Whereas I think she's someone else
I just hadn't considered that she'd gone the route mentioned, even though it makes more tactical sense in hindsight. Forum-posted ideas are freely adoptable.

True, I forgot to check the time frames.elrodw wrote: Do we know that she's Danny's first?
In the scene with Kayda and Mrs. Horton, when Danny was hung over after some time with Shine after Coyote messed with him - in September - he was asked if he had gotten laid, to which he blushed. So at that time, he'd already been doing horizontal pushups.
And the way the witch was thinking, that he didn't seem like a boy losing his virginity, is another pretty explicit clue.
Still, he hadn't been as clumsy as she had thought a boy losing his virginity would be, or as emotionally fixated, but that would come with time.
The way I read this line was that The Witch thinks she's Danny's first. Danny was better than she expected for a virgin. But she still expects her own experience in seducing men to control him the way she'd done with others.
Is it that The Witch's plan to wrap him around her finger going to backfire because Danny has a harem, and can also have a reverse harem...?
edit:
But The Witch settled in on an appearance before her plan shifted to using Danny. The sympathetic cat girl might be too much of a coincidence. My desserts and entrees are still on Fairy Girl.

Not unless Semiramis Vesmarran changed her name. I heard she's got an eye on "Nesmith" for a potential surname.

By using precog powers unique to readers, namely reading stories having already reached that point, I can see many, many disappointments in the future of the most enthusiastics gamblers. Unless Morpehus made a point of avoiding the action for the sake of No Spoil.Conversations began to speculate over what would happen for Halloween this year, with wide eyed freshman being regaled of the battle that had taken place the year previously.
JG does have some Outcast Corner action paused for Parents Day, but with Original Evil ready to erupt it might be helpful to have some of the other characters' physical and mental places marked on the stage. Conversely, if the Rejects are scheduled to pull some major jerkassery with Danny, that's less likely to involve Absinthe (former target) and more likely to involve Eldritch.
So, not so much of a No Spoil as Not Appearing In Those Scenes. For an example of the latter, I have a WhatIF story that's obviously set on Parents Day and introduces an Ojibwe shaman. That doesn't make it logical for her to get involved in a fight with the Shaman-Killer. If anything, she would have been informed by of the potential threat by her totem and asked (by Whateley Admin, Whateley Security, some spirits, and maybe even passers-by) to please reign in her son's enthusiasm.

Think about it. Girls and women compare notes. A freshman girl is his best chance to meet someone on-campus who might not have been warned about him yet.
One very small point in his favor is that exemplar girls tend to grow up real big real fast.

No, but their team leader is, by default, on the Alpha Council and Ironknife did start the year at the intersection of Senior and Acceptable, outside the union of "Not Me!" and "Hell no".

This is Stormwolf, not Iron Star
but I can't recall him ever not being shown as a (Lawful Stupid, ESTJ) judgemental prick. Exemplar-7 means he can survive continuing to be one. On the other hand, it's been mentioned that shifters are widely seen as furry deviants, thus somehow deserving of abuse.Hardric wrote:
What he said, seconded so hard.Are you upset somebody is taking issue with the amount of homophobia on this campus? Because I'm missing the problem here, Adam.
Not that Cody's been very active on that front in his first three and a half years, but that's the downside of "live and let live" (and having been in a subordinate position to some Scary Bitches)
If I were in your place, honestly, I'd do everything I could to make homophobia the most lame, has been, so last century thing on campus.
Unlike many of his peers, it looks like he learned what Freya was willing to demonstrate.

I was thinking about other girls having curfews problems for staying too long in Poe, something Sahar must definitely have done at least some times. Disadvantage of quoting a whole paragraph.null0trooper wrote:

I know that's Ironknife. Yeah, Stormdork would have been better. And that attitude about shifters is another thing he needs to change about him, like, yesterday, and another thing to deal with in general... Heck, except Mindbird, how many Betas with more than three lines have ever been cast in a positive light.This is Stormwolf, not Iron Star

I don't have anything to back this up, but what if the tree in question was previously used as the hiding place for a certain talisman that Nimbus used to influence his catspaw in The Riddle of Sapho?
... Did that do bad things to the tree spirit? ... If so, then what?----
Hmm... So, when is The Witch gonna have some sorta confrontation with Tansy, as she's sorta Danny's protector? Or did she leave that role?
... Random thought, Peeper's special sight is gonna go wonky and reveal the Mythos on campus or something. ... Is he gonna find Sara's paper??

Ametros wrote: On the subject of TWFKAH... I'd think that she would avoid the likes of Miki and Amelie, purely on the basis that maintaining even a partial language/social barrier (accents and fluency, mainly) would be additional effort with the potential to trip her up. Even if magic could cover those bases, in itself it would also be a factor to potentially blow her cover.
So I doubt it's either of them - Amelie especially due to Adalie's presence.
Keep in mind, the Witch was a Greek National, so multiple languages are not a new thing to her. Not that that has anything to do with anything...
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

That detail didn't escape my grasp, but her multilingual fluency is one of the factors why I think she likely isn't Miki with her not-entirely-fluent English.
Seriously, thank you for your time and effort. It is appreciated.

That's a good point. No matter how fluent, it's far harder for a non-native speaker to replicate a different accent convincingly than for a native.Ametros wrote:

I mean, Kallista would probably be able to replicate a Japanese accent in her native Greek. But to replicate a Japanese accent in English, without mixing her own Greek accent in it? MUCH harder for anybody who's not a Siren.
Even in writing it's hard. I'm rather fluent in (written) English if I may say so myself, and I have seen so many Funektic Aksents over the years that I can usually recognize a few of them... but writing say, a Russian accent? That's an entirely different matter.
