Re: El Goonish Shive
Okay, asking some native native here, is "busybody" a real word? Because it sounds ludicrous.
If so, what does it mean exactly?Quoth the raven, "Polly wants a cracker."

Re: El Goonish Shive
And so a comic sacrifices weird but cute to weird&surreal&somethingelse. This can be well played.

Re: El Goonish Shive
I don't think its sacrificing that, too early to jump to that conclusion. way too early.

Idea: Nanase's leaking magic all over without even realizing it. Her subconscious magic-leaking spiked the punch with her clone spell.

Re: El Goonish Shive
The debt Jerry says immortals owe is to the group of both Susan and Nanase, because what the immortals did wrong was done to both of them. Jerry would know this from Sarah's recap, even though he didn't actually meet Nanase, and he's had plenty of time to track her down.
He knows quite well that Diane is not Susan - he told her that he owes her sister a debt, not that he owes her a debt.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

Man, Diane, you need to be more like your possible sister, and only reveal things like emotions and backstories slowly and grudgingly.I use black for sarcasm.

Re: El Goonish Shive
I really doubt her statement about her impression of Nanase was intentional. I think she blurted it out because she's freaked out and talking faster than she's thinking. It also explains why Nanase's experience with Elliot was a factor in her initial interest in him.
Honestly, Diane's taking her first taste of the Shive lifestyle fairly well. She went to get help at the first sign of oddity, has kept her head despite getting (justifiably) panicked. She also hasn't tried to pull her usual Alpha Girl play, opting instead to leave the experienced members of the group in charge. And yet she's also asking good questions and challenging questionable decisions.
This is good, because Rhoda is already a pawn in Pandora's game. Diane would not have been able to avoid the Shive lifestyle indefinitely, and with Jerry in play this is probably an almost ideal introduction to it. Much better than Susan's, definitely.Spoiler: My inventory:

Re: El Goonish Shive
no this is refreshing.
we have too many people doing that stories because the story says so, people don't withhold things like that and such, they tell it when it comes into their mind, if you really need to save backstory and such for a different point, use something different than "the character doesn't want to talk about it right now"

Re: El Goonish Shive
Crazy Theory Time. Diane is doing this unconsciously. Pandora gave her a mark. Check the small of her back. Jerry is on to Pandora and is trying to help but he has to do it within the "Rules." Maybe his oath of debt to Susan is letting him do a bit more than he normally could but even then he still has to be subtle.

Re: El Goonish Shive
I have a couple crazy theories for the partygoers apparently turning into Nanase:
Crazy theory #1
SpoilerIt's not Nanase they resemble, but Tedd in his female form. Could be something Lord Tedd is trying to pull, as he is also the only character I can think of that anyone's called a Lord. He could be using the excess magic to push himself through in some complicated manner that a crazy amount of exposition would have to explain.
Crazy theory #2
SpoilerIt's not Nanase, it's Terra that they resemble - The mage Magus was fighting before he transferred over to the EGS world where he's incorporeal and trying to get Ellen to V5 Elliot. He claims to be Ellen's father, which would tie into the name of this particular plot arc. This could be a side-effect of Magus trying another way to revive himself.
The figure that just landed infront of them in the latest comic:
Beats me. In this comic, it could be anything from Vlad to another summoned creature.Haley: Oh, I guess I'll just have to accept getting twice as much gold as the rest of you.
Roy: You brought this on yourself, you know.
Haley: Yes, yes I did.

Re: El Goonish Shive
I will be so upset if Ellen doesn't use her copy beam on that thing and we get a giant monster fight.
