Grrl Power #584 – Escape bear
I realize just as I’m posting this page that the crack on the one way mirror looks like Dabbler and all four of her arms are cracked into it, but when I drew it, I was thinking of Dabbler in her two armed form, plus an impression of the tentacle arm that smacked her into it.
I suppose it works either way, but it raises some questions about how succubi glamours work. Remember, they’re nearly uncrackable. Changing someone’s skin color, hiding some stripes, that’s Illusion 101. Making someone hear soft footfalls instead of your hooves clicking on the fancy marble, that’s Phantasm 101.
Making someone think they’re stroking a cheek when they’re actually running their hand over a horn, that’s… actually I’m not sure. Phantasm 201? Making your hoof prints look like footprints ten hours after you walked in some dirt and you’re 40 miles away, well I don’t know what that is. That’s probably best accomplished with telekinetic prosthetic feet. That might also be a good solution for clicky hooves as well actually.
There’s a lot of other things you’d have to cover for if actual forensic sorcerers were trying to clear the new dancing girl and make sure she wasn’t a sexual assassin or something. I’ll actually go into some succubus history in the next story arc I imagine, so this will come up in more detail then.
Oh and by the way, there’s obviously no cell service down in the vault. Ingsol is calling Maxima on a cell phone that can use its wi-fi antenna as a sort of short range walky talky to another similarly equipped phone. That’s a thing, right? Well it is with their phones.

Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
How will they do the combine couple name?
Its either Vyrter or Cootmil. Personally, I would think Vyrter is better sounding…. which means the other will get picked by Cooter….
However, I can also see Cooter deciding his new monster powers mean he should now be called “Cooter the Snake” with inappropriate gestures thrown around there….
Why do people keep calling him ‘Cooter‘?
Cootil sounds better than either ‘Vyrter’ or ‘Cootmil’ :P
For the same reason that the Regenator keeps getting called the Regenerator by commenters.
Because it is normal to abbreviate names like that. Such as “Kate” being short for “Bob”.
Actually he was called ‘Wyrmil’, not ‘Vyrmil’.
So I would suggest ‘Wyrt’.
Obviously, it should be Woot.
Woot! I am completely in favor of Woot.
WOOT, there it is! WOOT, there it is! Shaka-laka, shaka-laka…
Nah, Woot’s the name of a demon PC on the webcomic Elfs Only Inn.
I man Woot.
What? We were all thinking it!
I AM Woot. Phone autocorrect…
A sight better than saying he’s ‘Cyoot’.
IMHO, he’s never been “Cyoot.” Even if I weren’t strictly a hetero male, I still wouldn’t like looking at him…
ᗒʖᗕ
I am
Groot.
YOU WIN!!!
Woot, definitely Woot for the win.
Since “cooter” is a type of turtle found along the southern half of the east coast of the United States, they can just “Form of… River Turtle!” and incorporate both aspects while keeping the name Vyrmil.
Also, they can run around yelling, “The Kingdom has a snapper!”
(You’re very old if you get this joke…)
*bounces around like a young whipper-snapper*
Simple. We got us some Monster Cooties!
Cooter-mil.
Nice, all four of Dabbles’ arms cracked the mirror, better send in Ms Marple :D
Not implausible, remember she grabbed Maxima’s butt with her two invisible arms the first time we saw her in the comic.
it was stated multiple times that dabblers glamour not transforms but puts up a illusion.
Maxima vs. Tentacle Man…I can hardly wait!
That sounds like a Henti dojin to me.
Cool – you brought back TWO neato characters!
0.5 + 0.5
I think cooter suddenly got a lot more power than someone like him should yield…It reminds me of someone else….If only I could remember who!!!
Donald Trump?
Sidney?
Sydney has strong and proper morals and ethics. She usually knows when to keep her mouth shut about things that should not be said, unlike some other suggestions on this list. She sometimes thinks that she might not be responsible enough for this much power, which means that she will usually be responsible with her power and try to fix her mistakes if/when they happen. She is concerned that power can corrupt and wants to make sure she stays grounded. She knows when her scatter-brained behaviour is wrong, accepts correction from others and learns from her mistakes.
