--- Quote from: wardenferry419 on October 27, 2017, 11:16:17 PM ---I am confused. Mouse wasn't in Summer Knight (SK). I don't recall Mouse confronting Nico in SG. If he did confront Nico while living at Michael's house; he might be using TWG power as a basis for his own power. WOJ is that Mouse went from being the Thing at Harry's apartment to a Hulk level upgrade at Michael's house. Those that know Marvel comics know how significant that is.

Sorry, my error, I've corrected it from SK to SG... and here's the quote.

(click to show/hide)Suddenly, there was an incoherent scream from behind one of the vans, and the vehicle rocked, as if something enormous had smashed against it. A second later, Mouse stepped out from behind the van, where its bulk was shielding him from the immediate aim of the slowly recovering squires. The Foo dog’s head was low, his body crouched and tensed, hackles raised, gleaming, sharp, freshly bloodied teeth bared. He was no more than a few feet from Nicodemus’s back, and at his appearance, Anduriel’s shadow form went berserk, flickering and twisting in a dozen directions at once, like a panicked animal running to the ends of its tether.

 So, my guessing that Mouse, using Michael's house as a place of power, could be able to cheat a power boost from a home that has a large family, guarded by angels, and where a former KotC resides. No wonder Anduriel was screaming with fear.

kazimmoinuddin:
I always thought nicodemus would go out with Harry grabbing the rope and force slamming him so hard his head pops off. Now, I am thinking that mouse gets the rope in his jaw a, and treats the Denarian as his own chew toy.

wardenferry419:
Nice visual.

SintraEdrien:
IIRC, in Ghost Story, Uriel addressed Mouse as "Little Brother" - at least in the context here, I see that as indicating Mouse to be an entity on similar to Uriel, lesser, restricted by rules/mortal bodily manifestation, but definitely able to interact with (aka, attack/hurt/harm/destroy) Anduriel.

Quote: "We* went through the door and were greeted by a low, warning rumble. A great mound of shaggy fur, lying beside the room's single, twin bed, rose to its feet."  Ghost Story, HC, pg. 467.

* the "we" is Uriel and Harry, operating in a certainly "spiritual/angelic" state of existence, differing from a "ghostly" plane of existence, yet one that Mouse clearly sees and operates on, and imo also the same plane of existence that Andurial exists on- at first, Mouse is warning the intruders with his growl, before he recognizes them. (possibly a hint of the kind of protection Maggie needs or might end up needing?)

Quote: " "What has begun must finish, little brother," Uriel said. "Your task here is not yet over." " ibid.

Uriel wouldn't use that form of address if it weren't truth. Also (as a side-note), Mouse is communicating with Uriel, but Harry still can't hear what he is saying, even though he gets to hear Uriel's answer.
