Re: Far Out 2014-09-12
Who's first, today? My thread also reads as 1:29 am Eastern time...
Edit:
Never mind, logic indicates that yours was first: it was not there when I started mine, but was there by the time I finished my post. So we were in the same minute, but yours was a number of seconds before mine...
I deleted mine, and am now reposting my comment here:
Looks like I was wrong: Punky is a name Monica uses for Calista...

I would say "No doubt about it, Cricket!" but that would be wrong...

Doesn't anyone recognize Monica's Doubt?
I LOLed so hard at that last panel I woke Mrs. the Poet... and the cat.

Well, DUH, that's Monica's Doubt.
I'm just surprised she's allowed to accompany M to the Library.

Actually, it could be one of Calista's, telling her "far out, huh, you didn't know I was a real creature, did you!"jwhouk wrote:Well, DUH, that's Monica's Doubt.
But it could also be Monica's doubt. I won't hold categorically to one position or the other.
Well, they are inseparable... Well, they normally would be, on anyone else.... but Monica's a doorway, though now closed. So she could have separated herself from Monica, but probably can't anymore.jwhouk wrote:I'm just surprised she's allowed to accompany M to the Library.
And my previous statements now bring up an interesting point: if normally, demons only leave their host when the host dies, and they get to inhabit a new host afterwards... That means that Monica's demons are now in for quite the long haul!
I can just see one of the demons complaining: "This was supposed to be a short-term assignment!"

Mine, too (i just PM'd you). I was gonna wait and see which of us got a reply first.
After i posted and checked back, yours wasn't showing yet.
I guess it was a photo finish.
Or maybe an oil painting.

Re: Far Out 2014-09-12
Remember how Doubt use to look? http://wapsisquare.com/comic/01182005/
Personal demons and their interaction can change over time. Monica's Doubt is more of a confidant now.
This is probably what she is trying to teach Calista. Notice also how Monica's early Doubt resembles the one Calista was cornered by at the end. That may be Calista's version of Doubt.

Exactly. Like I said in my edit, yours was there when I finished mine and checked again, which proves yours was first, even if in the same minute.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Mine, too (i just PM'd you). I was gonna wait and see which of us got a reply first.

Re: Far Out 2014-09-12
So Phix told Monica to give Calista even better neuroses and psychoses than her old ones?
Re: Far Out 2014-09-12
Not likely for being who calibrate a their stopwatches in eons. More likely the other demons are screaming “NO FAIR! Why do we have to keep start over just as ours is getting broken in?”lake_wrangler wrote:I can just see one of the demons complaining: "This was supposed to be a short-term assignment!"

...I think this is more toward "Demon Wrangling for Immortals 101"; Once Cricket accepts that the Voices In Her Head are =real=, and Yes They Are Trying To Fuck With Her Head, the journey toward being able to tell them to go get bent begins in earnest.hhallett wrote:So Phix told Monica to give Calista even better neuroses and psychoses than her old ones?

You missed a few: You don't doubt that it's Doubt, but you undoubtedly have doubts as to whose Doubt that Doubt is.oldmanmickey wrote:I dont doubt that its doubt but i am not sure whos.
