Those eyes...

==========================

Those eyes … talk about deer-in-the-headlights.

With tusks

"An explosion happened in Minneapolis today. Authorities believe that swamp gas mixed with a leak of natural gas, and was ignited by sunlight reflected off a series of weather balloons, during a freak thunderstorm."

Of course she heard.

Poor Pickle.

I am sure she will be rational and level minded about this.

Someone called it, a day or two ago...

I'm hoping that the fact that she heard them be concerned for her and how to tell her will help convince her of their well meaning.



I also find it somewhat amusing that Timothy apparently had no idea whatsoever that Castela cared for him.


And, of course...

Poor Pickle!

Note that Timothy has, pretty much, magically progressed from a scruffy-cute middle-schooler to a neat, rational-looking tween/teen?

Residual effects of the temporal warping of the Calender machine. The Milky Way Galaxy is behind the rest of the universe by 80-something-thousand years in entropy p, cause-and-effect, and plain-ol' time, so it could be time anomalies are randomly catching things up.

Which is why the Wapsi time is all weird compared to ours.

And how a bit from a story that nobody has even begun writing yet, managed to somehow sneak out of that story and try to hide in Stainless Steel Angel.

Right. A few character's local temporal states fluctuated and tried to jump ahead, but it was too big a jump for the universe to support the paradoxes, so it sprang back. It will reach equilibrium in a while.

Biological nuclear meltdown in 6...5...4...3...2...1... huh? What? This is FRIDAY's cartoon?!?... well... well, shit...

Does Castel appear to be stunned to you or is it just me?

More like "her world is crashing down around her ears"

It may not actually be that bad, but that's what it feels like.

As a guy, I can confirm we definitely ARE that oblivious.

Awww Poor Cassie. I feel bad for her. At least I hope she knows Scarlet (who looks GREAT without her glasses) and Timothy don't want to hurt her feelings.
Maybe Castella will bump - or crash - into someone else at the Comic-con while in her state of shock. Can't wait till Monday.

Is this an appropriate situation for someone to remark "There goes Pablo, dropping the transmission on us again"?

Castela's big sister got up the nerve (probably for the first time) to ask a boy out on a date... which gave him the confidence to ask someone else out on a date...

... claiming it wasn't a date didn't work for avoiding that sort of result, I guess...

*waves*

Eh, close enough. She didn't interrupt though, so there's no room for misinterpretation or added drama.

I would agree with you, but I have no idea whatsoever...

A water deer in the headlights?

Might want to be careful throwing the word "freak" around in that area just about now. . .

This might be about the best way for her to find out. She's finding out the truth, without any misguided attempts to obscure it. She can have time by herself to process the news, without anybody to actively conflict with and set alight. By the time Scarlet or Timothy try telling her about it, she'll have had time to calm down. Maybe.

Either that, or without anybody there to moderate her actions, she'll just go totally off the deep end.

Maybe partly due to him cosplaying a certain character? I have no idea who Luffy is, so I don't know if he is typically neat and rational looking.

Heck. I'm talking about since he came on the set in this sequence...
