Meh.
The point here is that destroying a ghost's Hallow is not automatically murder. However, Jinn's Hallow is Jade, so this would be murder anyway.

On the Griffon thing, I just think that rather then getting her kicked out, and probably driving her to join one of the organizations that actively is trying to remove mutants, arrange for her to get new power armor, funded by people who can make sure she's actually trained properly and has limits on her behaviours. She'd probably hate it, but she'd be less likely to become a possibly dangerous enemy at a later point.
Also, my spell-checker is inexplicably British.

Hm, Gryffon joining H1? I... can kind of see that; after this episode she could delude herself into believing that everything that happened to her was the fault of "that evil mutant scum She-Beast" and do the big heel turn. H1 might even be glad to have a "hero" on their side, especially in a place as mutant-friendly (or at least mutant-tolerant) as New York.

| erikvonhalle wrote on Tue, 08 May 2012 10:12 | The answer to the "no pregnancy rule" is this: Way back in the first stories when Mrs. Horton was showing Team Kimba around Poe (before they were officially Team Kimba) on the First Day at Whately, Mrs. Horton explained that the rule was "No Carnal Relations" between students.
|
The latest Wallflower story has Wallflower and Lancer spending the night in Wallflower's bed, only for them to get caught by Mrs Horton and neither of them got punished.
You get the feeling that the whole "inter-student fraternization is banned" thing is more said for the sake of saying it. They KNOW that keeping so many teenagers with hormones running wild is going to result in the Rite of the Dual Backed Beast occurring.
As for a "no pregnancy" rule, can SOMEONE point out where in any of the stories this is said? Is this like Vox preferring girls despite it not being said in any of the stories? (For those wondering, There was a long-running theory that Vox, despite being bi, preferred girls because guys her age are too impatient. It kept being said, despite it never appearing in the stories, only the fact that Vox sits on top of the fence rather than on one side. Eventually, Diane (the writer with the contolling interest in Vox) confirmed that Vox prefers girls (and Ayla, who isn't a typical guy) because guys her age are too grabby)

Hey, Gryphon should be prime recruitment material for Knights of Purity... If she's competent enough. I don't think she's the best power armor pilot, but she might make the grade to KoP.

Want to bet that Jobe has some of her old sperm lying around? Since the stipulation was that she had to naturally grow a kid using Wilkins DNA, she might use her own and hope that Giz doesn't actually clone her old body, especially if she does it before he gets around to doing so.

Somehow I think that the clone was already coming along as Jobe had still to place foot in NY.

There was a comment in some other story about the fact that Gizmatic has come back from the dead on at least a couple of occasions. That and the comment about backups implies that it's SOP for at least the main family members to have ready to go clones.
I was thinking that maybe we have some sort of Venture Brothers scenario going on where there are several clones, likely in different locations already grown. The trouble with growing clones quickly was a plot point in the original Belphebe story,and the maybe solution to it just invented, so very likely the clones were matured at only slightly more than human normal, and kept a blank slate till they are needed and decanted.
Possible that the Backup is actually the clone/s themselves instead of some device. They download memories into the clones on a regular scedule.

She wouldn't study it at Whateley - she'd probably study it at Miskatonic University (mentioned here among other places, and a further nod to the Mythos-Lite setting of Whateley), which, given its location, is almost certainly mutant-friendly.

| thtiger wrote on Sun, 06 May 2012 14:41 | Backup Jobe, if that is the case, offers interesting plot devices. We tend to think of Jobe as a steady state character, constant in his behavior and outlooks, but I doubt that is truly the case. I think he/she has evolved slightly as a person, and being turned into a Drow, and having sex, has got to have altered her pretty fundamentally.
So if this backup shows up, he's going to be the Jobe from the last time a backup was made, and is going to be a snapshot of a younger, much less savy Jobe. With double the arrogance, hard as that might be to picture.
Also can't help but wonder how Jobe, the drow, is going to react to interacting with this version of herself. I can just see her complaining to her father that something had to have gone wrong with the process, as this thing is obviously defective and more than slightly disfunctional mentally.
|
Why wouldn't Jobette infect herself with the male Drow serum thereby transforming herself into himself and then infecting the new jobe with the jobette serum and still end up marrying himself?

The question has just come to me, will Gizdad tell the clone that he is a clone? Is Jobe 1.0 really 1.0 or is he maybe already 1.2? Is Jobe actually Jobe at all? Or is he maybe a clone of Gizdad but without the imprint?
Inquiring minds want to know!
