    Will they be discussing the minimum size and/or age of the spirits to not be required to release it? Perhaps the per-person quota? Maybe they'll flesh out any limitations on technology involved so as to maintain a sustainable spiritual ecology?


    Will there be a special license required... issued by State or Federal Government... or perhaps another sort of governing body?


    If you remember back to Jade 4 and 5, Tansy captured Jinn, and then Jade and Mongoose spent time training Jinn to defend herself from poaching Avatars. Jade/Jinn and Mongoose probably have the most practical knowledge on how Avatars and Spirits work in world..

    Sounds like the name of a Bond girl.

  • Well.... there are a few routes you could go. Wihinape would probably suggest the Lakota translation of the word 'Kitten'. Similarly, It was hinted that Danny may have a D or a G on his MID (Are we going to see the Sioux Falls League drag him through his powers testing?). As such, a name like nekotech might fit the bill. We haven't seen much of his powers beyond the fact he's an avatar, so it's hard to come up with a name that fits his skills.

    Only if gender wasn't a fundamental part of her, but she represents female grace, so she can't, other mountain lion spirits wouldn't be as powerful

    That would make people think of a very effeminate male winged lizard or an effeminate male genie.... his codename will probably be somewhat gender neutral, we don't know what non-avatar powers he has but I doubt that he's a gadgeteer, and based on lack of creative impulses in learning to hunt, devisor isn't likely either, Paragon is subtle enough a trait, but he could have an internal Energizer trait that hasn't surfaced yet.

    Would Mischief learn to play a musical instrument just to prank someone?

  • Knowing Danny, he would insist that the Tenor isn't manly enough and demand the refrain be played on a Baritone.

    Why do I suspect that, at some point, either the TLWs or Mischief or Jade are going to get Danny to 'fuzz' and then hit him with some kind of color spell or dye so he actually IS pink?

  • If he gets even half the torture alluded to here he may end up trying to force Wihanape out of his hollow alltogether. One of Jade's stories did mention that Tansy managed to pull this off, though granted she had a reletivly weak spirit at the time.

    Him seeking the aid of an unscrupolous student to do this could well be the start of a nasty horror story.

    She did something to her spirit, but she is not sure what happened. It could have been destroyed, consumed, ejected or possibly just hiding in Tansy's hallow.

    Why does everyone automatically assume that I'm going to be mean to Danny? I haven't so far! I haven't been mean to 'Shine. I haven't really been mean to Knockoff! Why persist in this misbegotten belief that Danny is in for some serious torture and mind-games?

    I pout in sadness that y'all could think I would be so mean!

    Shine was bullied, shot at, and lost his girlfriend.
    You dropped Knockoff off of a mountain, nearly killing her, you had her kidnapped and tortured, and then schooled by one of the Whateley instructors in grace.

    The only character you haven't been mean to is Headrush, and Morpheus was mean to her.

  • OK, I know how fun is it to make Elrod look like a sadist, but...

    if unpleasant things don't happen to the character, you don't have much of a story.

    "Jack woke up a morning and discovered that he was a mutant and was turning into a girl. Which, being transgendered, was like winning the lottery on Christmas. HisHer family was supportive and her friends were understanding. Her best friend asked her out on a date. They eventually married and raised a family."

  • Just know from me it's playful intent, with the sneak peek at Twins I gave, you should know that their journey wasn't exactly pleasant either, and I was bringing the twins, Edna in particular to near ruin, close calls can be almost as bad as the real deal, and it created tears as well as weakened some stitching for both, and Betty may have trouble coping with being encased in her shell soon, (hint her way of dealing with what life throws at her is to pack most of it away which she does REALLY well, but even she has her limits)

    Also the twins MAY have some unexpected troubles until they get linked together again but I don't want to give too much away. Even if this one is easy to guess based on the wake up scene..

  • I'm not taking this a criticism; actually, for a kid who's appeared in precisely one small story of his own and a spot piece in a couple of Kayda's, there's a pretty significant interest in Danny and his ultimate fate. Which means now that the bar is set for serious torture, I can just tease and embarrass the hell out of him and people will think I'm being overly nice to him...

