So far there is no reason, or indication, for anyone else to be invited to the para pool war, doesn't that make a good title for a story. Sali and Pckle are going with Jin and they do not want witnesses, friends, for what is about to happen. If friends are there they are likely to interfere with what is going to happen to the complainer when Jin cuts loose on her. The complainer deserves what is about to happen to her and many of the cast would try and soften Jin's response. So only the second and third pools are valid.oldmanmickey wrote:I expect Tina is tasked with spreading the news about the pool party at the local para pool.

Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa were all sisters turned into Gorgons by Athena and who terrorized the ancient Greek world. At least so the story goes; Euryale has indicated a lot of that isn't accurate. Stheno was the eldest sister and the one you DIDN'T want to cross if you wanted to live. THAT seems to be accurate. Here, the Happy Hugger is introducing her to the Waspiverse and Tina.wratgaf wrote:I don't know about the rest of you but I'm lost.......
And the coffee they'll be drinking is Arbuckle's. I'm glad to see Stheno finally show up in the comic. She is going to be a deadpan snarker, I'm sure, because someone has to balance out the delight that is Euryale.zachariah wrote:Greek Coffee, or Turkish Coffee (Greeks will wildly denounce that the way they make coffee cam from there though), is incredibly strong, thick and chewy. The closest thing we have in the US to it is cowboy coffee, which is where the coffee is thrown into a big kettle and heated all night long. Then a horseshoe is thrown into the pot. If the shoe sinks the coffee is left to cook. If the shoe floats it is good to drink. If the shoe dissolves it is perfect for waking the cowboys up. At that point an egg shell is thrown into the pot and will cause grounds to settle to the bottom and the coffee is served.
My son does that. I once as a joke stuffed a Cadbury egg full of espresso beans for him...he gobbled it up and gave me the big eyes and said, "Please Mummy, can I have some more? I should do that again, as it was the calmest he's ever been...shadowinthelight wrote:If it is really that thick I should recommend it to a friend of mine. I remember she used to eat chocolate covered whole coffee beans in school.
Yeah, calm him down to a quasi-normal young man. I give my son espresso with a single shot of hazelnut. Goes from shot out like a rocket to sitting and reading.as363 wrote:Remind's me of my grandfather on my mother's side. A Scotsman from the Shetland Island's. He'd hand-grind 4 coffee cups of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee and dump it into one of those blue metal pots and put it on a coal-fired stove and let it brew for about 20 minutes. If it was a school day and I was staying with him ghe would offer me a cup. No milk- just sugar - you can imagine the effect on a hyper-active 8 year old smart-ass kid.

My brother and I both know that method. Our Ma taught us that, because Comanche Elders like a good kick in the morning, and anything less than coffee grounds getting the hell boiled out of them over a wood fire is not worth drinking straight. I like to call it "Comanche Kool-Aid"zachariah wrote:Greek Coffee, or Turkish Coffee (Greeks will wildly denounce that the way they make coffee cam from there though), is incredibly strong, thick and chewy.

Tina's demons seem to consist mainly of tentacles and skulls. Not much in the way of hair on them. They may just be confused as to what to do with the stuff, rather like how a human wouldn't be sure how to properly maintain feathers on a set of wings such as Atsali's.eee wrote:Is it possible the demons can''t agree on what Tina should look like and are taking turns deciding on her appearance?

Huh. I wonder if Atsali molts?Catawampus wrote:I notice that she uses present tense when referring to Medusa. Hmmm.

That might be one of those things that a proper gentleman doesn't ask a young siren.GlytchMeister wrote:Huh. I wonder if Atsali molts?
I just had vision of Tina's response to meeting the complainer: HMmmm, glass of vinegar straight up with a dash of bitters and a lemon wedge. . .you don't see one of those every day. . .zachariah wrote:So far there is no reason, or indication, for anyone else to be invited to the para pool war, doesn't that make a good title for a story.

1. Complainer - A self righteous women, from slightly, to as lot, overweight, plain, and single, or divorced.
2. Results - Massive verbal attack design to make the person feel smaller than a BB on the moon. Followed by having their morals, and intelligence, defamed and denounced to within an inch of their short lives.
