    …Not a good seer when it pertains to her personal future indeed.

      She did once say, that she “can’t see things in which she’s emotionally invested” (or at least can’t see them well). Good or bad, I’d wager she’s pretty invested in her own future.

    She can be forgiven. Even an excellent Seer couldn’t be expected to See the sudden arrival of four rabid feral road-runners.

      Rolling on floor, Laughing very hard at the mental picture of four rabid feral road-runners.

      Or she did foresee the road-runners and thought it was the odd tasting tuna from last night (nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean?) Say.. No. MORE!

        That is not the worst of it. In order to be feral the species needs to have been domesticated and then returned to the wild. Thus domestic cats are feral but bobcats and lynx are wild.

    I thought Nadette was the seer among the group. Or, does this fall under the purview of something too close for her to be able to see it clearly?

      I think it was established early on that she can’t foresee her own future. That way lie paradoxes.

      • datora

        Well, paradoxes would be one problem. As bad, maybe worse, would be becoming Cassandra. Ability to see the exact future, no ability to change it, no ability to not see it.

        Paradoxes can be para-doctored. By Who?, you ask. Why Yes, I answer^^

    A freak tornado is going to blow Atsali into the arms of Skylar.

        So, that would make the message:
        I E
        I E
        I E
        I E

        Sorry. Message would read: ie ie ie ie

        My morse is a little rusty. Forgot how the difference between separating letters and separating words.

        ….autocorrect, I hate thee. Should have been “….there may yet be hope.” It still thinks hope should be hole….

    Does this mean that the winter curse _didn’t_ get transferred?

    Well, neither of them is Monica, so the worst wouldn’t happen just ’cause they asked. Unless that just hangs around the area…

    “That’s not how things work!”

    Actually, Nadette, that’s EXACTLY how things work.

    Apparently, the worst that could happen is that Skylar calls first.
