    • I was rereading the intro to Whateley stories the other day and when I got to the part where Angel's father's HOLY GHOST group tried to snatch her I had to go "Huh?" If he was hell bent on 'correcting' her, why did he send her to school in the first place? Are her parents separated and Angel is in the custody of her mother? Still doesn't explain why the snatch wasn't made earlier then two to three days after she's at school.

    Meh, they had a teleporter and a Don't Look at Me! guy, so while the school's wards would have set off alarms at their breaching Security likely had no idea where they where headed until they kicked in Poe's door.

    • As we move into year two of the G1 timeline, you'll see that Whateley hasn't been as secure as it thought itself to be. Lots of flaws in the warding and patrol system of the 'Dream Team'. There are some very secure locations in both the Magickal Arts building, the Psychic Arts building, the Library, and a few other locations... but most of the rest of campus? Covered better than the average home or public building? yes. But considering the opposition drawn to the school? Not nearly adequate.

    In G2 though? Different story entirely. Lessons were learned. The wards at the gates/wall layer are so powerful and run so deeply into interdimensional space that they're actually visible to baseline/normals under certain conditions. And then there's the Aversion field, each building is now warded independently, as are a number of rooms on each floor in each cottage. There are some places on campus in 2016 that are so well warded that stepping inside them suspends several laws of physics.

    • -nods- Thanks Kristin regarding the security set up.

    But I still don't get why if her father was gonna put her through his program to forcibly 'correct' her, Angel was allowed out of his clutches.

    I would imagine she wasn't anywhere he could find or reach prior to arriving at school... that was the first time he "knew" where she'd be since whatever discoveries or revelations he'd gotten regarding her orientation.

    Have we had any indication that there was allowing involved? She certainly would not be the first student at Whateley to have escaped from somebody who was holding them against their will.

    • I think this was discussed way, way back in the old forums. Main theory was that Angel's parents were estranged, and fighting for custody. Kidnapping her from her mother's custody would be pretty much shooting his own foot, divorce-wise.

    I know it happens, but it strikes me as this Uber-Christian her father wouldn't allow for the seperation to happen unless Angel and her Mom lit out of there with no word. Which i think si the explanation I will use in my fics.

    • While not related to the Holy G.H.O.S.T., Angel, Quickie/Go Go, and Jade have an interesting conversation that makes me wonder about what year they actually are.

    Jade 2 wrote: Jade nodded. “All of a sudden, there’s two of me. Actually, I think I’m a little more self-confident as Jinn. But one second it’s just me, the next second, I’m both of me standing next to the other me. Later on we join back up, and we’re just plain me again, but I remember both of us.”

    Juanita rubbed her head. “Too much of that and you’ll give me a headache.”

    “Well, that’s part of the reason I came up here. See, I think I’d like to take double classes, if I can.”

    “That’s it! Full-blown headache!”

    “I’m just not sure if they’ll let me, or how to arrange it, or anything.”

    “Hmm, you know, I might have an angle on this,” Angel said. "You remember two years ago, when that Twain kid tried to enroll the robot he’d built?"

    “Yeah, but that was a fake.”

    “Sure, but they didn’t know it at the time. You could use the same arguments here.”

    “I don’t know. Won’t they want to charge double tuition?”

    “Not if she’s on a scholarship. Almost half the student body is.”

    Jade nodded.

    “Okay,” Angel decided. “First I’d run the plan by Zenith. She was a T-girl like you, Jade, but she had the good taste to go lesbian. I think she got fourth floor this year, but I haven’t seen her yet. She should get in sometime over the next two days.”


    If Angel and Go Go are talking about something that happened two years ago, shouldn't they be Juniors, not Sophomores?

    • Not if it was something they heard about, rather then something they witnessed, and let's be honest, enrolling a 'robot' would be something that keeps getting talked about.

    • If they started as Freshman... yeah.

    NOT stating that they started earlier... but they could have. Or been told about it happening before they arrived and using remember in the way a person would prod the other to recall it with them.
