Roland Jones posted:That's also why her eyes are glowing white in the previous panels, but not the leafy one. Tangent, "Patchworm" seems to be the name of the spirit possessing her. (Well, it could be a tool, but given the glowing orange eyes I'm assuming possession.)

Splicer posted:Spender's eyes glowed while Lucifer was spirit timing him. The glowing eyes is an indicator of spirit time, whether by tool or by possession. I think you misunderstood me; I know the glowing white eyes are spirit time stuff and outright stated that being in spirit time is why her eyes were white in those panels, but she also has glowing orange eyes all the time. That is, presumably, not a normal human feature in the Paranatural-universe, so she's almost definitely possessed.

Cryophage posted:So she swapped her hand-skin for the skin around Izzy's bite, and then swapped that skin in turn with the fabric of that operating table so as to do ghost-surgery on it? Yeah, I'd assumed she was operating on some random spirit, just so we could see her gimmick. I hadn't connected the page to Isabel at all. I'd also assumed that Patchworm is the duffel bag, but re-reading the page, that's clearly wrong. Cat Mattress posted:I'm intrigued by the plant background in panel 4. In all other panels, the room is utterly devoid of stuff like that. So, spirit world shenanigans? Also, the lamps are still there, but turned off. Definitely. I wonder if there's any significance to the lights being off in her spirit world?

Urban Dictionary has a good enough description.quote:Chuunibyou It's that ridiculously embarrassing (for the person, afterwards) or annoying (for everyone else) point where someone in their early teens is trying to figure out who they are, and they settle on something they think is 'cool' but is completely unrealistic to how people usually act.

Back to the doctor lady's eye color, I always thought she looked kinda... snake like? And that's why her eyes were yellow/orange at rest.

http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-109 Jeeze, Zarei is serious business. She's employing (and therefore maintaining with her spirit energy) how many spirits? One of which, the train, was huge.

She does feed spirit energy to the train, but it's not much of a color match so it's slow. Presumably with enough color-mismatching you could feed a good number of spirits with no major drain.

Now she is but the train was working with her at full strength and was not in a tool.

This has already been explained; she's tamed the spirits like one would animals. They're not tools or possessing her (Patchworm aside), so they presumably aren't feeding off of her either, they're like the things we've seen the team fight or Forge pre-Spender, they just listen to her. How she's managed this we haven't seen yet, but it does make her rather special, just not in the way that's been stated here.

In panel 6 you can see a suitcase stuffed with clothes and other stuff. Bed on the floor too, even though the house is big enough to have a second floor. I wonder if she's new to town or something.

it's the other way around. spirit world is the foresty bits zarei is not new in town, but she doesn't live there either. she's been to mayview before multiple times and probably lived there while she was isabel's grandfather's student (i can't remember their last name exactly. guer something)

Yeah, last panel is spirit world. Also she might be in a basement, rather than the first floor of a two-story home.

Alright I did some looking because shut up: in Zarei's introduction, she says she's here on a visit (here presumably being Mayview) and also calls it the boonies and that she's not sure whose in charge there. Probably she's mostly joking, though. Later on, one of the other agents(?) she was with says he was only supposed to be there for a week, but that's weak evidence. Finally, on this page Granps says the only reason she'd be making housecalls is due to being trapped, but also that he knew her earlier. (the page before that one was pretty great too, fyi) So, presumably, the idea is that Zarei is probably originally from Mayview, but became an important ghost doctor and moved away or is always busy and travelling. She may or may not make many visits back using the train, or maybe that's a new development? She's got enough connections to be able to find a couch to crash on/use as a workspace, but doesn't have a permanent residence of her own. Alternatively, that is her house, but she spends so much time being a ghost doctor/traveling that she finds it more convenient to set up a makeshift bed and leave her clothes in her workspace rather than go upstairs. Or maybe she has a crippling fear of stairs? I put way too much effort into this.

Splicer posted:Betting it's Spender's basement. This would also be my guess, though on another evaluation her workspace is surprisingly comprehensive and laid-out, right down to stocked medicine cabinets above the desk; maybe she maintains a small space there for crashing and working when she comes to town?

New page: http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-110 All the adults in this comic are completely hosed in the head, but at least quite a few of the spirits are decent.
