Also..... Is the bear girl related to Bernadette and her sister,
or are they more common than we've been lead to believe?

Have we been led to believe that ursamorphs are uncommon? I honestly don't remember if the girls told Atsali that they were rarities when they met, or if anyone else in the comic has said this. I'd just assumed that ursamorphs were just another race of paranormal like sirens, merpeople, fae, and sphinx.

[Jabberwonky]

Ms Coney, so unflappable. Makes me wonder if she is related to this "Bunny"

I think she may be from Texas...

[Warrl]

So losing human form, not a problem. Roaring like a lion with volume to match, big problem.

She didn't "lose" human form, she chose to set it aside. Totally under her control, however inappropriate that control may have been. Not the same as Atsali's wing-boners.

[jwhouk]

On the other hand, the para-teacher definitely gets points for unflappability.

That woman talked to Monica openly and admirably, even after she did her Jaguar Girl poit into class.

I think the only thing flappable about her is her ears.

[jwhouk]

That's new.....

What was Castela's middle name again?

Enora. Mama Kath used her full name after the whole "We do NOT stomp FAE in the LUNCHROOM!" incident.

[jwhouk]

Also, i think Timmy sort of looks more like a lion.

The little girl Castela is playing with is her buddy from the Halloween party.

Daylla is her name. Can't quite figure out what "species" she is, though.

Oh. But anywhere else is fine, then?

Didn't they move into town from somewhere else where they are probably more common?

Probably not anywhere with carpet. The stain is likely a pain to clean.

step-by-step guide will show you how to remove blood from carpet. Check out the instructions below.

1.If the blood stain you’re trying to remove is dry, go ahead and brush it with a steel brush to loosen the stain. This action will remove the surface deposit.
2.Mix one teaspoon of hand dishwashing detergent with two cups of cold water.
3.Take a clean, white cloth and dip it in the detergent solution you just mixed.
4.Blot directly on the blood stain, repeatedly.
4.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the stain has disappeared.

Timothy is a Felidamorph.

[Jabberwonky]

Timothy is a Felidamorph.

So he has the specified form or character of being happy?

[jwhouk]

Timothy is a Felidaemorph.

So he has the specified form or character of being happy?

Okay, I accidentally dropped an extra "e"

[AnotherFairportfan]

Timothy is a Felidamorph.

Lion.

[Jabberwonky]

Timothy is a Felidamorph.

Lion.

No, I think he's telling the truth...

[TazManiac]

That reminds me of this old style PC game I've been looking to rediscover; it had a green crash-landed alien scrolling left-to-right and jumping on/over things.

Its so funny I would be so nostalgic about it...

[AnotherFairportfan]

How would you know, really? For all that you would be able to tell, everyone and everything around you could be ursamorphs being all cogneeto.

[Warrl]

We've been immersed in one segment of the supernatural community, with a fair number of individuals who are unique (the Jaguar Girl), presumed unique (a Whatsit), or near-unique (golems), while being shown signs that
(1) the supernatural community is rather larger than we've actually seen - there are whole communities and cultures of each of several species that we've seen only a few of;
(2) the supernatural community is mostly in hiding from the human community, so presumably significantly smaller than the latter.

What that really means is that, in general, we have no idea how numerous any particular supernatural species is.

North America contains approximately 50,000 brown bears and possibly as many as a million brown bears. What percentage of them are ursamorphs is unknown. As is the percentage of apparently-humans that are ursamorphs.

[Catawampus]

(2) the supernatural community is mostly in hiding from the human community, so presumably significantly smaller than the latter.

That's likely, yes. But it could instead be that the paranormal population is larger, yet is also so fragmented that they don't feel capable of forming enough of a common front to safely stand up to potential human aggression. We've already seen that there's a fair bit of prejudice and speciesism going on in their community. It's been a common theme in history that a smaller group has been able to suppress a larger, more powerful group because the individual members of the larger group wouldn't work together against the common threat.

For that matter, we're assuming that it is the humans who the paranormals are ultimately hiding from. There could be some other horrifying group that the paranormals don't want to find them, and the hiding from the humans is merely incidental to the actual goal. . .

I doubt that any of that is really the case in this setting, though.

One is not allowed to talk about that. /noselick/

Two declines to publicly speculate.