    Bwah hah hah hah! My evil plot comes together! :evil:

  • Danny's troubles are more of a comedy skit; it's fun to see him squirm, but nobody really wants him ill

    If we are going to explore sadism towards small brothers of protagonists... well, Phoenix has one MUCH more deserving. Even Tennyo's little brother has redeeming qualities in comparison.

    So Shalt Thou Show Me Friendship by Phoenix Spiritus, which has the official origin story of Hank in it. Jay, Hannah/Hank's little brother is a little monster, to say the least. Danny is a saint by comparison. Shoot, Tennyo's little brother is a saint by comparison.

    You don't need to rewrite history to find a good story (or ruin the happy ending).

    Sir Lee wrote: "Jack woke up a morning and discovered that he was a mutant and was turning into a girl. Which, being transgendered, was like winning the lottery on Christmas. HisHer family was supportive and her friends were understanding. Her best friend asked her out on a date. They eventually married and raised a family." But her other friend, who was also transgendered, began to spiral into depression seeing her friend get what they both wanted, with little hope of getting it herself. She was unable to reconcile her joy at her friend's happiness with her own jealousy and desperation. Jackie tried to help her, but she began to try dangerous magical treatments and experimental devisor drugs. Jackie and her spouse began to argue over how to help their friend and eventually separated. Their older child tried to aid their "auntie" in her quest, and got entangled with the criminal element of their city. Their young child was unable to handle the family's separation, and began to act out in school. And then it got worse...


    I'll admit that most of that is extrapolation that could be done to any story foundation. But the core is the introduction of the poor, unfortunate friend, whose presence transforms the story from fluff into a real drama. If you wanted to make this a Whateley story, you'd skip all the stuff I wrote about after the marriage and have Jackie go to Whateley while her new significant other stays behind trying to help their friend. Meanwhile, Jackie has to watch from a distance as their friend falls apart, while undergoing a variant of Ayla's quest at Whateley to find working changeling technology.

    Actually, I kind of want to see this story now. If it inspires anybody, please feel free to take it and run.

  • Let's spread the love for the Franks family.

    Do you think Danny and Frank are going to end up friends during the new school year ? They both have similar issues (OOC we know that Elrod don't plan on making Danny a girl permanently, but Danny is afraid of it. On the other hand Frank's fate is pretty much sealed at this point.) And they could use some moral support.

    Oh? Don't I?
    It might be that Danny's changing status is simply postponed or delayed or slowed by him going Wihinape from time to time. He still might end up 100% female by the time things are done. :evil:

  • For all we as readers know, Danny's change could be more subversive, like the change targeting the mind first until "Danni" stays in one of Wihinape's forms full time and when she finally shifts to base form, she'll end up as a cat girl.

    :evil: :twisted:

    Oh there are plenty of reasons why, give him a crap ton of internal conflict as he's realizing its happening, make him/her worry they're losing parts of who he is. Make him want to self-isolate. You know the usual

  • For those of us who come from the TG Fiction side of things, its easy enough to say "just because" for gender flips and transformations of various furry or non-furry varieties. But it is true that for well written stories, there does need to be justification for such things. Not just in context of how did it happen (easy enough to have a female BIT assigned to a newly manifesting boy)... but WHY is it a part of the story? This is what separates a WU story from a niche transformation piece... what does the reader learn (or learn differently) as a result of this character changing gender?

    Is it (like Kayda) a 'normal' hetero boy forced to experience the world from what he (at least originally) sees as a weaker person, dominated and raped, struggling to make sense of his place in the world... a somewhat ironic situation given that as Kayda she has far more power and potential than that boy ever would have. People joke about Elrod torturing his character, but look at it from another perspective - this girl has been forged by some intense flames. She has come to recognize how people, especially men, see and treat women in our society. Could Brandon... or the reader... have seen and acknowledged some of those same prejudices without seeing it in this fashion?

