bUT MATTSUN LIKES TO SLEEP WITH PILLOWS SURROUNDING HIM bc it makes him feel safe and like there are two body pillows on either side of him and hes kinda trapped in the middle aksjskdk
when kyo was younger, he was really short and although he had other pants, he loved this one pair but they were really long on him and he wore it all the time and the part of the pants that touched the ground is torn in shreds
kindaichi steps on the sofa before sitting LIKE puts one foot on the cushion then the other until hes literally standing on the couch before folding to sit with his knees up to his chest (i do this)
watari sniffs his food before eating it no matter if its something he eats all the time or something new, he still sniffs it either way
yahaba is really particular with his feet and he likes to get a really big tupperware (duh one only meant for his feet) and fill it up with warm almost boiling water and he just soaks them
oikawa has sleep paralysis and he oftens hallucinates about aliens in the corner of his room
kunimi does this thing where he makes weird noises with his mouth like sounds of his mouth opening LIKE when youre tastinf something new and you do that sound with your tongue (I DUNNO HOW TO DESCRIBE IT AJDKSKKD)
makki bends his knees just to crack his ankles
iwa sneezes a ton but he has those sneezes where theyre quiet that you dont even notice or really loudly that it just echoes throughout the gym
kyo sleeps with one sock on bc his feet gets cold easily but both socks make him feel really hot so only one sock is perfect
for a tall and hunk of a guy, mattsun is a very light walker like his footsteps are very light and if he wants to, it can be practically silent
watari actually hates vegetables ajssksksk he particularly hates zucchini, eggplants, any vegetables that are that shape
kindaichi likes to stick or lean against walls because to him, they feel cold and can decrease his body heat
oikawa stands and places his feet at V position like \/ instead of ll because his sister did ballet and he was taught that was the right way of standing and it was considered graceful
yahaba has a fear of cactuses
mattsun does so badly in the heat because his body temp runs so high and the hot surroundings make him feel so uncomfortable and so he takes a lot of cold showers
iwa cannot swim like he freaks out immediately when his toetips can no longer feel the bottom and he panics with thoughts of drowning

kindaichi really really likes hugs but hes too awkward to ask them even from his parents
yahaba chomps on mints so he goes through boxes of them in a week
i feel like theres a boy in the team who doesnt brush their teeth everyday and rubs a towel on their teeth to make it look clean and take mints to hide their bad breath
iwaizumi is actually iron deficient so he bruises super super fast and he even developed iron defiency anemia when he was younger bc his parents didnt catch on which caused him to be put on strong medication for months and still takes it now
WAIT,, OIKAWA IS LACTOSE INTOLERANT BUT HE LIKES MILK SO HE EATS MILK BREAD TO MAKE HIM FEEL NOT SO BAD OR GUILTY OF CONSUMING STRAIGHT DAIRY
seijoh four bonding time is watching gordom ramsey shows and yelling and screaming 'YEA! EXACTLY!' as if theyre also cooking genuises
watari used to eat grapes all the time until his mom got worried and told him if he doesnt stop, he will eventually turn into one. he only eats it every few weeks
when he was younger, kunimi cried because he had befriended a chicken on a trip to a farm and his mom took him to eat fried chicken after and he thought it was Chicky (his chicken friend :"))
kyotani used to stick out his tongue when it was raining so he could taste the raindrops. they taste better than bottled water
one time, during a seijoh sleepover, they dared oikawa to wear his sisters old uniform, skirt and all, and it backfired so everyone turned red and couldnt look at him in the face
their pregame ritual is touching each other's shoe tips
they tried doing yoga at yahaba's house before by watching yoga youtube videos but everyone ended up having to go to the chiropractor after (how did makki even turn into the human pretzel?)
