Thanks guys! This keeps the forum nice and neat.
Well this is somewhat disappointing, and the general reactions here only reinforce that for me.
Once again a problem will be swept away thanks to powerful relatives, and that if I'm perfectly honest is boring as hell. Mind we don't know how much sway Mrs. Gotlieb actually has, the lot of you may just be underestimating her and overestimating Atsali's Auntie Posse. But that probably won't be the case.

Personally, I'm hoping for Jin, because she is the most talented of the bunch of eviscerating someone without an ounce of compassion. Of course, if things get really snippy, she's going to get to deal with a pissed-off mama-bear Katherine.
I want THIS. To hell with the tuna jokes, the quips about her being eaten by Shelly or Phix (the hell is wrong with you guys?). Just make it a good old fashioned harsh talking to, Mother-to-Mother.
It has not been established who is with them but it is very possible that Kath is with pickle. I keep seeing that teaser trailer of the new Jurassic Park movie where dino jumps out of the water and takes the great white in one gulp. While i dont know that blood shed is coming cant rule it out since we have seen a few kills before and both Phix and Shelly have mentioned enjoying defeated foes. One might also remember in mythology the merfolk trace their ancestry back to Poseidon and Amphitrite so mom there probably does think she is in her domain. All in all very pleased with this arch so far.
Dear, don’t bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know. L. Long
The only damage we'll see is when Queen Tuna gets her ego torpedoed after she finds out where the seven-foot booby actually fits in among the Important People. Rich and Social would die from lack of oxygen where Atsali soars.

2. Jessie's mom is quite proud of being a bitch...
3. No for much longer when she gets a load of who she's messing with.
Jessie's mom isn't incurring the wrath of an underaged Para like she may think she is... She's incurring the wrath of the Time Keeper's Daughter and the Demon Shepherd and Bud... AND POSEIDON... Lord of all undersea creatures. She's about to get it broke off in her ass clear to the knee... Jessie's mom is in deep kimchi and she doesn't even know it yet.
Dear Jessie's mom. Old Jedi Proverb... "There's always a bigger fish..."

This.
And, we don't know who Jessie's dad is, or how he'll react when he hears...and just what spin Jessie's mom will put on it when she tells him. Or how well connected she is. It's enjoyable to see the attempt to humiliate/dominate Atsali shot down, but I will bet that this is going to have repercussions sometime in the future, when we least expect it. Don't mind me, just what if-ing! *gets popcorn*

Technically speaking, the water would in fact be her domain. In a straight up fight a mermaid would likely be able to drown a sphinx in the water.
But talking about that kind of crap is silly. The only times we've had Phix do it is that ONE time with someone who'd once been her superior. No one is going to be eaten, no one is going to be killed. Because the paranormal community at large seems kind of past all of that. That and doing something violent in front of... who knows how many para's are at the resort, children included, would plummet your respect faster than you can say "You sunk my battleship!". Not to mention that I doubt a single sphinx could handle getting ganged up on by enough other paranormal's.
And lastly... Let's say that Phix, or Shelly... or Monica turns Mrs. Gotlieb into tuna salad. How do you think Jessie would react? How do you think Devyn, or the rest of the IBTC would react? The rest of the school? Atsali would have to live with everyone being terrified of her for the rest of her young life. "Don't do anything to upset, annoy, or make her mad! Her Aunt's will horribly murder you if you do!"

I suspect Dad is not a part of Jess' household... Ms. Gotlieb was a trophy wife who's past her "best by" date.

Also I wonder how one makes a living being a bitch? The only example I can think of is if she were doing the voice work for a reboot of the old Lassie series.
"What's that, girl? Timmy's stuck in the well? . . . What do you mean you pushed him in? . . . 'Damage control'? That's horrible. You're a bad dog, Lassie."
Both issues- DIVORCE COURT. THAT is how you make a living by being a bitch and THAT is why Mr. Gottlieb ain't there