    I wrote interactions with Fling in the context of understanding how our friendships (good or bad) have an impact on our personal goals... the power of peer pressure and the interest in doing things for the acknowledgement of others. Could I have done so without a gender flip? Yes, I could have. But again, there's a different in friendships and connection/intimacy between male and female... and in friendships that have a relationship component. Without a gender swap, I might not be able to explore those elements.

    Could the gender flip just be for hyjinks? sure. Could do lots of things. But a well written, well planned story doesn't include anything without a reason for its being there. Sometime that reason is just to provide a contrast for something else... but it HAS to have a reason. If not, no matter how good it is, its presence lessens the impact of your story. The most obvious cases of this is when we look at the tedium of a block of lifetime story, in which the author describes everything that happens all day, every day. Imagine telling stories about living on a farm. Farm life has its share of adrenaline inducing crazy intense moments worthy of spinning a yarn... but they don't happen every day. And when you tell stories about farm life, you talk about the time the calf was being born during the tornado that wiped out everything but the barn you were in. You don't talk about every detail of the daily chores that you do every day for 80 years.

  • Day 4331 : Got a contract for the milk from the Nebraska Farm Board.

    I love watching their innocent little faces smiling happily as they trip gaily down the garden path, before finding the pit with the rusty spikes.

  • I must have missed something, I looked at the wiki and I saw the codename "Pounce" when was Danny/Danica's codename mentioned in the stories? Also that codename is evil, it invites innuendo

  • I finally decided on what codename to give him, and i wrote a full page for Danny (incomplete - much more to add), so I just put it there. I wondered if anyone would notice.

    And yes, it's a bit wicked, but a lot less so - as we'll find out in Kayda 10 or Danny 1 :evil:

    I noticed, and then went looking to see if I had missed his Codename somewhere. Then I saw you added the name, so I figured you knew it was canon.

    You're just setting him up to be harassed by Wondercute.

    And, of course he can room with Lancer. :roll:

    'Roommates', plural. ... Why plural? ... Why would he have multiple roommates? Either he, and/or Wihinape, has very exacting roommate standards, and so he gets a new roommate every so often, like Jadis, until the situation stabilizes at a good place? ... He's not getting a triple, I don't think there are triples, are there???

  • Roommates... a necessity when you have a roommate and something happens and you need a new one... did that something happen to Danny? did it happen to the ex-roommate? Did it happen to the room? How Ex is the roommate?

  • It's quite possible that this is a Reach-like situation, where Danny has a male roommate, and Danica has a female roomie.

    ... Oh... Right... He needs to switch forms every once in a while. Forgot that... :pinch:

    he was whining about spending a day or two a week as Wihinape-girl


    Anyone else reminded of Elliot from El Goonish Shive?

    ... So, we're sure he's going to Poe, right? ... Who might his roomies be? ... They might be new characters that are only revealed when we see them at Whateley... Any chance he gets a single when he's male? All our known 2007 Poe Froshes are female, IIRC? Roulette, Knockoff, Glow... Am I missing anyone?

  • Well, let me see...
    He's is Kayda's younger brother, so no way he's getting to be enrolled as a sophomore with Kayda -- Brandon was a junior, taking college-credit math classes, and *even so* Kayda was put in with the froshes.
    OTOH, I think he's too old for Junior High -- I can't remember any in-story info regarding his age, but a couple of his friends already have driver's licenses, so I think he's already in high school
    So, unless his first story tells different (or Elrod offers Word of God contradicting my induction), he's going to be a freshman. His/Her roomie(s) should also be froshes. So, probably not Lancer. Although Hank might take him under his wing, as a non-gay male in Poe.

    Hmmm... who are the known or likely Poesies froshes for 2007? So far, I think... Knockoff, Ribbon, Roulette and Crimson Comet. Knockoff is an Elrod character, which might be relevant. Morpheus might have a couple others -- Absinthe and... what was the codename of Pinball's protégé? Sphere?... might make it into canon yet. Glow apparently is not coming to Whateley. And, of course, there are likely to be a couple NPCs added for flavor.

