I get the impression that the MIB is not really a secret in the para community.
Now, whether or not mentioning that you have relatives in the FBI and/or para equivalent is a bad idea… eh, I lack the experience needed to make that call.
The MIB was earlier portrayed as kinda the governing authority of the para community. It’s just that Monica and company were all several tiers above the vast majority of “immortal” politicians running it. So likely not a bad thing.
I get the sense the “poor sweetie” is more for having possible helicopter relatives who are professionally snoops, with power/position to be snoopy if so inclined. Just wait until Jin pops in for a visit.
@DJTsurugi: Click on the “Skylar” entry in the Characters tag up above… it will take you to a page with thumbnails of all of the strips she has appeared in. One of them is a pinup which shows her with horns and tail. Very few of us mundanes have both a tail and a set of horns.
MiB is sort of a shadow government in the para world, apparently – remember, when Bud was Atsali and Castela’s shopping buddy at the para mall, she said that Katherine had X dollars for each of them … and that MiB would match it.
Most kids relatives aren’t, themselves, bunker-busting artillery and tactical nukes.
Heck, Atsali herself probably qualifies as a bunker-buster. Her sister is probably closer to a city-buster, (if not a Class 3-A TEOTWAWKI…maybe ..much, higher), and a few of her aunts are TEOTWAWKI, Class-X, (her aunt Monica might be as high as Class X-4), ordinance.
not sure that’s info you should be sharing there Atsali. ~<3

have we had any indication that this girl is a para? this might be a regular college. ~<3
She is a para. It is not a regular college.

Plutoniumboss,

not that’s information you share its like a trump card. Kids of cops tend to be VERY strange its like a warning.
I’d say that she’d amazingly observant for someone who can’t read social cues.
Atsali can’t read facial expressions and body language, not quite the same thing.
And Jin has been tutoring her!
Oh, there’s more to it than that. She literally had to be taught about sarcasm.
Practice practice practice
Just wait until Skylar finds out about Atsali’s extended family…
Think Skylar might go fangirl if she knew that one of Atsali’s “aunts” is the famous / infamous Jaguar Girl.
Or catatonic…
Why not both?
Atsali is no dumby, they’re not fooling her that easily. 😉
Excellent comic as always Paul. <3
