About time Abby got a kick in the butt. I hope being in mortal danger will make her take it all more seriously.

[I'm only joking here] @Tako: do kicks in the butt look like scythes in the face to you? :p [/joke]

Well Dangerously Chloe is living up to her name. Thinking Dave has some serious dark issues, so much death and such in the last year, all without resolution (aka Magickchicks still up in the Air ... what 11 months now?)

so... Abby's body ends up "mostly alive" but comatose while her reaped soul ends up stuck in heaven with Pandora? maybe?

It got worse.

Really, this is the sort of thing the early arcs taught to expect. We'd just been lulled into a false sense of fun with Pandora's antics and the date with Naomi.

Not that I expect this to be quite the disaster Chloe accidentally wrecking the kids' parents' marriage was.

Goodbye Alchemy-the-Reaper, hello Alchemy-the-gendershifter-without-bonus-feats?

What's worse is that, if s/he was a clear-thinker, this could trivially have been avoided. S/he could have just made the scythe disappear as she did before, let Chloe tumble, then manifested it again...

I'm pretty sure they expired the moment she scythed Abby in the face...

Probably more so than sneaking a can of Gold Wings out of heaven...

Thus the glasses got sliced, but passed through Abby harmlessly? If you look, the blade isn't resting IN her as much as it's where it would be from Kimmy holding it. She's just shocked that she can't see Teddy or Kimmy anymore. Right? Right...?
That's my current bet. Still...
CFT wrote:I'm not sure I buy into the "the scythe only harms spectral beings" theory. If that was the case, why did Alchemy say "oops", shouldn't she know her scythe's properties?
Even if that 'twere the case, there's a soul in there that could be harmed by sticking a big, pointy soul-reaping blade into it. So still in the balance.

Did anyone actually LIKE the interminable timetravel arc though?

FATALITY!
Usually you break something with that kind of brawl, here they broke someone. I suppose this is really serious, otherwise Kimmy wouldn't look like so "Oh no" all over. Plus Chloe probably had some courses about soul reapers at Charybdis. But she clearly didn't know Kimmy.

I'm pretty sure the scythe wouldn't have make a loud "thok" noise if the blade could only harm intangible things...

Live in a house filled with demons from hell, then take a Reaper back to your house and then fight with the one who has a scythe...yes...bad things will happen.

the thok might have been breaking the glasses, or the special effects of doing something to Gabby (giving her "special powers"?)

no blood or start of a cut in her forehead, just a simple "go through her face" like an oar going through water, not cutting it

This reminds me of that sword Tiffany once stabbed herself with, and it may have similar results.

Reaping a soul might not leave any blood. Even if Abby's body is unharmed her soul has been stabbed in the head. That is reason enough to worry.

Meh, here I thought we were finally getting some decent fan-service and then on closer inspection it turns out to just be a part of her skirt missing its pattern. *sighs disappointed*

also; Alas, poor Abby! we knew her well.

Well, 'Oops', indeed. Poor Abby.

On a side note, why is Abby wearing shoes, wasn't she barefoot just a bit earlier?
