@Phyko9 @elgoonishshive Well now my confusion confuses me too. I could have sworn I recalled some chagrin on their part after being ka-zapped. I concede that my memory is a fraud.

@elgoonishshive COP (looks up) "--Oh my God! That old lady, and your friend! They're gone! They must have fallen off the roof!" (fumbles for radio)

TEDD: "N-No, I think they just-- they--" (realizes there is no way they could have left unnoticed; feigns a massive charley horse as a distraction)

[Damanoid Trapezoid @DamanoidT]

@elgoonishshive To onlookers, Tedd's apparently giving himself a roadside DUI test. Grace is terrorizing old lady Potestas. The cop has been distracted by a light in the sky. Could it be the approaching mothership, has the Arrival finally begun? (It is Venus.)

@elgoonishshive Even in times of dire peril, Mist still takes time to have fun at the expense of others.

"Feeling uncertain? Signal me by flapping your arms. Need me to repeat myself? Put your thumb in your ear. Are you suspicious? Twirl around! You look suspicious, but you're not twirling."

@elgoonishshive Serena is so focused at her job that her nickname is "The Answering Machine."

[Damanoid Trapezoid @DamanoidT]

@elgoonishshive "Her parents are ornithologists. All her siblings were named after different types of bird."
"So she's named after a bird."
"Yes, sir."
"What type of bird is she named after?"
"The bulbul."
"The what?"
"The bulbul."
"What on earth is a bulbul?"
"It is a type of bird, sir."

@Minifig3D @elgoonishshive "...BERNADETTE!
YOU'RE THE SOUL IN ME!
MORE THAN A DREAM!"

"-Yes, this is why she prefers the nickname. Roughly 35% of people have this response, we're not sure why-- Sir, please come down from the desk."

"AND BERNADETTE! YOU MEAN MORE TO ME
THAN WOMAN WAS EVER MEANT TO BE!..."

@elgoonishshive This seems like an odd reversal after: "Sometimes things need doing and no one else is available." Arthur's confusion is valid. Suddenly risk is a concern, after a freely chosen monster hunt. Was she given field agent training? Arthur can't afford a loose cannon monster hunter.

@elgoonishshive "I was DEEPLY outraged that the sewer clown mistook me for one of their kind due to my hairstyle. I should probably get a new, simpler look."

ALTERNATELY:

"I feel like I'll never get that clown ichor out of my hair. This is the perfect time for a new, simpler hairstyle."

@elgoonishshive Oh pshaw, these sorts of conversations happen all the time at Waffle Residence. Enjoy your Hawaiian Waffle Supreme while casually discussing your demonic powers; no one will care. In the next booth over, a trucker is loudly warning about the Silicon Aliens from the Hollow Earth.

@elgoonishshive Paranormal Investigations is in the deepest, murkiest depths of the FBI phone tree, so it actually took a lot of perseverance for these kids to get through.

[Damanoid Trapezoid @DamanoidT]

@elgoonishshive A problem here is that Diane has already been accepted into the group. So if Rhoda decides the group is a bad risk, she has to either:
1. limit her friendship with Diane to "safe" interactions,
2. persuade Diane to leave the group, or:
3. Abandon her friendship with Diane.

[Damanoid Trapezoid @DamanoidT]

@elgoonishshive Rhoda's parents must be going nuts wondering where their daughter went. "Where's our sweet shy girl? Who is this calm, assertive stranger? This is like that TV show about UFO abductions, doppelgangers and such!" They're going to suss out her secret purely by pop culture tropes.

@elgoonishshive Catalina also tagged along, but she got distracted chasing pigeons and somehow fell into the restaurant's waste cooking grease bin.

@elgoonishshive True love is just an effect of powerful fairy moms.

[Damanoid Trapezoid @DamanoidT]

@elgoonishshive Yeah, I always wait till the end of the credits. There might be bonus scenes, you never know.

@elgoonishshive Meanwhile Elliot is watching a bug. Ellen may be far superior in every discernible way, but Elliot is the champion bug watcher. Mainly because Ellen doesn't watch bugs. She used to, in her parallel life, but after winning six or seven championships she moved on to other pursuits.

@elgoonishshive TEDD: "Hm! I wonder if my magic TF tech would have any effect on a maid, which is also magic tech?"

(LATER)

"Dad, could you use your shadow government connections to create a false identity for a human woman who was a magical construct until about twenty minutes ago?"
