1) Why would they not want it? They agreed to the transfer. Most likely, Dakota wanted her to join the cheerfully murderous bunch, and Anastasia wanted her to look at these close up.

Not while she's in danger, no. They both obviously love her and she's the reason they both decided not to kill themselves.

It was just made clear that they both are full of it.
Not at all, their love for their daughter is the one common ground they have, which was made obvious by the last several strips.
Want a cookie?
No thanks. Don't be rude dude.

The burn witches you know? Anastasia might not have a problem with trial by fire, but I doubt Dakota would want to risk her little gem. And even if they did why not enroll her when she was a child?
TBeholder wrote: 2) How would they know?
I would think Melissa would go to them for help regarding something like being used as a pawn by her former school's principal. It is not the same as a school rivalry. This is an adult putting her in harm's way for their purposes.

If Melissa cannot remember then they might still believe the story the principal told them.

Cerise had a limited time to gloat so some wounds did not get salt. And while she has her hands full with her latest conquest and looking for Melissa she will probably turn her eye to a bigger target when she gets bored. That is what Anastasia did after she got bored with conquering a kingdom.

So... everyone immediately forgot that they need to come up with a plan, and that Cerise is looking for them?

Not to mention that looking for Melissa in her house would be a first choice? They should know that danger is nowhere near gone!

I'd imagine either Cerise or "Skye" appear in her house :p
I believe Monkeys are the answer to your questions.

She was obtaining sex by deception, thus committing a horrible, horrible crime. No verdict tho, she died before she was caught.

Thing is, though, that doesn't really explain Anastasia's reaction...
It does if they were at it like knives prior to the, uh, merger. Doubly so if they were doing so in a fashion that resulted in a baby.

The dad is the wand. The wand was combined with them. The wand came out of Melissa.

Here's my theory; her father is some hellspawn or another that Anastasia had a tryst with in the Shadow Kingdom. :ymdevil: That could explain why Hecate is so adamant about Mel being the only one suitable to lead her coven; she did say that the stuff that Cerise drank was supposed to make Melissa's "cursed blood" dominant.

The same Dakota who by all appearances wanted to use her as a mind-controlled walking artillery?

Depends on the mentioned (when Dakota broken it), but not cited agreement. Maybe the deal is "2 years with your friends, 2 with mine"? Especially seen as they only recently moved to thornhill.
brasca wrote:I would think Melissa would go to them for help regarding something like being used as a pawn by her former school's principal. It is not the same as a school rivalry.
I can't imagine Melissa doing it, especially given that even an attempt to make her a mind-controlled sex slave was not enough of a reason.
brasca wrote: This is an adult putting her in harm's way for their purposes.
So she is going to whine helplessly? :)) Remember how she talked to said Principal? :)
brasca wrote: Cerise had a limited time to gloat so some wounds did not get salt.
Melissa has dubious honor of being priority target for Cerise.
brasca wrote: And while she has her hands full with her latest conquest and looking for Melissa she will probably turn her eye to a bigger target when she gets bored.
Eventually would, perhaps. But she didn't get to this point, and it's not going to be boring now - Cerise can't rest on her laurels until she finds out what's up with Melissa. She is very afraid. Both due to previous performance and Hekate's oh-so-offhanded comments, like the one about Melissa being able to survive a dose of "purest black magic" that would kill her horribly.

Yep. Totally making stuff up.

He's been doing that for how many years now. Why is it just now disturbing.

There's a reason I mostly ignore this guy
Pointless arguing is one of the three pillars upon which the Internet is built. The other two are of course cat pictures and porn.

Wasnt it Don who once said that TBe thinks the comics are just fanfics of stuff he wrote?

He really seems to have an obsession with demonizing Dakota.

Alright then I second your theory, but don't think Leandro has any knowledge of who Melissa is since I've never seen a hint of it during any of their limited interaction.

I just assumed it's completely obvious for anyone who can put 2 and 2 together. My bad. :ymdevil: [spoonfeed]
Dakota routinely mindwiped Melissa and controlled her perceptions - and clearly was about to do more rather than stop, because what could she possibly say to Melissa after offing Anastasia? "Your dad was fake! I am really your mom and just killed your other mom! Rejoice and heed my orders!" or what? And she tried to kebob Anastasia as a part of going with the cat's order (if obviously overdoing it). What do you think she was about to offer Melissa in these circumstances - "now you can leave the torture-loving freaks and live in peace" or what? =))

Indeed. Because we never have seen in MC anyone hypnotized Melissa and then tried to seduce her in this state while planting suggestions to make her dependent. Nor anyone having a bunch of unquestioning servants, very attentive, ready to kiss or fondle and never jealous at all. No, wait. I know! It's clearly someone haXXXored MC. =))

Remind me, how freudists call ascribing their uneasy relationships with their freud to others? "translation", "identification" or "externalization"? ;))

Leandro quite obviously knew not just the names and faces, but at least abilities of Jacqui and Cerise on the very first day, when he set up the combat quiz. Or he matched overconfident and straightforward Chastity who neded a lesson with an illusionist (Jacqui) and overconfident Cerise with Skye - bestiopath who was going to give her a lesson just as obviously and needed a boost of confidence herself... by pure coincidence? /:)
