At least she's kept her clothes on.

Phix: <cue Ricardo Montalban accent> "Looook what you've duuun to my library!!!!" </accent>

LOL! Yeah I'm thinking that Phix is going to be none too happy, even if it is self repairing. Not to mention that two young paranormals are now possibly cut off in a seemingly dangerous place. At the very least Atsali should have arranged a Geiger counter before she left... though why she'd want to measure freaky alien artists is beyond me....

Lily and Suzi will almost certainly feel the same way. It would be interesting to see the evolution of the new "home support" team... the two MIB vampires, and the ancient sphinx who they're not quite entirely sure has gotten over her old prejudices against vampires. Hard to get into the team spirit, if you think that mildly annoying one of your coworkers will result in her either shooting you in the kneecap or ripping your face off...

No, no... Geiger is how the measurement is done... not what or who is being measured. The instrument detects the natural radioactivity from the Potassium-40 isotope found in every person's body. All large organizations have to keep one of those counters around, so that they can keep track of all of their personnel, keep records of people not present due to vacations or sick days, etc.

That's why it's called an HR Geiger.

I know what a Geiger Counter does and what its used for... I was referring to the artist, H.R. Giger... http://www.hrgiger.com/

Oh, I know (both sides)... that's why I was funnin' with you by deliberately recasting "H. R. Giger" into "H[uman]R[esources] Geiger".

Prospects are not so good.
According to Monty Python sheep don't so much fly as plummet.

They're not flying, they're falling... with style!

Here's what I think is an amusing thought: today's comic title is "Up Here", which is often used, by females, in the following sentence: "My eyes are up here"... However, in Thymbris' case, that would simply not apply...

Eyes? What eyes?

Actually, Elysion was the number 1 vacation spot in Hades.

... don't mind me, I'm just trying to stamp out the modern misconception that all of Hades was hell. That's just Tartarus.

Actually Hell was Hel's final place for those who did not fall in battle nor lead exemplary lives to enter Valhalla. Different pantheon and everything.

Be aware of the falling distance, though - too high & one might end up with underground mutton.

I think I saw the Pun Jar over in the meat market, selecting a suitable tribute.
