And the laughs just keep coming.

[NOTDilbert]

Jin's day is certainly having it's ups and downs.

Also: beer goggles for Conscience = EPIC FAIL.

[Fairportfan]

BAD Connie!

No messing with Jin's head!

[DilyV]

@_@ OMG, Did Conscience just tell Jin she needed to get laid?

[Tenjen]

all the creepy mummy girls is seriously irking Jin's pseudo-PTSD XD

also everytime Bia speaks, she jsut tends to put all the cards on the table in one breath.

i guess someone who's been around as long as her with the company she keeps has learnt to air out all the laundry immediately before shit goes down later. Communication does kill, or cause misunderstandings that cause century long feuds

[Dave]

Wow. I thought that a drunken golem was a hazard.

A drunken elemental... one who was already direct and rather tactless when sober... yee-ha! "Merriment ensues!"

One can only imagine what Connie is going to be like in the morning, when the world-class hangover kicks in.

[Timotheus]

Six months from now, when I go back and read through all these in a straight forward and linear manner, I'm sure these will still be funny but also start making all sorts of logical sense. But for right now I'm finding it impossible to keep up with all the plot line hop-scotch/musical chairs. I'm recalling possible back links, but not enough to make sense of things. I'm certain sky diving squirrels on bicycles into lake Calhoun will come into play any moment now.

That, or she's been around so long her filter is used up so it all just spills out.

And am I the only one who gets hungry for chicken wings every time Connie's arms do that bony look?

[MerchManDan]

*goes to double-check* ....WHOA!! She totally did!!

[TazManiac]

Be careful, Blackwolf may take offence....

[zachariah]

I'll bet Connie has been drinking Zombie's, Tina may have made them for her specifically.

Drops the most popular recipe into the jar:

1 part white rum
1 part golden rum
1 part dark rum
1 part apricot brandy
1 part pineapple juice
½ part 151-proof rum
1 part lime juice

This is perfect for quick effect.

[zachariah]

Careful. Bakshi may join the conversation and Avatar just may be watching. Besides that his arms were the result of mutation not being an elemental.

[zachariah]

Joking aside. That is an interesting comment by Monica.

1. Bia was living in Lantis when the GG lost control and she was a young girl at that time. Does this mean she had not been in existance for very long when it happened, or just that she had spent a long time as a young girl and not growing up. (AKA Peter Pan type). It seems she was there long enough that Lantis was all she knew of life and the world. So was Bia born/created there as well?

2. It was all destroyed and that is the motivation for Bia trying fix everything? Including the prophecy from Sybyl.

3. Phix knew this and finally told Monica, but when did she tell her. It seems a lot of information was shared during the recent past that we never knew of. While it is a way to get the characters up to speed so they know what is going on it does leave us in the dark.

Bud had nightmares "of destroying the Lanthian civilization"

Jin, due to her illness, had hallucinations of "creepy little mummy girl", and other dead people.

Bia: "I'm sorry for any nightmares my rage may have caused you."



Did Bia, in here "rage" do something (a curse?) to cause the 'destroyer of the Lanthian civilization' to have nightmares of their actions, and unknowingly, horrible hallucinations to Jin?

I wonder how(if?) Brandi was also affected.

[jwhouk]

It's possible that Brandi wasn't affected. The Nu Gui may have just channeled all that rage from her own issues upon "possessing" Brandi.

[eee]

Connie's drunk. This probably won't end well.

Jin has apparently been out of the loop, so she probably doesn't know about Connie, Bia being Shelly's mother and Phix her grandmother, she obviously doesn't know about Bia being Tina's great grandmother, I would hope she knows about Brandi no longer being possessed AND that Monica is the Jaguar Girl. She's in for a lot of updates.

We still haven't seen Phix face to face with Bia. Even with Bia in child form, I suspect Phix might let her claws do the talking unless Nudge can keep her calm.

And I can't tell if Bia's got two black eyes or if those are the markings she shows as an adult.

[Fairportfan]

Unless something's changed since the last time we saw Jin to any extent, getting laid is not a problem for her.

"But why are you telling us all this?"

"Exposition, dear. We have to put it in somewhere!"

[jeffepp]

I just had a thought. Due to the time loop thing, could there be more than one Bia out there? Each loop creating a new "copy", who may or may not be able to step out into the library-verse, depending on stuff that happened in that loop.

Jin was the only one of the Golem Girls who was aware of the time loops and was working from within the system to fix the problem. Bia, Phix, Nudge and a host of others were outside of the system, trying to fix it. And they were all working toward one common goal while manipulating each other that resulted in one big Zanatos Pileup. Now that the initial problem has been dealt with (getting the Golem Girls under control) and the resulting half assed attempts to fix the problem (the Calander Machine) have been dealt with, and having made sure something like this never happens again (the World Grid and destruction of the Anasasi) , everone is dealing with the fallout.

Jin had pretty much dropped out of everything after the Calendar Machine. Shelly replacing her in the MiB just made it official. With her wish to be human granted and her schizophrenia cured, she's done. She suffered through losing the people she loved over and over again and having her plans to fix everything turn to ash over and over again. She was mentally I'll human girl stuck with an immortal body and a perception of the world others lacked that allowed her to see what was really going on.

Early in the story, when we didn't know nearly as much, Jin seemed to be the master manipulator making everyone else dance to her tune. Now we know she was walking a fine balance and pushing back against others, like Bia, Phix, Nudge, Brandi (both of them) and to a lesser extent, Bud.

She's done. She's had enough and she just wants to live out the rest of her life with Allen. So she hasn't kept up with what's going on.

Regarding the Bia's eyes, I'd say it's a bit of both.
