What Do I Know 2018-07-31
Ummm... I thought we had time-skipped to their 15th year, and now Scarlet says she's 13???
*Is confused...*
Meanwhile, it would seem that stress makes it harder for Shawna to retain her human form...
Meanwhile, the second... Now I can't help but wonder whether Scarlet is trying to help Shawna, or scare her away from Hiroshi to leave him all to Castela...

That seems to be characteristic of the shapeshifting paranormals while young . . . even Krystal and Jesse had trouble sometimes.lake_wrangler wrote: . . . Meanwhile, it would seem that stress makes it harder for Shawna to retain her human form... . . .

Re: What Do I Know 2018-07-31
True. I forgot about that. All I remembered was when introductions were made between Atsali, Castela, and the Ursamorph twins, mention was made that in high school, they were expected to stay in human form at all times.FreeFlier wrote:That seems to be characteristic of the shapeshifting paranormals while young . . . even Krystal and Jesse had trouble sometimes.lake_wrangler wrote: . . .

The hell kind of wisdom juice has Scarlett been chugging?
He's mister GlytchMeister, he's mister code
He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch
Starts to glitch in my clutch!
I'm too much!

Re: What Do I Know 2018-07-31
Shelly and I think Monica also have problems with it on occasion. Shelly had to go through training with Phix to get the hang of maintaining a human form as well as picking and choosing what bits transformed and how much they did so.lake_wrangler wrote:True.

Re: What Do I Know 2018-07-31
It would seem strong emotion override their ability to maintain a fully human form. That would account for a lot of this i thought i saw moments among humans.

The text in the first page says that Cas just turned 14. IDK if it has been changed at some point...lake_wrangler wrote:Ummm... I thought we had time-skipped to their 15th year, and now Scarlet says she's 13???

It would appear Blackthorn wisdom is contagious. Or maybe she's an 'old soul'.GlytchMeister wrote:The hell kind of wisdom juice has Scarlett been chugging?
Re: What Do I Know 2018-07-31
Yes, Paul just changed it to correct the inconsistency. I passed along the link lake_wrangler had pointed out, and Paul clarified the situation (see the comment section on today's strip).jeffepp wrote:The text in the first page says that Cas just turned 14.

It's convenient that most drugstore now sell Retcon in an over-the-counter strength, without requiring a prescription. I think CVS shelves it right next to the bottles of White-Out.
We know she inherited her grandmother's "ghost whisperer" abilities (a sensitivity to cross-dimensional-probability-worldline voice leakage), as well as her grandmother's journal in that subject. She may well have been reading the journal. Maybe her grandmother wrote down some musings about love, relationships, and self-understanding, as well as speculations about spook-speaking?eee wrote:It would appear Blackthorn wisdom is contagious.

Or, perhaps... hmmm... perhaps Scarlet's people are naturally (or culturally) quite wise? They could quite easily have been the inspiration for the legends of the Japanese Kitsune, and in many tales the Kitsune are portrayed as being wise.

Paul didn't realize the error. He changed the older strip to 14 to reflect reality.jeffepp wrote: The text in the first page says that Cas just turned 14. IDK if it has been changed at some point...

Since she's so young, my money says she has at least one parent with multiple tails. That is to say an older Kitsune.eee wrote:It would appear Blackthorn wisdom is contagious. Or maybe she's an 'old soul'.GlytchMeister wrote:The hell kind of wisdom juice has Scarlett been chugging?

I'll chalk this one up to author error, not Retcon.jeffepp wrote:Retcon. Apply directly to the cannon.

Re: What Do I Know 2018-07-31
I'm surprised it took this long for Paul to notice the error... Usually, he keeps up pretty well with the forum, and there sure was a lot of talk, when we first thought we had gone through a two-year time skip...
Usually, typos mentioned in that day's comic thread are fixed before noon. He must have been tired, that day (both to make the mistake, and to not catch on to the "not-another-time-skip" conversations...)
