Prison Warden posted:Yeah Zack covered it in comments and such. When a Spectral does his spirit fusion, he goes into his weird slowed down time headspace, but he still moves and acts in the real world, superhumanly fast. All the stuff that appears in the spirit-zone are also 100% real to the spectral. When Issac entered his and there was a huge hole in the wall he could've literally just walked straight out the building. So basically Accel World? I can dig that. And the possibility of Manvil getting defeated increases.

I mean Manvil is a spirit right, who says that he isn't really just a flame spirit piloting a metal body he has been reinforcing over the centuries? This is all some weird setup between himself and Spencer that they made up on the spot in order to draw out the immortal sprite dog. He'll fake his death and after Spencer subdues the dog he'll just pick his head up and put it back on his body and keep on being awesome.

Captain Oblivious posted:No he has a point. You don't get to be all self righteous about doing the right thing 15 seconds after maiming a living being in order to (attempt to) make a getaway. It's kind of both ways on this one. Forge didn't know there were kids on the train until after he sent it rampaging, and he assumed that Spender would be more interested in his only means of transportation than on stray poltergeist. And the train is still a spirit so it's not like he maimed an actual human or something and tried to force a dilema of "do I take them to get healing or stay and fight" onto Spender. It's putting the needs of the many vs the needs of the few on both cases. But I'm inclined to agree with Forge here only because we are privy to the fact that those pixel beasts can re-spawn, I don't think Spender is even aware of that fact. Forge was acting desperate because he was told that Spender would be the one to end him and he knows that darker forces are at play. Spender thinks that Forge is that darker force and is acting accordingly. From a story perspective both characters are acting logically for the greater good, it's just the case that right now Spender is more blinded by his own sense of justice than Forge appears too be. Forge did warn him of the monster's deceit and Spender chose to ignore that and instead fight the evil(?) spirit. I mean when a guy tells me that we've both been had and that he wants me to step aside to attack some unknown thing behind me, I can understand feeling like this is a trap but Forge clearly communicated that he didn't want a fight and Spender forced the issue.

Roland Jones posted:Forge is also a spirit, though, so that point is kind of silly. If it were just "humans > spirits" Forge wouldn't be attacking Spender at all. Forge maimed a being like himself, and one that may or may not have had others on it as well, so that he could get away. Even ignoring the Ghost Train's sentience and possible sapience, though, Forge derailed a train and his justification is "well I didn't know there were kids on that train". My point is that harming a spiritual entity isn't the same as harming a human. Most people I know can't regenerate themselves from spirit energy when harmed, or put themselves into healing trances while possessing mundane objects if they break a leg. Yes the train possesses emotions and awareness of its' body, but at the risk of sounding callous it will be fine.

Unless I'm missing something, Eightfold is just falling out of a fast moving poltergeist train. Is that really enough to destroy the tool it's bound too? At worse Isabel is going to be separated from Eightfold for a long time if not indefinitely, but I think Eightfold will at least survive the fall and is just giving some last minute coaching to help Isabel out.

Dolash posted:Also it's interesting to see people are already getting cabin fever in Mayview. Francisco's being suspicious, when he says he's not trapped does he mean because he's where he wants to be or that he has another way in and out? Only half his students came in via train, after all. It could just mean that his goal has always been to stay close to Mayview so not being able to leave doesn't affect him.

Those toys don't look all that creepy though? Certainly in the eyes of a 13yo who just found themselves possessed by a ghost I can see it being terrifying, but even the clown doll looks pretty benign from what I'm used too. It quite literally just looks like a play place complete with a child's rug on the floor.

A Sometimes Food posted:Look at the toys in the last panel hanging from the ceiling. That would be the very tame clown doll I was referring too even with the ominous positioning. I don't imagine Dimitri is being insincere about not being afraid of Peeka anymore, but definitely when things started out it was probably a real fear. fake edit: and yeah having body morphing powers that makes you look like something out of John Carpenter's 'The Thing' is probably the real source of terror.

RareAcumen posted:Using a tool is weakness. You shouldn't need anything besides your own inner strength. I get his overall philosophy and his intention of weaning Isabel off tools. But if you wanted to give someone a useless ability, one that has easily understood combat applications and utility is a bad idea. Maybe he needed to give her a tool that lets her summon bacon or something.
