Come now @TBeholder, Both Dakota and Hellrune know Cerise, it not like she an unknown person that one hears about being beheaded this is someone you seen grow up like weeds.
Hypocrisy (and responce to it) would be mildly amusing, but let's remember the little incident to which Melissa referred on the current page.
Cranium wrote:I for one hope you right and it is to get back the missing 6 girls as I am looking forward to more Jacqui and Tiffany.
It just makes sense, both motivation-wise (Jacqui and Tiffany, though high-handed accounting with Faith could feel good too) and strategically (dealing with Cerise with the rest of council backing her up and the only two people she knows who don't plan to backstab her somehow). Besides, how much does Melissa actually care about her status among these funny folk and what happens to the rest of them at all? Or her heart bleeds that they aren't into witch-burning right now? :)) Cerise is important only as much as she's a nuisance, unless Melissa wants her back into coven.
Either way, depending where they go, there's a fun possibility that she remembers the scene in restaurant and invites Layla to help with pulling Tiff's butt out of wherever she got stuck - it would be 3-in-1 deal for Melissa.

I'd prefer Melissa to have a chance at being sassy and clever with her moms rather than limited to a single snide remark about Cerise being afraid to drop in personally. :D

Oh dear, Melissa's shrinking again. I hope she saved some pixie dust.

You might want to elaborate a bit more on this statement as your response left me bewildered.

Hecate stated "I never make light about my covens" This statement is not just about who leads it but who is in it. So Melissa will have no say in Cerise being in the coven ... she is of the coven as is Jacqui. While Melissa may very well tell Hecate to Watch Her Buns (i.e. getting riled up with Hecate's antics) she really has no say on who is in the Coven.

Does not follow. Hekate being serious about her covens may mean merely that this should be resolved formally.
My guess - between Hekate's serious treatment of the matter, mostly laissez faire approach and how easily her summoning was treated - is that formalities for such "official" matters require witches to bring a case before their goddess. Which also is likely to mean one last attempt to resolve lesser disagreements or misunderstandings without drastic changes, Hekate acting as the mediator, of course.

Not really in keeping with Greek Mythology on how Gods interact with mortals (always exceptions with a handful of deities, but Hekate not one of them). The Gods do not act as Mediator in any way to mortals, it is always what the God wants that take precedence, for mortals to expect the Gods to act as Mediator would be Hubris. My mythology teacher in College stated I knew more about Mythology then her and she been teaching the subject for 40+ years. So I am fairly sure what Hekate wants she gets, or throw a tantrum.
laissez faire: deliberate abstention from direction or interference especially with individual freedom of choice and action. In overall scheme of things what Cerise did was not in keeping what Hekate wants but neither is it something she opposes, nothing to do with interference of freewill or choice of action on her part, if Hekate intervened directly in Rain posing as Skye, that would likely have Artemis directly getting involved. Mortals are nothing more then pets, chess pieces in war between the Gods, or love interest (typically).
Which of course we can still have an Artemis herself appearing in the strip to 'tip' the dis-balance caused by Cerise drinking what she should not have. By approaching Faith Abbot and group in trouble, after all it is to Artemis advantage to do so provided Faith is a follower of hers and not just a powerful human.
To date I love how Dave has handled Hekate reactions so far.

Yeah, but as we have seen her Hekate behaves somewhat like a Celtic deity. Just as dickish with her followers, and extremely authoritarian, but still bound to some formal rules.

True, And my reading of Celtic Mythology the gods take great pride on dicking around the other gods more then they did the humans :))
adding more to my post ...
I was not a forum member when So have I spoken was discussed. What amazed me was no one really brought up that Hecate stated "You will stay here in your Diminutive size until my agents accomplish the task!. This implied that both masseuses Svetlana and Veronique are both followers of Hekate, Sleeper agents in the war between Artemis and Hekate.
Error of Logic wrote:I don't know. I seem to recall a member of the creative team mentioning they had no plans to have any other deity besides Hekate manifest...
@Error of Logic where was that posted? Inquiring mind would like to know.

adding even more to my post
Two weeks since the girls disappeared ... what of Trumpy? Has he used the doggy door and become dog on the loose since no mistress to feed him? Or is Cerise taking care of Trumpy? Or did Trumpy seek out Layla remembering he had a good friend in Kujo. Does Faith live her Parent(s).

Another question is what is the chance that Faith is a Demigoddess of Artemis and lives only with her mortal father? A lot of question I like answered about Faith which only Dave can answer and he very tight lipped (as any good writer should be).

The lack of new responses to reply in forum to has my mind thinking a lot more what may have been overlooked (I need to get more of a life LOL).

I wasn't a forum member then, either, but I'm under the impression that the two masseuses were merely possessed by demons from... well, wherever Hekate is from, and the demons are who Hekate was referring to as "agents".

Not demons, we have seen demons. :) Those had to be Hekate's own minions, either created or spirits much like what Cerise was about to become.

I don't see any inherent contradiction here. :)

Why? If she insists serious business is her business and addresses the witches as "my daughters" before looking who (well, supposedly ;) ) - she gets to play mom.
Cranium wrote: So I am fairly sure what Hekate wants she gets, or throw a tantrum.
That tantrum happened when someone tried to mess with what she thinks is her own in a way she considers "abomination".

In overall scheme of things what Cerise did was not in keeping what Hekate wants but neither is it something she opposes, nothing to do with interference of freewill or choice of action on her part,
Cerise drank the vial and was about to die from this. Hekate didn't interfere with either part, other than by giving advice once Cerise mostly solved the problem. To me, demonstratively refusing to give a jack even for what is her business like this falls under "deliberate abstention from interference with freedom of choice and action".
Cranium wrote: By approaching Faith Abbot and group in trouble, after all it is to Artemis advantage to do so provided Faith is a follower of hers and not just a powerful human.
Faith is not "just powerful", she is known to be powered-up. Which raises obvious questions.

:-?? I suppose Paul takes care of the dog. He got to do something distracting him from thoughts about both sister and girlfriend missing, after all.

Yeah, spirits... that was the general idea I was trying to convey. (Word fail on my part.)

It is certainly possible that the masseuses Svetlana and Veronique were possessed by spirits/demons/whatever that serve Hekate. But not feel right to me because ..., as Hekate would be sending non-human agents to possess mortals, and that would have given every incentive for Artemis to directly intervene, just my opinion.
And yes forgot about Paul, but should not Paul be concerned about Faith being gone all this time?
Still a lot of loose ends and what have you need to be tied up.

I agree with you, that is what I mean ... Ninja club girls not showing up home, 6 teleported girls missing, Tandy. Sandy, Dog needing to be feed, et cetera. Figure it has turned into a full time job for Cerise to keep the lid down on everything. LOL. And this is why Melissa is kept in charge of the Coven. =))
