Well, he is dubbed "Tyrant Slayer", so he's likely respectful of good royalty, lives up to his name with bad ones, and is naturally leery of secretive ones.

Well, he claims the name comes from an ancestor who did the deed to a despot.

In a way this mirrors human history of jobs/nicknames/titles becoming family names.

And new NP - is Dan trying to make Ashley more likable because she herself ships Susan x Elliot?

[up]I'm more concerned with what the hell sort of clothes Grace is wearing.

Is that supposed to be a nightgown or dress/shirt thing?

...a coat and tight pants, with a t-shirt underneath? Pretty clearly visible here.

It's either a long shirt worn as a dress, or a dress that looks like a shirt.

You decide!

[up]It just looks like a dress or nightgown to me, doesn't look like a shirt.

Who would make shirts long enough to go down to your bloody knees?

...Are we sure Grace isn't from an Muslim African family and is wearing a jalabiya?

I honestly didn't think anything of it. Grace is at home with people she's comfortable around and is the least prudish character in the cast. Dresses with sleeves are a thing. And she wouldn't be the first woman ever to wear an oversized shirt as a dress when lounging around with friends.

This is just clothes.

I do think it's just a dress (heck, I regularly wear stuff like that around the house and I'm not a woman), it's just the idea of it being a shirt because I have never seen a shirt that long before.

Oh, that. I was thrown by the link going to Thursday, so I thought the comment must've been in reference to Story. It's a dress, a tunic dress. Yao Ming's shirt wouldn't have a height-to-shoulder ratio like that (and of course wouldn't have a women's chest).

Anyway, OC 08 - we all know about the kiss and the nudity, but I do have to wonder what could be making Grace blush.

I'm going to assume Virginia is Grace's counterpart and looks a lot like a gyphon version of one of her squirrel forms.

Actually, she's probably a straight up Uryom. That's what was meant by them not being from outer space, but well known to have come from another world. I'm guessing

@Ironballs And Elliot's reaction to that isn't really "Oh, crap" so much as a crestfallen "I was trying to kill somebody like him with all my power, somebody who was under mind control and was holding back?"

Cookie awarded to whoever guessed Uryuom. I guess we're about to learn that Uryuoms are from the other side of the coin, where griffins and Magus come from. That's why they aren't from space.

Also, seriously, this whole griffin scene is like watching a new show starting from Episode 37. Everyone's acting in ways that I assume would probably be meaningful if I had any idea who any of these people are.

No joke, I think that's a real possibility. She just happened to become a wizard in an unprecedented freak accident at the exact same time that uryuoms regained access to magic. Seems fishy.
