Tsilly is certainly a cheerful little imp. Sort of resembles a chipmunk in the 3rd panel. Wait till Lily finds out the little girl she thinks she is talking to isn't actually Tsillah either.
When she says welcome to the MIB she's hopefully referring to the organization and not it's main location. Surely they have better facilities than some dank, so-dark-even-a-vampire-can't-see, cave. Assuming they are in a cave and Tsillah isn't also creating the background and everything.

I don't think she transported them anywhere. They're right there on the street, obscured from view by Tsillah's power. They couldn't see because they were enveloped in pure elemental shadow.Bathorys Daughter wrote:Tsilly is certainly a cheerful little imp. Sort of resembles a chipmunk in the 3rd panel.

Well it's somewhat cool that one of my guesses was correct (only somewhat because the second I start making accurate predictions about this comic, I expect to have my mental ass handed to me by Paul's wicked twists). Well done Tsillah confusing the heck out of us while scaring the bejeezus out of the vamps!

If they make a Patch-Together of Tsillah, it HAS to the the 3rd panel pose. But without the headlamp...Bathorys Daughter wrote:Tsilly is certainly a cheerful little imp.

59 Mountain Laurel Drive, Cranston. I fail to see the significance , as to the "WHY". Something in popular culture I missed apparently.. Google maps' sattelite image is darned good there, though..

I think I'll give this one out as a shared credit - you guys can split one pun payment from the Jar. I think I recall somebody putting in a really big box of chocolates, some time agoFairportfan wrote:Mayhaps "Lamont Cranston"?
Yes, that's it. The location I gave, given a slight linguistic twist into bad French, would be something like 59 Rue Laurier de la montagne, Cranston, RI.
It was as close as I could Google-fu to an actual "Cranston Mount" i.e. "la monte Cranston" a.k.a The Shadow. Unfortunately Cranston RI is on the coast and has no mountains to speak of, and I couldn't find an actual mountain named after anyone named Cranston.
Out in the sticks somewhere, no doubt.Jabberwonky wrote:Considering who Daddy is, she'd have access to some really deep caverns...Bathorys Daughter wrote:Assuming they are in a cave and Tsillah isn't also creating the background and everything.

Ah, kudos to the Tsillah-callers. She's a master puppeteer, with two going at the same time!

OK - I give up! Why would my neck of the woods(Cranston,RI - but I live by Narragansett where some storm damage was done!) have anything to do with MIB??
Oooh, with that "headlight" Tsillah can cast her own shadows. THAT sure would've come in handy two weeks ago,too !

Re: See In The Dark 2012-11-13
o my...men in black...men in black shadow? Has MIB been Tsillah's organization all along?
yup, upon re-reading, their old boss is talking directly to Tsillah, and telling her how to get the vampires' attention.
I think Tsillah is in charge, and has apparently been looking for a couple vampires.

See the postings a bit earlier, and have mercy on my somewhat twisted sense of humorKaibyo wrote:OK - I give up! Why would my neck of the woods(Cranston,RI - but I live by Narragansett where some storm damage was done!) have anything to do with MIB??
Tsillah is a creature of shadows - she's the daughter of Charon, and the granddaughter of Nyx ("night") and Erebus ("darkness" or "shadow"). It's clear that she is now working with the MIB, and possibly has been for some time (which suggests an interesting connection between our government, and Charon and the other gods and demigods and titans).
Therefore, it seemed to be appropriate to suggest that the MIB's facilities would be located in some place associated with shadow.
The early-20th-century pulp-fiction-and-radio character "The Shadow" went by the name of Lamont Cranston. "Lamont" is derived from an old Norse name meaning "lawman" but it's also similar in sound to French phrasing meaning "the mountain".
So, I Googled around for a location involving Cranston, and mountains... and Google found one decent correspondence between the two terms, that being "Mountain Laurel Drive" in "Cranston, RI".
So, that's where I suggested the MIB headquarters might be.
And, now that I look at a Google aerial photo of the address that the locator pin dropped by chance (59 Mountain Laurel Drive), I see a large white-rimmed circular structure of some sort in the back yard. Must be the entrance to the tunnel complex which means that Google must be in cahoots with the MIB!
Only the shadow knows... and she isn't telling (yet).
Part of me suggests that you drive up from Narragansett to Cranston to check it out. The better part of me says don't do it, we'd never hear from you again.

Nah, if Google was entwined with MIB, they wouldnt show it at all, seems to me.Dave wrote: And, now that I look at a Google aerial photo of the address that the locator pin dropped by chance (59 Mountain Laurel Drive), I see a large white-rimmed circular structure of some sort in the back yard.

EDIT 1:
It looks like Tsillah's light does not cast her shadow. Could this be because she IS the shadow around them" Also, Lily, being a supe herself, should know that just because someone (or something) looks like a little girl, that deos not mean it is! Silly vampire!
