So what I'm reading is that we're heading to yet another Spender massive gently caress up that puts the kids at risk because he is bad.

Nah, we already did that, and I don't see Zack dragging out making GBS threads all over Spender. I think he's going to take Lucifer's advice and actually talk to... the train-doctor lady who's name escapes me. Regardless, she seems pretty alright with keep things on the DL behind Isabella's grandpappy's back so she's the perfect person to finish Spender's overdue scolding and help him make actual progress towards his goal.

Mostly I just don't want Spender to continue getting dumped on constantly.

I will have Johnny give you a goddamn punch in the face. You take that back.

Ed just feels really guilty ditching Izzy when grandpa went to scold her and considering that Izzy is his only friend, of course he's gonna be insecure when the new kid is basically having Izzy's attention. Granted a little silly but eh he's a kid.

Now that I think about it I wonder how many days Max has been here now. :v:

Funnily enough I actually did some counting on this earlier today.

Chapter 1 covered the first two days, although the second was significantly longer than the first in that chapter.
Chapter 2 basically covered the entirety of the second night, no not much progression there.
And then chapters 3, 4, and 5 all cover their respective days, so that would mean it's the fifth day.

This also means that it is either Friday or Thursday in comic time, since the first day could either have been Monday or Sunday (Travelling on a weekend would make more sense, but it could've still totally been a Monday since by the time they got there it was already in the evening. I dont think it could be any other day, since there is no way that Zack would avoid covering something so major in the life of any school going preteen as the WEEKEND!).

How does exercise work in spirit-time, anyway? We saw from when Isaac demonstrated it to Max that you can move very fast in that time. Guess you could use it to do all kinds of stuff with your "extra time" per day, assuming it's not overly restricted in some way.

Actually, since they can move fast, can that be used for fighting? I'm trying to remember if anyone moved out of the way of an attack using the spirit time thing. And if you could, what if two spectrals are in spirit time at the same time near each other? Is it one continuous spirit world, or would they each be in their own yet be moving at regular speed relative to each other?

Oh, and in case we'd forgotten, this update's here to remind us these kids are in middle school. Incredible magic powers, angst about friendship status.

Edit: Just remembered and checked that Max kind of used spirit time while fighting the frog, when it was about to crush his head and he was able to dodge it because Scrapdragon popped in briefly.

Spender used spirit time briefly against Forge, only for Lucifer to be like 'speed isn't going to do poo poo for you right now, idiot!' because he was failing to do any actual damage.

He then went into spirit time again and Lucifer was like 'didn't I already go over this, idiot?' and he was like 'nah just wanted to spirit up to have LIGHT BEAMS TO SHOOT'.

Ah right, I'd forgotten about some of spirit time's previous appearances. The speed stuff seems like a pretty big advantage if spirits don't have any counter.

Are the kids trapped? Assuming they get the train back, they seemed free to come and go from the dome, it's just that Mayview is where the kids and their families/fellow spectrals live and work. Presumably if nothing unexpected happens to interrupt them, they'd grow up and go off on missions like the other agents.