While physically, she is not a big and imposing figure (See Anvil, Maxima, well, half her team-mates actually), the orbs make her a very powerful individual; she generally does not take advantage of others because of her power (Brooke not withstanding – That was because Sydney is smarter than Brooke and that was only teasing, not abuse). I expect she will be quick to come to the defence of her team-mates and not just with a quick force-field; “Quick, get over here while he’s not looking. When I drop the field, here’s what we will do.” Even though she is one of youngest in Archon, I see her sometimes taking on a big sister role. “Hey, Achilles may be tough and thick-skinned, but you don’t get to say that about him. Now take that back!”
Megavolt?
Volt Dynamo?
Ew, not THAT guy…VD is annoying as hell!
VD more than just annoying. Some versions of VD can be cured with antibiotics, but the viral ones do not respond to that at all; you can vaccinate for most of the viruses, but then it is up to your immune system. Abstinence is the best policy to reduce the spread of VD, then sexual relations only in your committed and exclusive relationship, then the use of physical barriers, like condoms, whenever you do engage in sexual behaviours.
And so freaking irresponsible! I seriously hope that that TV headed dude brings the hammer down on him!
There is no amount of power insignificant enough that Coot should not yield it. Dog catcher in a 200 person town is too much power for someone like him, and Coot should yield it immediately.
But I believe that you have confused ‘yield’ with ‘wield.’
Yes, he must not be allowed such a vile power!
*wags tail approvingly*
That’s not exactly the right arm of the king but it’ll have to do. *Frantically grasps at the hope that “regent” is the root word.*
Not sure about modern ‘dumb-user-phones’, but older cell-phones could be used, as you said, as short-range walky-talky’s, or as intercom devices
To be honest, thought they were communicating via Maxi’s earwig (and Ingie’s earvig :P)
Yea, some models of cell phones still got the worksite intercom subsystem, it just not a standard feature anymore.
Skype/Whatsapp-style VOIP?
No wifi /voip. Just UHF radio. Its a much simpler, more reliable tech. ARCSwat probably has some of Dabblers futuretech in their choker-comms too.
Maybe not, she didn’t want to give any of it up after all. Unless her tech is only in the manufacture and not in the end product (eg it’s a standard radio just smaller and it needs her tech for miniaturization).
https://www.voxer.com/
You want to ensure your teams have a working point-to-point coms even when they are out of range of normal telecom infrastructures.
There are indeed off-grid mesh phone apps (and hardware) available right now. Gotenna and Serval Mesh are a couple that came to mind right away. Serval can do WiFi/Bluetooth communication, and if your phone is rooted you can get even fancier with self-healing large meshes.
Wait, that’s the weapon thingie that Sci-fright freed just before twinkling out…
It wasn’t a co-inky-dinky, she could have smashed any cage to release the death-field, but she chose the one Wyrmil was after, why you have to keep making her not such a bitch? o_O
that wasn’t the regenerator, https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2648 shows the regenerator and it’s not a hook thing. wyrmil probably just grabbed it because it’s a weapon and it might also be a powerful one, since it was locked in that vault.
Presumably he grabbed it before he was found, but after the Council came in and deactivated the security measures (as the NaughtySickle, or whatever it really is, was still inside the expanding deathfield when Sciona ‘poit’-ed out.)
But, does that mean Deus decided to get the Regenator out for a (barely alive) Wyrmil? “Sorry I can’t help you more, but you understand why I don’t want to touch this. There should be enough biomass in the atrium to get you back on your feet though. Good luck, and if you survive, give me a call. I can always use someone who’s nigh-unkillable.”
You have to speculate to accumulate, to quote Terry Pratchett.
I endorse the designation “NaughtySickle”…
Ickle-Sickle
Isn’t “Ickle” usually slang for “little”? Icky-sickle would work
Watch it there…
You also showed that her extra arms are just invisible as she groped Max with them in the banquet hall.
Presumably she has some control over her glamour.
A glamour is an illusion. it doesn’t make her extra arms cease to exist, or her hooves. gotta also remember it’s generally just used for closing in on a Succubi’s victim as well. once they’re actually IN the lust aura the glamour being up isn’t gonna mean much.
Apparently Dabbler hit the glass face (among other things) first.
Still not clear on whether that’s a window or one way mirror.
Could it be both?
Magically able to be 2 way, 1 way, or zero way?
(2 : both, 3 : ???)