  • There's another couple possibilities for the multiple roomates thing, though Pounce switching rooms between Danny and Danica would make sense;
    1 is Jade or someone else that could be considered multiple people
    2 someone with multiple personalities possibly one whom is ALSO rather feline in nature, though that might be too shocking for Danica...


    I would put Danica with Ribbon, for reasons... As for Danny, I don't know...

    Knockoff won't be in Poe, she and her mother have chosen to not declare that she used to be a boy so the administration has no idea about it.

    Hmm... Circuit Breaker... Err... Cyberkitty , for 2... And also has 4 forms... Wihinape might have lots to say about Weres and Werepantherism, as a feline-spirit...

    And there was that micro-scene that shipped them... Or something... Gotta reread that...

  • There is precedent for a Sophomore rooming with a Freshman. Jadis is rooming with Superchick. Chou was rooming with CeeCee who is in 8th grade. Various members of Team Kimba are not Freshmen, but rooming with them. I think Feral is a freshman, but she was up with the sophomores.

    As for triples, technically Tennyo, Generator, and Shroud have a triple.

    If there are no other boys for Pounce to share with, he may be put with Lancer, assuming someone like Stronghold or Mule isn't moved into Poe.

    Edit: It's also possible we will see Ribbon's Granddaughter/Cousin at Whateley. And while Knockoff didn't admit to being TG or a Lesbian, Wildhammer knows. Roulette's friend may also manifest.

    She'll be 18 at the start of the fall term and Danny will be either 14 or 15, so yes quite a significant age difference.

    But does that really matter, for a crush?

    Jadis. ... Or Ayla??? No, Ayla looks sorta female, but he's already paired, and even if he wasn't his condition might be a turn-off, as Danny's not... Homosexual, I guess would be the term? What would be the proper adjective for people who are attracted to she-males?? Or maybe it's Ayla... It'd sure be surprising... Or Maybe not??? :???

    ... A crush doesn't have be viable, in any way, does it?

    ... Dragonrider? She apparently "bloosomed into a desirable young woman" by G2...

    ... Jade. No... ... Yes?? ... ... Vamp??? ... I'm basically running through all the unconventionally pretty people? ... Belle... Tennyo??? I'm basically trying to ship him with everything to see if it sticks. ... FoeYay... Hekate's Master... No. Can't. HM's form is most definitely male. So that's basically the only limit. ... JOBE! OMG! JOBE! Or another Drow... ... Anything that can at least register as female at a glance is on the table.

    ... Mrs. Carson. No. NO. No. ... Hartford? BigNo. Gonna stop here...

    Angel . That one might actually work! It seems she's unattached...

  • Well if it wasn't for a couple of facts I WOULD ship Pounce with Ribbon, however she looks like she's 10, and has the body language of a 50yr old mechanic. Also it might take her decades to become "active" in that sense thanks to Ex 6 and Reg 4 slowing her new aging process down to a crawl.

    Edit: Just because I wonder how it would work, Pounce and Jimmy T...................

    Toni! She needs more people chasing her.

    I seriously think it will be one of the more "average" girls. Punch, Headrush, Molly, as opposed to the Beauty Nazis.

    I think Wondercute is going to be the running gag. Inconceivable! Kind of like way Jade was pulling something new out of her purse. It was never really important to the plot, but it was always there.

  • Though lets think about it, "who Pounce gets a crush on" is COMPLETELY independent of being in a relationship with them.... also all we know is that Pounce seems more attracted to the female form, we cant discard bisexual, pansexual, or a whole slew of orientations, Therefore, we should broaden the possibilities....

  • Pounce and Headrush... The ability to control fluids would make for an INTERESTING relationship, regardless of Pounce being Danny or Danica.

  • All interesting possibilities, but not one that I'm thinking of yet.

    You DO realize that there might be two - one when he's himself or kitty-boy, and a different one when he's slut-kitty.
    Actually, a third, too - when he's in mountain lion form.