the local gym gets so scared when they see the team coming through the doors bc these men are so LOUD like they HYPE EACH OTHER UP SO MUCH THEYRE SO ANNOYING AKSKSKDK
also never take them to an all you can eat sushi place. if you do, bring them earlier of the day like 30 mins after opening time so the cooks can cook enough for them without running out of ingredients (even then sometimes they still run out)
oikawa used to eat his mom's roses from her garden because he thought it would make his farts smell good like roses
takahiro is a surprisingly good artist like he draws really cool action fighting scenes in the corner of his papers and stuff
in my work: it's canon that iwa is half filo and his nanay used to dress him up in a barong all the time during halloween bc she wanted him to showcase his heritage
yahaba drinks a lot of milk because he hopes to one day grow strong and bulky like the 3rd years instead of being seen as a pretty boy
kindaichi's mom is a hairstylist and she always scolds him for using a lot of gel bc she's always the one who washes his hair
makki never learned how to do taxes and hes had the government knocking on his door a handful of times (BOKUTO AKKDJSKKS)
kyo has a dog: a chiweenie
there's someone on the team who wears those socks with individual pockets for toes
their pinterest is so different from what they look like for example, mattsun has a board of different flower decorations and arrangements
kunimi throws up during intense horror movies
watari's celeb crush is emma watson
the team alternates from different music genres like from ateez and bts to mxmtoon and beach bunny
they still dont know how to pronounce camila cabello's name
theyre all active in social media but only oikawa is on it 24/7 and in all platforms while the others have insta and snap
mattsun has twins as little siblings and he used to get them mixed up all the time that he used to draw a sharpie dot on the girl's forehead to determine she was his sister
watari hates sitting on the floor bc his butt bone hurts really easily so he can only sit on cushions for long periods of time
the team was supposed to have a party but everyone didnt know what to bring so they proved they shared the same braincell by bringing the same thing: a box of pizza
makki's an old soul and prefers to play records on a record player or watch old movies
kyo is surprisingly good at giving massages because he really pushed hard on those tense muscles
kindaichi knows how to crack necks so everyone goes to him a lot to do it (a friend of mine does this and can i say its terrifying yet so good?)
the only one who has a license is matsukawa and thats because granny needs to go to the doctor a lot and he hates her walking by herself and cabs are expensive
kyotani and yahaba are actually,,, lowkey close,,, not like best friends but theyre nice to each other and they got a stick and poke together (yahaba's was: :) while kyo's was: >:))
watari has a collection of mangas (some bl maybe 👀)
WARNING SAD: mattsun’s future job is a funeral person right? he ends up taking care of granny’s funeral free of charge and he had to take a week off because it was really painful for him
oikawa learned spanish SUPER fast to the point he forgets japanese sometimes but there are moments where he forgets both languages and hes just,,,, ???
makki’s unemployed yea but he rooms with mattsun in exchange of cooking because makki’s surprisingly good at cooking
iwa is practically the nutritionist of the team because he knows everything about proteins, carbs, iron, and needed vitamins so they all go to him to know what to eat and what they need
kunimi has lots and lots of shoes but usually only wears 2
kindaichi has a habit of pretending hes chewing gum even though he doesnt have gum, his mouth just chomps and moves with air akasldfjkf
there was a clown phenomenon in america but in their city, they had a mascots and seijoh 4 went around scaring kids :”(
oikawa never manspreads he gets too insecure to spread out like that akdjfkd
kyotani can easily sleep anywhere like he would be standing and just fall asleep or he sleeps with his eyes open

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
COMIC TEA PARTY START!
Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning~! Today we are discussing Cunning Fire by Kaz Rowe~! (http://cunningfire.com/) For those new or in need of a reminder, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer, and you can pay them no mind if you wish. If you miss out on any though, they’ll be pinned for the duration of the chat once they’re posted~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! As a bonus, each chat a top comment will be picked and featured in the archives and on an ad for CTP! All that being said, let’s get started and have a great discussion!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
snuffysam
I liked the scene where Akiva and Blair go through the first few levels of the astral plane
It was cool introducing the different environments, and that scene gave us "i need to make a harder challenge"
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i felt so bad for that first level guardian. XD just trying to make some nifty puzzles but nope, everyone just comes and solves them and moves along
i think my fave scene is when they charged the crystal. not only were the visuals really stunning, but im glad there was an element of danger to it. i think that really painted a distinct picture that no, being a witch is kind of dangerous
snuffysam
yeah, i liked the idea that if you mess up with that channeling, you could be hit by lightning
turned out ok in the end, because they needed smaller crystals. but the danger was there
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
So, I liked when Akiva and Darcy first met, and the latter remarked how "literally none of that is your business" but they still kind of got along... and so I shipped them only to see in the author's comment that it could end up being canon.
snuffysam
i can see that. the ship has a lot of potential
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Though the astral plane stuff was neat too. Poor tearful Guardian 1, I guess anyone who makes it to him kind of has a sense of things already.
