Calling all Elfquest fans

Does anybody remember a reference to the pet humans in Blue Mountain being able to sense when Winnowill was sending--because they could feel something in the air? I swear this is nagging at my memory, but I couldn't find a reference to it and I'm trying to figure out if I'm hallucinating. ;) The places to look for it would be in the 3rd graphic novel out of the original quest, the novelization thereof, or Siege at Blue Mountain.

Anybody able to help me out on finding this?

I looked in siege but I couldn't find any pet human moments. The mountain is pretty empty in that one.

I skimmed Siege last night myself--there's some human mileage, but most of it is with Adar and Nonna infiltrating the Mountain with Cutter and company. There is one scene where they break Winnie's pets out of confinement, though, and old Kakuk is all "YOU! You little spirits were here before!" Couldn't find the specific bit I was thinking of, though.

I don't think they could sense her sending, but I'm pretty sure that they could sense when she was in a foul mood. It probably would be somewhere in the Original Quest. I'd look, but my copies are buried in a closet.

I'm very specifically remembering something where the context was Winnie sending while extremely pissed off--the humans couldn't pick up on the words, of course, but they got uneasy, for the air seemed to get heavy, as if with a storm.

But I'm also not sure if I'm totally making up the memory. ;) I went through Siege last night, as well as most of the novelization of Book Three, but couldn't find that specific reference (though the novelization does, in the Prologue that tells the tale of how Riwen of the Hoan g'Tay Sho first won the favor of the Bird Spirits, drop interesting hints about what the humans could and could not sense of magic).

I don't think you're imagining things, but my books are at home, conveniently placed on a nice new shelf. Why don't you cross-post to the EQ community? If anybody's active, someone's bound to have access to a copy of the books.

[annathepiper]

Mmm, good idea! Thanks for the tip! :)

No, it's there. When WInny's sending to her Chosen, they can tell, because it goes quiet and heavy. I'd look for it in a bit. Lunch calls.

[annathepiper]

That would seem to narrow it down to Siege, if it's Winnie sending to the Chosen--thanks! I skimmed Siege last night but couldn't find it, but I might have missed it. :)

If it helps, I recall it as well. But like many others, at work and will be able to provide you some kind of answer when I get home. Also, it is in the graphic novels themselves somewhere, as the only novelization I have is the one of the first graphic novel that was published by Playboy.

[annathepiper]

catrysa found it--it's actually in Book Four. :) But thanks for checking in!

[annathepiper]

Or, rather, Book SIX! I was mixing up my titles. Doh!

[leian.livejournal.com]

I think 'twas in the third book, Captives at Blue Mountain. I may be wrong and it's late.. but I've a gut feeling.

Will look it up later for you, if you like.

[annathepiper]

Please do if you get a chance! :) Thanks!

[catrysa.livejournal.com]

It wasn't in Captives OR Seige, but rather The Secret of Two-Edge. Page 16, the Chosen call to her, and she replies via send. Narration goes:

"Kakuk and his fellow captives knows when their mistress is sending, for the chill silence grows momentarily more oppressive."

[annathepiper]

Oh cool! Thanks! :D

[leian.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's it! Hurrah for Catry! ^_^

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they beat me to looking it up, but I was goign to at least chip in with 'you aren't hallucinating'. :) I remembered the scene, too. :)

[annathepiper]

Heh! Thanks! :)

I'm on a kick of trying to research how early the humans of Abode are showing telepathic potential, out of interest to how it applies to the stuff I wanna write about that I've been babbling about over on willowholt. ^_^ This helps!

Also, amusing TM's current Human staffer by throwing this info at her, too, as potentially interesting to try to make humans more amusing to play on the game.

Humans were always fun to play on the game! Well, I had fun. When I was there. *dig dig dig* Is the hole deep enough yet? ;) *snugs*

[annathepiper]

Well, I certainly had fun with the Vraeyans, but! ;) *snugs!*
