Wow. I wasn't really expecting the Paedagogusi here. I have a feeling I can predict the next installment or two:

Jon: "And tell me, titmoth, exactly how are we supposed to get out of here and keep tabs on Meji and her passenger?"

Nookie: "Easy, watch this." <Makes a Paedagogusi-sized hole in the wall of the cell with the wave of a hand, then enlarges it so that Jon can fit>

Jon <blinks>: "AAAGGHH! So we've been sitting here for three days in this hell hole, and you could have busted us out right away. Why the frack didn't you TELL me about that?"

Nookie <blinks back>: "You didn't ask."

As humerous as that sounds, the more prosaic reason is that they agreed to play along. It doesn't look like the kind of place that's capable of holding any of them. Jon could walk out of there anytime he wants to.

Isn't Sarine technically a MILF?

I would like more detail on how they got to this point. Or rather, what the bakas think they're up to.

Proper jail cell.. with magic-electric light and running water. Possibly more luxuries than Jon had growing up. I forget, did those Farrellian inns show electric lighting in the rooms?

But we're missing the important bit. Assuming that the bakas can't just phase through the walls, Sara's been locked up with Kawaii.

One assumes the walls are magical enough to hold folks like Sara and Sarine. Bets are off on the fairies, though.

Yes, this is indeed frightening. Wonder how much Sara "knows" about Lord Cap'n Xander Kittysnoggins by now?

Another fun thought. If Chicanery managed to get done with the elves and join the fun, she'd be with Sarine. I don't think it happened -- no Paedagogusi is evident in Sarine's cell -- but we can't see enough of that cell to be sure, and the synergy of cynical snark might suffice to sink the sky city.

She is looking rather dazed...

I see what look like wings in the very upper lefthand corner.

She was already done with the elves; a pile of unconscious elves was found outside the locked gate by the Tsuirakuans. She's inside with Concussion and the portal to Continuity.

I think the "wings" are just peeling paint; you see something similar above Sara's head.

I did, yeppers. It's just that Jon's that good. Come to that, so is Sara and Sarine, and we haven't gotten to the paedogogusi yet. Those tiny titmoths could demolish those doors with one finger. No, they're there of their own free will and cooperation or they'd be escaped by now.
