So do tools bind to a single person?

That would appear to be the case, yes. I think it's a contract of sorts.

This is a random aside, but I've been speculating for a while now that Dimitri's totally a spectral. I have little to no evidence to back this up, but I'm sticking with it :colbert:

Sweet vindication.

There's also been other hints to more spectrals being around that I noticed while re-reading some stuff this morning: On this page Isaac implies someone else started seeing spirits and snapped.

If you'll look at the image that says Paranatural by Zach Morrison at the top, you can see Spender's shades chilling with Max's bat, Izzy's book, and Ed's brush. It also looks like Spender controls both black and white spectral energy, if I'm reading that page right.

His energy is yellow.

Everyone in this thread is talking about Johnny getting a tool, but when was it mentioned that he's a spectral and/or could see ghosts and spirits? Did I miss something?

Anyway this comic rules. Almost every page gets a smile out of me because of some ridiculous facial expression.

He's not a spectral, I think speculation is people taking a joke by Zack out of proportion.

It's almost kind of jarring to me that we've jumped time a bit, even if it's just later in the day. Everything else in the comic to this point has been over the course of a little more than a day. Not that this is a bad thing or anything, just a note I'm making.

My hair-related beef is that Isaac's hairline used to be jagged like hair should be and now it's a straight line and it bothers me way more than it should

Looking at the first panel again, who are those people in the convenience store? Is the activity club doing a sleepover, or maybe some investigative "journalism"?

Convenience stores often find themselves occupied by "customers", who have come to purchase wares.

E: I wish I had gif-making skills, I would make an av that scrolled across Isaac's super-stylistic pose in the second-to-last panel over to Max looking dubious as gently caress.

No, you should make an avatar of Isaac with credits scrolling past.

Wait. Now I'm confused.

"Since your spirit is out of your tool, didn't you just lose your powers?" "Yeah, for now, no big, Eightfold only takes a few days to recover" then "Gonna need your powers for whatever Spender wants us to do after school".

Doesn't the first exchange mean it'd take her a few days for Eightfold to give her her powers again? Or something?

No, when you have a tool you get the powers regardless. The spirit's recovery only applies to the spirit.

It might be. It's one frame at a time and I only just mainlined it yesterday while scoping out Zach's competition.

It's updated with several panels at once weekly (not now because it's on break). It was twice weekly for a few months recently, too.

Ava's Demon is awful because it tries to have a homestuck-level of plot complexity and cast size from the very beginning of the story. It just dumps loads of characters and conspiracies on you without giving you any reason to give a poo poo.

OTOH it's pretty as heck.
