Get Up 2018-03-05

[oldmanmickey]

I got $20 on Pickle in the second round

[Thor]

DAY-LLA!
DAY-AY-AY-LLA!
Daylla gone, and we want to go roam.

[jeffepp]

Come Mr boogyman, tricky me Scoobies
Midnight come, and me wanna go home

[Dave]

Daylla saw a ghost tonight
she shouted mighty fine.
Her friends came on the run,
but her they didn't find.

She put the spine in the friends tonight,
they came all together.
She got 'em flyin' at the chaperones,
and soon we'll know whether
she'll get 'em fryin' up a spider girl,
they should have known better!
So go try findin' Daylla first
and call me in the moOoOoOrning
yes
call me in the morning
call me in the morning and I'll tell you what to do.

(To the tune you would expect)

(Interesting datum: even under such extreme stress, Hiroshi doesn't seem to have adopted a non-human morph. Perhaps, as a half-human half-Fae, he has no other form to assume (or, the one we usually see, is his most natural form).

At the moment he's the only one of the crowd who wouldn't startle the hell out of most any mundane who happened to walk in.)

[AnotherFairportfan]

Okay.

We know what Shawna is.

What the * BLEEP * is Valerie?

...and Scarlet's full aspect is ... intimidating.

[Opus the Poet]

OK definitely would not want to see that in a dark hallway. And Pickle is powering up.

[jwhouk]

This looks like something out of Infinity War... Though I think the Avengers would be sorely outclassed by these kids.

Yes, even Hulk.

[Sgt. Howard]

"DON'T MOVE OR WE'LL BE SHOOTING EACH OTHER!!!"...

Well the situation is frantic,
and just a tad over dramatic,
a shadow said "boo"
and what do they do?
- a tail-spinning blind screaming panic!!!

in the dark eerie night's gloomy middle,
poor Dalia just had to go piddle
she dared look behind her
and so now we find her
in full-bore feet-beatin' skadiddle!!!

Help yelp caught Castela's attention
and brought the troop in her direction
they face off in the hallway
(and panic no small way)
with total destructive intention.

So now we must wait 'til tomorrow,
to see if there's victory or sorrow,
and who destroys who
(I'm guessing a few)
... and who needs clean skivvies to borrow?

.... in other words... FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!

[Alkarii]

Here's hoping someone doesn't get fried on the next page...

[lake_wrangler]

(To the tune you would expect)

Âh yes... That song...

[Catawampus]

Gryphon School: where the top-notch security is to protect interlopers from the students.

I wonder how good Shawna's depth perception is?

From what we can see, at least. For all that we know, though, he could have his arms transformed into razor-whips, a giant glowing eye on his chest, and have porcupine quills all over.

Though Cricket, a presumably full-blooded Fae, didn't really go in for much in the way of transformations other than size and antennae. Perhaps Fae just normally look like humans.

Also of note is that Shawna is still right next to him.

What the * BLEEP * is Valerie?

Not a light sleeper, apparently.

We already know that Fae like the taste of fried spider. . .

Hey, give her a break. It's natural enough that a chthuloid eldrich horror would need to sleep soundly. Digesting a tummy-full of souls demands proper rest... it's the Otherworld version of a tryptophan coma after Thanksgiving dinner. (At Gryphon, being sent to after-school detention can mean an eternity of torment, if Valerie happens to be the proctor that day).

More seriously... Valerie doesn't match the description of any mythological entity I've ever read about. Closest animal kingdom analogy I can think of is a hydra (the pond-living kind, not the mythological) I wonder if she's even an individual... might be some sort of weird colonial organism, like a Portugese man-o-war?

[Opus the Poet]

Did anyone check the tags? Daylla isn't in the hallway. Where is she?

[Atomic]

DAY-LLA!
DAY-AY-AY-LLA!
Daylla gone, and we want to go roam.

Find Missie Dayla mon, Dayla paranormal,
Dayla gone and we want to roam!

[AnotherFairportfan]

...are those little Dietzels on Digit's nightie?

[jwhouk]

Uh oh, people.

According to FB, Pablo dislocated his shoulder (thankfully, his non-drawing arm). We might be in for a (looks around) brief hiatus again...

[Alkarii]

...are those little Dietzels on Digit's nightie?

Those look like teddy bears to me. Either way, we now know that Digit goes for what's considered cute (though not by me; I'm kind of indifferent to such designs).

[TazManiac]

...are those little Dietzels on Digit's nightie?

Consensus might be they are indeed canine in nature...

[Thor]

BTW, it looks like we are in danger of a hormone storm after the fear storm has passed. Pickle is hulking out and shredding her shirt. Shawna has misplaced her cover-up for her top. And unless Scarlet's clothes size up with the rest of her, they may be in tatters too.

It really is a good thing that they decided to have their first ghost hunt in the school, rather than somewhere else. Imagine if they'd been startled or spooked someplace out in the public areas of Minneapolis.

Witness: "I'm telling you, there were a bunch of crazy-lookin' critters running around, screaming and shouting!"

MiB Agent: "No, no, that was just. . .a rock concert. You know kids these days, with their. . .indie death punk metal music and the costumes that they wear to shows."

Witness: "But one of them had, like, a dozen eyes!"

MiB Agent: "Errrrr, I'm sure you also know how they always do drugs at those concerts. You must have inhaled some LSD fumes while passing by."

Witness: "That other girl blasted a hole through that building! You can see it right there! The edges are still molten and glowing!"

MiB Agent: "Badly set stage pyrotechnics. Some pyro tech's going to get his license revoked, if he even has one."