A lot of things seem dangerous, Akiva's just blindly charging in (though not totally blindly, as they're trying to help her).
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
haha i feel the akiva darcy ship is pretty obvious. would be surprised if it doesnt happen because the two have a really strong connection. or at least akiva is really insistent on being a creepy porch stalker
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Just gotta get past that whole Bahram spoiling it thing.
snuffysam
and a creepy window stalker
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Akiva, into the architecture, heh.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i like how the danger kind of gradually increases for akiva. in that they dont throw her into the most dangerous stuff from the get go. i feel like theyre working their way up so she doesnt panic
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Though you know me and my yuri ships.
snuffysam
yeah it really is kind of like getting experience points and leveling up
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Rebel - Yeah, that's a good point. And they seem to have judged where she's at too, like that remark in the graveyard about how she'd have already been thrown out if there was problems.
"This isn't like a video game!"
snuffysam
it is totally like a video game though, lol.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
another scene that i really enjoyed was when akiva and blair talked on the balcony. mostly because i felt like that scene had some really great atmosphere.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Yeah, I hope that builds up to something more, and learning about Darcy's past.
Related, I find the cast page really interesting... their witch cards, with certain "spoiler" information blacked out.
snuffysam
the balcony scene reminded me - one thing i really like is how the characters' clothes change
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I hadn't even really remarked on that. Good one.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i was actually really sad there was so much good info on that cast page cause i wanted to include some of that stuff in the questions but decided against it since it wasnt in the story itself. XD
i really enjoy how the characters have their own individual styles for clothing
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Heh. The evil date, "121613".
Actually... this takes place in 2016. And Darcy's pact was 3 years ago. Coincidence? O.o
Some people (witches?) must have up and died in mid-December that year...
snuffysam
rio's had a pact for 3 years too, according to her card
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
well the cast page does say eden is one of 4 survivors. and cant have survivors unless ppl dun died
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe they were just sent to astral jail or something.
Like the hellhounds.
snuffysam
though i would point out that eden wasn't registered until after december 16th 2013
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
OH. Nice catch. That is interesting. Maybe the incident is what drove him to witchcraft.
I like how Akiva was born on Halloween.
Also that Blair's overdue for renewal.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
that or it could mean the council didnt know about eden and he was doing underground witch stuff. and then the incident is what made them aware of those ppl
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
The incident was SORT of in the story too... that side story with the online message boards.
Rebel: Good point.
Gotta have the licence to practice magic.
I also liked the side comic following up on the "favour" that was owed, using the library. Including the use of gloves to handle old documents, well portrayed.
There's a whole big backstory here we're only just starting to see.
snuffysam
yeah it really feels like there's a lot to this world we haven't seen yet
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
QUESTION 2. The comic has plenty of mysteries surrounding our protagonist Akiva. First off, why do you think Azrael spared Akiva’s life as a baby? Or, in other words, what exactly did Akiva do that upset the balance that was mentioned a few times? We also learn that one of Akiva’s brothers died under unknown circumstances. What do you think happened to the brother? Was it an accident, self-inflicted, or somehow supernatural? Do you believe the brother’s death has something to do with Akiva’s strained relationship with her family? Lastly, though we know Akiva is a Death Witch, we have yet to see the full extent of her powers. As a Death Witch, what do you think Akiva will be able to do? Do you think she’ll adjust to her powers, or will they scare her and cause emotional trauma?
snuffysam
azrael was just in that halloween spirit
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Her brother had to die because she lived. Will she want to bring him back? Not sure about that.
Maybe he lives on inside her. As a female. Who can resuscitate on the third astral plane.
snuffysam
maybe there can only be a certain number of death witches in the world, and akiva's birth somehow caused one to die?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Because the big twist is, they're not actually related... Akiva's father is actually Bahram, or something. (edited)
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
maybe. as for upsetting the balance i assume that akiva did something she wasnt supposed to do. and for a baby that could mean maybe she wasnt even supposed to live long enough to be born? albeit there is that one scene with azrael where he wishes the old lady good luck in the next life. so assuming reincarnation is a thing, maybe akiva's balance upsetting has more to do with who she was before than who she is now.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Hm, not sure I buy that there's a quota.
