    Perhaps, once they feel safe enough for a nap.

    Let's say for the sake of argument that they have the proportional speed of cheetahs, which can sprint about four times as fast as a typical high school track team sprinter. Adjust that to their current size, and our duo are probably running at least twice as fast as any of the ordinary people who might try to chase them on foot.

    I thought that Seltzer water had stuff added in it?

    I think that he would.

    Even if Adrian does not feel personally responsible for her having been reset, she is still his mother and he would want to see after her well-being until she is properly self-sufficient.

    The shorter heights are their actual size. The taller heights are their relative proportions. Basically, when Rhoda made herself taller earlier, she didn't simply enlarge herself to just over six feet--she gave herself the proportions of a girl who is naturally six feet tall as opposed to a scaled-up five foot tall girl. However, this effect has been split in half as well as the shrinking, which means that Rhoda has the proportions of a 5'6" tall girl shrunk to 3'2" tall, while Catalina has the proportions of a six foot tall girl shrunk to 3'5".

    So, so, SO fortunate for Catalina and Rhoda that they do not look like themselves at the moment.
  8. Story Friday December 23, 2016

    I like the mental image of Adrian raising and/or training a reset Pandora, all the while still calling her "Mother".
  9. NP, Friday December 23, 2016

    Fortunately for Catalina and Rhoda, they look different enough from their regular selves that nobody is likely to recognize them.
  10. Story Friday December 23, 2016

    It's hardly his fault that Egyptians forgot how to read the Old Script in the intervening millennia.
  11. NP Wednesday December 21, 2016

    Possibly their cumulative height or mass is now divided equally between them, so combined they are either about six and a half feet tall, or combined they are like 160 pounds . . .
  12. Story Wednesday December 14, 2016

    Yes, but that was Edward's decision then--to STOP giving misinformation, now that the kids were in too deep. Way back when Grace first showed up, he wasn't willing to tell them the whole truth about her origin. After the kids had gotten in deep trouble fighting Damien, was when Edward became certain that they needed to know what they were doing. As for "someone under orders to infiltrate an organization ending up leading it", there is a VERY notorious example in post-WWI Germany, where a certain former Corporal was assigned to infiltrate a fringe political movement and report on their activities, and ended up taking over the leadership of it.
  13. Things You Find Amusing

    Seeing "Doc" and "Morty", for some reason my brain though "Marty" and "Doc Brown" from Back To The Future.
  14. In http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=928 we had Elliot waking up female after going to sleep male, which was the first sign of his energy buildups. Also in http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1157 Elliot didn't know that he had the "secret identity" part of the spell and triggered it without being aware.
  15. Story Wednesday December 14, 2016

    It's probably best to be a lesser manager of some type (or a low ranking officer such as First Lieutenant in a military setting in which the boss is a Major or higher). Enough status that people won't question your presence in any but the most restricted areas, but not so high that you're on the short list of leaders who all ought to know each other personally--it's bad to be "recognizable on sight" by the majority of the organization. Anyway, nobody said that the "developed in sequence" version was the version that Edward had learned--he very likely used it because Elliot, Tedd, and Sarah were not in the "need to know" for the true version. As for Jeremy, Max, etc. there were probably some of them "left behind" when everybody at the lab died/fled from Damien's attack, so I could see them being adopted as pets as a result, though that doesn't really explain how Adrian got hold of Max (or Max's parent) if he and Edward were already no longer on friendly terms.
  16. Story Wednesday December 21, 2016

    Hmm, if Pandora's hatred of Abraham went way back, then she might even be responsible for the Diamond seeming to "attract" cursed people--she would have "guided" them to it, in order to trigger Abraham into coming out of his hibernation so that she could take another crack at him.
  17. Story Wednesday December 21, 2016

    It might also be the other way around, and the werewolf that killed Blaike was a creation of the Diamond . . . It would give Pandora plenty of reason to want Abraham dead in that case.
  18. The Weather.

    And here I thought that the biggest cause of the Schism between the East and West churches was because the Emperors in Constantinople didn't want to let the guy in Rome claim it all for himself?
  19. Story Friday December 16, 2016

    Yea, but it's already been established that Pandora is more than a bit crazy after so long without a reset.
  20. Story Friday December 16, 2016

    Yes. Noah has also never met Pandora before AFAIK. This is only the second time that she has appeared to Adrian in fourteen years. We don't know yet if Noah has heard enough of the conversation to learn that Pandora, the visiting Immortal, is Adrian's mother.

    It would be cute if we did.

    It's likely to last for as long as production requires the permission of absentee landlords (i.e. somebody who owns the factories or farms, even if it's the government). As long as placating an employer is necessary to gain access to the means of production, then the "successful" worker is the one best skilled at gaining the employer's favor. If we are not going to reverse the centralization of ownership in order to allow more direct access, then employers will have to start rewarding the high-producing worker above the butt-kissing worker.
  23. Pinup Single Dec 8 2016 - Sarah

    True. My overall point was that the main determinant of individual success in modern society is one's ability to convince others to hand over a piece of their own resources/influence/support as opposed to the ability to generate such resources--in other words, redistributing the flow towards oneself is massively more successful than adding to the supply. Instead of directly creating wealth, the way to get ahead is by finding a way to talk everybody else into giving you theirs.

    Tea-flavored sausages might be interesting. Sausage-flavored tea, not so much.
