So the horns and tail, are they something she has to think to maintain? Or are they something she always has and has to hide to pass in the human world?
Based on what we’ve seen of the younger para kids in school and elsewhere, it’s probably the latter. Their “natural” form is clearly not-human, and they must learn to conceal this and maintain a human appearance via a shape-shift or glamour of some sort.
I was about to say the same thing. Judging from earlier strips when Pickle and her crew were younger, it’s one of the things they’re expected to master while in school.
I’ve been wondering. Atsali’s part siren enough that she can sing a siren song and attract just about anybody (except those who really care for her won’t be affected at all).
So what effect does Atsali singing “Schnitzelbank” and “Augustin” have on the biergarten’s customers?
And thereby hangs a tale…
Not everybody can pull off wearing a horned helmet. Oh, wait. That’s not a helmet.
But if this is Oktoberfest, she should be holding three steins in each hand.
Prosit!
It’s not Oktoberfest, just a themed restaurant in Japan
Those jugs look smaller than previous drawings.
Steins, they’re called steins.
I’m pretty sure those aren’t the jugs he’s talking about. heheh

She gets to keep her natural shape in the bar because Japan is para friendly.
And the bar owner encourages it to discourage anyone trying to hit on the girls.
Nobody, drunk or sober, would want to deal with succubus claws.

Probably attract more business from people who come and drink just to be near her.
All the men are suddenly straight, and all the women gay.
Or everyone is suddenly bi
A sudden increase in enrollment, in the local college’s continuing-education “Fundamentals of Traditional Woodworking” class?
🥴Skylar looks almost as good in a dirndl as Atsali does! 😏
