Well, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IF Atsali didn't know that was nadette, there are going to be tense times between them... However, Nadette's object lesson to Abby and Devyn couldn't me more succinct...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Saw a big ol' bear menacing/attacking her friends, reacted without thought - like with Tsillah.
This actually underscores Atsali's inability to "read" emotions as well.DilyV wrote:Well, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IF Atsali didn't know that was nadette, there are going to be tense times between them... However, Nadette's object lesson to Abby and Devyn couldn't me more succinct...

Both sides of her heritage are manifesting at the same time. There's going to be some blended traits, such as the now pointed ears, the feet, tail, and the wings looking a bit different.jwhouk wrote:The feet and tail... don't look quite right...
I wonder if she's got horns. They'd be off screen if she does.

A little different - Tsillah and Tsillah's mom were both startle reactions.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Fairly sure she didn't know.Alkarii wrote:Don't forget the safeword!

Same "Hit now, investigate later" adrenaline- fuelled impulse, though.

Hmmm . . . given Devyn's comment about being able to kill everyone in a ten-block area and her uncle's powers . . . is it going to be Devyn that puts a stop to the fight?
And why am I envisioning Atsali and Nadette in the ER getting bandaged up a la "best slumber party ever!" while their moms chew them out?

Re: Ever Violent 2016-05-16
That's a good thought! From what we've seen, Devyn is perfectly capable of summoning up about a million gallons of cold seawater from that fjord right over yonder and dumping it on the two combatants. She might even be to wash the two apart, with tsunami in different directions.FreeFlier wrote:Hmmm . . . given Devyn's comment about being able to kill everyone in a ten-block area and her uncle's powers . . . is it going to be Devyn that puts a stop to the fight?
I'm wondering whether broken necks and shattered skulls will be sufficiently helped via bandaging. Those are not light-weight blows the two are exchanging.And why am I envisioning Atsali and Nadette in the ER getting bandaged up a la "best slumber party ever!" while their moms chew them out?

Nadette is a shapeshifter. She can turn into a balloon animal. Her body doesn't work like anything I am prepared to even try to explain.
If she can turn into a twisted balloon and back (and maintain the power of speech), I don't think she CAN be hurt... And if she can sustain damage, she can probably just shape-shift it away. Healing is just repair, and she has a much faster way to repair damage.
Atsali has a healing factor. Not quite on the same level as Wolverine, but it's there. In most fiction, people with healing factors don't have to worry about getting casts - they set their bones correctly on their own, sometimes complete with the sickening crunch, sometimes not.
I don't really know how this is gonna turn out, but I've got my popcorn.

Re: Ever Violent 2016-05-16
Someone mentioned, on Friday, I think, that Nadette may have had her own episode of unintentionally hurting someone, and she wants to spare Atsali the grief of such an ordeal (I'm too lazy to look up who said that... )
Given Nadette's quick response to Atsali's blow, I would not be surprised if that was indeed the case. That had all the earmarks of an ingrained, instinctual response. Something like that may very well have happened before, with the one difference being that the recipient of such a reaction may not have been as able to take it as Atsali is.

In the "best sleepover" incident, Nadette did take some damage which required (or at least seemed to call for) some bandages.GlytchMeister wrote:Nadette is a shapeshifter. She can turn into a balloon animal. Her body doesn't work like anything I am prepared to even try to explain.

So, it appears that her shapeshifting ability does not imply complete invulnerability. And, we know she's not immune to organic poisons such as hydroxyethane.
Re: Ever Violent 2016-05-16
Yeah, and everyone that we've seen Atsali get violent with (except for that one would-be murderer in one of the fanfics) COULD take it. In fact, two of them we've seen beheaded and still talking.lake_wrangler wrote:Someone mentioned, on Friday, I think, that Nadette may have had her own episode of unintentionally hurting someone, and she wants to spare Atsali the grief of such an ordeal (I'm too lazy to look up who said that... )

I've seen that foot on an Australian flightless bird similar to an ostrich but larger (and extinct).
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
