The Old Hack

Big talk from the Pharaoh who had a private crocodile park reserved for the mathematicians he didn't like.

There is only one thing we know for sure about Magus' world. It somehow turned the baseline version of Elliot into this ambulatory arsecrack calling itself Magus.

Meh. I'm sure my wife's cat is already on it.

Clearly, Magus' world is a felinocracy. It is ruled by cats. Just like ours.

It's Dan plotting out the preliminaries for his new cult movie project, Talk Club. Rule One: Do not fight about Talk Club.

I do. I also remember that I eventually told her to take that argument and stuff it.

Or maybe everything they know about them is wrong.

This isn't hugely relevant. I just felt like adding it because dragons.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2481 Sorry, Magus. Not buying it. That is just an excuse for not having enough time to consult Ellen. You could work around that.

I once read a book in which a group of sort-of bad guys (they were helping the protagonists at the time, after having locked horns with them in a previous book, and kept dancing back and forth across the line of opposing and helping as the series moved along) managed to panic the actual villains of the story by arriving in completely correct police uniforms. For all intents and purposes the real thing. Only this was in California and the badges they carried read NYPD, or New York Police Department. Plus points for having legally rented the outfits from a Hollywood costuming outfit.

Nooooooooooo. EGS becoming like Inu-Yasha. DO NOT WANT.

I really hope she is either careful or lucky in precisely what she grabs if she tries, though.

For some reason that made me think of this comic.

Well spotted. Also a better place for a fight than inside the building with all the boxes full of supposedly inert but now fully functioning and operational magical devices.

They aren't full of herring. I know. I took the herring, I needed it to chop down the tallest tree in the forest.

Personal? THIS! IS!! MOPERVILLE!!!

Also, the framerate needs to be really bad. Like, at most 10 to 12 FPS.

Today in future history: April 3, 2024. I finally perfect my time machine. But due to using artificial diamond in the central unit instead of a real one, I misjump several years back in time and the central unit burns out. To make matters worse, the first time I wait around long enough to attempt to warn myself I arrive just a moment too late. Maybe I will be luckier six years from now.

Provided that he is chasing/being chased by Freddie Krueger, most certainly.

Oh. Right. *scratches head* My apologies, Haylo, I got confused.

Remember, at the time they did not have any options for permanently turning anyone into the other gender save the rather drastic one that would make the target permanently female. Also, then and now, Ellen's principal motivation was to not just be a copy of Elliot. Moreover, Ellen has never experienced gender dysphoria; she has said as much and she has studied the matter. Whether this is because she fully identifies as female or she like the current Elliot is 'gender-meh', we cannot say, of course. Magus is operating from the assumption that Ellen is like Magus' own case, which is a tall assumption. He is also assuming that none of Ellen's friends would have noticed or cared if she had experienced gender dysphoria, which is more than a little insulting -- they would at the very least eventually notice that she was unhappy, which in fact Nanase did.

At this point I believe that distinguishing between them is somewhat akin to, as the esteemed Dr. Johnson put it, "establishing precedence between a flea and a louse."

Look as good never I did.

Soon Elliot will be over 900. o.o
