Qtalda, I think, probably was the invisible person. You just can't keep a potential great villain down!  Speaking of which, is the Thin Man a (true) villain?  We've seen his side when he spoke to Maytag. What's the verdict?

I have to think it was Qtalda. Otherwise...that whole scene with the Conclave went down way too easily and anti-climatically.

The Thin Man's a villain.  I am pretty sure his motives are more ambiguous than what he makes them out to be and he's done some horrible wrongs.

Also what are the chances that The Thin Man's ability isn't to paint the truth but to read minds.  The paintings themselves could be part of a ruse (he may just have a talent for art) but his ability actually comes from reading thoughts and images from people's minds.  It would make it easier for him to figure out how to implant blood lust and other augmentations into people's brains as well as know exactly what to say to Maytag.  I mean that line about the world not being what it seemed like. That's very much Maytag territory.

Seems that The Thin Man really does know all the right buttons to push.  Don't get me wrong, it's been clear that maybe the Flipside world/The Thin Man's motives haven't been straightforward for a while but I didn't expect him to state his goals like this.

@Azure's priest: You can't really say that without doubt as nothing has been offered as collateral up front.  She's not willing to take Bern's word as that has no value to it.  The sword has value. She might be willing to accept that.  I think the bigger dilemma would be getting it back from her at the set price.

I think I know where this is going with her offering her sword as collateral (a one of a kind sword even one that doesn't work right is probably worth a good bit).  Probably the woman saves him.  He's still ungrateful to her but to top it off even when she does get the 800 gold the healer decides the sword is more valuable and decides to keep it unless she can meet the new price the healer wants for the sword.  The other option is that she beats up the guards and threatens the woman but that seems like a major breach of Bernadette's ethics.  I'm not sure she would go that far just to save her father.  Also...I have to wonder what's happening with Maytag.

Ok...maybe I was wrong about the bath water being enchanted.  her look at the end of that one page just seemed so distant...

As far as bern and her dad...good luck.  I'm kind of pessimistic about those situations but it's a comic so if the author wants him to make a recovery (at least long enough to redeem himself) he will....if the author doesn't we'll probably have a sad moment.

  Seems like it may be working similar to that pool trap they fell into when they first ran into Melter.  My bet is Melter's going to use the pool to get Regina to become aggressive in her desire for Maytag and while Maytag is trying to get her under control, he knocks her out somehow.  Regina remembers nothing and he escapes through a portal before anyone else sees them.  At least taht would be if it went according to plan...which it probably wont.

Depending on how long he was out. He could just be hungover...really badly hung over...which wouldn't really help his attitude anyways...if anything it makes him crankier while the headache keeps him from thinking clearly.

Not sure. So far the only people who sounds like they are capable of reversing what was done to Bloody Mary are the ones who did it to her.

All the other solutions you provide honestly seem like temporary solutions. I don't think she can survive long term without consuming human flesh (not pig flesh) or more than just some blood each day and I don't think any city would be willing to let her work as a mortician long term (if dead flesh even sates her appetite) or be oblivious to her presence around graveyards.  Wars lead to what happens during peace time?

So Suspiria's acting a bit funny. It may be just that she doesn't want people worrying over her (simple solution) or it could be something more devious (complex solution).

Well, Blackbird now knows who the "girlfriend" is. This could go bad very quickly.

She based her whole life around her vision of who he was and now it's being shattered around her. 

She based her entire life around what she assumed someone was like.  Now she's learning that he's an actual person and not this crazy ideal she's built up.  It's her own fault for building up someone she doesn't know at all into this paragon of what she wants to be.

Well you certainly are a negative person. I'm sure you at one point had someone that you looked up to. Someone you thought was perfect or as close to perfect as a human being could get.  You were probably lucky enough to see enough on this person either in the news or in your life that you eventually realized slowly that this person was not the perfect figure you once thought he was but put yourself in Bern's shoes where she had someone like that only instead of being able to slowly realize that he was not the person she thought he was it was all dropped on her all at once.  I think you'd be more than just a little upset yourself.

Bern's reaction here really bothers me.  Who is she to demand that her father do something or act a certain way.  She "thought the swords were important"?  She was handed them by some old guy who had just helped get her kicked out of the Knights and told "oh yeah that guy who gave you some training tons of years ago was your dad and has the matching sword."  She's reading a LOT into this situation and is, frankly, behaving like a child.  She had some ideal in her head of what she thought her father would be like and now that he's an actual person with his own troubles and life, she's upset that he didn't fit neatly into the way she expected him to be.

I understand this comment but I have trouble blaming her.  She based her whole life around her vision of who he was and now it's being shattered around her.  Considering that, she could be acting a lot worse right now.

  Wouldn't surprise me if he really did lose it but it would surprise me less if he had at some point thrown the sword in a ravine with disgust...or if he has it and just doesn't want Bern to follow in his bad footsteps.

But the cover looks for me like flashback of this guy's younger days, not current time, so he should be using two.

Edit:
Seeing the update, well the simpliest explenations seems to work the best than trying to find some crazy theories
So the guy thought that in fire the mother and also little Bern lost their lives, so no wonder he gone from there, and become a drunk...

Well he taught Bern a style that requires two swords so it's safe to assume that he himself is at least familiar with fighting with two swords.

It's probably that he thinks she's a prostitute but what are the chances that Alver is actually his landlord or something and he thinks he sent her to collect rent?  It's unlikely but if he caught a glimpse of her having a sword or something he may have thought that...the hitting on her could be a drunken ploy to get her to forget about collecting on the rent which he probably doesn't have in this scenario.

  I would have to think Bern's look is pretty recognizable with a bunch of red hair and as Blackbird would say a "Snow patch" but it almost looks like her father has her mistaken with someone else.

Headaches that can cripple you like that are NOT normal

You mean a migraine? =U

Migraines often have triggers like bright lights or loud sounds (sometimes even drinking alcohol.) They also have a well-defined history.

Suspira's headaches have a "cause unknown," manifest at random, are of prolonged duration, and have NO well-defined history.

Is it just me, or does Melter look a bit more effeminate now than during the "Bloddy Mary" and "Tower" arcs?

He does though that may just be that we're getting a better look at his face right now.

May's being all logical when Bern probably wants her to be there when she knocks on the door so she can meet them together.

 I imagine it will lead to an opportunity to try to capture May.  I don't think it's tracking so much in suspiria. She's been involved in a comedy performance that seems fairly big so it wouldn't have been difficult to find her without aid of Suspiria.

(Sigh) May, there ARE some things that are just "private."

Yes, your "personality is an act" thing is something that people won't understand.

It might be a good idea to ask Glyph to use his scouter on Suspira's head. Headaches that can cripple you like that are NOT normal, and if sorcery was used on her, he can, at least see the trail, if not determine the spell. (He showed this ability when Bern was fighting the two sorcerers in the tower.)

Actually this is true I was thinking of how The Thin Man doesn't leave any traces but this was Melter so there's a possibility something was left behind.

Don't see any reason why you should be unsettled

Neither do I which is weird.  I mean I guess he didn't give the best first impression but it wasn't that big of a deal for me and he's been fairly cool since.  Maybe I just think he's supposed to represent the wrong side of the argument.
