The Torg and Aylee side is going as expected. The easily damaged magic circle was damaged as expected and a "great demon" was released upon the world. Hopefully the cupcakes won't poisen them.

So Friday wonders if the Zoe Gwynn side is going just as splendidly. Maybe Gwynn is on fire right now...

Lol. I feel like Allie if anyone would understand Gwynn's actions. Seems like Gwynn also inherited some of her "ways of pride."

Knowing that the bug wanted the spell cast is a good point. He would definitely have had an ulterior motive.

I read "many millennium" and thought that Alligia at least would know that the plural is "millennia". That led to the question of what language they're speaking. English didn't even exist in Alligia's time, and I doubt Gwynn knows enough Latin or Greek to hold a conversation. She certainly doesn't know Etruscan. I have to assume it's some sort of language-independent soul-to-soul communication.

If you're talking to yourself does language even come into play?

Allie Chat.

I see what you did there. :D

Same :D

This was one of my first thoughts. When Allie first encountered Basphomy, she was ready to take her out if needed -- and of course she did "book" her in short order.

I wonder why she's slowly fading throughout this conversation -- and why Gwynn's hair is black at the tips (almost as if it's an inverse of Allie's).

I said this in spec, but I'll say it here:

I am unhappy that Gwynn seems to be ignoring Allie as soon as she has gotten favorable information. She has found out about the clarity spell and has stopped listening fully to Allie. She needs to take time to think, take the time to listen, and to think about the consequences her actions could have. Otherwise, she will dig a deeper hole. For everyone.

This Bug needs to GO, already. Why couldn't he have gone to the moon?

Would that do any good? Gwynn could exile Farahn to the moon because he has no abilities to get back on his own. But the Bug would probably just zip back to Earth if Gwynn managed to send him to the moon.

This is a good question and I'd love some clarity (heh). For example, when Gwynn goes into orbit, she loses her connection to what I'm calling "the magic of Earth". However, Dunuloa and Rana still have some abilities. What is the source of those abilities, and what would PP have?

I'd also love to know how Gwynn KNOWS Riff's mind is unraveling. All she has so far is what the Bug is showing her, and... well, we know how "accurate" that can be.

The fate web was created to restrict his powers so if anything leaving the reach of the web would only empower him. Otherwise they could zap him to another dimension where his powers wouldn't work and there wouldn't have been a moral crisis about whether or not it was the right thing to do.

The DFA does not have a good track record of selecting specific dimensions with specific attributes. Idk what makes you think Riff could do that. Still, yes, it's clear that PP's power is independent of the web since he predates it.

I think the point was that if separation from the planet was the key, then any other dimension would probably have that effect... whereas since it's the web restricting him (or so the mythology says), the result would probably be the opposite.

I think it's more like the DFA is the final endgame weapon, but that gets into a lot of spec. I'm sure Kizke was really interested in picking apart that particular invention, though, "end the multiverse" tech.

Agreed though, she's being played by the bug. Again.

Okay, but we know from 4U City that the web exists in other dimensions, so I don't really see this as a likely result of just any dimension hop.