Probably had normal glass in it, as it wasn’t designed as a holding cell, but could be easily glamoured to work one way.
No, Dabbler was slammed into the glass back first. the lower two ‘armprints’ are from Wyrmter’s tentacle. The ‘boobprint’ is Dabbler’s where she crossed her lower two arms in a X-block.
“(2 : both, 3 : ???)”
I think most succubi would enjoy a 3 way.
I lean towards ‘back first’ as well. The lower pair of cracks don’t extend unbroken from the ‘body’ like the upper pair do. Dabbler is rubbing the back of her head (does not preclude her being struck from behind, but..)
On way mirrors aren’t actually one way. They just let a little bit of light through and a little bit reflect on one side and on the other let some through and absorb some.
When the non-mirror side is a dark room not much light gets out so it’s over-powered by the reflection light and washed out. But if you have both rooms with equal lighting you’ll see through both ways.
The second section here has a nice diagram of it.
Most ‘one-way’ mirrors are just plain ordinary every-day normal mirrors, without the backing
Magical or photon sorting glass for ACTUAL one-way mirror?
“Oh and by the way, there’s obviously no cell service down in the vault. Ingsol is calling Maxima on a cell phone that can use its wi-fi antenna as a sort of short range walky talky to another similarly equipped phone. That’s a thing, right? Well it is with their phones.”
Yes, it’s called Bluetooth. ;-)
I doubt it. Bluetooth loses it’s effectiveness behind thick walls or worse, metal reinforcement. I’m guessing it’s more like the Nextel walky-talky feature that was big before Sprint bought them up and killed the feature.
I know in mines they have to use a lot of repeaters for their walky-talkys. One every other light fixture in some areas.
Few things: we know that Dabbles keeps all her arms, even when glamorous (remember the invisible grope on Maxi during Sydney’s interview?), not much Décor could have done on the otherside of the mirror, and… NAKED COOT ON THE RUN!!!!!!!
And now it’s clear why they choose to place him in the room facing away from the window. Full frontal Coot was way beyond what anyone but the succubi could endure…
and even then it would likely be a massive drain on their Tantric Energy reserves. Dabs is probably gonna need a night or two with the Barberian again.
You know it was probably not the intended reason for Cooter to act the way he does, but having a reeeeealy stupid/oblivious character gives a legitimate reason for informational recaps without breaking the 4th wall or dropping the story pace, or feeling out of place.
It may have been intended. Writers have to plan exposition. Example: The Doctor’s companions. back in the 70’s series, one popular companion lamented there were only so many ways one can say “Doctor! What is it?”
Okay, now is a time for Sydney to Bubble-up and have the Hentorb active: Epic Slapping to commence in 3… 2…
Really I think a sydney in a bubble making faces would be enough to stoop cooter for a good while
Or maybe she can stop him with an insult competition?
I doubt Vyrmcoot (or whatever) is a match for Maxima, even with the overgrown can opener. He probably will try to wyrm his way out…
that overgrown can opener might actually be deadly, even to maxima, since it was locked in that vault.
did decollete change her glamour to give herself sleeves? she didn’t have those in the last previous.
*she didn’t have those in the previous page. why is there no edit button -.-
Warning the towel has gone, repeat the towel has gone. We have a naked hill-billy on the loose.
Eh.. is there a page missing? Dabbler went from what to splat, and Coot from mostly tied up to streaking in the hallway…
Wow, you really needed to see Cootil slam Dabbles into the mirror? o_O
Even though this is next page, yes, at least one frame is needed to show either the slam, or the sound from the slam.
Agreed. One can infer what happened between pages here, but the narrative loses coherency in the process. Last we saw Cooter/Wyrmil he was still seated, facing away from dabbler and stretching *up* with his tentacle. We didn’t see him shift attention to dabbler. We didn’t see him begin to lash out. We didn’t see him start to move away from the chair. We didn’t see him break through what should have been a rather sturdy door. Too much was skipped and left for us to decipher from the aftermath in my opinion. This feels like we went just made an ‘in media res’ scene transition right back to the scene we were just watching.
Even just a shadow of the tentacle over Dabs in the last panel of the previous comic would be enough.
Cereally? What the fuck has the modern slack-jawed five-second-attention-spanned generation cum to, that every damn thing has to be explained and spelt out in detail!!