    Who else is compatible with Mountain Lion form other than Cyberkitty? Unless there's other large feline shifters... Miyet, maybe?? ... Or a human who's into that sorta thing???

    Is it a female mountain lion form? Then it needs a male partner? Unless it doesn't...

    Hmm so Pounce might be heterosexual regardless of what form they're in...
    Ok even though he's not available last we've heard Danica (both Danica forms) and Techwolf cause Cats and Dogs living (uhh sleeping) together...
    Miyet is another possibility... As has already been said

    Now there IS another possibility that I've overlooked, if a certain changeling that's living in Cincinnati changes her mind about Whateley, Silver Ghost could get a big kitty....

    Right! The Weres. So, if we're gonna ship Dani (Fem name form 'cause Lion form is fem) with a Were, how often are they gonna meet up? I guess on weekends... How is he gonna handle 3 lovers? Doesn't that take a bit of juggling, especially if the Lion form one is off-campus?

    And that specific girl is Lelia.

  • I wonder if there's a metric anywhere on the ratio of posts/replies about a character to the number of lines in one or more stories that actually involve that character. If so, then Danny has to be right up there.

    Of course it doesn't hurt that EE and I continue to lob speculation-grenades over the fence. Or that Phoenix Spiritus contributes a few as well.

    Makes sense, given that he doesn't have a POV story yet... Also depends on how you count lines, but, I guess we can say that Danny has about 1 story's worth of material written about him in Canon... And this might be the longest Character thread, so yeah. Unless Hekate's Master beats Danny... The threads, that is, aggregated over all three/two forum iterations...

    Although, Danny might be involved in the fight against Hekate's Master...

    It's that, but a large part of it is that he's a sibling to a major POV character, and he's so innocent in comparison, his greatest two worries are girls and becoming a girl.

  • Danny is still shy of Jade's 70+ pages of posts on the old forums... but given that he's only barely even had stage time yet and has had less than a year to accumulate them.... ya, I think he's a winner.

  • "I've only chosen a select few things ..." Ayla tried to downplay his involvement.

    "Like the bathrooms?" Jade asked excitedly. "There're all gonna be fixed up right? Hydroflux and heaters?"

    "Mrs. Carson did say they asked Hydroflux to consult on the bathrooms," Ayla admitted.

    "For the boys too?" Hank asked wide-eyed.

    "Um, yes?" Ayla

    But Natch has a suiter! Thorn doesn't need competition, he needs time to keep grinding down the emotional barriers of Natch to happiness so he has a chance of actually moving the relationship to the next stage!

  • Thinking of Danny and Wondercute, he'll obviously attempt resisting joining as long as possible, but pretty much as soon as Physical!Jade encounters him, he'll furr up and he'll be so kyute she'll definitely try to rush him. Wihinape will probably be all in favour as well - especially if she's been chatting to Tatanka...

    Which just leaves two questions:
    (a) how many minutes after stepping over Poe's threshold will it be before Jade tries rushing him into WonderCute? (Probably not many, given it's conceivable she'll have Jamie the Spy Speck(s) watching the entrance for familiar arrivals - unless, of course, fate conspires to have Kayda and Danny meet other Poesies before arrival on campus)
    (b) will Kayda at least half-jokingly encourage him to at least meet up with the other members of WonderCute, or will she take on the role of protective Big Sister and stand up for him?

    Anyway, back to Danny, and it's almost inevitable that at some point he'll arouse the interest of Whateley's resident misogynistic student reporter (with or without his semi-willing sidekick).

    There's also one student club/society he'll be inducted into almost by default, courtesy of Big Sister: The Nations.

    We never got that complete story, and I remember a scene after that where she was, still a bit sparky. She wasn't lethal, but she was a bit dangerous. Now that I think about it, that might have been Absinthe 2.

  • Danny goes to hypnotherapy to learn better control over his switches, and they finally get to the point that Danny' shifting is now only triggered by code words.

