If you are going to make fun of someone for simplifying a thing to make themselves seem clever, you might as well simplify what you're criticizing so you can seem clever.

So, there's been a thing where Mary exposited that there was a "secret bitch" (sic) in the midsts and the entire Discord Server is kinda in agreement that Cass is both her (regardless of who the secret bitch actauly is) and an idiot.

Cass clearly does not have much emotional intelligence, but given that they’re all fighting horrifying monsters every evening I can understand her points of reference being really hosed up.

Plus she probably experiences death almost nightly?? I would not expect her powers to make her more reasonable.

Hopefully Undine mentions Goopy, I guess?

Maybe it did but I never picked up on it. Any examples?

It looks like it's either that or there was just some sort of fast forward though time, and the first option "it's been like this all along" seems most likely given the text.

I hope Udine doesn't even fight Cassidy, she just comes right out and lays it all down and then Cassidy will hopefully be like "Oh... holy poo poo." Also hopefully realizing that people with severe PTSD aren't always rational actors.

I guess I had completely forgotten about this, huh! Maybe because it's something that has barely been brought up and hasn't really had anything to do with the story so far.

Honestly I feel like even if she lays it all out, or at least hte broad strokes since I think Undine is hesitant to mention goop, Cass would still not be satisfied. She decided the best way to confront Undine is alone, in a fight and the way she's worded all this has an air of "what did you do". Like the other guy mentioned her power is kind of....unnerving to use, at best, & the whole magical girl situation is messed up in general so she probably has her own issues that she's projecting and honestly would anyone be surprised at a dose of tragic backstory that SHE'S not sharing that's giving her a bigger chip on her shoulder?

That said I think Undine is definitely going to lose her cool because this is a major trigger for her and wouldn't be surprised if she throws out some barbs that get Cassidy going because Undine doesnt know anything about her either. Gonna be a bad scene for a bit, is what I'm saying.

I think in one of the chase scenes, the protagonist knocks over someone carrying a rare ancient artifact and it's literally a flashlight and two D batteries.

I kinda hope 'dine tells her to gently caress off and not even give her the satisfaction of a fight.
Granted the whole clone thing basicaly is a set up for Undine to snap and give Cassidy a swift kick in The Cheat (via Laser strength water pressure) without immediate consequence so that's probably what's gonna go down.

Edit: Oh and Mary's gone on record about Cassidy being the secret bitch, so :ms: there.

Daughter of the Lilies is neat, just started reading it since you started talking about it and saw this background bit of relics of a bygone age so I guess the post-post-etc. was set up early.

Daughter of Lillies is the one with the hooded/masked female character and it seemed like they were going to go for some really cool "she's full on Be Ye Not Afraid angel" thing, right? And in the end it was just more fantasy racism.

I mean that might not be mutually exclusive. Yeah it's fantasy racism why she covers her face but I think she's got some sort of religious significance.

I remember the reaction to this one, but could not remember the comic or any of the details. So I decided to go back through the archive and find it, despite my brain clearly wiping it from my memory to protect me. So, again:

It could have been "one guard only answers questions with lies, the other only answers questions with the truth." Considering you're usually having the riddle explained to you by a third party I think there's some leeway in explaining the rules necessary when you encounter it in the wild.

I think traditionally you'd have a plaque or something explaining the rules of the scenario, if you do it as a dungeon encounter. Though yeah, your way works too.
