      Welcome!   03/05/2016

      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

    But yes, the power and experience disparity between Pandora and those whom she marks does increase the resemblance to child molestation--the much more powerful and knowledgeable party is abusing their position and shirking their ethical duty in order to exploit the less powerful party.

    I thought that here would be the most appropriate place to post this since One Girl Guy Army was previously hosted on 910 CMX.

    Anyway, Panda Casey (formerly known as Panda Pete before coming out as transgendered) has been kicked out of her family's home recently, so I invite all who care to show your support in whatever way you are able.

    Here is her blog post on Deviantart about it:

    Since magical talents are supposed to be rare, it seems unlikely the spider-mage has the "making stuff out of magic" talent.  

    Not a one-shot redshirt of a villain anyway...

    However, if he was a Wizard (i.e. able to learn spells from others, and not limited to his self-developed ones), then he could very well have learned such conjurations as the production of weaponry. Wizards constitute a minority of Mages, but are not so rare that it's considered surprising.

    As for Noriko producing a child via Uryuom egg, I believe that this would only happen after she left Edward--how many husbands are comfortable with the idea of their wives producing a child with a partner other than themselves? Or perhaps her decision to do this is part of what led to them separating?

    Yes, Edward (and Adrian himself) are the two people whom the Main Eight know who just might be able to move enough people and resources to seriously cramp Pandora's Master Plan. Pandora thus has an interest in keeping those two on the edge of things until she has more pieces in place.

    From a certain point of view...

    If anyone doing the job is likely to die, why risk a highly trained expert or someone you know is loyal to you?

    Certainly, but you want them to be loyal enough not to backstab you in favor of the first person to offer them a few bottlecaps more than you did. Professionalism/personal honor can substitute for loyalty--they just have to be someone who isn't going to break a contract too lightly.

    I must be missing something... Why do you think Carol might have magic? Because she turned up at the mall so fast? I don't think that's enough of a reason to assume she has magic she may or may not know about. Sarah's affinity for her spell was incredibly hard to detect according to Pandora, so if Carol has any sort of affinity for magic, I think it would be just as easy to miss.

    Note how she stood still with her eyes closed for a moment, then suddenly launched into "Who wants an interview?" It looks very much like she was stopping to use some sort of spell, especially some kind of area-or-remote-perception spell (some have speculated that it is similar to Sarah's spell--a 3D virtual snapshot of her surroundings that can be examined at the speed of thought).

    I have always been of the opinion that charging the receiving party and not just the sending party for all text messages is akin to making all postal mail cash-on-delivery. It's basically a form of harassment if you are forced to pay for an unsolicited message that you would have rejected had you known who it was from, yet you have to pay for it before you can even find out that it's an unsolicited message rather than from a friend. Imagine if you had to pay postage on every piece of advertising that is sent to you in the mail whether you wanted to receive it or not.

    What if he'd had something in his pockets? Well, he didn't. As far as I can recall, his pocket contents have only been mentioned in the context of his superhero-spell forms.

    We know that for regular girly-morphs, Elliot's pocket items get transferred to a hidden pocket in the new clothes (or possibly simply ejected onto the floor if the new costume has no space to hold them, e.g. a bikini), since Elliot told Ashley as much after transforming at the mall. Some items do seem to be cosmetically altered to match the new form though--Elliot's cell phone case became pink and cutesy.

    Fortunately, Elliot is too noble to do that without feeling guilty about it.

    The interesting thing about the cell phone abilities is not so much that Elliot has them, but rather that apparently he needs no training in order to be able to employ them--there weren't any failed attempts while Elliot tried to figure out how to use the map function, for example.

    On alcohol and Susan's mom, the first time that we see Susan's mom (in Night Out), she is carrying around a half-filled cocktail glass. This implies that she is known to drink without need for a social occasion, but seems to prefer wines and cocktails over beer or hard liquor.

    Of course, Groucho was speaking of an economic environment where gold was $35 per ounce and a typical price for a pound of bread was fifteen to twenty-five cents--and where one dollar per hour was a pretty good wage rate.      So, an hour or two's pay for a pound of bread is indeed extremely high, but even with bread costing two dollars a pound or so these days, the average person can still buy as much of it on an hour's pay as back then.
