Questions for Jim 2012 style 2

<< < (40/81) > >>

KevinSig:
When did Susan leave everyone else?  Did she break off during the fight with Arianna, or was it afterwards?  I can't find any clear citation that indicates she's with everyone else, after the point where Harry agrees to fight Arianna.

Anyway, the answer is, Ivy retains spoken words when they are intended to be a form of recorded information; that is, the oral traditions of teaching from times before writing was convenient, or spoken epics, memorized stories like fables, stuff like that. When the words being spoken are intended to be stored in the listener's memory, basically, as written words are intended to be stored on the pages of books.

I'd hazard a guess that she also gets the occasional seminar or lecture as well. (And, gack! All the awful, awful presentation slides. In addition to the greater horror that is the internet.)

Wait-a-minute.....
Ivy is *how* old? (~4, as of SF.)  And we think SF is approximately the year 2000?
When did the internet start to explode in popularity?
Circa 1996 as the year(s) of the previous Archives' demises is looking very suspicious.

To make it an Official Question:
Did the rise of the Internet play a role in Ivy's mother's craziness?

How much of a threshold did Anna Ash have in her apartment?  She lived alone, and yet her threshold did quite the number on Harry's power.  Back in SK, Elaine entered Harry's apartment and easily lit the fire and then, later, put up a veil she knew would hide her from Morgan and another warden, while still inside.  I don't recall her ever getting the invite from Harry, so she had to have left some power at the door, hadn't she?

She didnt veil until right when she was leaving, and he was holding the door for her.  So possibilities are that either she was already past the threshold and just not in view of the street, or that there was an implied invitation at some point during the conversation.  But its a good clarification to ask, Im curious if such implications are enough to constitute the invitation or if they need to be spoken directly.

AcornArmy:
Did Harry ever actually lift his wards in Small Favor, when he was half-frozen after returning from the train station? It was just assumed that he had, but the description of that scene in the book never mentioned anything about him doing it. His brain was so frozen that all he thought about was that Luccio wanted inside his apartment, so he opened the door for her like a gentleman. But he never mentions his wards, which seemed odd, since everyone around him was clearly trying to remind him of the wards and asking him to take them down so they could get in.

Anyway, I was just wondering if something unusual happened there and we were never quite shown what it was.
