Seems like an appropriate, if elaborate, turn of phrase. Atsali really is going to have to come to terms with her sexuality at some point though. Species reputation or not, her obsession with projecting an image of virginal chastity has gotten to be pathological. Chemically suppressing one's libido ...

"Turns out to not be so weird" maybe?

Maybe Ursamorphs consider it thrilling to be "stuck" with a given outfit...
The new font threw me for a second; looks lighter and a bit more comics-y.

Surprising amount of empathy and concern here. I would have expected them both to be concerned with saving their own skins at best. The nature of the place may be screwing with them though...

Even if she's off screen, I do love that Tina got called in. Writer's all to often forget to use their character's abilities when it could solve a problem easily, and it's worth giving praise when they remember, or don't worry about short-circuiting potential artificial drama.

This makes it seem like Atsali has some other sort of neural deficit rather than autism. She doesn't really display any other autism signs, and if she was as much of a high-functioning autist as she seems to be, practicing would have helped. Prosopagnosia can't be it, as she can recognize people, bu...

I am assuming that this is metaphorical... Though it could be another matter if mama grew up in the ocean...

A new challenger has appeared! +1 friend for Atsali and +brownie points to Devyn!
Also, screw this guy.

Why-ever would she do that?

From Phix, or a handful of others, I would have pegged this as Xanatos-level reverse psychology... But this... this just seems like Atsali taking soaring flights of assumption.

An excellent update. Jessie's definitely trying to put her best fin forward on second(third?) impressions.
There is a typo though, "you" for "your" in Atsali's first bubble.

E: n/m works either way actually.

Nicely handled. However, if one attempt was made on Castela's life, others will probably follow. I can't see the Unseelie giving up after one failed attempt especially if they lost one of their agents in the operation. I actually think that losing an agent would make them more likely to give up, es...

Okay, that was magnificent.

Phix: Of course I'd never use reverse psychology on you, much less after being explicitly called on it... That would be silly! Why, I might as well try an appeal to vanity, or your opposition to a third party... But you're far too smart for any of that!

Atsali's such a good kid it's ridiculous, but this is touching. Here's hoping she's just made more new friends with the aqua teens.

Ok, so, is everyone else loving that Atsali seems to of become such a main character lately? I wasn't sure on her at first, but the more I've seen the more I like her. Hope she doesn't vanish for months at a time like some characters. Ah the perils of a freaking huge cast. I have to agree, I'm lovi...

Today's comic makes me incredibly happy. Atsali has excellent style, and it's good to see her making new friends, as well as coming back to herself. The outfit is incredibly cute, as are Nadette and Berdine's. It think they'll make for an excellent group.

I've just now noticed that Atsali is wearing three layers of shirts. I'm going with she was binding herself, and shouting at Castela used up more air than she's able to breathe (barely any). She's probably got herself wrapped down pretty tightly, and is using layers to minimize (a common trick), the...

I'd say this strip does a lot to clarify things and gives some good illumination of the world. Also, Castela is super cute!

And, I agree, that's probably one strong motivation for the Masquerade. I don't think there's only a single reason why the paranormals are choosing to stay hidden. The atrocities you've listed are fine examples of human cruelty and intolerance, but they ring a bit hollow when you consider that The ...

We live in a world where people routinely lose their lives over such superficial differences as skin color, sexual preference or personal beliefs. Reveal the existence of an entire sub-civilization of non-humans, who've been living among us all along in secret and things will get bloody, fast. It d...