    Unfortunately, anyone can say the codewords and the shift happens, and the code words are now general knowledge on campus,.

    The codewords are now being called out everywhere Danny goes on campus, and yes, there are codewords that will have him shift straight to Slut-kitty or full on cougar.

    Unfortunately, anyone can say the codewords and the shift happens, and the code words are now general knowledge on campus,.

    The codewords are now being called out everywhere Danny goes on campus, and yes, there are codewords that will have him shift straight to Slut-kitty or full on cougar.


    This one sounds fun.

  • And we can have Jade do it. Who knows what kind of craziness she can come up with. Poor Danny immobilized in front of a Sailor Moon marathon weekend trapped in Wondercute's lair! With Jade sitting next to him wringing her hands together with a evil smile on her face. " All your kitties belong to us!"

  • Wait what if no trigger, just "RNG (1,4)" switches as Danny has full control of his shifts what if that control was completely removed? Duration would be sporadic as well until it gets fixed. Alternate trigger- sneezing (even dry sneeze), and hiccups... this part wouldn't be fixed cause Devise. Cause it isn't confirmed if he has the Exemplar trait, he could catch a cold, the ordeal could make Danny look germaphobic, and search for a Devisor cure for the common cold, unfortunately even if he does find one, there shale be no cure for the hiccups besides the traditional. We don't want to cripple him/her in combat finals (no one else capable of controlling it unless they know him well so there goes most external triggers), just make life difficult some of the time, and we don't want to ruin the ship potential so squeeze triggers are out, also a trigger that only someone like Kayda would have access to, to make sure Danny goes into Danica mode enough to stop or slow permanent main form changes.

    So sneezing, hiccups and magic enhanced herbal brew that is a variant of the tea (otherwise Danny would avoid it like the plague), maybe the tea with catnip added and a modified spell, the duration of the last one would be for the day, or at least a few hours, for Danny's own good.

  • I kinda hope that his friends and the other Poe's residents won't go overboard with the teasing. I expect him to suffer, a lot (maybe not to Kayda's level of suffering because it's hard to top rape and then the murder trial) but I would be glad if he could have at least some respite from the teasing and his gender issues from time to time. He doesn't have Ayla's restraint, and some "joke"/"prank" can go very wrong very quickly even when they are well intended.

    In a way, I think I am biased because I have a twisted version of Poe. I don't see it as that supportive regarding those that are reluctant to embrace their new found gender complexity. At least they have counselling to help them deal with their situation but my vision is still clouded by things like Ayla not being considered as a boy for most of the year by pretty much everyone (except Jadis, Adalie and Vanessa), and I feel like it was more of a conscious decision by the authors (around 2014 I think ?) to change that rather than something that happened to the characters to make them realize that he could be a he even with a girl figure. In a similar way, even if it's too soon to tell, people's reaction to Frank/Esoteric are not really stellar. I think Mrs Horton mean well when she is aghast by Frank wanting to « pass as a boy » (because it could make him the subject of a lot of abuse from the campus bullies) but I am not sure Frank is taking that sort of thing really well.

    Some said that Danny has only 2 problems, Girls and him transforming into one. Well, at the very least I would add that he has a third problem, he is Kayda's brother. De facto he has a target painted on his back (and we know that Whateley's security is … not perfect. If I remember correctly the cabal has even indicated that the G1Y2 would show it quite well.) Also, contrary to 95% of Poe's residents, he is out in the open. I don't see him being able to hide his mutation. So yeah, even if girls are attracted to him because he is cute, I expect him to be harassed, a lot.

    « Poesies stick together » is almost a mantra at this point. I am wondering if it will really have an impact. Would they really protect him, and if then, how ? I can only remember the suicide watch for kayda as an example of the mantra, the others being more « Members of team kimba stick together ».

    Sorry for the rambling.

  • I kind of expect Ayla to help him with dealing with the bullies. More with advice on avoidance and de-escalation than with combat.

    The first time one of the bullies has to deal with either slutkitty or full on mountain lion Danny, they will be in trouble too.

