Re: Not A Problem 2015-01-16
I wonder if just maybe Sali is beginning to realize running head long into this adventure was not the brightest thing she ever did. Especially with the haunted house comment from Tsillah. Lot's of horror movies trophs have to be running through her head. Also the casual remakr that students were not expected. That shot a big hole in her paranoid idea MIB was trying to keep her away.
Tsillah was surprised and it seems Sali's speed of reaction is what let the punch land. I suspect Tsillah did not expect that reaction either.

Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Or one like it. She's been wearing it since going out to head to the coffee shop Jacob works at.ArendJK wrote:Wait. Am I missing smoothing?

Edit: we know she has tried Monica's shirt on before, so maybe she decided she liked the style and either asked for it, or bought one like it (perhaps with the MIB-sponsored shopping spree.)

Re: Not A Problem 2015-01-16
Yeah. If this situation isn't triggering her creepy-movie detector, it's only because she hasn't stopped for long enough to hear the eerie music. But, since Tsillah has just spoken the equivalent of "What could possibly go wrong?", Atsali is now in a fine position to say "Let's hide behind the chainsaws!"zachariah wrote: Especially with the haunted house comment from Tsillah. Lot's of horror movies trophs have to be running through her head.
And, adding to her knowledge of modern culture, she could well be searching her cyberneticized memories of an entire dead civilization, and doing a bit of mental research...

Atsali might soon realize that this is how it feels to be on the other side of the headlong equation, considering the Shady Lady's enthusiasm.

Explore a Haunted House you say? Lets see, we've got Daphne and Velma, "Zoiks" like, all we need is Shaggy, Freddy and Scooby-Doo and we're all set.

First things first: Atsali has her own 8-ball t-shirt, apparently. But yes, it is based on Aunt Monica's.
Second - Who out there suddenly had the theme from Scooby Doo, Where Are You? play in your head after Tsillah's statement in the last panel?
EDIT: I see The Doctor had the same response.
Third - Yeah, it does look like Granma Lily and Aunt Suzi are going to be along momentarily at any moment.

Hey Tsillah: The "haunted house" comment? Not helpful. Also, having been offline for a couple of days & not gotten around to reading other threads, I'll just assume somebody's made a "Scooby Doo" analogy to this outing already.

With Tsillah you have about a 50/50 chance that she will either be mildly helpful or egregiously stupid.MerchManDan wrote:Hey Tsillah: The "haunted house" comment? Not helpful.
And a 90% chance that she will be really annoying.

All right!
What in the name of Hecate's G-string is that pointy eared goblin Tsillah playing at this time?

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Atsali's expression in the last panel. That so needs a though balloon with the work "Jinkies!"TheDOCTOR wrote:Explore a Haunted House you say? Lets see, we've got Daphne and Velma, "Zoiks" like, all we need is Shaggy, Freddy and Scooby-Doo and we're all set.
*edit*
with her use of "and, like" plus her (sometimes) lack of awareness, I'm nominating Tsillah for the Shaggy role.

Re: Not A Problem 2015-01-16
going back to the first panel, is anyone else getting the feeling that regardless of how fast Atsali moved/reacted, Tsillah was surprised she was able to hit her?
I still think there is something about Atsali that allowed her to hit Tsillah when Tsillah wasn't 'there' in a place/form to be hit.

Re: Not A Problem 2015-01-16
Well... the last time Tsillah showed Initiative, she seemed to have been trying to curry favor... with her father and with the Library and maybe the MIB organzation. She set up Kath and Atsali to try to solve two big problems at once (getting rid of the Nu Gui whose existence troubled Charon, and getting the Ethetian info into the Library's hands) then tried to recruit Kath into the MIB.Stigmartyr762 wrote:All right!

This time... she said that she's there because of the Library, but she didn't actually say the Library sent her... she might have gotten orders from MIB, or might be free-lancing a bit on her own initiative again.
My impression is that she really wants to be a Big Part of Big Things, hasn't yet grown into a role of sufficient influence yet, isn't really mature enough for the job yet, and is eagerly seeking ways to make it happen (maybe faster than it should).
And, as a shadowy whatever-she-is, she may not yet really appreciate how easy it is for humans (nd many paranormals) to get hurt, and how permanent such hurts can turn out to be. If so, this eould make her a poor quest-planner.

Granny and auntie are the bumbling cops always just two steps behind the gang. Berdine and Calista as the final two gang members. However lets dont forget Castela taking the place of trusty little scrappy doo.

If anyone is the Scrappy, it's Tsillah.
