      Just need them to fall asleep, and return forthwith to their places of origin, or to their next convenient parallel dimensions.

      Indeed. I’m surprised I even caught on to this before this page myself, I’m not always the quickest draw despite clues being available.

    I wonder if the Space-Time Continuum would have been torn asunder if Mindy had offered her a Sammich.

      Probably not torn asunder, but it definitely would have gone all wibbly-wobbly.

      The Space-Time Continuum is too distracted by the scantily clad demi-Goddess and wouldn’t notice.

      Yes, that was a real possibility. Creating time paradoxes involving food is always a risky business.

      Nothing bad would have happened if Mindy offered young Barbara a sandwich. However, if Barbara had reached out and taken it, the time continuum would have ruptured, and Barbara would have found herself in the Thyme Forest, where she would have been trapped for 80,000 years and would have survived only by evolving into a famous chef (the Sage of the Kitchen).

      Since that didn’t happen, all of the recipes she might have created will never be known in our particular timeline. One of the little tragedies of the Multiverse, I suppose.

    That pretty much confirms it: time loops are mechanism #3 for creating “ghosts”.

      That is, Mindy already knew the story.

    since when do specters, ghosts, or whatever-she-is get tummy growls?

    Does kind of fit the ‘time loop’ theory, though.

      It’s possible. She had a “hypothesis about Mindy”. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/shaken-up/ In the context it sounded like it had to do with nudging her and Hiroshi together, but maybe not.

    Her own hypothesis about Mindy?
    http://wapsisquare.com/comic/shaken-up/

    At the time, I thought it was to do with the Hiroshi prodding … but maybe she is thinking that Mindy was the lady with the lantern?

      Mindy’s flashlight is the lantern.

    Never eat or drink when Dining With Fae!

    While Barbara is not technically Underhill here she is heavily immersed in a trans temporal magic event. Mindy and the tart that she’s about to give young Barbara are from 15 years in Barbara’s future. The tart is a Out Of Time anomaly and when young Barbara eats it she will become locked into her current maturity state until the A-chronal loop is complete. That’s why 18 year old Barbara has the physical maturity of a 3 year old.

    Tomorrow morning, after Mindy has left young Barbara and returned to her pallet beside in the sleeping room and gone back to sleep, current Barbara will probably wake up having gone through 15 years of physical maturation in one night.

    Sorta like Atsali did.

      In Atsali’s case, it was more like 4→8 years than 15.

      Very good point to consider. Sudden change from three year old to 18 might be a bit traumatic.

        Normally, 18 year olds have experienced the buildup of ‘raging hormones’ over at least 6 years and have been told about it in one form or another.
        Barbara will experience that buildup over 24 hours… with no preparation.
