Which brings to mind Deadpool’s hilariously inappropriate line about Negasonic Teenage Warhead: “Oh, I so pity the dude who pressures HER into prom sex.”
Um, you need to ask? Quite aside from the dangers of Castela herself, have you *seen* her extended family? Or some of her friends?
The only possible chance of even brief survival would be if one of the more responsible adults happens to be nearby… and even most of those adults can be pretty impulsive. Phix is probably the best of them, but we’ve seen how dangerous she is when provoked.
and that’s assuming that said perv even CARED about the relatives of who he was going after… personally not knowing the statistics about such things, i would assume the perv doesn’t know who the victim is, nor any of the family, etc. and does the grab as a spur-of-the-moment, a “she was there and no-one else was, so i took her…”, impulse kind of thing, though i will accept that some whack-jobs DO go for the whole “I’m going to stalk the victim to get to know their patterns and habits before i get them” route…
AND if the hypothetical perv was one of those kind, and STILL decided to kidnap her, well then, i say he’s an instant Darwin Award Winner, though his relatives may just receive it in the mail anonymously from the MIB and they’d be mystified unto their dying day as to what Cousin Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob did to get the award in the first place… i mean they usually hear about it after the guy says “Hold ma’ Beer!” and THAT kind of story get REPEATED … A LOT… so eventually they WOULD hear about why he died… but with Pickle… nope…
I find myself wondering how many times MIB has had to cover up for some criminal getting dead or disappeared because they picked the wrong target in the para neighborhoods.
I would think the tweenaged para girls would tweak their human appearances to what they conceive to be desirable.
Some might overshoot what is acceptable.
Or their big sister might skew their concept of ‘Normal’.
slight time jump in the last panel? also Pickle is approachable, she just needs to bide her time. ~<3
nope… the bottom left corner of the strip two days ago, “Sugar n’ Spice”
If some perv tried to abduct Castela, would he live long enough to regret it?

I believe the statistics say she’s more likely to get perved by a family member or a friend of the family. They wouldn’t dare.

Heh… in at least one case, MIB is responsible for *causing* criminal deaths… just ask Suzie what she thinks of that class of criminal…
Dear, learn to recognize the happiness in someone else’s eyes when you come near. Develop confidence in that.
Beside that, as I recall, Castela can smell emotions emanating from other people. Nice talent to have.
The Spike of Doom!

There only scared of you till they get to know you. Then they’re terrified.
It’s indeed hard, for a person to be; who they truly are, opposed to what others see..
Has Paul-sama ever told us what kind of para Daylla is?
not that i know of…
