“Are you okay?”
The woman, still blinking owlishly like she’s still in shock, glances down then back up again. “I still have boobs. That’s weird.”
was the clock tower rewind button added to tie into the power stuff that came out of nowhere in clock tower 3?

Which, uh. The Haunting was supposed to be two chapters, according to my outline. I’ve been writing since I was less than ten years old. You’d think I’d learn someday that characters have a mind of their own. Which, like, I’m not mad about it, and I don’t think my readers are either, and Desmond picking now to actually thoroughly figure out magic and apply it makes complete strategic sense, but it keeps surprising me somehow. (And it’s kind of fascinating how meta the way the powers work got—)
But on that note, Desmond’s getting his HeroSystem Focus! (inobvious accessible, probably, but I’m not really an experienced GM; I only ran two games for a couple sessions)
the ‘piece of Agartha wood’ detail was going to be something small until I realized Desmond could totally use that, actually.
One of those things Lydia would have mentioned: it’s a bad idea to do a séance near a portal, because it’s harder to be sure you’re dealing with good spirits and it can actually empower the portal. I can nearly guarantee you that attic mirror counts, and I would think even two floors, let alone one, would be too close. (Then again, there are a lot of portal-y spots on Solomon Island, particularly if a bigger portal has a bigger radius, so finding a good spot on the island is, uh…)

Summary: Desmond deals with more ghosts in his own way.( ain't afraid of no filth )
Another thing that would make Sunnydale make more sense is if it’s actually a minor tourism town
Miyamoto is prone to the occasional hyena behavior like whining when she’s not paying attention to what she’s doing, thanks to the dagger spirit. Usually it just means she’s sore from fights or something, but Cordy decides after a bit it’s best to check in, just to make sure. “Are you okay?”
Suna glances up, eye a little vacant and confused, before she clues in and smiles sheepishly, rubbing at the back of her head. “’M a little twig-like, so when I ain’t out causin’ a ruckus my circulation’s shit and I get cold easy. Sucks.”
“I’ll warm you up,” Cordy offers, only realizing the dirty connotations a few seconds after she says it.
She’s not embarrassed, though, not this time. Because that actually might be the slightest hint of a blush, and that’s adorable.
“Feel free ta heat me up anytime, darlin’,” Suna drawls.
When Willow finally asks to see him, everybody breathes a little easier, but they all crowd in to listen, just in case. “I forgive you. For now. You ever do anything like this without my permission ever again and I will make Anya’s demon days look like a frolic through flowers.”
Okay, am in fact watching Shinri play SH2, and. They are doing a lot better than I expected, but also, uuuugh I don’t like their direction with Eddie either. The over-the-top sinister vibes + the fatshaming take they’re going with it is not cool. So far, they're doing fairly well with the mental health issues but they’ve got more writing/direction decisions to go.
I found a couple articles suggesting the Mayans had used water pressure (mostly to show off) and had a marketplace economy, so that’s cool.
( Chapter 400: Sugar High )
the ghosts might not bother the widow, but they’re bothering him
More pseudo time travel like the Park! More Assassin style exorcism!
Also Shaun actually did manage to teach Desmond something for his own mental health. He’ll be (secretly) very happy about this.
They don’t actually mention how Joanna Devore was poisoned. I decided on monkshood, partly because it grows naturally in Maine, particularly in mountainous regions. And also partly because it’s a poison that people have known about for a long time—it’s very likely that multiple of Desmond’s ancestors would have known about it, never mind Bill deciding it’s more important to learn about various poisons and preparations.

Summary: Visiting the haunted mansion might have been a mistake, but Desmond's more than capable of pivoting to deal with his new circumstances.( in the attic )
the last time we saw Taisha & Asura Taisha wasn’t allowed to remember or the world will end...but they’re now going on vacations together with absolutely no comment, so. Like. ??? the world will remember them as “good friends”
( feeling better )
This can be read as either a follow-up to Training Exercise or the Cambion!AU because there are a couple references to both, but it’s being ambiguous. (It can also be easily read as just a stand-alone.)
Main Points:
Okay at this point I am thoroughly convinced Shinri’s orientation is ‘not human’. If you’re not a human no matter the gender he will be a complete and utter mess. (I kinda want to see him play Monster Prom now.)
Lots of rephrasing.
I was thinking about why he wasn’t teaching any of his students fighting through sparring and suddenly realized he’s still freaking out about nearly killing Shaun and doesn’t want to do that again.
Some of the ak’ab sounds are very cat-like, which is why the cats are confused.

Summary: Desmond visits the haunted mansion while he's nearby.
