The Library ought to have a locator system. It does - she hasn't been shown how to use the touch-grid system, though. Or she's in full-on panic mode and isn't thinking Monica was in a hurry to reach the ground floor of the Atrium in a hurry thanks to Shelly. She thinks Cricket jumped trying to comm...

Castela called the spider " a sweet little bear ". Could it actually be one of the ursa sisters? Doubt it. The way the spider is drawn, it's likely to be a jumping spider. And out of all the spiders that I've run into Jumpers are the ones with the most personality. Other spiders ignore yo...

Dietzel is a bull terrier, like the dog in these photos

Ah, same breed as Spuds Mackenzie.

Artists? Werewolves? I suspected that vampires would find a place in the legal profession, but I thought that they might be attornies or IRS auditors. Who knew!? :? Weresharks. ... and all this time I thought that monkeys were the writers . :o Anyone catch the name on that script? It cut off too fa...

At least we have some idea of what ppbbbth sounds like now. When she says "the school decides" I wonder if she means the people/beings in the school decide or the school itself decides? That is to say, is the school sentient like the Library and makes decisions as to who will be the de-fa...

Anyone else get the feeling this story is not going to end with "and they lived happily ever after"?

How does Cricket know about this? Doesn't seem like something that would be common knowledge, even among Fae.

And does this mean there could be others like Castela out there?

I'm pretty sure it is. I'm also pretty sure she has no idea what Monica is snarling at her about.

Aww, Phix is playing 'Mind Games'. I LIKE it. However Deep down I think Monica wants to help this kid. I'm sure she does. But a fear of trying and failing to help the kid runs even deeper. "I'm too fucked up to be responsible. I'll just make things worse." Her friends have far more confid...

She does have a point, though - Saturdays TOO?


...of course, the whole thing is going to REALLY go downhill when Atsali utters those three words: "Hi Aunt Monica!"

And then asks her what 'fisting' means.

Crickets parents behaved like typical royalty and fae. Only see the kids when it is scheduled. But they did not arrange for tutors, or care givers. Again fairly typical for Fae. Now being royalty explains the guards and sequestering of Cricket. where they messed up was no nanny. The thought may nev...

Illusionary friends explains why Nadette couldn't see their faces or shadows; they never really existed.

Cricket's response may seem like overkill, but it's completely in line with old myth. Fae had a nasty temper, and a nastier sense of humor.

A stunned silence now. Tomorrow... KA-BOOM!

On the other hand, we now have Phix and Bia, on the same patch of sand, outside of the Library's protective environment. It will be interesting to see whether a confrontation develops, or whether the two studiously ignore one another, or whether they get down to real talking of a productive sort. W...

I was just noticing that. She was so thoughtless when processing the reality of Tina's existence, but here seems to have gently pierced Jin's wall with much finesse. To be fair, Tina's power was going little haywire at the time due to one of her constituent demons taking the morning off, and influe...

Yay for goats. (I'm a Capricorn myself) I suspect it might be a reference to Giles Goat Boy by John Barth. A very strange and surreal novel to read. Look it up on wiki for more information. It is a good read but be prepared for mind stretching is unusual directions. lol. I was thinking it was a ref...

"I try to tell myself that I saved them, and finally gave them peace."

Anyone getting the feeling this is followed by an unspoken "I wish I could believe it"?

(Note: Connie is shivering. This may mean something.)

I think it means she's really not a hugger.

Pan, perhaps? Or maybe Dionysus?

Well, looks like when I mentioned throwing punches yesterday, I forgot about someone.

At least I was right about none of the adult characters beating the crap out of her.
