    But how will she be properly expressive without her EARS? Aside from their obvious seductive side, they are also useful for expressing emotion!

    She has ARMS now. She can wave those around expressively. Or something. Failing that, she could learn to wiggle her other pair of ears.

    I can't help but laugh at that : because in my old engineer school, "ears" is the slang word for an other pair of spheric anatomic parts, and Marena has the Twin-Faced Hero Knack.

    I don't think there's anything anyone could do that'd stop Marena being pretty. Or Secret being kyoot, but hey.

    Yeah, but now she has ARMS. Big, round, soft, arms. Fleshy and...

    Sorry, this wound up in a very different place than I started.

    Maybe not, but I'd still hit it

    It's kind of funny how the comic keeps conspiring to make all their powers useless in the grand scheme, or at least presents them with a situation where only one of their power sets is truly useful. Secret doesn't get hit with this too often, but she seems to have some defeatist tendencies that keep her power level in check unless she's convinced she's got the upper hand. Even though everyone has explode-y super powers, it's nice to see that diplomacy and guile are still the best options for the most part. That's probably why I like the comic as much as I do.

    So that's what he's been working on! Good thing, or there would have been no explanation for how they could feasibly get across the Blessed Isle. Phew!

    Bluh, exposition comics. Need to try and avoid pages like this in future.
    Please don't avoid pages like this in the future.

    Honestly, a lack of pages like this tends to be a detriment in my opinion. There's too much that the characters know that they don't talk about because they all know it already. Things like where they're going, what they plan to do when they get there, and what's at stake if they suffer a setback or failure.

    Exposition is incredibly important to a story. It lets you know what is going on so you know what to feel about it. It also illuminates the actions of the characters because you know why they're doing what they do, or you can make predictions based on what we know about them.

    Exposition is a tool, don't forsake it entirely.

    Also, back to the main topic -- so, wait, he invented bracelets that conceal their animas... and, as a (ahem) side-effect, prevent them from accessing peripheral Essence?

    Sneaky. (For those who don't know the rules to Exalted - your anima becomes visible only when you spend peripheral Essence.)

    WHAT!? Divas Mal doesn't have arms! I mean, if he did, they'd have specified it when he was first described.

    It doesn't hide their anima, it hides their Exalted nature. There are ways of telling someone is Exalted other than them spending peripheral Essence.

    "Save"?

    This is Exalted, not D&D. And there are in fact perfect perception charms in Exalted.

    Not sure if Alchemicals have them. But they were homebrewed.

    My personal favorite charm of all time is the lunar charm "Eye of the Cat."

    If (and only if) it is completely impossible for the lunar to see something (as in "does not allow a roll") the lunar sees it perfectly and automatically.

    I wonder how that would work with a blind lunar.

    Yeh, it's a bit of a misnomer. Dodge MDV is really more like Resistance; you simply ignore the argument because you are steadfast in your own belief.

    One thing that I thought about a bit, do we actually know that Secret's name ends with the word "Dead?" I've looked but can't find it in the comic. It it just fanon?

    Edit: Also comment on the new page.

    Haha, Marena dolphin. And Ten looks kind of unfazed. "Floodwave. Huh."

    We only know that she can say it up to a word that starts with "De-". We don't know whether it is "Dead" or if it is indeed the last word.
