Wapsi Square Forum

I think the most shocking thing about this update is seeing the Starr family at home, and they are all in human form. I don't know about anyone else, but when I used to come home from the job that I had to wear business clothes to, the first thing I did when I got home is took them off and got into...

Yea she does get a little testy when made to do something. Could very well be the spoiled brat in her. Or conversely, her parents have been on a "you've got to do something with your life" jag recently and now a teacher is piling on. Perhaps at the request of her pushy parents. In my case...

Looks like she does have a suit. As well as an encyclopedically-complete set of reference texts on the theoretical psychology of dating and relationships. Either that, or one hell of a good collection of anime and/or sitcom DVDs. :) And who knows how much recursion is involved from all these sources?

Friends first. Always Friends first. Romantic Love blinds the participants to the (often fatal) defects of the partner. It makes an otherwise happy condition into a living hell when the Romantic Love wears off. And it is always a mistake to think he/she can reform. Especially in this case where both...

I was wondering if Pickle's eye buds are what she morphs to present normal eyes and if they are slowly assuming a normal eye shape.
Then again, it would make sense if she expanded the surface and/or flattened the "retina" to focus on small nearby objects.

If Castela's outburst is around the corner at the Con then it make the job a little simpler for the MIB. After all weird things are done by weird people at these things all the time. But I too was wondering if the page title actually implies that Castela went home before she let loose. Raw concrete ...

I, for one, have never seen glass break like that, so I favor the plastic theory in this case. Poorly tempered plastic will break any which way, so I suspect they were really cheap, perhaps even "home made" somewhere in the para community. Still, it takes quite a bit of force to shatter so...

Thankfully she doesn't share their appetites.

Yes

I wonder... how much of Castela's ability to mimic human appearance is entirely a physical skill of rearranging her plant-based structure? Is there any element of glamour to it (such as the Fae use)? For a plant to convincingly imitate mammalian eyes is quite the accomplishment, even if it is a lig...

Well, that answers my question from yesterday. It's painted on, and Atsali is supporting the whole show. I think Jin is aware of what kind of impression Atsali will actually make, but is trying not to let on so as to prevent pre-event angst, or even an outright refusal to go. Atsali does need to be ...

I'm wondering if the front is painted on or engineered by Gustave Eiffel.

I'm waiting to see a whole new cant on the "Little Black Dress".

Look at her... They grow up so fast!

Naw, a wall to keep the kids off the lawn.

The Q room is an extremely powerful tool and is probably available to anyone with access to the Library. In the case of the Gilchrists, and Kathrine in particular, it is needed for maintaining the well-being of Paras trying to wrap what is essentially a human mind around a very inhuman environment. ...

Well Kevin does know who hes dating so i dont see it as a shock to him. There is a difference between knowing something intellectually and actually understanding it. After this event Kevin will likely understand Bud a little more, but still not see the full implications of what she is. But will Kev...

All's well that ends with Whatsit hugs. Assuming that they're not angry thorny vine-of-death Whatsit hugs. And I wonder what sorts of holidays they celebrate where a random sisterly hug is taken to mean that it is a holiday? Free Hugs Day? National Siren Appreciation Day? International Social Philo...

Hopefully Castela will have the presence of mind to discuss how to breach the subject with Atsali with Tante Phix and Kath... She seems mature enough to have wanted to know why Atsali had such issues with being left... I can only hope that she's mature enough to know she can't just dump this on Ats...

Wowie. Look at her feet, first panel. On Stone. Rocket=style reaction from the plasma blast - and note that she also apparently put out some sort of extra anchor roots. Okay? Now check Bud's feet. On desert hardpan, true, but stone - especially βιβλιοθήκη stone - is a lot tougher than hardpan. Bud ...

It would seem that a Wapsi entity is somehow assigned a humanoid form and at the time of the raid this had not been done for Castela. Castela is certainly capable of understanding English at this point albeit in a limited way, but she may have had a particularly hard time mastering her bipedal form....
