So probably not Peggy.
@[Opus the Poet]:
If her arms were just a bit further out of the way, we might check for the belly-tattoo that Peggy’s shown us in the past, during the “On Mortality” series of pages.
Meanwhile:
Playing “Devil’s Advocate”, I’d say that although seriously traumatic systematic abuse has been known to radically alter a person’s looks, I would doubt that this “thrall” is Peggy Walker.
More likely, the Esteemed Author has simply edited a “copy” of the same render-model, & given it different clothes.
Mind control can be a bitch
I do wonder how long she has been a thrall and if she could have a life for herself with her lird gone.
Wasn’t the blond twat her lord? :thinking:
I’m thinking that both of the bloodsuckers are dead.
She’s going to need a new home… Oh look, over there is an old house; home to a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen?
Good to see a new vote incentive, even if she looks so sad.
So… Is someone still in there? The use of the word “she” does imply that this is more than just a meat-puppet. Still existing as an actual person was by no means a given.
And is the rest of her recoverable? With therapy and time would she remember who she is, or would she have to build a new persona on the basis of the brief and traumatic period she does remember plus experiences yet to come?
I give it three days, at the outside, before Ace finds out who she is and generally what happened to her.
I say outside because when he finds out, he’s going to be capital P PISSED.
A week and a half till he drops the Branch that his Mom is a consultent for on their heads.
I’d put 100 Quatloos on it. 😉
Is that including the time for him to get back to Earth and find out about her in the first place?
Ace and those currently being hosted by the Orions may not make it back in time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Rosa has an alert on the house. Or alternatively, the neighbours report unusual goings-on and a very friendly police officer will turn up and take care of her (while also noting that everyone’s suspiciously disappeared – including the cats – while leaving all their cars behind…)
@[Eeyore3061]:
My guess is, about between 30-&-90 minutes, starting from the moment that he’s made aware of her situation.
Among his list of possible contacts, I’m guessing that we’d find the one-&-only Samantha Hooper, undead gossip-columnist, who might shed some light on these interlopers, & their (possible) connection to “Lady Banshee”.
Runescape has a quest in it, “Salt in the wound” in which you take on the Slug Queen, the leader of a species of parasitic Sea-borne slugs that take humans as hosts. During, you learn the parasites are incapable of direct speech without a host. The host of the Queen is a VERY OLD haggard woman dressed in clothing scraps, frail, and just… pitiful. You separate the two and finish off the Queen by crushing it with a stone pillar. Well, turns out the slugs can act as life support for their hosts. Her host “Lucy” was a toddler when she was abducted. She had lived over a hundred years as the Queen’s host, locked in an eternal nightmare. She wakes up, and you are given a choice… lie to her, or tell her the truth. That all her family and loved ones are long since dead. Age, lack of life support from the parasite all catch up at once. Whether you choose to lie or tell the truth… it is one of the most heartbreaking ends to a quest as she wails and passes away. A toddler trapped in a nightmare waking up old in an adult body that should have long since expired…
You would think she would stand out far too much dressed in literal rags, to do anything useful as her master’s liason with the day-world.
