    What’s up with Atsali’s eyes in the first panel?

      I’d say it is a look of stunned wonder at learning something new about the Library transport Grid.

      Surely you’ve heard of ‘wide-eyed wonder”?

      I don’t know. Those Italian pastries are hard to beat.

        I’ve been recently introduced to Portuguese Tarts. They’re delightful!

      Unfortunately, Paris is full of Frenchmen.

        No, Paris is full of Parisians! Ask any Frenchman.

      Lübeck, Germany. The dressmakers are mostly under the radar, but the Marzipan!

        Rome. Aside from the obvious, really in-the-know paras stop by Ravelly Ole’s hole-in-the-wall trattoria.

      Stockholm. H & M, followed by a quick trip to Vette Katten. Yum! : )

    Atsali and her big appetite lol.
    Somehow she looks alot like Monica when she says that, makes u wonder if the two go bagel hunting together from time to time.

      Dangerous Prey, those agels, especially in their native environment.

      Her metabolism must be just short of a blast furnace.

        If she has to stuff it down to feed her inner siren as well, I’d be surprised if she wasn’t eating all the time.

        She can fly under her own wing power. Think of the energy budget she must operate under.

    The teleportal is a bubble of glowing hexagons?
    I see we’re seeing them from outside.
    So… Is there a touch screen menu or is it voice activated?
    I’m sure the semi-sapient library has no problem with the portal being used frivolously.

      The hexagons represent the Library network in action; i have wondered if one of the Wapsi crew might encounter the Strikewitches in the system, someday.

        As much as I enjoyed the Strike Witches anime (everything I could get my hands on), just….no.
        The characters from that would clash horribly with this, so lets NOT go there. Ever.

    Speaking of Para-Friendly clothes….
    Maybe she can pick up something that permits wings and tail but still fits when they’re not manifested.

      It might become awkward when the sales person asks Atsalli to show her her human form.
      Tall and busty *IS* her human form!
      She’ll have to show her her horns/wings/tail/talons form.

    Portugal. Designer clothes and Malasadas though you can get those also at Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu. Not the clothes, the Malasadas

      If you have Library access, you have portal access, apparently.

        Just not long ago, the library kicked Atsali out early because she was in the orphanage and could stay only an hour. I’m just sayin’.

        But that story begins with Atsali and Katherine accessing the Mesa Verde(?) portal on the spur of the moment.

        It’s possible they traveled on Katherine’s access – but apparently Big Bird was sure that it would work and she had no reason to assume Katherine had priority access.

    Even the awesome Jin is a bit intimidated by Atsali’s… “presence”. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the world’s fashion centers didn’t jump on the opportunity to dress and style Atsali!

      I dunno about intimidation, but I could buy a sudden head dodge as Atsali swung around.

    Pastries or pasties? ‘Cause Atsali doesn’t need the latter…

      No, that would appear to be Skylar.

    My recommendation for both pastries and design would be Scandinavia, particularly Finland. Lingonberries and cardamom and butter and Marimekko-yes please!

    With what Atsali said, Paris comes to mind…

    Enjoying Jin’s face in Sali’s cleavage in the last panel
    Methinks Jin may have found a bester bud than Monica… nah, she’ll just make it a three-way (or a four-way because Sali will insist on having Dette join them)

      Actually, Jin is looking up at Sali’s face.
