How did Cowl survive the Dark Hollow?

I think this one we have a reasonably solid answer implied in the text, though; Cowl and Kumori are very quick at disappearing into the NN when faced by the Alphas earlier in DB.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

As a side note, we have WoJ that Sue will rise again.

And what are the odds that after I wake up (I'm about to go to sleep) I'm going to find several pages of questions waiting for me?

Lol.  This topic is a long time in waiting.

Eventually organizing them by topic might be a good idea...

True, but it occured to me that with Cowl channeling all his focus and power into the DH he and Kumori might have had to rely on alternative means the intant before they died.

Only if Kumori could not, for some reason, open the way herself.  She got scared by Bob-Rex, then Harry shoved her away (letting her cut his throat a little) and then turned to slug Cowl and disrupt the DH.  That would have given her plenty of time to open a way and yank him through before the backlash "tore apart every enchantment within a hundred miles".  And not only that, she would have had a knife stained with Harry's Blood...  Creepy thought.

Active Vs Passive thought.  Which do you use?

There's been a number of discussions we fans have had, on this matter, & wouldn't mind if you could clarify it for us.  First, the matter of the Wizard's sight.  The way I read it, the memories are extremely vivid, but like all memories, require an association to bring it to the forefront of the mind.  (That's how I read how Turn Coat worked, at least.)

Others seem to think, its the constant "Can't sleep, clown will eat me" sort of 24/7 deal.


Likewise, I'd like to know if Ivy works in the same way.  I personally think that Ivy accesses the Archive via association.  Others seem to think that Ivy herself (& not just the Archive construct) is watching 1,000,000 news channels & reading the news tickers of each & every one.  At the same time, as other daily activities & managing to keep track of it all.  (Never mind the Internet & everything else.)

I mean, I know you've said that Ivy doesn't have any filters to protect herself from the Internet, but I'd assume she's have less issues as long as she distanced herself from things that had associations with Rule 34.

Tree near Edinburgh, a Stone (a Menhir, technically) carved by Maggie Sr. on the first leg to CI, in Changes (went from a NN forest to Giza)

I would like to ask if Harry will go on the Larry Fowler Show again.  It might be an insignificant question on its face, but I think it might be an important moment if it occurs.  Aside from from settling Harry's legal problems, it might represent a turning point in how Harry both handles his mundane problems and presents himself to the outside world.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Was Lord Talos the Marshall of all of Summer's Court or specifically in regards to the forces that Aurora controlled?

What are the abilities of the swords of the cross?

Is it possible for wizards to use body altering magics to extend their lifespans?

Do wizards gain power (not just skill) with age (i.e. is a 300 year old wizard more powerful than they were at 20 years old?) like every other supernatural group seems to?

Also, I'm already on the reserve post on the first day.

Currently dealing with a backlog of games.

If you want me to type up a book quote or find a WoJ quote, send me a PM.

Rest in peace mdodd.

Yah, I ment to do 2 or 3, but someone responded before I could.  I don't know if I am still restricted, but in the past I could only post once every 30 seconds.

That restriction still exists.

As a side note, I'll probably go with a link to part 3 at the end of part 2 once I run out of space on the second post since I didn't reserve a third post.

The 3rd post is mine, so you can take it if you need it.  Not sure if I can somehow give you control, or if you just want to PM me with the content.  Whatever is easiest for you  :)
