That's quick thinking Chuck, but syrup won't stop them!
As an additional observation, the Nu Gho seems to have long, straight hair as opposed to Brandi's curly, springy hair.
And if that's a finger claw being obscured by the whisps of whatever at the top of the winglike structure on her back, she may have bat/dragon wings.

An Infocom text adventure game, Beyond Zork, has a location where you need to get across a deep canyon. There's a rope bridge heading north across the canyon.
You stand on the south side of a deep canyon. Roads lead east and west. A rope bridge leads north.
>north
Halfway across the Bridge of Zeno
>north
Three-quarters of the way across the Bridge of Zeno
[... many "north"s later ...]
>north
Immeasurably close to the north end of the Bridge of Zeno
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

No. It's their trope. Every single long-running Wapsi character they first meet will be in a moment of projecting their greatest terror or majesty.nerf-dweller wrote:And ya by now Lily and Suzy should be inured to all of this by now. I'd say from the second panel that they are almost, but not quite, there yet.
They will not be allowed to become "inured".
In the next few moments, Atsali is going full siren, and whoop a triumphant note, mesmerizing them by accident. Katherine will be casually tossing the glowing spider-crystal in one hand, and introduce herself as, "Doc Gilchrist, USAF. Adventure is my office, and I'm open for business."
Later, Shelly will first encounter them by sidling up behind them in grand Stygian demeanor, and whisper some zen depths to them--as we have never heard her pronounce before--before slipping purposefully back into the darkness, leaving Pratt and McBride wishing they could cry pure tears of awe.
They'll first come across Euryale and Stheno as they're in the middle of a sibling gorgon fight, the likes of which the world hasn't seen in 3000 years.
Their first scene with May will be listening to her reveal all her plans, before throwing a switch.
They will attempt to detain Tina just as she approaches critical meld state, which will involve an initial phase of tentacles exploding out of her head orifices, and stretching all across the coffee shop.
Tepoz will be dressing as the Trilogy of Terror Zuni doll for Halloween, which is the perfect time to meet new vampires.
Desperate for normalcy, they'll have to turn to M and Tsillah, who have already got their shots in. (And maybe Nudge, who apparently is not sullying herself by joining in with these amateur pranksters.)

Yep, bat/dragon wings. And has her heart torn out to boot. What do you think are the odds that the vamp gals know exactly what to do in this situation?

And, alas, it was their experience upon meeting Dietzel for the first time which finally broke them. There are some experiences that even world-wise-and-weary vampires should not be expected to withstand.Yamara wrote:"Er, gee, guys, things aren't usually that crazy around here," apologized the Jaguar as she tore a bit of meat off a bone.

I tried shooting an attacking salad once. It still would not die.Dave wrote:Those have been outlawed in several states, as being offensive to public morals and decency, so they are no longer being advertised in the national media.Atomic wrote:. . . .
But -- but -- what about the turnip twizzler?
Similar problems exist with the Salad Shooter. State laws vary so much that it's hard to market them. They're entirely outlawed in some states, permitted in most, a few states allow "concealed carry" in lunchboxes, and a few towns in farm states have even passed laws requiring that every household own a Salad Shooter in good condition and keep a supply of fresh lettuce and tomatoes available at all times.
It really makes life difficult for the shipping-and-fulfillment company. Politics... *sigh*