Or who she will become?
snuffysam
azrael said that she DID upset the balance, not that she WILL, so i don't think it's that
the next life could refer to just the afterlife. but it could be reincarnation?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
That's fair. I wonder if it's like the balance between our world and the astral one then... was she only "born" in one place...?
snuffysam
are you saying everyone is supposed to have an earthly form and an astral form, and that azrael had to spare her because she didn't have an astral form?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I'm not sure what I'm saying, but let's go with that.
Maybe that Alex girl has the answers. (Am I getting the name right? The prior Death Witch.)
snuffysam
i think it was alexa?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yes alex is correct. alexis if you want to go non nickname
snuffysam
ah yes
yeah i think she knows what's going on with azrael more than anyone else
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I'll take any chance at a name I can get. ^^;
Except if she has the potion, why hasn't she spoken to him already? Is it that she needs a noble excuse?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
she could still know something. albeit shes still far from getting the potion. shes only on the 5th floor and there are 13 floors
so thats many to go
im really curious about whether each time they go to a new floor if their progress saves or if theyre bumped back to the beginning
cause if its the latter that makes sense for why getting to azrael is hard
since akiva passed out on what, floor 3?
snuffysam
i think you always have to start at floor 1. the reason you can ever make it further is because you train up to not lose so much energy.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
They must go back through, because that person said that Darcy had gone through level 2 quickly. Owing to her experience.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
ah thats true!
i forgot about the mention of darcy
welp
good luck to akiva
in regards to akiva's bro, maybe she hugged him and sucked the life out of him
just like how she murdered that flower for a moment
snuffysam
oh dang that would certainly cause some strained relations
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Actually, I'm pretty sure that the Darcy scene we saw near the start (with the crystals) took place in the midst of Part 4, like it was sort of a "flash forward" and then we went back to follow Akiva's path.
snuffysam
maybe? i figured it was just one of the many tries.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Hmm, Seth seemed to know it was coming though? Because he left that note. But I suppose it could explain about her regaining that ability (or rather just lost the power to turn it off).
I suppose it could be too. I've no proof.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
maybe bahram killed him O_O cause lets just blame bahram for everything
this sounds like a great plan
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
yis.
snuffysam
there are plenty of other evil entities out there!
probably
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i assume the strained relationship is actually just cause she predicted it. cause ppl tend to like to blame others when somebody dies.
maybe this is one of her powers as a death witch
she can see ppl's dates of death
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Oh, that could be too. Or maybe she could have predicted it, but said nothing, because of suppressing it?
Though I guess that wouldn't make sense with her family.
Unless she told them about her ability when she was young maybe.
snuffysam
have we seen her predict deaths a long time in advance? we know she sees azrael show up and follow people around a few minutes before they die...
we know she told them about seeing ghosts when she was young, and they didn't believe her
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Ahhhh. (Except Seth, maybe? I don't recall.)
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i dont think she specified it was a few minutes before? i think she just said soon and soon can mean a few minutes or it could mean a few hours (or a few days if you want to stretch it). and since azrael is technically just projecting himself its not like hes going to be worried about appointment keeping. cause theoretically he can just project himself however many times he needs.
wait
now i wonder how azrael knows when to get ppl
cause he didnt get that one girl who inadvertantly got akiva arrested
and if shes seen other ghosts
snuffysam
i feel like ghosts come back from the astral plane under certain circumstances? don't know what those would be though
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
well that one chick with akiva was most likely murdered so i could see how that leaves unfinished business.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe there's only certain people who are special enough.
Back to the original question, I don't think the Death Witch thing will cause any more emotional trauma than Akiva already has. ^.^
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i think it could but i think itd depend on the what. i think itll take something super major. like somebody dying.
