The IVF argument (or any similar "came from a single fertilized ovum" argument) seems too much like having them be twins in every way that matters genetically and philosophically, while making them "technically not twins". I sincerely doubt that Dan is going to have the plot be hung up on such a technicality. Susan and Diane are connected, but not in the normal identical-twins sense.

Well, in Pandora's case, it's already been established that Immortals have magical stealth that cannot be penetrated even by other Immortals, so I wouldn't expect any magic-sensing alarms to detect her via magical signature.

Since Diane did not know prior to age six that she was adopted, then it almost certainly happened before her earliest conscious memories--probably by the time she was three, at oldest.

2 hours ago, Tom Sewell said:Neither do I, but why was Jerry at that party? Shouldn't he have been watching Susan? Jerry the Next Generation (JNG) may not have the power or smarts of Jerry the Original Version (JOV) but he's still an Immortal with powers and abilities far beyond those of (most) mortal men. Also smarts. My money still goes on JOV being right about the "long lost sister."
I thought that Jerry was at the party to watch Nanase. He does owe part of his promise to her after all. Also, if he was aware of who not-Tengu was, then he would have specific reason to be watching over Nanase and her friends.

If Edward's information is correct, yes. However, it does seem to be a bit of a coincidence for them to be born twenty minutes apart if they are not twins.
Just now, Arcanimus said:This feels like a massive red herring.
There's definitely far too much setup here for there not to be some cause behind their near-identical-ness, whether it be blood relation, parallel world shenanigans, or what-have-you.
Just now, The Old Hack said:I am refraining from further speculation at this point. I will say that I really like panel four. It appeals to my Buffy fan side.
I love the back-to-back poses and expressions in the first and fourth panels.

Tedd did refer to automated defenses/alarms having been set up in the Verres house by his father in http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1519 I think that this indicates that anything that would create an easily-detected magical signature would be noticed.
-
Edward is still skeptical about Tedd having encountered the Whales, so it's probable that none of Edward's magical security methods were able to detect them during or after their contact with Tedd. It is probable that the Whales exist on one of the astral levels, and thus are undetectable short of "scanning the entire spectrum" of astral levels in the vicinity (like detecting a radio transmission by scanning the whole radio spectrum).

From what we know, Sarah can not Awaken until she has developed more energy capacity through exercise. However, she could give Sarah a magical-energy battery that she could wear and trickle-charge (similar in principle to Tedd's gauntlet).

1 hour ago, hkmaly said:Talking about what Sarah will tell, though ... it IS possible Pandora will tell her to take Tedd and Grace with her and just be careful about what she tells them. Just because she talks to Sarah doesn't mean she assumes Sarah will do it alone.
It looks to me like Pandora plans to tell Sarah what must be done to break the energy clog.
Also, I think that the Frozen reference is deliberate, given what Pandora's current costume resembles.

3 hours ago, Tom Sewell said:Perhaps Pandora's plan was to kill Abraham all along. Perhaps the reason no one can destroy the Dewichery Diamond is that it's linked to Abraham--destroy one, destroy the other.
That's a fascinating idea about the Diamond--and would fit completely with Abraham's boneheadedness. Given the attitude that he's taken about deliberately extending his existence in order to stop the creations of the Diamond, I would not at all be surprised if he would consider suicide if doing so would actually ensure the Diamond's destruction.

You're looking at "now" now. Everything that you see now is happening "now".

Repeat to yourself: "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

Yes, it's loads of fun to see rational deconstruction applied to the Wizarding world.

I'm pretty sure that GED only applies if you did not graduate from high school. If you have a regular diploma, then that should replace all of the GED stuff.

Would it not be odd if everyone in the EGS-verse had an evil twin/twin of opposite personality?
(Do we also know what the citizens of Moperville are called?)
Half of the people would BE the Evil Twins, and thus they would have Good Twins.
Also, "villian" originally meant anybody who lived in a village (as opposed to "civilized" city folk).
I would like to see Ashley get the "magical empathy" spell, myself.
-
Well, none of the Inmortals are God in the "Creator Of The Cosmos" sense...
-
Also, the top religions today whose followers would be offended are monotheistic, and it is extremely implausible that Immortals, either singly or collectively, qualify as The Creator Of The Multiverse.
-
The huge jump in Grace's genre savvyness happened over the nearly-six-month time skip, so we can assume that she was gradually learning throughout it, which makes it much less jarring.
-
When it disintegrates, it disintegrates.

I think it's a matter of "Ashley's conscience is so strong that it would block her from being able to cast such a spell even if Pandora unlocked all of the magical barriers to it".

7 hours ago, PSadlon said:- Agreed, Also she'll R.Y.N.O. in the astral plane.
While Disco Wizard definitely does not look to much like Tensaided or Greg, certain things about him remind me of each of them.
R.Y.N.O. = "Rip You a New One"?
Anyway, I think that the similarity between Tensaided, Greg, and Disco Wizard is because they are all the same sort of Genre Savvy.
-
Yes, Grace's character has moved on beyond its early characterization of "cripplingly naive/sheltered". Having her go to school and work and generally socializing outside of her circle of friends has done a great deal toward helping her catch up on nearly eighteen years of social isolation.

8 hours ago, Arcanimus said: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.
Nah, Pandora can't be Haruhi. There's Aliens, Mages/Espers, and people from other universes, but no Time Travelers.

Being good to the degree that they are is rare, but being good enough to not want to go on a highly destructive rampage is probably common enough.
