I’m confused. Doesn’t Shawna know that Castela is perfectly capable of leveling the whole mansion? Or did she pick Scarlet as the level head wingman while Pickle was playing at spooking herself?
The rest of the group may not be aware of Cas’s power. She’s actually demonstrated her power blast to just a few people. No idea if she’s told people without it to showing them.
Yeah, I don’t think many know… they might have been told that she’s pretty strong, but I think Bud might be the only one present who’s actually seen Cas blowing up mountains for fun.
My mother, even up into her late 50s, would throw her arm out across me when she had to suddenly apply the brakes. I towered over her, and almost a hundred pounds on her. It could have been a natural reaction.
Flying back to the states on leave, I was seated between two lovely older women who were easily in their late 60s if not older. We hit a spot of bad turbulance halfway over the Pacific and I was pinned TIGHT to the seat by a small, frail looking arm shooting out from either side. I’m 6’2″ and weighed about 250lbs at that point. The protective instinct doesn’t die easy.
The “If needed. F’r sumthin” in Castela’s embarrassed explanation on the previous page tells me that some or all of the club members are not aware of her power levels.
Maybe they’re not corrective lenses in the human sense.
Perhaps they correct via hiding or blocking an aspect of her eyes that she has yet to fully master. Such as iris colour/shape or a mesmerising/petrifying stare.
She’s still wearing a fancy shirt, tie, and vest, so the clothes are the same. As for tentacles, her arms might have been shifting in and out of tentacle-mode. Or last comic was drawn through Pickle-vision.
It looks to me like one of those t-shirts that are printed to look like a suit.
(Google Image Search for “suit print t-shirt”. I’d link it but Google search URLs are stupidly long.)
Bud once burned down a continent. Is the product of technology far beyond anything in the last 12,000 years. Can throw at 1/3 the speed of light. Is annoyed when someone traps her in a nuclear explosion. And you’re worried about Cass DPS? Me, too.
Kinda like the background image of Scar and Shawna in the last two panels 😀
They are probably thinking: “They are supposed to be the chaperones, and here to watch over us? Who is going to watch over them? O_O” 😛
Bud *is* there. So two of those present could destroy the planet. Good! I think…
Now, now. On her own, Bud will probably stop at just the bulk of Europe and Asia, with a dash of northern Africa
I ALWAYS wondered what a pixie looked like (Yeah I know, ghosts and chaos, and I’m on about this…)
She’s not showing her antlers this time – look at the Ghost Club Sleepover segment.
I’m confused. Doesn’t Shawna know that Castela is perfectly capable of leveling the whole mansion? Or did she pick Scarlet as the level head wingman while Pickle was playing at spooking herself?
That’s why they’re taking her out. So she doesn’t level the whole mansion herself.
Maybe she wanted Castela to stay down so she didn’t destroy the mansion.
Or she just wanted to throw herself on top of Castela . . .
She doesn’t know who the Off Tank actually Is in the Raiding party.
The rest of the group may not be aware of Cas’s power. She’s actually demonstrated her power blast to just a few people. No idea if she’s told people without it to showing them.
Correction: …without showing it to them.

And Daylla.

If the three adults would just groom each other, this crisis could have been avoided.
A bit of pre-grooming may have precipitated this, “Valerie, hold on there’s something on your head….”
This is not what I would normally think of, when the words “outing” and “stag” both apply to a situation.
I just realized that the whole of wapsi square is Gaiman fodder. Cool.
Gaiman?
I’m assuming Ethyl is referring to Neil Gaiman. That said, the whole world, plus most of folklore is Gaiman fodder!
P.S. Are we talking Sandman, Anansi Boys, American Gods?
Neverwhere.
Gavote:- the answer to your P.S. is… ‘yes’ 🙂
Digit is the MVP here.
So, only two of Shawna’s 6 eyes need corrective lenses?
She can certainly lend a whole new level to the phrase “eyes bugged out.”
8 eyes.. an i wood say all 8 need lenses.. but for the ‘human’ look only 2 get them…
Perhaps it is the other way around. Her vision is normally perfect but she needs the corrective lens in human mode.
Maybe they’re not corrective lenses in the human sense.
Perhaps they correct via hiding or blocking an aspect of her eyes that she has yet to fully master. Such as iris colour/shape or a mesmerising/petrifying stare.
Ye coats… if a beetle caused that, what will a real ghost/monster do?
Flee in justifiable terror?
Run Away Screaming about Eldritch Horrors, when Pickle goes Full Audrey on ’em? :)P
Wasn’t Val wearing a suit and had tendrils for hands a minute ago?
She’s still wearing a fancy shirt, tie, and vest, so the clothes are the same. As for tentacles, her arms might have been shifting in and out of tentacle-mode. Or last comic was drawn through Pickle-vision.

Considering that “human” is only a disguise for these gals, when they freak out it’s a reminder that they ARE freaks by their own nature.
Life with paras must just be continually *interesting*.
For various values of “interesting”…
“May you live in ‘interesting’ times.
Well, as long as no one decides to define interesting as “Oh God, Oh God, we’re all going to die” they should be fine.
Okay, but is no one going to comment on how adorable Scarlet’s ears are in those last two panels?!
You just did.
Someone doesn’t know that Cas is the Off Tank with a High DPS.
That’s the problem, her DPS is too high, and they’re in a destructible environment.
She is Ten Tons Of Whoop-@#$ In A Fifty-Pound Frame. A Pocket Battle-Cruiser. ‘High DPS’ is a laughable understatement. 🙂
Bud once burned down a continent. Is the product of technology far beyond anything in the last 12,000 years. Can throw at 1/3 the speed of light. Is annoyed when someone traps her in a nuclear explosion. And you’re worried about Cass DPS? Me, too.
Thing is, Bud has had a dozen or so millennia to adapt to being a weapon of mass destruction. And Cas is a hormonal teenager.
Chow down, Digit!
Flop-eared blank-staring Defenders of S.O.s!!
And poor Timmeh is still recovering from the Scar-hug over by the door where he fell 😀
Ladies, time to check your mates are okay 😉
Good save Scarlet: distracting Castella from panicking and turning Valerie into atoms with an energy blast.
I found Digit’s reaction hilarious, especially imagining it delivered in her deadpan demeanor.
Kinda like the background image of Scar and Shawna in the last two panels 😀
