Just throw on the magic amulet, Izzy, I'm sure it'll be fine. Kel McDonald and I have a new Kickstarter running for the next book in the Cautionary Fables and Fairytales series, please check it out here! It's full of fantastic art and awesome stories!

    Yyep, perfectly wise decision. No side effects at all. "Why, Miss Holt, ah, why are you advancing on me with that look in your eye. Ah! This is hardly the time, we're under attack! Ooh my..."

    yeeeaahh. cos nothin' ever went wrong with that idea, amirite?

    I wonder if the amulet is still intact at the time they are having that family meeting...and if so, what kinds of things they've used it for in the meantime... :D

    • Carmeops Renard 10 years ago archived

      my thought exactly, if they got to keep the amulet until present day, they probably did lots of kinky stuff with it for sure. After all, it's a power from the Lust spirit itself.

      • Alétheia 10 years ago archived

        And, let's face it, even if it didn't come from the Lust spirit itself, it's still these two: Mr. Flirt over there, and Ms. "Let's try it... for SCIENCE! [or, MAGIC!]" over there... xD

      They're definitely still carrying the amulet during the meeting: [http://www.widdershinscomic...](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-8th-2015/ "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-8th-2015/")

        Oh, wow.

        I love that cheesy smile of Sidney's.

      Gren didn't react to the amulet so maybe it is disarmed in 1834. Then again she was distracted by a very interesting ham at the time.

        Gluttony trumps Lust, apparently. xD

      Re: power perversion potential of shapeshifting, apparently Mystique was originally supposed to be Nightcrawlers father. I accept no other canon.

    :wearily: Do not. Put on. The mysterious. Amulet. Before. You scan it. For magical traps.


    ...I mean, obviously they got the amulet off eventually. But still. It's the principle of the thing.

    • Mujaki 10 years ago archived

      Really nasty, yet simple trap for an item that lets you shapeshift:

      When you take it off, you keep the form you're in at the time.

      • Moe Lane 10 years ago archived

        I know lots of people who would pay good money to have a turn at that, though. The medical applications alone...

    Let'e see, using the amulet could have any or all of the following effects: corrupting the user, addicting the user (to using it), making it easier for Luxuria and/or his minions to find the user, making the user more susceptible to the power of Luxuria and/or his minions, harming the users health, generally reducing the user's will power, strengthening Luxria, causing other effects I haven't thought of. Also, it could stop working at a critical moment. Yeah, testing it out may have been the quickest way for Izzy to make sure she has the right magical trinket, but it probably wasn't the smartest way to do that.


    And as far as what uses they may have put this amulet to between the Luxuria adventure and their retelling of that adventure at Eddie's farm, if the bad effects of this decision are obvious enough to them they may have decided that it is too dangerous to use ever again which makes "no use at all" a definite possible answer.

      Widdershins & co. decline any responsibility for any of these effect: Corrupting the user, addicting the user (to using it), making it easier for Luxuria and/or his minions to find the user, making the user more susceptible to the power of Luxuria and/or his minions, harming the users health, generally reducing the user's will power, strengthening Luxria, loss of hair or death.

    Reckless much, Izzy?


    You look like a dapper charming rogue, but I think the original dapper charming rogue much prefers you to look like yourself!

  • awhorl 10 years ago archived

    Horcrux moment indeed. The original Mr. L MUST know that the amulet has been activated if there's part of himself in it.


    And do admire (is that the right term?) their obliviousness to risk as well as urgency. They have a bit of time, but not much. And the escape plan is . . . what again?

  • Mako 10 years ago archived

    Huh. With that thing, it's surprising that there aren't more Barbers in the intervening generation.

    • Alétheia 10 years ago archived

      ...actually. Henry's confirmed bi... at the very least, if Izzy's not against it, that's a lot of feelings sorted in one direction. And then if Izzy likes gals, too, then it's not surprising at all that they only have one kid, really xD

  • Fairportfan 10 years ago archived

    eek

  • Columbine 10 years ago archived

    This shows a worrying lack of genre savvy. But I love their faces and the differences in Izzy and Henry's body language.

    Because we all know, imitation is the highest form of flattery