QUESTION 3. Not long after Akiva joins Keter, she finds out that Keter had a Death Witch who vanished. Why do you think the last Death Witch, Alexis, left Keter? Was it based on selfish motivations, or could it have been something that Keter did? Does it have something to do with whatever happened between Alexis and Riley (and what do you think happened between them in the first place)? If Alexis left Keter, why is she still trying to reach Azrael with such determination? Lastly, do you believe Alexis and Akiva will meet, and if so, how might that affect Akiva’s perception of Keter?
snuffysam
i think the others were just pushing alexis too hard
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I suspect they'll meet on the Astral. Could be rocky.
snuffysam
yeah i imagine they'll run into each other on the astral plane somewhere
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe they were doing more than pushing too hard, maybe they were pushing her in a couple directions at once. Which was why she couldn't handle the relationship side of things too.
snuffysam
possibly
is it possible that alexis is trying to make the elixir for some personal reason?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
She might have left in a rush, she left her stuff. (Though I guess if she had to steal the elixer on the way out, that makes sense.)
I think that's almost a definite, yeah.
snuffysam
like, someone she knows who died or is dying?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i could go a few ways. on the one hand i could see it that she was pushed too hard. cause i feel like theyre already doing that with akiva. cause even if akiva is a natural, akiva is also still a beginner. and they already have her jumping into the astral and that seems a bit soonish to me. so in a sense i do feel like keter probably drove her to it
but on the otherhand, maybe theres something alexis knows that we dont
like some secret she discovered
snuffysam
maybe there's something shady going on with rio?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I feel like already died, otherwise she'd have been putting pressure on herself too, but there could be something to that.
Alexis knows who puts cream in their coffee.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
something shady with rio, or perhaps it has something to do with azrael. cause azrael did use to be human (iirc). that could have something to do with it.
and i assume theyre all there to revive different ppl tbh
so either that elixir has multiple uses
or after they get it theyre going to fight it out about who gets to use it
snuffysam
some people want to sell the elixir for money, probably
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
maybe. i dont feel any of the charas would. riley and quinn seem involved for research. but i think blair, eden, and darcy are pretty heavily implied to want the elixir for the life giving part of it.
idk about rio
rio might just want moneys
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
OH. Hmmm, will Akiva become the new Azrael? Is that her destiny? Because I'd forgotten about the human thing.
Maybe Alexis wants the Elixer just to spite the others.
snuffysam
maybe all the guardians were once humans, and death witches are created in case they need more?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe Death Witches are all potential successors, it's a question of whether they pass certain tests.
snuffysam
yeah, that's what i'm thinking
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
maybe natural death witches at least
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Yes, no artificial Death Witch sweeteners. Sorry, Darcy.
snuffysam
only death witches who make it to azrael are allowed to become the next azrael, for example
do we know of anyone who has truly pulled off being an artificial death witch?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
no tho its implied they exist. i just assume natural ones are way stronger and have a huge advantage
and are more likely to actually make it to azrael
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Was that guy in the other coven, the one who used his powers for healing, a natural one?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i dont recall if they mentioned
nope
hes a natural
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Me neither. I guess they can't change covens once they decide?
Oh, good find.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i actually clicked on the first page right from the get go
i lucked the heck out on that one
and idk i feel like they could change covens
just usually dont
snuffysam
you can quit covens, nothing stopping you from joining another one
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Why not just offer him better benefits then, to join them? Like dental? (Eden seems to have a good dental plan...)
snuffysam
its just kind of a jerk move unless you had serious personal problems with your previous coven
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i dont think avery would be a good choice cause even he says he sticks mostly to healing.
so ive had a thought. what if alexis doesnt come back to keter because she felt so pressured to succeed that she stayed in astral too long and lost her connection to her physical body
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Fair enough.
Oh, huh... do you think they're trying to get the Elixcer to help Eden out? Because he seems to have the vampiric tendencies, with the teeth and not going outside.
Maybe that's why Alexis cut and run.
snuffysam
maybe? but if she lost the connection to her physical body, how did she steal their progress?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
well i mean she stole their progress, ran away, hid, but can no longer come back to them even if she wanted
so lost the connection after she ran away i mean
snuffysam
ah, ok
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
thats why she hasnt really talked to them or so i feel is implied
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Ah, I see... that's possible. You'd think someone would have found a body though?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
not if she hid super good O_O
but that was just my pulled out of the hat theory
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe she needs the Elixer to get back inside her body.
snuffysam
that would suck if the elixir only has one use then, lol. lose your body trying to make the elixir, and now you need the elixir to get back.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe it simply raises all the dead.