I don’t think it’s about needing an explanation, what happened is pretty obvious but the transition was jarring. It would have made sense if there had been another scene in the middle like “Cooter/Wyrmil just freed himself/ Page of other stuff/Page with the direct aftermath of his escape” but going from Wyrmil revealing himself to suddenly they’re outside feels like there is a step missing.
We don’t need to see all the action, but a transition would be nice. Like Mike suggested just having the shadow of the tentacle over Dabbler in the previous page would make thing smoother.
Last panel of last page, we had Dabbles backed up against the mirror with the entire nut-gallery exclaiming at what they are seeing, first panel of this page we have Dabbles slumped below a Dabbles-impacted mirror rubbing the back of her head, it is not that difficult to figure out what happened!!!!
As for jarring transitions, not everything transitions smoothly
Instead of referring to Aesop and his tale about an old man, a boy and their ass and how attempting to pleasure every stranger they cum across, will start referring to the end of “The Incredibles” when Dash is competing in that race: “not too fast, but not too slow that it’s obvious, but you still need to win!”
I explicitly said it wasn’t difficult to understand what happened. At least that’s what I meant by “what happened is pretty obvious”.
Not everything transition smoothly, and it can certainly be good to change the rhythm to skip less interesting action but that doesn’t mean that a transition can’t be too jarring.
I’m not claiming to be an expert, and DaveB certainly isn’t under any obligation to take what I say into account. That doesn’t mean I can’t express my opinion. The difference between that and the tale of the old man, his son and the donkey is that the old man lost sight of what he wanted in favor of the opinion of strangers. They started off carrying the donkey because the old man wanted it to look rested and strong before selling it, and they ended up both riding it. Artists have to do the same thing with criticisms and comments, parse through them and take what’s useful for their purpose. If DaveB decides he’s fine with the transition it’s his choice, if he decides to modify it, still his choice. All we can do is provide feedback.
The most funny thing in this update is you asking that question, unironically.
Decollete’s arms have been bare the last couple pages she’s been shown, but she had the purple arm warmers up until this page (574).
And the weapon Coot-Worm is holding is shown in the page before the one I linked (573). It was on the display pedestal that Sciona smashed with her wing-things to release the death field.
And looking at it again, today she is still missing the black wrist bracers she had on top of the arm warmers during the earlier scenes.
Also her glasses
She’s slowly and secretly stripping?
DaveB, I hope you remember how you drew Dabbler the first time she actually appeared in front of Sydney – and her ‘invisible’ hands on Maxima’s ass? There was no confusion – these are armprints!
We have since seen Dabbler dancing with a guy, in the Oontz club, pulling the same trick, but without him noticing. From which we can deduce that Dabbler probably turned off the tactile part of the illusion, when groping Maxima, precisely so that she could feel it.
Will possessed Coot make it past Maxima???
Probably not. But artefacts can have phenomenal powers, and these are ones that have been locked away due to having ‘apocalyptic’ powers. Until we find out more about the Regenator’s powers we cannot predict with confidence.
Plus Wyrmil himself may have other capabilities. If he can, for example, phase through the ground, he will have very little difficulty bypassing her.
On Who’s who You can rename Some blond to Dabbler since she is named in panel one.
Thith will be the latht time we thee Thumb Blonde, so no need to change the name
If she was facing away from the glass when hit how does she leave a boob print?
She was shushing the others behind the mirror, facing away from cooter, when he got loose. He smashes her (or wyrmil does – cooter will probably apologise for that), face first into mirror. she fall on her booty, turns over as she’s getting up.
She had her back to the mirror when things started getting… out of hand >_>
Those might be imprints from her other 2 arms or just how the glass shattered out from her rib cage.
She can hear him, right?
Dabbler can hear Coot, but probably not Wyrmil, given the distinct thought-bubble effect to his dialogue.
If you look back, over the last couple of pages, Coot was giving away lots of stuff with his spoken dialogue (including mistaking Wyrmil for someone ‘out there’, which Dabbler naturally mistook for being the observers in the booth). So we do not have anything pointing to Dabbler overhearing Wyrmil.
That said Dabbler is part Doppelganger, which (in the D&D game) does have ESP (mind-reading). So maybe. So far the only hint to that effect has been to find that the General has a thing for green alien girls. Which is a pretty big hint actually…
*uses paws to make a shadow play of an iceberg the size of Manhattan*
… but not conclusive.
