To be honest, Phix may just have stepped in it. I think Monica would allow Phix to yell at her, but punching her granddaughter (and Monica's friend) is something that I believe might be a little much for Monica to stand for.

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

I find it hard to believe that Phix actually cares that much about MIB and what they do. Her position in the library is secure and she does make trips to earth but not a lot. So why get so upset about stirring up awareness on earth by Monica and Shelly? I lean toward the idea that the girls antics stirred up others in the paranormal hierarchy. People who could take drastic action against them and appointed, or gave Phix the chance, the straighten them out before taking steps. If that is the case then there have to be observers to see how the girls react. It is also likely they ones watching probably do not know of Phix's relation to Shelly. If that is the case it is no wonder that Phix shut her up so fast. This may be more about trying the cover for the girls rather than coming down on them. I expect we'll find out more shortly.
I was actually more of the opinion that she's angry because she feels responsible for these two...and their bad behavior could reflect poorly on her...I think someone else (who I don't have time to go back and find to quote) also posted that Phix isn't as removed from society as she was before. She's feeling maternal...or at least like a responsible teacher. When you look at it that way, I can totally get the whole yelling, angry thing. :)

It's a fine line.

Right now, Monica is apropriately scared and receptive to what Phix has to say. If Phix crosses the line and, say, rips her face off, or something, Monica goes from receptive scared to angry snarly Jaguar Girl. (THAT BRA COST $300!)

She couldn't hurt Phix in her Place of Power, but she's not going to be in the mood to listen to anything Phix has to say.

Maybe she has a high-volume discount these days.

No ..... Monica's volume seems to be about the same as always?

Please pardon me if this has been asked/answered already, but what species is "Pickle"? I apologize for asking out of context of the thread.

Thank you,

Paul stated she was a plant-animal hybrid of some sort, besides being in the supernatural/paranormal sphere.
