only good for 1 solid hit. So both references are correct.

    Right. I'm just saying that Diane's power isn't necessarily going to be summoning anything. It could be anything related to magic weapons.

    And I'm still wondering what the hell this all means.

    It's Elliot's version of Curiosity and Logic, or Diane's angel and devil. Just a representation of his mental state.

    But something being unsettling doesn't make it impossible.

    I just don't think it's something Dan would introduce. This is the same universe that has magic force transformations as being safe. I don't think magic would then slowly manipulate someone's identity to fit what it thought they were. Just doesn't seem "in character" for Dan's magic system.
