I mean, attacking her would be pretty damned moronic of them.  The only real solution would be for Suspiria to do whatever's needed to properly get her powers in check.  Fighting her would be the worst call they could make, they also know that she's warping stuff without conscious effort and apparently figure the best idea is to shit-talk her?  Moby and the others aren't exactly being very smart right now.  One characteristic that we DO know that Crest had from the start was his analytical mind, and he's retained that as well even when outside of Suspiria's range, so he's the most likely one to go "shut up, this isn't the time to go poking the tiger with a stick, this is the time to figure out what the tiger needs in order to be sated."

I'd wager that the reality alteration only works locally, including the altering of memories.  After all, the brain is basically just a jumble of chemicals and electric impulses firing, so magic could potentially tweak stuff so that your memories get rewritten a bit.  It's actually possible that any rewriting of memories she does is just temporary, and requires her constant presence even.  Hence why the only one that's continually affected by the physical/mental changes is Suspiria herself.  And why stuff is constantly changing in the town so long as she's there.  I'd ALSO wager that the reason that everyone was acting so strangely?  Was because Suspiria was subconsciously influencing their minds.  Whatever traits she felt was their "true" self, and whatever she interpreted as the cause/reason for their actions in the past, particularly regarding Suspiria, is what became their most prominent traits and what they decided was why they did the things they did.

Glyph for example didn't seem the type to feel bad over being a pervert, and Moby went way further than she did before with Crest.  Meanwhile Crest SEEMS to be mostly unaffected, but it might be because Suspiria considers him to be calm and collected, which isn't too far off from how he's appeared to us as readers.  Basically everyone's acting how Suspiria thinks they would act due to her influence, and stuff she can't remember or doesn't pay much attention to in the town is changing from day to day.

I believe that what p24 states is that Suspiria subconsciously alters reality to suit her perception of it.  This supposedly extends not only to herself, but to stuff around her as well.  AKA she COULD be what's been causing the town the group's currently in to be wonky, and she could've subconsciously altered the minds of the Enclave present to suit her reality as well.  Basically if Melter is to be believed, then Suspiria changes reality itself according to what she believes to be true without any active effort on her part.

I mean, technically there's a lot you could gain from lying to Suspiria, Melter.  You said yourself that she's already gotten the power to subconsciously warp actual reality to suit what she perceives to be reality, so that alone would be an incentive.  There's also the question of WHY you're telling the group all this, and what you plan to do afterwards.  If you want Suspiria to turn herself over to you to take those dissolving tests, well that's certainly something where going "we're the only ones that know what's going on" would be a huge help.

Finally, one question still has not been answered.  Are Suspiria's parents ACTUALLY alive?  And if so, why did she believe that the Enclave had killed them and thus do her reality warping deal to make the Enclave "admit" to it?  And if they had killed Suspiria's parents for whatever reason, the Qtalda or whatever her name was (the masked lady) most certainly would have strong incentive to make those that would be sympathetic to Suspiria turn against her or question her sanity.  Main thing we need to know is why Suspiria thought her parents were dead, and why she believed it was the Enclave that killed them.

"I could care less about your problems."

Come on Brion, the phrase is couldn't care less.  Regarding the story, it's getting interesting, wonder what Bern's reaction will be.

I think Kismet is just a phrase that means "Good!" or something similar, kinda like Bueno is in Spanish.  Also, was reading back through the chapter, and dunno if anyone mentioned this earlier, but on page 13, panel 3, we're seeing the left side of baldy's head, but don't see his tattoo.  Disregard, saw there is a mistake thread, shall hunt through that.

Just wanted to come out of lurk to say "HELL YEAH CREST!"  Is nice to see him developing some, no longer just being the tag-along.  Also is fun to see him and Suspiria getting closer.  And now back to lurking.

Raise your hand if you thought "Wait, whose funeral?" and then felt bad after reading the rest of the page.  *Raises hand.*

...WAIT! Has Glyph Nullified just the electric spell against him, or the whole staff?

