After reflecting on what Devyn said yesterday about control of minerals and today's strip, it occurred to me that Poseidon was also the god of earthquakes.

On the other, she scared Connie. Conscience, an elemental who can beat the snot out of a Titan, scares Sphinxes, and the full extent of whose power WE and SHE do not know. AND who is drunk, I'd point out. Devyn may be able to call on the ocean, but that doesn't mean she can trump Connie if Connie gets angry.

Let's hope they both deal with this calmly.

I'm sure that had a sobering effect.

That cant forget what she is and use the water like it was part of her body... just imagineif she needed to scratch her back in the place no one can itch

Well, suffice it to say that was a very sobering event for Connie... and Devyn knows it... and id reveling in it

Another thought: a normal human body (not sure if this would apply to Connie) is mostly water. Devyn could probably kill people in large numbers by moving their spinal fluid around.

There's minerals in a lot more places than that. She could literally make you dance by moving your bones.

I wonder if her family is responsible for reports of skeleton warriors (not the Rob Liefeld cartoon) and ghouls (proper term for undead "zombies") throughout the centuries.

Right now, Atsali and Nadette just had a saltwater rain on their 'parade'- I'm wondering when Newton's third law kicks in...

If you're talking about the "T" that goes at the beginning of the word "tsunami", and therefore should be present on the thread title, I don't think Sgr. Howard caught on to what you were doing...

That was not sufficient water to travel a Tsunami any distance- the only wave action will be right where Connie can see it- besides, she's looking DOWN not OUT TO SEA.

what Dyven said; ". . . the control over Minerals. Salt deposits aren't quite as limber. . . .but the ocean, . . ." Sounds like she could make your blood dance a jig, but could only break your bones . . .

As far as Connies Face in that last panel. Judging from the angle of her looking down and horrified, I say Dyven made a huge hole in the ocean (parted the sea like Moses) (without making a Tsunami) just to freak out little Connie.

Just one more thing; Pretty sure those weren't mermaids picking on her earlier. Mermaids might not be the brightest paranormals, but they would know better than to screw with someone from "that" family. And showing them the horror of her world of feels was actually the least she could do . . . it could have been much worse.

Never apologize for creativity!

By the way, you may have added a "T" to your latest post, but you still need to edit the first post of the thread, as well, to include the missing "T".
