Forget about your ice cubes!: For those needing a reminder, Svetty is an insect controller, Matt is an ice maker. They were originally introduced in the Olga & Brelvis mini when they were first year cadets. They also both had parts in The Olaf Mystery.
Also, it seems that Yasmeen isn’t all that chill about her alternative adventures with Olaf – as seen on page 7.56 and page 7.71 and pages 7.99-100
Patrons: Over on Patreon page 180 is now up – page 181 soon…
Next update: Apologies, end of work year capers have interrupted my ability to get sat down and Magellan… will get back to you very soon…December 13, 2022: You have to be kidding me…
First she doesn’t want to be resurrected, then she doesn’t want to be unresurrected–make up your mind!
Keep in mind Yasmin that decapitation may not accomplish your goal. How do you kill a potential necromancer?
As is nearly always the case, use fire. If fire has not worked increase the amount of fire applied until it DOES work.
Or do as the Rarg do and use gravity. If gravity has not worked, increase the amount of gravity applied until it does work.
The advantage of gravity is that it really can be increased until it DOES work, no matter what you’re trying to destroy.
Well, anything with mass, anyway…
I approve of this.
I mean, I’m not approving of an attempt or desire to slay Olaf per sey, but rather that it’s very appropriate narratively from my reading of the text and subtext.
And Yasmeen is coming across as Grade A hero material here, honestly. She’s prioritizing the more severe threat with massive consequences over her personal feeling on something which happened in an alternate reality. Even if her feeling about Olaf might be misplaced (or maybe not?), she’s not only on the clear path to the more important goal, she’s setting another student on that path.
I’m very much invested in her story arc!
You mentioned Svetty and Matt but I’m more interested in Gabby’s reaction … she complained in past about disadvantages of not being able to turn off her powers. Will she enjoy little break from them or will she welcome them even more when they return?
what makes you think that people separated from their powers will be getting them back? I don’t see the Rarg not improving the tech they captured to make it as effective as possible.
The Rarg weren’t expecting them to live long enough for the effects to wear off, and they’re so pissed off that they’re being idiots by attacking the species rather than the organization that hurt them without even knowing they were there. Powers are coming back eventually.
Priorities, Sun. Yes, Olaf is freaky and maybe evil, but right now you are under immediate threat. FOCUS.
Thought of Freaky vs Evil.
Wonder how Olaf-aid in a Super Team could have been/will be against Q’Arth demons, if/when Master Drake opens the path for them. I also wonder what he thinks he will gain from the Q’Arth demons.
I also wonder if the ability of Q’Arth to bypass invulnerability is the foundation of the development of Magellan>Prometheus>Rarg powers suppression.
It does seem like Magellan retro-engineering provided stand on hover disks prototype to cadets in Lockdown, that seemed like it could have been based on Brain spike’s.
*hums very loudly and refuses to weigh in*
Oh noes! Look out Olaf! The Sphera Animarium may yet be compromised!! This situation is decidedly non-optimal!!
So, it’s ice boy and fire girl as a couple. How fitting.
“Girl the things that you know to do,
Just make my heat index
Go through the roof.
There’s fire in your fingertips
Flames in your touch
Desire in your burning lips
Can’t get enough.
Today was a scorcher
But I’ll go you one better.
Tonight when we get together
We’re gonna make steam.
Steam
We’re gonna make steam”
That’s a bit rough on Olaf
Especially considering that he was able to bring some of the team, even if only temporarily, back from the dead. That might be a useful skill to keep around, even if Yasmeen thinks he’s “creepy”.
Hmm … Yasmeen doesn’t have firsthand memory of how things were after Sun, Ornuk and her were resurrected, but I doubt Olga left out details. They definitely were not themselves, which does add an squick factor to the prospect of it happening to you or someone you know
You mean to tell me that Yasmeen doesn’t want to be buried in Pet Semetary, doesn’t want to live her life again?
NP, figured it was just RL tubthumping you around the EOY.
Merry cerulean and a happy blue ear.
Seriously if your end of year project craziness is like mine, just put the due date for mid January. Don’t stress yourself about both jobs!