Honestly, I could see it going either way, but if he just nullified the shock then I wouldn't consider Danzig "beaten" as soundly as Moss is implying, so it's possible that the staff itself was just disenchanted from the nullification that Glyph activated.

Is it just me, or am I the only one that noticed that Moss just gave Maytag a nice bit of info?  The fact that the Thin Man could experiment on Bern tells May a couple of things: 1) That she is in a place where he can easily access Bern, and 2) That Moss (and likely the others) are aware of this, and thus it's possible that they are working with the Thin Man.  Moss may actually still be trying to help May in his own way.  He knows the area better than her, and most likely knows that she wouldn't be able to escape just by getting out of the cell.

I hope that Moss is doing this for a bigger reason than to screw with her head, I really do.  I hoped that he was going to be one of the good guys, and it'd be a shame to miss out on a new potential character to add to the Flipside protagonist team :/

Nice use of meaningful names there Brion.  For those that don't know, Fata Morgana is the Italian translation of Morgan le Fay, the shapeshifting half-sis of King Arthur.  Right now I'm just wondering if it really is gonna be Moss coming out of that door, or if Brion is just trolling us.  Either way, it'll be fun.   ;D

Jeez, it really is true, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere.  I wonder what "Regina's" reply will be when May tells her that she's now a monogamist.

It greatly amuses me that Crest is shattering all of Suspiria's preconceptions, and he doesn't even know that much about magic.  Although, the fact he hasn't had the same things drilled into his head as Suspiria probably helps him quite a bit, that and his free thinking.  I sense that within a couple of chapters Crest and Nessy are gonna get quite a bit closer :3

Hmm, I'm guessing it's either Bern trying to be more open, or magic bath, either way, this should prove very interesting...

Ten bucks says Glyph gets horribly, horribly mauled or at the very least injured in some way within 3 panels of the next page.

Yeah, no wars please.  I much prefer pacifism.  *Sucks on a binky like Maggie Simpson.*  Oh wait, that's not quite right.  Anyway, I appreciate good character quirks as much as the next reader.  I guess I just find it a funny combination of mildly irritating and amusing that Bern seems to, at least in my opinion, want the people she meets to change in order to suit her personal preferences.

For someone who I assume has done quite a bit of travelling and seen that the planet (or at least what she has seen of it) has a wide variety of people, lifestyles, personalities, and opinions, she certainly appears to be just a smidge judgmental.  The truly hilarious/curious part, at least to me, is that Bern's relationship with May is considered an aberration by the knights, the people with whom her ideals most closely coincide.

However, because the relationship with May was so important to her, she decided to turn her back on the Normalcy Police, thereby recognizing that she has her own unique personality and preferences, and that changing herself to fit the needs of another/a group is not only quite difficult, but sometimes impossible.  I very much look forward to seeing just how Bern develops as a character, and hope that she will eventually come to terms with the facts that people aren't going to bend over backwards to please her.

"I dislike accepting things as they are, everything and everyone should conform themselves to what I consider to be correct.  I dislike things which I do not understand, and have no desire to learn about said things unless I need to fight them."

Hey, guess who I am, come on, guess!

Note: I don't normally do things like this, but her attitude is irking me just a bit >_>

I'm getting an odd feeling that those two girls are going to try to seduce and/or kill Crest...  I wonder why >.>

Well, she helped her parents out in their restaraunt until she was at least 13 years old, so she'd probably have some cooking experience and general tasks in such an establishment also involve cleaning, etc.

Point taken, but while it's a good possibility Glyph might know about Suspiria's past, I somewhat doubt she told Crest her life story while they had alone time, and Crest was the one voicing his opinion on who'd make a good wife.  Given the information he has, I'd likely make the same call as he on the wife question, although I do think Suspiria is hotter.

Silly Suspiria, the characters haven't known you that long, so they don't really know how you'd do in a long term relationship.  They also have no clue if you can cook or anything, and being able to do household basics is something of which both parties in a marriage should be slightly capable.

So Bern smacks them purely for thinking May is hot?  Yay logical thought processes!
