    Looks like Warrick finds his cloak.

    And it seems some things are better off behind closed (and locked) doors.

    It’s got a sort of treeish or viney look doesn’t it?

    Hmmm, possibilities. Is this some remnant of the old Wicked Witch perhaps? Maybe it has some connection to the creepy poppies in the current time? Or the ghost? I don’t know, the ghost was out of OZ when we first saw it…

    Oh you evil comic creators you. I desire answers!

    Oh man, this whole scene was giving me this familiar vibe that I couldn’t quite place till this page. To me, it feels very reminiscent a part in this book called Lirael by Garth Nix when Lirael stumbles across the Stilken. Anyone know it?

      Oh, man… I read the Abhorsen series totally out of order! XD But yeah, I’m more or less familiar with it, but it’s been at least seven or eight years since I read it in junior high, so I’ve forgotten most of it.

      It was one of those books that make you sad in that “I can’t wait to finish reading this book :D – Wait, what do you mean it’s OVER?!? D:” sort of ways.

    DEAR GOOD IT THE ALIEN’S GRANDMOTHER!

    *Shivers* I swear to god that thing is creepy. Considering that weird smoke coming out of it’s nose and lack of eyes, I vote that it’s the Ghost thing from the Dorthies Shrine.

    THough, I now sort of have a theory why it kills. Anyone seen the Mummy? Well, it’s pretty much the same deal. Steal a host organs to regain it original form/powers. (I’m pretty sure that this thing will be the things that permanently scares these two. As well as kill Adora.) 8<

          Trouble is, badly socialized or startled ones can be deadly. :/

    Okay, it’s probably weird of me to notice these details, but …

    The incredibly horrible awful thing from the closet (which came close to freaking me out the first time I read the strip) has, among other things, a naval and two breasts. I would say that based on those two things (particularly the belly button) that it’s something that WAS a human female at one time.

    I could be jumping to wrong conclusions based on comparative anatomy, however. *shrugs and grins*

    You created some really good high-octane nightmare fuel tonight, folks. I’m thanking you now, despite the fact that it’ll probably haunt my sleep. *sighs, then winks*

    GAH!

    Medusa, maybe? Those look like they could be snakes-for-hair or something close. And would explain the Witch’s power level a lot, if she was keeping a mythological beast on the level of the gods prisoner.

    OTOH, it could also be roots/vines, which would link it to the Poppies of Mind Control.

    I note the escape of a misty something that is probably our least-favorite ghosty-thing, too.

    Oh holy crap. I have two guesses as to what that THING is. 1. the ghost, but a much creepier version. or 2. the remains of the wicked witch.

    And given the present circumstances, no, Warrick is not lucky to have you as a sister. And how on earth (err… Oz?) did a monster like that look like books to you?!

        I remember in the movie when someone (Parvati, maybe?) turned a boggart into a freaky jack-in-the-box, which was scarier than what it was originally.

    So, what happens next could actually be considered more Selva’s fault than Warrick’s, huh?
    My guess is that they each blame themselves more than the other however.

    That black bile creature seems sort of similar to the ghost haunting Emma. I wonder if there is a connection between the two?
