She hasn’t jumped out of a vent before, she’s just a natural at this.

He's got an odd blind spot about not searching Flack... If he is Sharped and he gets triggered, Knotty's a bit close for comfort
On the upside, I don't think Sharpe has much more experience with brawling than Knotty does.
…
On the downside, he still has that pistol he swiped from Eliza's shop.
That, or Flack has something on Sharpe that he doesn't want anyone finding. Magical manipulation isn't the only kind of manipulation.
If he is trying to avoid the safe word rather than failing to remember it, it's possible Flack has the word written down.
Honestly, I'm not convinced. If he's merely pretending he forgot it, why is he trying so hard to avoid admitting he's forgotten it?
Because if he's forgotten it the first thing they'll want to do is find it.
I've seen nothing to suggest that he doesn't want to find it.
He'd be all for checking the desks then.
He just fell on his arse from up high and had another person land on top of him. Give him a moment.
Why would he discourage them from looking anywhere? If they find he, he can act like he always knew it. If he finds it first, he can pocket the evidence and say he remembers, or better yet act like he never forgot and brush off how strange he was acting before, so even better. The only reason to discourage the search is if finding it is something you'd consider BAD.
Be quiet and try to remember the password you only wrote down instead of committing it to memory, young man.
The grownup is in charge now. :p
Sharpe, I know you've been conditioned by Flack to think that, but you need to listen to the gorgeous Ms. Eliza Swift. This is her show now.
I can tell she's never jumped from a vent before; three point landings are a rookie mistake.
How so? Seriously asking.
Because of the serious damage they cause to your body. [https://www.youtube.com/wat...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u429Qgvoxw4 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u429Qgvoxw4") If the link doesn't work, search YouTube for "Never Do a Superhero Landing" on Because Science
Thanks! The more you know.
Never mind that. Three point landings are cool.
If the vent is low enough that she could have jumped up to grab it, or only missed by a foot or two, not many landing styles would hurt.
You don't need to drop far to hurt yourself. It's all in how you land.
As opposed to Vincent and Will...who have clearly mastered the highly professional "butt plant" landing.
I feel for the cook.
This kind of brainwashing and frustration? Way beyond her pay grade. She needs compensation, not just a cure.
Yeah and the staff we've seen, 2 for 2 have been magic-brainwashed now, so probably all of them are :/
Yes. Yes we do, peacock.
Good nickname. ^_^
I wonder how long it takes for the spirit to stop affecting mood?
Could be many answers to that.
Until someone removes it is the easy one. (Using the safe word is self-removal.)
Until the spirit is replaced with a different one.
Until the spirit gets bored.
Until the person suffers serious trauma. That's the "blow to the head restores lost powers" trick.
Until the person dies.
trying to remember long-ago archives while half asleep but... wasn't there a time limit on lesser evoked spirits in one of the first chapters? Or am I confused on that I could totally be confused
I love how Eliza is in full action-heroine mode while the boys just land in a heap. (And is that Will flirting again in panel 4...?)
In the boys' defense, they are handcuffed together.
You assume he ever stopped.
Heaps aren't so bad.
Will certainly doesn’t seem to mind!
Really, guys, I think it should be pretty obvious that he's either had this done to him or done this to himself.
It is, except that in his narrative about his classmates it really sounded like they hated his obnoxious overconfidence well before this paper? So the timing's weird, unless he or his memory just rewrote the past to fit.
"It's Raining Men" starts playing out nowhere
Honestly at this point I'm going to laugh pretty hard if it turns out it wasn't Flack and was instead someone else. It would be a heck of a fakeout.
Now that would be a Plot twist!
Oooh, shnazzy new website! I like it!
Weird. I saw this comment right about when you first made it, and yet there wasn't a new website for me until about a minute ago.
Yeah the DNS is slowly flipping to the new site, it's still the old one for me which is deeply frustrating :V
