I'm gonna guess that's related to the people who are stalking the moon followers.

Unless we have multiple groups of stalkers for typical-Pete misdirection.

Also, Torg is DEFINITELY going to fold Gwynn into a paper plane at some point.

I would go so far as to say it's going to be a necessity, and Gwynn will actually see the need for it, a la Gimli's "toss me".

Something I thought of before...
So, I didn't SEE this happen...but I was curious if any flies got transported with Gwynn when she "poofed" away. Not sure if it's just an area of effect, or if it's what/who she focuses on. If it's area of effect, then surely some flies were in that area. I didn't see any in Torg and Zoe's house, though, so I figured none got pulled over. But what if a few did. They could have hidden themselves somehow, and been following Gwynn around?
I know, really long shot. Just putting it out there. I dunno.

It just seems crazy that Mouche would have caught up to Gwynn after just one night, even IF she decided to ditch the mirror and go after her first. I am not sure where Torg/Zoe's house is, but I figured it was several states away from the pier in New Orleans. Their house is close enough to the Oceanus Bed and Breakfast that Meander could walk home from it, and that was on the coast somewhere...I get the impression that is near New Jersey or north of that, like Maine. And if Mouche could travel that fast, how does she know where Gwynn IS? I suppose she just homes in on the crystal ball?
Again, I really hope she doesn't know about the Demon Funnel in the back room and Gwynn can trap her like she did Lacey/Aylee.

Speaking of the demon funnel though. Where's Lacey? Is she in it? Then again doing what Gwynn did with the Mushroom Hag requires sacrifice of other demons. Maybe Lacey's dead? Either way, not sure if the funnel can trap fae (although I guess the fact that Gwynn was able to kill the Mushroom hag suggests it can) and even if it could would it fully work with Mouche, who is basically a hivemind of flies? Sure you might catch her main body, but there would inevitably be lots of straggler flies that didn't enter the funnel. Would she lose control of them?

I'm guessing Mouche just attracts and commands the flies, and has no body of her own -- so even if some flies got out of the funnel, they would just go on their way.

Last time we saw Lacey, she was in one of those containment jars, so there must be a way to get her out of the funnel (perhaps using the in/out spells).

Lacy has been in a Glass Cage in Gwynn's room for in the Antiquarium for a while.

Extracting information from a demon requires that demon, and the sacrifice of another demon. So yeah, two demons get destroyed. Not sure who she used.

And regarding the funnel....DUH! I am so dumb...I completely forgot about the Book of Ughlee. She grabbed it from Zoe, so of course she would have use of that.

I spec that within the next two strips or will summon the pants out of the Book of Ghüd
(and obviously there will be an emergency pants reference)

There are pants in the Book of Ghud? Do we even know where the Book of Ghud is? Isn't it still in the Cafe of Yffi?

I know that Torg can put his pants in and out of the Book of Ughlee, but he didn't leave them in there. Last we saw, he got them back after the Mushroom Hag incident.

Yay for the return of strategically-placed emergency pants!

It occurs to me that if they keep the Book of Uhglee reasonably clear, it would be a feasible way to deal with the Strakoi. Of course they'd have to hit them by surprise, which isn't easy when you have all those magic eyes around...

Foiled by mundane emergency pants!

Also foiled by the Book of Ghud not holding anything within it other than images that bring serenity.

That's right, I messed up the books. Just remembered that recieved a new book and became the Book of E-ville. But that was Ughlee. Too Bahd...

Güd.

Bhad.

Uhglëë.

I wonder whether Yffi has retrieved the other book(s) yet.

Yffi definitely has the Book of Bhad. It's part of his plan. It's unclear whether he cares about the other books.