It's like "Death Note" in reverse.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
im not sure azrael would consider that for the greater good
but on the point of the greater good i wonder how theyre going to frame it to convince azrael of that
snuffysam
depends who they're planning on using it on
darcy said that it's definitely not going to work if you're just in it for the money or the challenge, and i agree with her there
but if it's to cure a vampire who could potentially save dozens of lives with his potions? that might work
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Everyone's life insurance premiums will go down?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i wonder what darcy wants then that she considers her goal more worthy
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I dunno, but she is DRIVEN. To experience pain whenever someone touches you? That's a sacrifice.
Also rains a bit on the ship, sadly.
Will need to cover her in saran wrap. Not sure if into that.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
QUESTION 4. Besides Akiva, there are plenty of other characters with mysteries upon mysteries. Between Keter and Darcy, what do you believe everyone’s motivation is to create the Elixir of Life? Why do you believe Darcy would go so far as to contract with Bahram, who seems to be bad? Further, what is Azrael’s relationship with Bahram? As for Keter, what do you think is going on with Eden since he has to visit the doctor frequently? As Blair was avoidant of the question, why do you think she became a Hedge Witch? So the question doesn’t become too long, are there any other theories regarding the characters or their pasts, whether those mentioned or some of the others like Rio and Quinn?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Nice little segue I gave there.
Again, I figure Eden's somehow vampiric. Could be from another pact, like Darcy's? Can't go outside versus can't be touched?
snuffysam
pacts seem to cause downsides like that. i wonder what rio's condition is, since she apparently made a pact?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
idk. wish we had more info about pacts.
cause with darcy i assumed it was just a bahram thing
and i mean bahram looks evil
probably smells evil
but then in the astral blair gets kind of snippy cause that other witch also had a pact

Rio used to be taller, perhaps.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
so if theres a huge stigma whats even the benefit
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Someone to chill with on Sunday evenings?
snuffysam
yeah, what sort of power do demons or whatever actually give you? and can you break off a pact if it isn't working out?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe if you give them someone else to pact with?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
like for that matter what do the spirit demon things get. cause bahram at least must be after something
is this a selling of the soul sort of thing O_O
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
He gets someone to nag, I suppose.
snuffysam
he gets to cause someone pain
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Just want to say, I like Quinn. Maybe in part because she reminds me a lot of a character in one of my stories, but also the whole idea of being a Sea Witch who doesn't like water feels like an interesting take.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
im more interested by the fact her cast card says she used to be a former council apprentice
cause i want to know what happened there
did she leave
did they kick her out
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Oh, that's interesting. Maybe was rejected due to the not liking water thing?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yeah that could be. also could be she left on her own. maybe after the incident
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Or spread too much gossip?
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i also just want to point out that avery mentions that he and his boyfriend also have been doing witchcraft for 3 years
so there seems to be a theme of everyone getting into witchcraft around the time of this mysterious incident
snuffysam
a lot of 3 years stuff, yeah. a lot of new witches came about in december 2013.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
so either a lot of ppl died or maybe a lot of people became aware they could be witches.
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Maybe that's when the first Elixcer got out. So they need this second one to fix the damage that one caused.
Also, I cannot for the life of me spell elixer. I think I've gone through 5 variations this chat.
snuffysam
it's elixir
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Well done.
snuffysam
maybe there was a big witch fight in a public place? somewhere where a lot of people would have found out about witches, and that's why their numbers grew?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
But then why wouldn't Akiva have heard about it? (Wait, when did Seth pass on again?)
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
im not sure the story mentioned a when on that
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Could be there's a connection then.
Maybe THAT'S why Akiva's senses got turned back on. Seth dying was just a coincidence.
Or it's totally related, because he was dating Alexis in secret.
snuffysam
yeah it's hard to think of an event that enough people would have heard of where there would be an influx of new witches, but not enough where akiva or her family & friends would have heard of it
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
may need more data on the event in question.
so if we assume eden is a vampire, do you think the other survivors have been left in the same state?
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Doesn't seem to be a vampire who needs blood, at least? Maybe he was one of the lucky ones.
Or the others are werewolves instead.
One thing I want to squeeze in here - I find it neat that some of the word balloons have these little loops in them at times. (On the part that goes from mouth to words.) I thought that was a nice little touch, not something I've really seen.
snuffysam
yeah i really like how the shape of the word balloons' tails is influenced by the character and the emotions of the scene
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Nice art details.
