Sometimes it’s not about winning, it’s the cost of winning. While I’m not sure either would be able to outright do each other in, there’d be a lot of damage on both ends I bet
I wonder about the damage to the wall. Is the Gilchrist family responsible for it? Or since it’s a para only school, does it come out of the maintenance budget as regular wear and tear?
Or is the school building self-repairing like the library?
Even the smartest people in the world need some time to think a new idea through. Pickle has just had a pretty new experience this morning. Given enough time, she probably could have figured out on her own that telling her peer group all about it in detail was a bad idea with bad consequences… Just didn’t reach those conclusions fast enough. 😛
Ooh, Atsali is pissed off…
*hides*
Just a friendly sisterly piece of advice…
I love Daylia’s reaction.
Did we get backstory on Daylia that I missed? Who/what is she?
No back-story so far, I think. She’s an occasionally-ferocious mystery.
She was the friend sleeping over with Castela while Nadette and Atsali were also having a sleepover … and watching a scary movie.
At the Emergency Room the four of them voted it the Best. Sleepover. EVER,
She’s popped up on occasion. She’s another plant based para.
Dayla is not plant, she’s literally METAL❗
The question is, could Atsali actually endanger Castela’s health?
I guess she can’t hurt Castela, but she can scare the crap out of the other three.
Guessing not even Stela wants to find out
No, not really.
But it’s the dynamic that’s important, not necessarily the reality.
probably not worth the risk of finding out. I think Castella would win in the end. But I don’t think she’s invulnerable.
Yeah, when someone blasts you up against the wall, your tendency would be to placate them, not test them. Ask Nudge.
Come to think of it, is Castela dangerous to demons? Because Atsali is at least half demon, if not two kinds of demon.
I’d hesitate to classify a Wapsiverse succubus as a demon, since Wapsiverse demons are such peculiarly specific things.
True. Succubus equals demon is from Christianity.
Only so they could explain pregnant nuns: demons did it! instead of the randy priest who pays special attention to the pretty nuns after lights out
I’d wager Castela is potentially dangerous to =any= non-immortal para, given she was originally intended as a weapon against them…

I agree.
After all, any bear can kill a wolverine, but you’d have to look pretty long to find a bear that would try…
… except a mama bear
Atsali’s been studying with Aunt Monica…
More like Aunt Jin…Atsali did pick her as a mentor and M doesn’t often hint at things, especially when mad 🙂
No, that’s Monica’s “Just-Before-I-Turn-100%-Jaguar-Girl-And-Rip-Your-Face-Off” face.
Actually, looking back two years later – i’d say she’s getting tips from Tanta Phix…
I notice that, no matter what kind of violence is going on in the hall, the teachers never step in. Probably because they like living.
I figure that the standards for “acceptable roughhousing” is different when the “victim” is functionally invulnerable.
I don’t think they have predPara teachers strong enough in this case.
In this case it would be an emergency call to Mama or Aunt Shelly (probably the most powerful Sphinx in history)
I wonder about the damage to the wall. Is the Gilchrist family responsible for it? Or since it’s a para only school, does it come out of the maintenance budget as regular wear and tear?
Or is the school building self-repairing like the library?
Or maybe Nadette’s mom has a contract with the school to repair all para-caused damage?
Wonder how fights between other students turn out…
They do intervene, once a teacher warned a student for running…. well, she made her yell “caution! predator coming through!”.
Anyone find it interesting that when astalli is amorous her siren side comes out but when her temper snaps is when the infernal side comes out?
Better than the alternative, no? Can you imagine trying to lick a hoof? o_O
…could work, depends on which style of hoof she has! The center section of a horse’s hoof is very sensitive.
The infernal sides popped up plenty when she was amorous too..
But in those cases it’s not her feet but her tail 😏
I could see this degenerate into them shouting out embarrassing secrets:
“Castela Gilchrist likes Timothy!”
“Atsali Gilchrist stuffs her bra!”
Breaking a real fight up would require a totally indestructible being like Bud or Brandi.
Ha. Atsali’s tail is still out so that won’t at ALL corroborate anything they *thought* they heard Castela say…
I love Daylla’s reaction…
Is that zipper a comic metaphor or a ‘real’ thing? Hard to tell with paras.
If it is the real thing, or just a simulation, it means Daylla is into physical comedy. I like her.
Atsali may be naïve as hell, but she’s NOT stupid!
Hmm, where did Timmeh go in panel one? Did Sali knocked him over?
He may have had the wherewithall to duck.
Actually, we have seen this before. The girls have had privacy issues in the past, but they never left the house.
Until now.
I SEE no Sexy, i HEAR no Sexy, i SPEAK no Sexy…. i have NO fun…
You gotta wonder what the structural repair budget is for this school.
I sincerely hope it is self healing like the Library!
Anyone else thinking Castela is modeling her ‘norm’ self after Atsali? They’re looking awfully alike 🙂
I keep coming back to this page to look at the second panel.
Bahahaha! I love the zipper!
I saw that too! 😆
