Only portions of it. Look close. That collision wasn’t entirely Inelastic. the mountain range didn’t move very much. The Rock went Z-I-N-G over th horizon to their left. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/elacol.html
If you ever get a chance to visit Canyon de Chelly, do so. Even if you’re acrophobic like me. It’s about 2 hours drive from Monument Valley and 4 or so hours from the Grand Canyon. All three are spectacular.
There are probably sooo many mystical defense layers to the Canyon that only if Stinkweed went to Goddess level on power might the outside world notice.
If a NASA or other satellite picks up those flashes, or if the EMP from those plasmas bolts is picked up by a bunch of amateur radio operators out on a direction-finding exercise, Castella may get a serious talking-to about “Don’t make MIB work so hard to cover up your little games, ok?”
…I doubt MIB is likely to be caught out on such things; there’s a =reason= they brought her there to blow off steam – better she do it there, than somewhere more… sensitive.
See http://www.word-detective.com/2010/03/english-on-a-ball-etc/ . You hit the ball off-center to cause it to spin. (like a curve ball in baseball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curveball) It can enable you to do some shots that seem impossible. If you don’t do it exactly right, you can end up in a position you didn’t want. So “putting a little too much English on the ball” means making a mistake in doing something resulting in an undesirable result.
I’ve been wondering. Digit can’t make facial expressions; Atsali can’t read them. Do they ever interact with one another? Do they ever, as a team, interact together with anyone else?
I still think that the Park Rangers at Canyon de Chelly would frown on her activities, And the locals, the Diné, might be upset about her blowing up potentially sacred places. I know that I would be if someone were going around messing with my landscape like that.
Na, HaDoKen woulda blown a hole right into the mountain. HiShoKen would have gone =through=, and Dog forbid KaMeHaMeHa, which would have sent the mountain into orbit – in pieces… ,,,O!O,,,
Ooh. Color.
Ooh, plasma!
THOOOOOOM
…And that’s nowhere even NEAR the Biggest BOOM In The Room…

Ah, crap. I sense fear and alienation inbound.
Did she really have to vaporize a chunk of real estate to explain the connection to Reginald; or, is she just showing off?
It wasn’t a chunk of real estate. It was a rock. In the desert.
What makes this land not real estate?
It wasn’t land. It was a rock.
And technically, it’s not real estate unless someone holds title to it.
Only portions of it. Look close. That collision wasn’t entirely Inelastic. the mountain range didn’t move very much. The Rock went Z-I-N-G over th horizon to their left.

To me, it looks like the rock was destroyed and the beam ricocheted left and dissipated.
O….K! So she has reason to have an overly Buff Ego. I’ll be eagerly anticipating Daylia’s snarky comeback.
Note – That was deliberate, if she can make filigree Psudo-Moroccan carvings out of obsidian. .

I can’t help wondering how the Navajo Nation is responding to all the pyrotechnics in the Canyon. It’s, um, sort of important to their people.
They probably have a strong desire to revere the paras. If you look at their mythos there were plenty in there.
“If plant-lady-goddess wants to rearrange the scenery, WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT.”

Beautiful art!
OMG! My dork of a friend may be as powerful as her aunts!
Corner pocket? There is a crater where the bar used to be!
As a male of the human species, that alt-text sounds…painful…

Like supersonic booms over Minneapolis?
I don’t think I’ve heard or seen the phrase ‘too much english on the ball’.
In pool it usually results in the cue ball ending up in the wrong place after striking the object ball.
Not necessarily. It’s used for ball control. But most places in the world call it ‘spin’ rather than ‘english.’

Like a ball jumping off the table for instance.
That’s if you try to put TOO much down-spin on the cue ball.

It’s not the first time public space has been made into a paranormal retreat. Norway has a huge no-fly zone for them.
Haaaaadoken!

This was more a “Hold My Beer” thing… 😀
Obviously; when Dayla was talking about wearing her catcher’s gear, she didn’t mean to be saying that the goggles were also hers.
(unless this is just the first time she wore them outdoors)⁉️
Castela, the walking proton torpedo… 😲🎇👍
