Chapter 23: Discussion

Why yes. Yes, she was in an intermission.

Given the page number, she must be pure evil.

Pure delicious evil. Yum.

Some interesting foreshadowing. I guess Maytag wasn't "good". 

[Kamui]

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.   

[akashayi]

They must know that she knows Moss, right?

Either way, sharp as ever, May.

[Kiran]

Well we saw Moss with these twins earlier at some panel.

Maybe he didn't tell them he knows her, so Fata M might get another surprise beside May behaviour.

Moss info is outdated, currently May biggest strenght and weakness at the same time is Bern.

Still I wonder what's the deal with May outfit, she was nude, but these clothes are illusion in which May belives so they exist,right?

Cause Fata M can't be so powerful to create solid something from nowhere.

Also as I recall this panel with Glyph face rather prooves he's not with this new group, he was rather shocked at beginning as everyone else beside May.

Well, if they read her memories for Regina and Umber, they would have seen Moss too, wouldn't they?
But then...if they knew Moss was there, why not tell May? Even if they were trying to hide it, you'd think FM would know mentioning the weakness bit would be a dead giveaway.
Unless she only probed the memories for possible people she was sexually attracted to.

Right now I'm going to say they don't know Moss and Maytag know each other.

I'd guess Maytag had spare clothes in her d-bag.

The truth is that Maytag really isn't there. That it's another one of Fata's illusions and that Fata is actually talking to herself.

Boy, that's a cool power to have if you have a habit of talking to yourself. It would make people around you think you're sane.

Hehehe, I just cracked up over here.

And, it could still be an illusion, not another set of clothes. If you can trick your mind into thinking it's seeing something, it's simple to think that you could trick the mind into thinking it's feeling, or smelling, or hearing something it's not as well.

[Darque]

Hmm...so if Maytag has overcome her previous weakness, does that mean Moss will see another kind of weakness when he next beholds her?  Provided she HAS any weaknesses anymore. 
(Bah, "promiscuity".  You call THAT a weakness?!)

[Rava]

I wonder what kind of creature Fata Morgana is, or is it just a trick, the missing lower body...

Shure, she has overcome her weakness? Moss also could not break her before.
But well, that was with her costume on.

I think you might be right.. granted I see Maytag as having many weaknesses. She strikes me as a passionate person, someone who feels things very deeply - whether it be love, lust, pain or even fear which leaves her open to many weaknesses. But she has the unusual ability of acknowledging these feelings in such a way that they lose their hold over her. It's like she can say "Okay.. I am feeling this.. I acknowledge this.. and now I am going to move past it." And she actually does. Granted she can certainly be killed, or out smarted, crippled, ect.. but there may be almost no situations where she can't subsume the emotions that would overwhelm a different person and then regain her mind to intelligently deal with the situation.

[charles]

I'm still betting that all/most of the people working for/with Danzig are cursed in some way.  Much like Moss.

Hard to say how many of Maytag's memories they read.  You'd think that surely they target certain areas rather than try to soak in someone's full life, so if Fata was informed of Maytag's promiscuity, she may have only done a search for the people Maytag is most attracted to, together with what her fantasies and desires are.

*meh* or Fata's mentioning and setting this up on purpose in order to reintroduce Maytag and Moss to each other... Gotta love someone who fucks with minds 

[CrystalDragonSpaceMarine]

Wouldn't it be interesting if Fata, like, wasn't real?

Like she was cursed to just be illusions and can't actually affect anything.

[Oddball]

Hmm intresting instead of a ship of the dammed a B & B of the cursed  sounds like a fun place to visit but not to stay.

[JewelOfSong]

Guess we aren't going to see Moss just yet. 

And I do wonder where Fata Morgana is going with this "sexual deviancy" thing.

[Darque]

Oh brother, did she just liken homosexuality to incest, bestiality, pedophilia and necrophilia? 
Right or wrong in her views, she just opened a can of worms.
(Intentional sidestepping of stating own opinion)

[CrystalDragonSpaceMarine]

Grr! Stop filibustering and bring Moss back already! 

[Kiran]

Hmm, I wonder what Fata wants to win with such talk...

She won't shock or discourage May or anything.

Maybe it would work on Bern saying she's weird cause she's lesbian but May?

Blind shot?

[Oddball]

trying to get some sort of reaction out of May I think.  So far all atempts have failed so why not make May angry some how.

[JewelOfSong]

Good point. If they really do want Maytag to enter Dark Cell, she probably needs to be unflappable.

[CrystalDragonSpaceMarine]

That makes sense. Rag on her sexual identity and views and make misconceptions and try to get her to freak out and correct you.

Ah, but she only likened homosexuality to those things only from the standpoint of how those who are against homosexuality treats it. Is it wrong to conclude that those who are against it, places it in the same category as incest, pedophilia and the sort? For them, you can even add in polygamy. She's not giving her opinion on homosexuality.

[WingZero0ne]

interesting outlook, but i wonder, why she would bring up such a thing....? it's interesting, perhaps this bring up May's homosexuality(bisexuality if you will) in efforts to cause, yet again, conflict between bern and herself? i wonder if moss will reveal bern'sweakness and bring out something new. but hell what do i know.

[parameciumkid]

I foresee in the near future the scene where Maytag and FM have sex.

[WingZero0ne]

maytag already rejected regina and umber, albeit they were both fake, and she's a nympho soooo it's possible but so far i'm not convinced. although moss's crazy torture spells would be fun to see again... nothing like torturing one's enemies until they scream death

[charles]

hmmm, I think Fata is on to something here.

At first I thought she might be trying to win Maytag over to their side.  Note how sexual deviants, such as Maytag herself, are generally shunned by society then bring it around to how the cursed are also shunned and rejected by it.  Try to establish some common ground between them all.

But now I'm thinking she's taking a different approach to attacking Maytag's weakness.  Instead she's now probing/attacking her opinions on but subject and seeing if she can get a rise out of her like that... Interesting.

[Xekstrin]

All I can see are Fata's eyes but... those are some sexy eyes. DAMN. I like her already.

However, those deviancies are not even remotely the same to same-sex relationships.  Most of them either inherently lack consent, or would regularly lack consent due to the power imbalances.  The same thing got touched on a while back in Faans, though in that case it was being compared to a menage a trois.