    Poor Aquerna is going to be terrified of him, while thinking he's the cutest thing since Jerry.

    A - Never apologize for expressing an opinion. In this case, you are reminding ALL of us that Poesies supporting each other IS the way it's supposed to be - outside. And on the inside as well - if someone gets hyper-depressed because of teasing, whether it's inside or outside, they need support. Teasing in Poe? Sure - but there has to be a line where Mrs. H says "Enough!"

    B - How much will Danny get teased? Not sure. But certainly not to the point of breaking him down or causing serious depression. I already have some revelations planned that will be quite surprising and will put a lot of things in perspective. And no, just because I talk about Danny being a chew-toy doesn't mean he will TOTALLY be a chew toy.

    He's not on a "hero's journey" like Kayda is. That should tell you a lot.

  • Posies should support each other, yes. But do bear in mind that these are teenagers - how many teenagers aren't self-absorbed to some degree? To that end, while they can relate to each other on many things regarding their alternate sexualities or their transitions, it can be difficult to comprehend a perspective absolutely contrary to their own. Where many of the established characters see it as the single best thing to ever happen to them, the less-enthused individuals mentioned would find it the worst, and it can be difficult to accept both as perfectly valid responses.

    Now regarding Frank, bear in mind that it's still super-early in his tale. From a literary perspective there is undoubtedly quite a lot more to be covered, and how things are presented thus far create tension and conflict. It just wouldn't be very interesting reading if everything was all sunshine and rainbows (unless Wondercute is involved). :-p

    Seriously, thank you for your time and effort. It is appreciated.

    So how exactly does the classic Heroes journey differ from the Chewtoy journey? :-p

    Well, usually a Hero has a protagonist, they are almost as much defined by who it is they oppose as what it is they stand for.

    A "chewtoy" is usually without protagonist, it is circumstance and "Murphy" who they contend with. It is as much their friends, family and "life" they battle, as any "enemies".

    Are you implying that Kayda and Danny's mother has precog abilities while she's pregnant? Or always has, but they're only active when she is in pregnancy mush-brain, overly...frank mode? :pinch:

    In that calling Wihanape "slut-kitty" was far too accurate, even though everyone else in the family said she was being unreasonably (and uncharacteristically) mean about something?

  • I was going to suggest this as Wondercute's theme, but it's really a better fit for Danny in particular. Even Alyss didn't struggle much with the idea of being cute; she owned her image well before meeting Wondercute. Danny, though... This song is Danny's story.

  • A thought about Danica. Has it been established whether or not she's a furry? Danny the kitty-boy is, but is Danica?

  • I'm wondering if anyone would think to start a teasing (or taunting) campaign by playing to his feline side. Imagine his reaction if a giant scratching post, 10 pound bag of catnip or fullsize toy capybara (a rodent of appropriate size) show up in Poe addressed to him.

    Judging by the art in the gallery, she has a light fur coat.

    Danica is lightly furry.

    Eventually, Danica will learn that there is a sort of fifth form, a slightly less feline version without the fur, but that's in stories to come. Maybe. It depends on what I want to do to with Danny.

    (Edit to change likely to lightly. Having to use DragonDictate and/or type one-handed because of my shoulder surgery, so mistakes creep in here and there)

    Marvel doesn't stoop that low, that was someone on acid asked to write a movie about "Cat Woman" who never looked at a comic book in their life, and had no self respect for what they were making. You cant intentionally make something that bad, so it can't be propaganda.

  • okay, this discussion veered from danny to catwoman to bad movie cuts which can't make up for bad directing. story, acting, etc.

    while i can see how the debate over the best cat-woman would evolve from danny/danica discussions (julie newmar)i can't figure out where the last vector change came from.

    (and once danica is 18, she'll redefine everyone's idea of cat-woman :lol: )

    But with the Stray Cats he could boost his self confidence a little until he gets stuck as Danica with "Stray Cat Strut" also who doesn't like "Rock this Town"
