Or their absurdity.

I really doubt this is one of Brandi's plans. ALmost all of her plans ended when the calander was fixed. Everything after that is unknown so how could she plan for it. Since then she has not had enough time to set anything like this up. She uses very subtle manipulation, not a sledgehammer.

Monica's gone back to normal, although it looks like her brain is temporarily out of commission. I hope before the shutdown / change she managed to get some answers from Phix as to what's happened to her and what it all means.

I'm glad Tsillah isn't having to carry Pratt and McBride out, too. They've come through this traumatic event rather well for a couple of simple vampire cops ( ) thrown into the blender of extremely high level supernatural shenanigans.

Boxilar wrote:From Monica's expression, I'd say she's still bouncing back and forth between the larger ramifications of being a Sub-Titan and how it's going to affect her on a more personal level. The first words out of her mouth in full Jaguar Girl fury after dying and being ressurected for a second time were "that bra cost $300!" Her primary concern after learning she had grown fangs was that she was talking funny. I think the shock we're seeing now is mostly of the "Did I really just Pimp slap Phix? What the hell was I thinking?!" veriety. That, more than anything, is driving home how much more powerful she is now, and I think her brain is locked up dealing with the implications. Otherwise she would have poited in clothes for herself from home by now.

@eee: I believe Monica has stated that she weighs 102 pounds soaking wet. While 100 pounds or so isn't really that light, comparatively, she IS a lightweight compared to say, Phix or Nudge. I imagine she'd have to drag Nudge by her horns, or Phix by her tail and have to struggle to do that.

Atomic wrote:At the risk of borking the next six months of plot line:

Monica - This is all very nice, Phix, but I demand to know what is going on!

Phix - Of course dear, but it will make more sense coming from Brandi.

Brandi - Remember when you said you wanted to help Jin?

M - Yes...

B - And I told you about how people became pawns to me?

M - Go on...

B - For all the cycles Jin had to sort out the Calendar Machine, I've had enough time, piecemeal, to sort out what would become of you afterwards. When Mayhuel taught you Glyph, in the form of your late grandmother, she was working to prepare you for dealing with the three of us, and so set up a chance to repair the Calendar Machine, and possibly free herself in the process. And, as you know, it worked!

M - Yay team. Keep talking.

B - But the blade in your skull also imbued you with access to the source of it's power -- the forces which allowed the Calendar Machine to be overcome. Like it or not, those forces are a part of you. But then, what about Jin? What to do?

M - Ok - what?

B - The knowledge of Glyph gained you access to survive and manipulate the forces associated with the blade. I anticipated Jin's condition as consequence of resolving the Calendar problem, and also sought a way to deal with it. You are it! But to help Jin, you need to be able to walk among the dead. And so, I maneuvered you into the emotional state and trauma needed to bring forth and focus those powers you have inherited. You have become the Jaguar Girl, sub-Titan, and functionally immortal. Moreover, the Library recognizes you, and you have scholarly access to the whole of the universe. Your potential is unlimited.

M - Sheesh. But how can I help Jin? Research? What? Where?

B - For starters, practice. Jin's recovery lies among the dead, and you can discover it. But you need to learn how to walk there - Tsillah will be your guide! And, you need someone dead to practice with. Agents Pratt and McBride here, just happen to have someone who could benefit from your services.

P & McB - Ermm ... hello!

And then.......

Excuse the language, but I think Jin's primary concern anymore is fucking Alan's brains out, period.

Brandi made the deal, yes. But someone set THAT into motion.
