First! Wait, I have to read the comic first, don't I?

ETA: and M is not very happy about the test parameters.

Odds of three to five?!? I can't tell which way they're tilting the odds here, but either way, I hope to $DEITY that they're just yanking her chain again.

You really ought to have odds no worse than 4:1 in your favor before punching a friend's heart right out of her chest.

The way these two know how to play the odds they should poit to Vegas.

Also, Shelly seems to be defying physics in panel 1. So she isn't a sphinx after all, she's Pinkie Pie.

Um, Pablo... "calendar" fix, in panel 1.

Bud, I mean, Acacia, is just off-screen holding her like a guitar...

Love the way those two look in the last panel...

I think Monica is still seated/kneeling on the floor in frame 1. And still without coffee! How long will they dare to leave the core exposed without coolant?

If you can poit objects other than yourself, then you aren't going to Vegas to gamble.

Monica's mellow has been heinously harshed. LOL

So, it's the key in her head that's doing this to M!
I can accept that. You can't meddle with supernatural powers without being affected.
(I was really afraid that pablo will pull out another rabbit from the hat and discover that M's great-grandparents were also gods or something... that would have been too much)

Anyways - apparently a sided effect of being a millenia-old sage has the inevitable side effect of being a jerk sometimes.

I see Friday ending in a miffed teleport, and Monday starting with a dishevled one...

If we want to get super-technical, Acacia punched Mon in the back - the punch then erupted from her chest like an alien. But that's just splitting hairs (along with a sternum and several ribs).

Interesting Monica seems to have minor amnesia as she does not remember what Bud did. So the re-birth is accompanied by a memory blackout. Wonder how much time it covers. This could be a problem under certain conditions.
Even thourhg they did it to prove to Monica how dangerous she is it does indicate a certain casual attitude towards her. Combined with the memory black out now if you want to keep Monica from remembering what you were talking about just kill her and make a story up. I hope that doesn't become a trend.

My question exactly. Did she do something when she and Jin went Island hopping?

Anyone else thinking it's time those two to stop kidding around and start taking this just a bit more seriously? They made their point; M might listen now, if they'd let her calm down a bit.

She got blown up by a volcano, blown up by a mine, and had two high velocity emergency-poit reentries.

Both she and Jin had a good number of burns and scrapes from that, I'd be really surprised if she didn't pick up a few scars from it.

Good GOD these two are pressing their luck! Monica is EXTREMELY angry and upset, and they're just pouring it on to make her MORE angry and upset. If we get past Friday without her ordering Bud to stop moving then poiting them both to God knows where, leaving Shelly to have to get herself and Bud back on her own, I'll be surprised.

I would say it is not a matter of amnesia, it is that she was killed instantly from behind. She had her heart punched out before she knew what was happening. Her brain ceased functioning before it could form a memory of the event.

Death does not occur that quickly for the brain. She would have memories from the event. It takes head tramua before memories get lost. While the heart died istantly the brain lingers on. The only option would be for the re-birth to kick in before the memory chains impress. That makes it a memory loss due to the re-birth. So it's a matter of how much time she lost. seconds, minutes, or more. If she thinks Shelly stuck a knife in her again then she lost more of the conversation then it seems she did is my guess.
