Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Subtext is everything. The quoted text mentions flesh puppets, and bunch of souls downloading into one. Sciona is made of flesh, there is a bunch of souls in stone there.
Actually, since the subtext of this is being an alternative to escape pods, then the explanation that makes sense in this subtext is a puppet for everyone.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
That isn't subtext, that is a guess. A guess based on the text but that doesn't make it subtext.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
My original theory was eternal screaming power source to boost her abilities to the danger zone. But then i remembered she is a blood mage, not a soul mage, not a dark magic fueled by pain and misery mage, so im going to go there with you. She will try to setup a ritual to take over earth. May be the twilight faction, may be whoever is handy, but she is going to replace her people on earth, or try to anyway.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
All she has to do is find her own way back. She did the slow sad hulk walk off into the deserted world thats now under attack. Thats exactly the kind of setup that makes it easy to dismiss her as taken care of. Keep her head down on her return, and make sure the first sign of her return is the screaming as the twilight council becomes possessed by her races ruling body or whatever.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
True, that just means it will take her awhile to harvest it from herself if needed. Again, it works to her benefit in that it means she will be gone for long enough that no one will be looking for her anymore. If she came right back its possible the councils mages would be searching for her just too make sure, risking exposure, but vanish for a couple months (you know, until this freaking flashback ends) an they will have slacked off.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
As Traab noted, we've seen an outside force affect the bubble. However, we have NOT seen an inside force affect it yet (not counting the flight orb and Sydney herself). So even if outside forces affect it, inside ones might not if they aren't done by the orb wielder.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Speaking of the lighthook, can we just sit back for a sec and enjoy the physics breaking ability of it? Its similar to other physical strength powers in that it ignores newtons laws to a hilarious degree. Where is the equal and opposite reaction? Maxima lifts a tank over her head? Thats lord knows how many tons pressing on the ground through the tiny surface area of her feet. Maxima should have sunk up to her armpits in the dirt. Ok, so maxima can fly, that solves that problem, clearly she was levitating just enough to counter it, but what about stalwart? Dude explicitly states his foot stomp had the weight of a space shuttle. He has no flight, explain the tiny crater? Now for sydney, she has no powers whatsoever, so it doesnt really matter if her lighthook can lift 15 tons, something capable of putting up resistance to it should be able to swing her 90 pound soaking wet skinny carcass around. Heck, I could hurl her around by her lighthook.
In that scene with vehemence, lets just assume the orb itself grants her the ability to root herself to the ground for a equal amount of force to offset that. Does that mean at the time he was pulling with 15 tons, 100 pounds of strength? The fact that he was pulling her, could he have yanked the orb out of contact with her hand by jerking harder on the tentacle? We know they cant go more than a certain distance away, but they can go out of arms length. So many little details. Maybe when daves grandkids finish the comic they will have explained all this."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Dave's grandkids? Someone's feeling optimistic.
More on point, I'm fairly certain Dave will get bored with the whole thing and it'll probably be dead by the end of the third arc. Assuming the Net even supports webcomics that long.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Humans and I assume any other creature don't create blood out of thin air. You eat stuff to process nutrients. That planet looks completely barren (no plant or animal life).
No, it's just a soul battery, and there is a note from author about souls entering other creatures. Yeah, no wink, wink, nudge, nudge there at all . Maybe foreshadow is a better word, but there are strong hints what will happen.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Okay, we now know the shield does have an achievable limit on the amount of damage it can soak.
And it regenerates, too.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Oh thank gods! we finally got proof of the shield not being completely bonkers.
And also a idea of how it looks when said shield is being pushed to the breaking point.
From this it looks like Max could hammer her way though given time and sufficiently motivation. But i also doubt anyone else except perhaps Vehemence could.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
I have to admit im glad to finally see this happen. This was ALMOST enough to break the shield. It took it right down to the red. Can anyone with the math skills work with the image of the tiny shield i the middle of the blast radius to tell us how big that crater is? Just kinda curious as to the force involved. I wouldnt be surprised if it was city block sized.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
https://pasteboard.co/HtI9Mha.png width seems about 19 shields. Based on the panel a few pages ago the current shield width is less than 4 of that guy https://pasteboard.co/HtIesOR.png. Lets say 7m. *19= About 130 meter if the relations in the drawing are correct.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
I'm not sure if she's dissolving or just surrounded by souls she busted out of the battery.
From the description of the Alari, I'm hoping this goes horribly wrong and their 'wiped out' status is confirmed.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Certainly the implication of her last comment is SOMETHING will happen to her body that would render it not "hers" anymore, whether its dissolving in souls or going to be possessed by a billion souls.

At least if the souls begins to posses coma patients or simular people of weak spirit.
I don't think she is dissolving. She is engulfed by souls (like getting in middle of a huge wave).thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
I figured she was joining with the gestalt for some reason. Maybe she has given up on doing it aloe and will wait with the other souls to be reborn? Or whatever the plan may be.

Re: Grrl Power IV: Constantly Expanded Universe
Let's see, her bloody hand is connected to her arm, covered in swirls of soul energy. Nothing about that says 'dissolving'.
That does to me say dissolving into soul energy herself.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar
