[8:25 PM] upguntha: I just giggled abour bronnies freaking out
[8:26 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:26 PM] upguntha: it's been awhile since we saw dead bodies that was fun
[8:27 PM] joe_eisma: well, dead bodies are our bread and butter, after all
[8:27 PM] joe_eisma: i'll also say that with this issue, i really regretted giving ellen dreadlocks
[8:28 PM] joe_eisma: drawing those over and over killed me
[8:28 PM] upguntha: Poor Tuna is going to get punished for other people's crap
[8:28 PM] upguntha: haha
[8:29 PM] upguntha: That radio thing still has me baffled
[8:29 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:30 PM] upguntha: prob some otjer timey wimwey thing
[8:30 PM] upguntha: Congrats on new book Joe
[8:31 PM] joe_eisma: thanks!  i'm a big nerd for big trouble in little china
[8:32 PM] upguntha: is it an ongoing or a mini
[8:32 PM] joe_eisma: it's an arc of the ongoing series
[8:32 PM] upguntha: ah ok
[8:33 PM] upguntha: it must be nice not drawing devious children
[8:33 PM] joe_eisma: haha changing it up is always good
[8:33 PM] joe_eisma: but i'm sure to sneak some MG things in the book
[8:34 PM] upguntha: easter egg hunt
[8:34 PM] theirastra: well now we all need to buy it as well, then
[8:34 PM] joe_eisma: yup!
[8:34 PM] joe_eisma: i know the focus is really on the students in this book
[8:35 PM] joe_eisma: but i think this issue really spotlighted the adults really effectively
[8:35 PM] joe_eisma: i mean, how creepy was oliver? :)
[8:36 PM] mairelon: i wanted to throw a book at Oliver
[8:36 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:36 PM] upguntha: I really want to know what hid deal is
[8:36 PM] macey: vanessa shut him down so quick that was great
[8:36 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:37 PM] upguntha: Him and his proximity effect tests
[8:38 PM] upguntha: I wonder why he's allowed to talk to Ian but Ellen is under supervision
[8:38 PM] joe_eisma: good question
[8:38 PM] upguntha: I don;t buy Hodge's logic
[8:39 PM] macey: i figured it's just because he's a horrible father
[8:39 PM] nick: hey all
[8:39 PM] upguntha: lol
[8:39 PM] oreoguy55: hi
[8:39 PM] upguntha: heyyyy
[8:40 PM] philmaira: hey
[8:41 PM] macey: good evening
[8:41 PM] upguntha: Wonder why the guards couldn;t follow them to Egypt
[8:42 PM] mairelon: I'm just glad to know what country they are in there.
[8:42 PM] macey: i got the impression that was one of the weird ambiguous rules of the game
[8:43 PM] upguntha: That's prob why Daramount was proud of herself when she found the camp in 25
[8:45 PM] philmaira: nick, I was wondering about 4th dimensional objects. What size would something that exists simultanously within 4 dimensions be?
[8:45 PM] philmaira: A story like, the cylander? A plank since it does not need to follow the conventions as described by the 2 Simons.
[8:46 PM] philmaira: Or the sizes a galaxy or cluster of galaxies since an object that can bend time may be in proporation to it's effect on space?
[8:47 PM] upguntha: I miss Study Hall
[8:47 PM] joe_eisma: yeah, matt said he's sorry he didn't post it.
[8:47 PM] joe_eisma: this was his exact text to me:
[8:47 PM] joe_eisma: if anyone asks in the chat tonight will you tell them it’s because i’m super depressed lately?like, up all night crying depressed
[8:47 PM] philmaira: Or should it be taken as literal that characters within the 2nd dimenional are discussing the 4th
[8:48 PM] macey: yeah i'm not going to hold it against matt, it's not like a comic book should be his first priority
[8:48 PM] upguntha: oh wow. sorry to hear that, hope he's ok
[8:49 PM] joe_eisma: haha--i just told him what you guys said
[8:50 PM] joe_eisma: he says 'ugh. fine. i'll write it.'  :)
[8:50 PM] joe_eisma: he's just been busy on the job hunt lately, i think.
[8:51 PM] nick: Phil- yeah, it would very much depend! You see a bit in both directions here
[8:51 PM] yuuhy: So Egypt! Camp has a physical location! That is exciting!
[8:51 PM] upguntha: Are we to assume that Accra was a reference to Esi?
[8:52 PM] nick: You can safely assume that's a reference to Esi, yes
[8:52 PM] macey: i was just excited about accra because yay cities but- huh
[8:52 PM] nick: And yeah, everybody send Matt good thoughts
[8:52 PM] macey: nick, are you implying esi was a camp kid this whole time
[8:52 PM] upguntha: How many people did Clarkson talk to?
[8:52 PM] nick: nope :)
[8:53 PM] upguntha: Are those army guys from arc 5, where Clarkson got that radio??
[8:53 PM] McFiznu: hello
[8:55 PM] nick: As far as Clarkson goes, we're still filling in the blanks of what we saw in 26
[8:55 PM] nick: that's actually a big focus of the next two issues as well
[8:56 PM] philmaira: casino?
[8:56 PM] upguntha: Can't wait to se how they all connect espcially that scene with Jade's mom
[8:56 PM] nick: Casino is a bit farther out- that's a big one
[8:57 PM] joe_eisma: i'm surprised no one on tumblr has posted those montage pages from 26 and ticked off the ones we expanded on
[8:57 PM] upguntha: yet
[8:57 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:57 PM] macey: you're just tempting upguntha
[8:57 PM] mairelon: ive been sitting here planning to do that actually
[8:57 PM] nick: By the time we get to season 3 you'll have most of them
[8:57 PM] theirastra: and tomorrow everyone posts one!
[8:58 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[8:58 PM] macey: ah i was wondering that, there was a time when i thought you might tick them all off by the end of the season
[8:58 PM] upguntha: I was thinking about today but got lazy
[8:59 PM] macey: my favorite part in this issue was that clarkson was just sitting in the dark for some period of time before ellen walks in
[8:59 PM] nick: haha
[8:59 PM] upguntha: major creeper
[8:59 PM] theirastra: you've got to set the mood~
[9:00 PM] upguntha: that one second
[9:00 PM] upguntha: was bad ass
[9:00 PM] theirastra: got your wifi back, Beth?
[9:00 PM] macey: clarkson is absolutely killing it this entire issue, yeah
[9:01 PM] mairelon: I'm actually on a bus so signal is a bit all over the place, but I'm back for now!
[9:01 PM] yuuhy: So what does everybody think is going on with the phone?
[9:01 PM] macey: beth you are going all out to be here i appreciate it
[9:01 PM] joe_eisma: we gave you the answer in MG Babies, yuuhy!
[9:01 PM] macey: i think the radio is a construct powered by belief and if you want to get especially wrinkle in time, love
[9:02 PM] macey: but mostly belief
[9:02 PM] nick: interesting theory
[9:03 PM] upguntha: It came to here right when she needed it
[9:03 PM] macey: http://the-toast.net/2014/10/28/dirtbag-mrs-whatsit/ im obliged to share this whenever i mention wrinkle
[9:04 PM] upguntha: i loved Ellen faces when she found out about Brendan
[9:04 PM] nick: ha, macey, that is awesome
[9:05 PM] nick: perfect summary
[9:05 PM] yuuhy: "Boy???"
[9:07 PM] macey: the toast is doing a series of discussions on the time quartet too that are really good...but that is the most important
[9:08 PM] upguntha: that was hillarious
[9:08 PM] joe_eisma: i've got to go pack for emerald city, but thanks for being here tonight, folks! and thanks for reading!
[9:08 PM] philmaira: Ms. Richmond kinda freaked a little too much out. What would happen if 2 of the god's in training had a kid together?
[9:08 PM] joe_eisma: i am done drawing 45, and it's a fun one.  hope you like sandwiches!
[9:08 PM] mairelon: I'm so excited for Jade Sandwiches.
[9:08 PM] upguntha: Have fun at ECC
[9:08 PM] nick: joe really nailed the sandwiches
[9:08 PM] joe_eisma: haha
[9:09 PM] macey: an entire issue of jade eating sandwiches....it's so beautiful
[9:09 PM] joe_eisma: actually one tidbit about that
[9:09 PM] macey: have a good time joe!
[9:09 PM] theirastra: I keep thinking sandwiches is code for something?
[9:09 PM] mairelon: I hope they're vegan.
[9:09 PM] joe_eisma: nick just had someone give her the sandwich and that was it
[9:09 PM] upguntha: tumblr about Jade eating
[9:09 PM] joe_eisma: i thought it would be fun for her to eat it throughout the rest of the issue.
[9:09 PM] joe_eisma: haha okay, i'm done.  see you guys next time!
[9:09 PM] theirastra: have fun!
[9:10 PM] mairelon: bye!!
[9:10 PM] upguntha: night
[9:10 PM] McFiznu: see you.
[9:10 PM] nick: as he mentioned, next month is a jade issue
[9:11 PM] macey: there's that panel of jade denying cookies too....
[9:11 PM] macey: 45 will tell us so much about jade's food preferences
[9:11 PM] yuuhy: Jade!! Sweet kidnapped child.
[9:11 PM] nick: and the month after that, it's someone we have seen for quite a while--
[9:12 PM] theirastra: ooooooo~
[9:12 PM] macey: i bet it's albert
[9:12 PM] upguntha: have or havent
[9:12 PM] nick: then we're into the big season finale arc
[9:12 PM] nick: sorry, haven't
[9:12 PM] mairelon: that is terrifying.
[9:12 PM] yuuhy: I bet it's an entire issue of Albert driving people.
[9:13 PM] macey: that issue would probably be so informative though
[9:13 PM] upguntha: that scene in issue 1 when Jade's dad couldnt remember her name is it cause of academie or he's an ass?
[9:13 PM] yuuhy: This is us, not daring to hope.
[9:13 PM] nick: ha, definitely not just him being an ass
[9:13 PM] nick: any last questions on this one?
[9:14 PM] upguntha: Julie Hayes swoonnnnn
[9:14 PM] macey: so if esi is from ghana can you tell us where hannah and andres are from?
[9:14 PM] upguntha: Did Clarkson vivit Magie
[9:14 PM] nick: Esi- Ghana, Andres- Mexico, Hannah- Northern Ireland
[9:14 PM] yuuhy: Is Vanessa's cat doll safe and sond?
[9:15 PM] McFiznu: is the broken phone working because its not broken enough, or some other reason?
[9:15 PM] macey: hannah had a cute irish accent this whole time and we never knew............
[9:15 PM] mairelon: ellen was surprised that clarkson had parents. do many of the other students have normal parents?
[9:15 PM] nick: lots more about the phone on the way, we've been setting that thing up a long time
[9:16 PM] theirastra: honestly this just makes hannah even better. all her dialogue with that accent...
[9:16 PM] upguntha: ET phone honw
[9:16 PM] upguntha: home*
[9:17 PM] philmaira: so Irina is #46?
[9:17 PM] nick: ellen's surprise is, to me, all about her views on what Clarkson is
[9:18 PM] nick: she obviously views her differently than we do since she doesn't know anything about Casey
[9:18 PM] nick: Irina is in 46, I'll go ahead and spoil that, sure :)
[9:18 PM] yuuhy: IRINA
[9:19 PM] macey: spoiler alert it's just a one panel flashback
[9:19 PM] McFiznu: yeaahhh!!!
[9:19 PM] yuuhy: IRINA!!!!

[9:19 PM] upguntha: Can someone go check if Macey is breathing
[9:19 PM] yuuhy: but macey. irina.
[9:19 PM] macey: can't fool me nick. can't fool me
[9:19 PM] yuuhy: MACEY, IRINA.
[9:19 PM] upguntha: Is there a reason why Abraham choose Egypt?
[9:20 PM] nick: we don't know that Abraham chose it!
[9:20 PM] philmaira: Clarkson is a psuedo-4th dimensional entity, similar to Vonnegut's tralfamadorian? They know all the beginning and all the end. To them time is a decimal point
[9:21 PM] philmaira: The above rambling is the explain Ms. Richmond's awe of Ms. Clarkson
[9:21 PM] upguntha: touche
[9:21 PM] yuuhy: i wanna say the significance is promised land but
[9:21 PM] nick: we've certainly hinted some things in line with that, especially over s2
[9:22 PM] upguntha: Wonder how Clarkson is getting those names
[9:22 PM] upguntha: she seems to randomly get them
[9:22 PM] yuuhy: I had guessed from Lara
[9:22 PM] nick: okay, well, I gotta run- hope you liked the issue, 45 will be out next month!
[9:23 PM] yuuhy: Bye!
[9:23 PM] philmaira: Probably from Akiko's dad. That's why he jumped.

[9:24 PM] theirastra: same here
[9:24 PM] macey: knowing lara maybe she figured out a way for new info to appear over time or something
[9:24 PM] macey: it's a tiny panel of her in the corner of the page taken from a previous issue
[9:24 PM] upguntha: maybe
[9:24 PM] mairelon: a photo on the wall in an office
[9:25 PM] McFiznu: as soon as lara says she doesnt think vanessa is challenging enough, i wonder what vanessas motives are
[9:25 PM] theirastra: a photo in a wallet in the background of a small panel
[9:25 PM] yuuhy: a whole tiny old panel of irina not even appearing in person <3 <3 <3
[9:25 PM] macey: georgina has a picture of irina in her wallet to shake her fist at whenever she feels like hating something

[9:26 PM] upguntha: lat month nick said 46 was the Party maybe Irina crashes it
[9:27 PM] macey: i'm genuinely so excited for the casey/isabel debate
[9:27 PM] macey: has irina even ever been to a party. does she know how to party in a non violent matter
[9:27 PM] theirastra: is it really a party without any deadly weapons?
[9:28 PM] mairelon: i hope there&#39;s a piñata there for her
[9:29 PM] upguntha: Pamela will prob want to smash the pinata
[9:30 PM] upguntha: I wonder f Clarksaon had any interactions with Guillaume
[9:31 PM] McFiznu: are there no more Study Halls?
[9:31 PM] macey: yeah i wonder how this party will work, if it'll be in hiding or mga will let it happen as a sort of official election thing
[9:32 PM] yuuhy: I have so much angst about us not seeing Guillaume's origin story yet.
[9:33 PM] yuuhy: speaking of guillaume, jade.
[9:33 PM] mairelon: i love her. so so much.
[9:34 PM] yuuhy: If she's eating a sandwich in present day, hopefully that means she successfully kicks Jun in the face and gets out of there.
[9:34 PM] yuuhy: speaking of amazing and beautiful, vanessa interrupting oliver simon
[9:34 PM] upguntha: they prob feed her once in awhile for  her last meal
[9:34 PM] macey: i can't wait for vanessa to slay the science fair but i will def wait for her to go to the basement

[9:46 PM] macey: where do they even get all those guards
[9:46 PM] McFiznu: they have great beards.
[9:47 PM] upguntha: they're all clones
[9:48 PM] yuuhy: i wonder how many of them are readers or joe's friends this time
