Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
So basically our baby-succubus had no one who could teach her how this stuff works, so she turned her soul into a lantern-battery?
Impressive. Most impressive.
Kinda reminds me of the Neoteric Sorcerers from the later Skullduggery Pleasant books.
Abilties that work differently than normal because no one told you what „normal” looks like are always fun."If it lives it can be killed.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
The Veil affects both what is seen, and what is perceived. That's how it handles camera footage, and that's how it resolves discrepancies like Pixel's transformed shape being much larger than her normal body that the Veil shows. So a camera would show a normal Pixel, anyone not exempt from the Veil would see a normal Pixel, and anyone having to interact with Pixel would misremember the exact details of the interaction. The latter part is why Pixel doesn't want to shapeshift in a nightclub, btw - suddenly changing size drastically creates a simultaneous blank space for anyone witnessing the transformation, and the Veil can't compensate for tertiary deductive reasoning - someone will catch on that something strange is going on.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
Probably makes sense, this isnt exactly her lair, its some place empty close by she could easily sneak her captive into then interrogate, presumably execute, and abandon. We cant be sure how long she has been planning this, or if it was a spur of the moment "I spotted evil, lets get it!" reaction.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
Detectives being knocked out in detective stories is standard fare. It's rubbish, being regularly knocked out is really bad for the brain, and in real life it doesn't happen much, but it's a cliche because it happens so often in stories, it takes a really dedicated writer to avoid it because it's so useful in writing stories.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

She isn't knocked out, just paralyzed. And she has mentally controlled weaponry. Something is likely to explode on Thursday.

If she can move the orbs to smack people with them, couldn't she move the orbs into contact with her hands?

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
Lets see if she can think that far ahead or not. Also, they seem to need to be actually held in the palm of her hand, like, she cant tape them to the back of her hand and so be able to grip things while using the orbs, so that might be a problem. But if she can snap the limbs of whatever the heck scionas body was, then she is still far from totally helpless here.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
The fine controls do seem to need her to use her fingers to select options, however. Not that that will stop her from using the lighthook to turn this witch into a pinata.

Sydney doesn't need to touch the orbs to use them as a weapon. She can move them around with enough force to break bones just with her mind.

In an alternate continuity sidney has never figured out the orbs have actual uses and is instead The Mighty Clobber!

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
It is a head-scratcher. Actually, trying to figure out how she functions unsupervised in modern society can also be a conundrum.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
Spoiler: Thursday Jan. 9 comicI'm starting to like this story arc, as it seems we've got a legitimately good vigilante. Sure, she's got some incorrect notions about demons, but it seems really easy to have incorrect notions about demons so that seems forgivable. (If I saw a 'teenage' demon, I'd assume the teenage part was a ruse.) This is a chance for us to see Archon interact with vigilantes. They discussed it before, but we haven't seen it happen yet.
I wonder if the spider-lady will wind up joining Archon, get imprisoned for refusing, or become a good-motivated 'villain' by refusing to accept any sort of alliance with Darkness. (Or just go off-screen as I heard she is a Patreon cameo, but so were some others like the clothing-control guy who's reoccurred a few times.)
Edit/correction: I think I mis-wrote and that the young succubus is the cameo, not the vigilante, but I don't really remember now.Last edited by JeenLeen; 2020-01-09 at 01:08 PM.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
And that answers the question of her using the orbs like this. Handy she fell with her palm facing up though.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
She really only needed a palm to not be against the ground. One palm up means she can use the Lighthook to flip over the other so she can tuck the Shield orb into it and wait out the poison. Or see if that orange sphere is a medical suite, as long as she has nothing else to do.

Re: Grrl Power V: Probably Not an Octopus
I still want to see if she can fly by mentally moving the orbs under her like a chair or something. It might not be good for fast travel, but it might be good for an emergency dodge while using two nonflying orbs at the same time. Probably be very tough to multitask to that level but might come in handy.

Whaddaya know, Sydney's non-golden co-workers are tired of her antics as well.
