The heck is zat

So Noa's Stand is like the Vitruvian Motherfucker or something. Got it.

So, where is it?!

Its like the old monster sketches in dnd books. A very "we THINK" it looks like this, vibe.

Ayilu out here being the goat

aw, she's helping (very thoroughly)

Secret Karaoke Polyp-Goddess Revealed

I wonder if dying and then tethering herself to a vessel has messed up her soul. Since souls are supposed to pass on and stuff.

It's the octopus from 1191 and 1203!

Bodyhorror worthy of John Carpenter, coming up!

'vaguely polypedal' lol i can't wait for the rEVEAL

"Vaguely polypedal" Well that's terrifying and very precise language, did Ayilu join the "military" with Red as a psyops specialist? Making your enemies not only see but *feel* whatever you want is a huge advantage... If she can do it outside the æther. • "How can she see it?" Annie (and Jeanne) are the only ones who saw Smitty's "threads of fate" so maybe it's a unique vision, possibly related to Ayilu's illusion powers. Kat should see it too but she can't see the Guides if they're invisible so there seems to be a difference between illusions and hiding, maybe it's intent: "I'm showing you something for a reason" (Ayilu wants the class's attention and for Jeanne to think Parley is her BFF, the RotD wants to look impressive, Diego wants Jeanne's boyfriend be distracted) vs "I just don't want you to see me".

I love how put-out Parley looks in the first two panels. Now, time to give it another try?

Huh. Red not being here suits you, Ailu.

So a final body horror image of Noa´s true form will soon be revealed then? I am equally curious and terrified.

That is one horking big blind spot.

I just love Ayilu's outfit.

oh we're in for some eldritch shit, hell yeah

Wtaf is she then

STAND NAME: A PERFECT CIRCLE PWR: C SPD: D RNG: C PRC: B DEV: A

Body horror continues!

Ew, it's like a twisted Vitruvian Woman

Guess its a mismatch of things from the glyphs compressed into the bigger one.

So Noa's not the stand User, she's the stand!

Polypedal, n?n bipedal? Why am I thinking of Jack and his spiders... Happily waiting for the fight to continue and more info to be revealed...

Red would say Aliyu has an eye for fine things... or not, fairies are probably weird about giving credit to others, even if it's flirtatious.

Aliyu shows here why she is the hidden ace in Annie's team.

Tactical update while lying prone is amusing. Is Ayilu projecting the PowerPoint slide into Parley's head, or is it merely an artistic rendering of her explanation and doesn't exist in universe?

Eldritch Noa

And there's the body horror.

If she had a Soulfire Blade, Parley could end Noa and the hidden thing much easier, since a Soulfire Blade is FATAL to spellcasters and magical creatures.

"vaguely polypedal" - it must a POLYPUS!

ok I'm fine not being able to see this creature!

CAN it be hit?

"Polypedal"? Did Noa become a cosmic horror?

Poor reaction speed? If only someone here could move in ways a human can't react to in time. Like teleportation. Wouldn't it be great if someone here was capable of teleportation. Parley, you wouldn't to know anybody with the distinct skill to instantly relocate would you? I swear there was someone, but I'm drawing a blank here.

Mu Dan (Jigokuraku/Hell's Paradise - Derived from Taoist/Buddhist lore) While from a modern manga, this creature is heavily based on Taoist, Chinese, and Japanese folklore (y?kai) concepts of reanimation and unnatural anatomy. Appearance: In its Kishikai form, it is a multi-bodied, multi-limbed entity with locked Yin-Yang bodies. Puppeteering Behavior: It is a plant-based, multi-bodied creature that possesses and manipulates human corpses, specifically using their limbs and joints to move them like puppets, often resulting in jerky, "wooden doll" movements. Limbs: The form consists of elongated limbs, often with multiple arms/legs functioning to support the combined bodies. I Think this is what she has become.

Wow, Aliyu, that was. . . good.

Ooooh. Is that the ACTUAL-REAL Noa? Turned into abomination(in the end) and projecting an image of normal human her

It sounds like what we (and Georgie) see of Noa is her physical form, but that Ayilu is describing her true form, i.e., the circle that she was contorting into as she finished drawing the circle. Yikes: sounds kinda Lovecraftian to me.

"Any advice?" "Sure, here's a bunch of information that's not advice"

Imagine trading your humanity for... that. Doesn't seem worth it for me.

Parley is absolutely over getting hit by invisible forces.

Oh, so Sylvie is a true monster fucker. Sorry, I meant negative construct fucker.

Jam the remote session to Noas body ;) Aka, square the circle.

Late to the table, here. Jenny has helped Noa make an avatar of herself? And her real self isn’t quite as dispassionate? ... In a way, that sounds like Annie after she cut her hair.

Sounds...spiderlike.

And here I was thinking that her true form would be an ouroboros shape, given the circle glyph. Now, looking back at the transformation sequence as she was drawing the circle, I am now even more morbidly curious.

Oh so Aliyu has a future as a teacher, huh

Things are going to become more squishy in the next panel ;). And by things, I mean those poly peds and those variable reach arms. I cannot WAIIIITTTTTT.

figured they would be switching to strategize on mental attacks rather than physical, but apparently not.

huh. reminds me of Ward from Wildbow. And of Jojo.

Some say she has two.

Those first two panels are GOLD.

So THAT'S her new body. Oh of course the eyes are Zimmy-fied! She's using Zimmy as her power source...

Hi Noa :3

Who knew she was this smart?

Is that the *real* Noa?

Also looks vaguely mechanical, like a robot, in the example diagram. But can this puppeteer body be struck just as it has been striking?

Oh yikes, is that what she became when she completed the glyph, a freaky aetherically-piloted marionette?

that’s a LOT more than two arms and legs my friend

Somehow, I have a bit of a cognitive disconnect here wrt how Ayilu is describing the current tactical situation & how this meshes with my previous assessment of how the fairy clan processes information. Perhaps I am a bit obtuse & predisposed in how I regard this ethnic group... Anyway... Tom, I like the drawings of Parley in today's offering. Love the drawing of Ayilu in the middle panel. Compliments on how Cvet frames Parley and adds dynamism in the last panel!

Worth a shot or three

Fighting outside vector range....how very Elfen Lied!

Oh god, what kind of Chronenburg thing has she turned herself into??

So that circle thing was a summoning? And very strong girl got herself possessed? And she just might be glad to get free?
