Is Skylar another Siren? Perhaps even a relative?

(I'd say that they will become Faust friends, but...)

Oh, come on now. That'd be too convenient for this strip...

Okay, that answers the question someone asked yesterday about flight team.

What's a Skylar?

Sweetie, unless they do random bed checks, you can live at home. Just get the Library to set up a portal in your dorm room closet...

Who, not what. Unless the tags on the strip are completely misleading, Skylar is the young lady in the third game, wearing the dark jacket.

Not convenient...ominous. If I'm right (probably not) it could suggest that some Powers-that-be have had a hidden agenda which is only now becoming visible.

I don't think we know whether Skylar is from Gryphon (and thus probably known to Atsali), or from somewhere else entirely... this is the first strip she's been in.

Hummm, that there is college level flight team to me indicates there could be pro level flight teams and my mind boggles at the thought of para style Olympics.

one would guess that she is Stali's future room mate.

Ah yes, the conundrum, why apply for college if you can't afford it?

We have seen Skylar before, but only if you pay attention to Pablo's FB/Tweets, and/or you hover over everything he throws out on eBay...

Of COURSE they want you in the dorms, Atsali! You'll be a freshman predator on the loose without direct parental control for the first time; the authorities will want all the watch over you and others like you they can get.

I'm fairly sure that that phrasing occurs in some of the various bits and bobs of literature and trash-lit you and i demonstrably share.

Let's just say you told me something i already figured out before i posted the query.

However, what i MEANT was who/what is she, have we seen her before, does she attend Gryphon High, do she and Atsali know each other, etc.

From the previous art linked above, it seems to imply Skylar is a full-blood succubus. It should be interesting how she interacts with Atsali is she finds out she had an incubus father.

Ataali is half, so it'd stand to reason that she'd have some immunity.

Could be interesting if they started using their powers on each other . . .

Though if Atsali is a half and Skylar is a full one, then there's no Pauli exclusion principle to keep them separate.
