And now, a test!

Cricket does have demons, but they appear to be on life support.

Hmmm, those two look familiar. Now where I have seen them, or someone close to them, before? Oh, I remember now:



-- or perhaps it was Doctor Who, The Empty Child?

There "what" are?

Wizards is a great film. Ah, there it is in my DVD collection...

"Welcome to Cricket's Quantum Space Emporium, Second Floor. Bird cages, war-surplus, and... hmmm. They're supposed to be downstairs in the Lawn and Garden section!"

If either or both of them looks over and asks plaintively "Are you my mum?", I'm outa here!

Assuming that they don't, it will be interesting to see what symbolic role they play in the workings of Calista's Id! I presume the cage symbolizes being "locked up" in the high-rise penthouse... these two are maybe the Authorities who threaten to cage her?

THIS! is. some Freaky S**t! If the plan is to get Cricket to soil herself I would say you are succeding, Monica....er Miss Villareal.

Real living includes watching 'Wizards' in all its Laser Disk, Analog, glory...

This goes deep into the uncanny valley, even for the paranormal Wapsiverse.

I learned something today. I was not familiar with the term "uncanny valley" so I did a quick search and found a nice video.

Wow... Cricket has some skeeeery demons..

I suspect they are the ghosts of fae past... trapping young blackthorns and trying to gas the shit out of her, hence the protie masks... And Cricket gets to face them...

Um...

Uuuuummmmm...

...Bye!

(pzing!)

What if.... What if Cricket is being forced to face the demond of the FAE, not just her own... but the whole race?

Now, if you would assume your normal size and step into this small suspended stage, we can begin tonight's performance of La Cage aux Fae.

I've been watching entirely too many documentaries on the western front in honor of the 100th year anniversary of WW1.

Ummm ... eww?

Panel Two?

eewww

I mean the whatsits are creepy.

But that hand is a tad more subtle...

Hmmm.. Interesting. It's dripping with symbolism in Cricket's mind.

On the left we have a kind of dessecated corpse, or very dirty thing with a missing inner, closed away from the world by the gasmask. On the right we have some sort of artificial construct, álso closed off by a gas mask.

None too worried about those. It's that cage in the middle, thát's where the real trouble lies, me thinks. Point is, it's empty.

Did something get out? Or is it about to lock someone/something in?

To quote Professor Arturo from sliders, "run, run like hell!"

This is one of those Wapsi moments where I wonder "Did I accidentally skip a day?"
