> > > Liu Xi likes to be in the loop, to know exactly what's going on and why. Traditionally though, she's supposed to do what her elders tell her without questioning. She's only willing to obey the traditions she abandoned when her parents sent her away if there's an actual payoff - if it looks like her friends aren't going to be rescued she just might try to find a way out.
> > So far her actions seem to be moving towards that goal.
> I wonder if the Void Scholar knows that Liu Xi doesn't usually give much outward sign that her patience is wearing thin. She usually just takes it for a while and then loses her temper. His plan might be in jeopardy and he doesn't even realize it.

He's studied her very closely for many years and he thinks he knows her. His weakness is that he brings an academic's mind to the study, so he may understimate Liu Xi's heart. She's still developing, so past performance is not neccessarily a guarantee of future outcomes.

> > > And that feeling within her might be more urgent now that she sort of knows where Lee Bookman is.
> > She also knows that usually there is no way out of Comic-Book Limbo unless someone is pulled out.
> Liu Xi might also know of an extremely dangerous way to get around that: Pull pieces of Comic Book Limbo into another place until she finds the right one. It's not a desirable solution, but if she's motivated enough she can punish her grandfather by dumping chunks of broken cities into his realm so she can search them. \:\)

That's not real;ly a winning strategy, given the infinite nature of the place. It's like dipping a teacup into an ocean to try and find a lost pebble - except that you might attract a shark.

> > Remember that traditionally a Madonna - literally a mother - is used to refer to the parent of a remarkable child.
> True, but who knows what Liu Xi's kids will be like?

The Void Scholar.

> > In at least one timeline, the lineage of the Celestian Madonna also includes a liason with "the fernbiote" - presumed to mean spiffy or some descendant - and with a von Zemo. Goldeneyed, Exile, and Suicide Blonde (who has remarkably turned up again in this storyline) were all born in the far future of this family tree.
> Okay, Liu Xi hasn't really dealt much with any of those.

These are all plot development from much earlier in the board's history, when posters Bry and Derek and Baron Zemo were active. I've not really done much with them since they left because all those stories are told to a suitable "rest point". The only real relevance is that in the future they all come from the lineage of the Celestian Madonna keeps throwing up people with different empathies for fundamental forces in the Parodyverse.

Another point I've never got round to reiterating is that Scott established (I think) that the future G-Eyed and co. came from has now been destroyed by the Crisis on infinite Parodyverses - it'll never happen.

> > > btw, in case you don't see the other replies first - did you get my email?
> I sent it again to both just in case. If that fails I'll have to test the private message pickup service built into the software which maybe works.

I got it this time, and I've replied. Thanks.