The best way to make footprints like they were created by feet is to actually make the footprints using feet. It’s transmutation 237, but the content is also covered in illusion 362.
Coot: “You guys never were monster hunters, were you?”
Richard Dawson: “Survey says?”
DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!!
You know, I think the best part of Sydney’s orbs is not so much the powers that they give her, but that the orbs protect her while she uses what is perhaps her greatest weapon… Her sarcasm and her ability to be as annoying as hell. I mean really… what bad guy can resist being drawn in by a few well placed insults? Remember in the first meeting with the General and Arianna where she chided Max for not being able to penetrate her shield? A few well placed, thinly veiled insults and Max was pounding her shield hard enough to make the General order her to stop before she damaged the room.
Will Coot and Wyrm eventually split into two separate entities, and would that leave Coot with some of Wyrm’s power?
Now that he realises he has been on the wrong side and been helping monsters, not hunting them, he might switch allegiances. He might throw down the weapon in front of Max, if Wyrm physically lets him.
re the cell phone service: read a paper years ago that suowed that cell phone service didn’t need cell phone towers in cities anymore – phone density was enough for cell phones themselves to be the routers, all it took would be software change. that would mean: no more service failures in disasters like 9/11 (was focus of study); and my favorite part: cell phone provider service was only needed for calls outside the cities and for DNS analog ; security was a big deal – phone-to-phone routing would require end-to-end encryption; and other details.
Obviously, it would have to be developed by the cell providers, a LOT of development and money. So it ain’t ever gonna happen. but with all the radios in a cell phone, there’s plenty of capability to talk down the hall without hitting a cell tower.
Never say never. Public utilities are heavily overseen by the government, for a lot of very good reasons. Cellular service has been previously given quite a pass, mostly because landline service was already in place and was providing the public utility. Landline telephony service is mandated to provide “5 9s” of reliability, meaning that the service must be available 99.999% of the time. This is a huge degree of reliability, and justifiably so since it is considered to be a part of our national security*. Telephony switches always have a tandem backup, and only an event such as 9/11 could interrupt landline service, and only then because the buildings housing the switches were completely demolished. Even so, Lucent had a truck with a mobile switch in NY city the day after 9/11, where it had to sit while awaiting the fires to be extinguished before it could be installed.
* As an aside, Obama’s use of Blackberry was a huge concern to the White House communications team since that carrier is a Canadian company and all Presidential communications made on his Blackberry were being routed into Canada and back out again, just like every other call made on that network.
Yea but Canada has only invaded the USA that once. Ookay they did burn down the White House, so you make a good point. But what masterful statesmanship, in showing that he did not fear such a re-occurrence, on his watch, and demonstrating his trust in his allies!
Well that and having a nuclear arsenal.
As a side note, I still think that Sciona is making a big mistake in her employee management skills. After what she did today (comic time) it will be difficult to get anyone else to work for her. Killing underlings just to prove you are a bad-ass is frowned upon in most circles, as well as leaving others stranded once she got what she wanted. When the details get to the managers at Minions-R-Us she will be put on the ‘does not play well with others’ list and they will stop taking her calls. The word will also get out to all the seedy bars and other wretched hives of scum and villainy that she can not be trusted.
Unfortunately she seems to have the power to be able force people into being her underlings. Not a great business model in the long run as it certainly would breed dissent and the lack of any moral or vested interest in her long term goals. But perhaps she has a way around that or simply does not need others assistance now for her own goals.
Fortunately, there will always be those who don’t give a shit about her reputation regarding (s)lackies but only look at what she can provide (before the inevitable betrayal, just a question of who betrays whom first)
Don’t forget that super villains tends to be megalomaniacs, over estimating themselves and under estimating both heroes and competing villains. So Sciona might not have that much of a problem recruiting as a lot of villains will assume that they can double cross her before she does it to them. And if she’s recruiting then it will be something big and well worth the effort having to kill her at the end.
Now if they could have a word with a survivor from her earlier heists they might think twice, but those tends to be hard to find. Wyrmil surviving was not according to plan, and reanimating and merging with Cooter was probably not something she could have even guessed would happen.
I think we are developing some spinoff material here.
Spinoff? So you are not shipping Wyrmcoot with Maxima then?
