    Half-Ogre!? Cool. Time overlap? Cool. Secrets from the past? Cool.

      Someone for once in a ghost mystery outright stating facts instead of everyone spouting nonsense? Cool.

    “Were you worried?”

    “Of course not. Doofus.”

      “Worried? Why would I be worried? You were just dealing with a three year old me. Do you have any idea of the temper I had when I was that age?!? If you’d done anything to annoy me, I might have ripped out your skull and used it to smash this whole building into rubble!!! Doofus… I keep telling you not to go off and do dangerous things by yourself, and you ignore me and end up socializing with a powder keg full of tantrum.”

        Dave considering Mindy is a Demi goddess I don’t think that would have happened, probably some other weird stuff would have happened 🙂

    Is she the size of a half ogre or half the size of an ogre?

        I would be interested in knowing which type of ogre as Asian Ogres have a horn which Barbara might not have inherited 🙂

    Barbara was so worried, she forgot how to recite a thesaurus while talking. ;p

    At least Barbara keeps a large nightshirt handy. Castela tends to rip her clothing when she hulks up.
    BTW, this is a most excellent story arc!

      Half ogre

        Can’t be sure yet; currently she’s in a ‘half-ogre’ form.
        I think we can take that to mean she’s half-way to her full-on Ogre manifestation…

      Thought one of the schoolteachers—name slips my mind, and boy there are a lot of names in the cast page now—was an ogre.

        You’re thinking of Cori Phillips, she’s half orc.

      Ogre is better than troll. Trolls give the internet a bad rep. 🤔

    Let’s hope Barb’s dad is Ogre from “Revenge of the Nerds” and not Shrek 😛

    Okay, when did now-Barb know (or remember) what happened to then-Barb?
    Did she know which closet Mindy was in? Or was that just a random lucky find (and how many other closets now have their doors ripped off the hinges?)?

    Barbara’s actually half Ogre? KEWLNESS! (It must be awesome to be a Para)

    I’m so glad that 3-year-olds with adorable accents are alive, and had not suffered some tragic death by abandonment, resulting in a ghost. I dunno if I could’ve dealt.

    I’m surprised Barb remembered. Before, she said she didn’t remember much of that incident.

    No wonder baby Barbara could knock Mindy upside down. She was packing the mass of an ogre in that tiny body.

    Am I the only one to notice Barbara doesn’t have a nose? She must have vomero-nasal sense.

      She’s just one of those para’s who doesn’t have one, in all her depictions so far, she has been nose-less

    By the Gods Below, I hate time stuff. So if this happened in her past, then she knew it was going to happen. But arriving face up in attack mode means she was concerned, implying she didn’t know this was happening. But she knew the little girl was her, so she did know. But her concern shows she didn’t remember the moment, so she didn’t know. Where was I?

      Where were you?

      July 1872, I think.

      Barbara may have put it together on finding Mindy in this particular closet, with the light . . . She also may have had a flashback.

    Seems likely that 3YO Barbara had forgotten what happened soon after she returned to her time, but her parents had to remind her. but when the time overlap suddenly ended by her appearing at the door (about to confront herself) blasted the memory forward in time to the here and now, so she now remembers everything.

    Sounds like time is a meaningless construct (i was able to use the word construct today) and if they’re able to control the ley lady ley lines they can interact with anyone at any moment.

    I had never heard of Ley lines. I’ve learned so much about mythology from Paul
