As the Book worked on Basphomy ... would it work on Bun-Bun?

Wait, I'm low on coffee ... have they stuck a 'normal' into the book yet, implying it works on anything?

I mean, Torg's pants went in there, too. I'll leave any further judgement on that matter to Zoe though.

Would Mr Stiks be considered a demon? Or something like that? I mean, vampires and fey have gone into the book. Pants have gone into the book, but that was a different spell. Stiks is pretty darn evil, so...

I DO wonder what Gwynn's plan is for Basphomy. Basphomy seemed to be coming to warn her and hence aiding her. I also wonder what is "not right" with creepy-head-tilt-dude who just got murdered.

I believe Stiks and probably all of the Halloween creatures fall into the category "monster." There's good reason to believe the Book would work on him. I'm sure Gwynn also has other spells that could handle him, but he's awfully close.

Bun-Bun, as well as all of the Mohkadun gods, were being of flesh and blood stemming from the world, who ended up getting immortality/godhood thanks to Father Time, who also has the same kind of origin, so they might still not for a trip to the book.

That being said, Siphy II, after being changed Farahn, had her nature changed enough to become bookable. So I don't know if Bun-Bun and the gods were changed enough to become so too.

I think Gwynn booked Basphomy as a precaution.

Bas told her that somebody was killing Dunuloa's followers. Gwynn was wondering where Bas was since she was late. Gwynn looks around and finds her skulking in the alley with a fresh corpse being hacked apart.

So she would be wondering if this is really Bas or somebody pretending. She can probably do some checks to see if it is really Basphomy.

Not sure why she was ignoring Stiks when she did that. Should have known that the booking would elicit a response.

TBH, I did wonder about the sudden use of contractions.

I am now very worried for Noogie.

Yeah, I keep waiting for us to get some word that she's okay. Hopefully her recurring character status and her nombie survival means she got through this one too...?

I assume Noogie has been forcibly recruited.

Saveable or not? Who knows.

Hmm...now I'm wondering if Creepy Mullet Guy could be under the the control of an orbital satellite...

But who's controlling the satellite? With Schlock and H-Corp gone, I thought that whole structure had been dismantled.

The Kusari and Oasis satellites are still out there. Who knows what Sasha's been up to since HC fell...

I'd be shocked if Oasis and Kusari get dragged back in so quickly, let alone their satellites being used for someone other than themselves. That opens up a huge new story arc. If anything this points more towards moon goddess and Farahn related things, with a looming immortal king and Strakoi in the shadows.

Pete's already got one massive storyline wide open with enough intersecting points, already. Pretty sure he said he's trying to wrap up the story in a few years, and he's already going pretty slow.

I always considered Oasis and Kusari as "wrapped up". They're just off in the background doing their own unrelated things now.

Sluggy years, or our years?