Am I the only one worried about the enchanted sickle and Maxima’s as-yet-undetermined resilience to mystical attack? Thus far, we have reason to suspect that vampiric mesmerism would have some effect if not deployed through a broken focus; and she *was* effected by the weakness aura, but it didn’t have enough chutzpah to knock her down to a point where she wasn’t still ridiculously strong. Don’t know what the sickle does, but I find myself concerned.
You are wise.
We can assume that the sickle is the Regenator, as Wyrmil makes reference to using that. So we know that it has restorative/regenerative powers. But if that is all it did it seems unlikely that Wyrmil would have chosen to take it out. It looks like he can still kick down a steel pressure door, even merged with a puny human, so it is unlikely he needs it for mundane poking purposes.
I am assuming, as some have above, that the scythe is one nasty weapon. Hopefully Maxima won’t lose an arm.
Unless she can regrow it, she’s fine
You know I was thinking. Coot is a monster hunter, stupid though he may be and Wyrmil has seriously been betrayed. Though they did break into the vault they were betrayed. Big time. They could be, potentially, in a position of your enemy is my enemy there for we are, well not friends but at least similar goals in mind. they just might work together if given halve a chance. Well more like 3/4’s of a chance it is Coot after all.
You really don’t need to get too complex for the cell phones. If the vault is shielded from outside cell phone connections (due to location or active shielding) all you need is a homebrew Stingray (end of the article)
(https://iicybersecurity.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/how-to-intercept-mobile-communications-calls-and-messages-easily-without-hacking/) which will act as a local BTS (Base Transmitting Station) and some software. The article says most is free and the hardware runs 500-1000 USD. A little setup and now all cell phones magically work but only in the local area. The homebrew Stingray can be configured to not pass any connections out.
Gotta say Im rather glad cooter is alive again and even happier that he’s Woot now. So much comedy potential here.
If you’ll permit me a (potentially) dumb question, Why does Cooter rate a “Who’s Who”-entry on this page, but not Wyrmil, when they’re still regarded as individuals? They might currently share a single body, but they seem to maintain separate thoughts, which implies (plot-wise, at-least) that they may still be able to physically separate at some later time.
Fair question. Dave usually defaults to leaving the Who’s Who as simple as possible though. The Who’s Who is actually dynamic, to allow for entries to change once past a spoiler point, so Dave could create a combined entry for them. But at the risk of giving spoilers (in this case implying that the arrangement is permanent). Throw in the extra time and it becomes less worthwhile.
Then factor in that Dave has to enter the Who’s Who update by typing in a code, meaning that he needs to track every variant of a character’s Who’s Who, and can potentially mix them up or end up with a null result. At which point you will appreciate why he favors keeping the entry simple. It is only meant to be an aid memoir, rather than a comprehensive bio.
Good to point it out though, as DaveB has lots to track and may simply not have thought about that.
On the cellular thing… yes, there are all kinds of apps that can communicate over WiFi, but it’s more likely that the building has its own, internal radio network.
One of the things going on in government and public safety right now is that agencies are deploying private LTE networks, essentially becoming their own cellular provider. We’ve actually had what amounts to private cellular networks for years, with multi-site trunking radio systems, but those are usually car mounted radios or handheld walkie-talkies. The new thing is public safety radios that are actually cell phones with a push to talk button that activates a dedicated app and talks over any data network.
So basically, the new police and military radios are just bad-ass smartphones. I’d assume that’s exactly the kind of thing a government agency would have at their disposal in their high-tech underground bunker.
Yep. Though this is a private group not a government agency they are also a rich private group and there’s nothing illegal about setting up your own cell network.
As if something being illegal would stop you from adding it into vault full of weapons of mass destruction.
They are using CB radio, alias ‘Council Band’ radio.
He should have phrased it “Breaker breaker Gold Mama. We got a Coot on the Loose.”
To be fair we DID see that dabbler could grab Max’s ass with her lower set of arms while glamored so her other arms having a physical impact still has precident
And their phones COULD also just have 2 way radios in them. Not a big stretch for people who do this shit a lot.
So… they’re stuck together forever?
Or does Wyrmil have a plan to separate from or devour Cooter?
Yes.
Err time will tell. But you have covered the major options.
And now this guy reminds me of the protagonist in Parasyte.
