We may be getting a bit of backstory on Castela in a roundabout way.

ETA ninja'd by seconds again...

And I see the web site is back up, thank goodness and the FSM.

Yay! I found an Easter Egg

Possible last-second edit there? (empty word balloon with the "tail" pointed at Castela).

I'm still thinking unstoppable fae-killing machine that didn't get fully programmed before it left the lab but did get some programming, and the orphanage was trying to bypass the fae-killing parts of her programming when Kath adopted her.

Couldn't kill it, didn't want it made into a weapon against them, hardly counts as "good intentions". Wanted it socialized and happy, might count as "good intentions" had the two previous conditions not existed, but here it just is a sub-requirement of "not made into a weapo...

Not for the characters, they don't get to choose the words in their mouths. Besides there is a wall between them and the Jar, the 4th wall...

Funny the sax sounds an awful lot like either bagpipes or someone torturing a cat with a harmonica...

I think there is a pan-dimensional Pun Jar awaiting a not-so-flat payment from you.

You left off "Aunt M?!?"

Well in spite of getting what was going down all screwed up at first, I like the direction of Bia's arc in this story. Towards the greater good is always a good direction to go.

and apparently I'm stupid and thought Monica on the right was Phix, and Bia was Monica learning to shape shift.
