Given that individual abilities aren't zero-sum and that Shelly has several lifetimes of uniqueness, I don't think this diminishes her awesomeness or uniqueness. Also, my first thought was that she wanted to see how Krystle handled herself. Hell, I'm not sure who'd win in an arm wrestling contest between Shelly and Pickle.lake_wrangler wrote:It sort of saddens me, though, a little... as if it would somewhat diminish Shelly's own physical prowess... as in, maybe she's not so special, strength-wise, as she was made out to be...
(I'm not saying she's any less strong, just that she may not be quite as unique as we thought...)
But hey... Go Krystle, nice job landing that job!

Thor is correct. Digit describes herself as "spider weenie" - her spiderish strength did not scale up accordingly when she became humanoid, and she can barely lift a 40-pound water jug.FreeFlier wrote:I don't recall anything specific about Digit's strength or lack thereof . . . and spiders are quite strong for their size.

Exercise and practice counts, too... as well as all that Kung Fu training. Knowing when and how to use a crane stance is important!AmriloJim wrote:Shelly definitely knows of Krystle's heritage.

Shelly tossed it across the shop...
Well, she definitely had a Camaro of about that vintage back in 2002...eee wrote:Shelly's got a prized Camaro?
If I'm remembering correctly, that would be a '67 . . . '67 was the last year with wing-windows.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Well, she definitely had a Camaro of about that vintage back in 2002...eee wrote:Shelly's got a prized Camaro?
Probably right. I know more about Mustangs from that period than i do about Camaros.FreeFlier wrote:If I'm remembering correctly, that would be a '67 . . .

It seems that most paranormals have at least a fair bit more strength than they would as a human, with exceptions such as Digit. So mermaids are probably stronger on average than are humans, which would make sense since they also apparently used to hunt humans for food.eee wrote:In the Wapsiverse, mermaids have super-human strength? Or is it just Krystle?
I didn't get the impression that Atsali and the mer-gals hung out that much together, so I don't really see Shelly getting to know Krystle that way (though Krystle would certainly know who Shelly was). My guess would be through the gym that Shelly works at: both Shelly and Krystle seem to be the weight-lifter types, and Krystle seems to idolise Shelly to some degree. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Krystle learned about Shelly working at the gym and signed up for membership there herself.Also, I'm kind of wondering how the Krystle / Shelly conversation took place. They would of course know each other through Atsali, but this suggests a sort of 'just hanging out together' intimacy. Maybe Shelly continues to mentor paranormal teens. Maybe they were all relaxing on the island.
Well, every paranormal knows who the Sage of the Forest is... Krystle may have just decided to find out more about Shelly, and the more she found out, the more she felt a kinship with her (cars, muscles, muscle cars...), so she took it one step further and sought her out. (This in no way invalidates the theory of working out at the same gym... The way I see it, one theory would probably follow the other...)Catawampus wrote:I didn't get the impression that Atsali and the mer-gals hung out that much together, so I don't really see Shelly getting to know Krystle that way (though Krystle would certainly know who Shelly was).
