    This Earth Maiden sounds like she might be one of Faite's friends, mysterious, distant, and interfering only when something is about to be messed up.


She's young, innocent, and her time's not yet come. When she finally gets to Parody Earth she might well need a friend and mentor - she's already got a pack of enemies waiting for her.

    It looks like Liu Xi might be on track to save everyone, if she can recover quickly enough. With Hatman out of commission, and Ham-Boy dealing with Alcheman's curse, she's going to be the first to realize what's going on.


She picked up onevery useful piece of advice.

    Just when I thought G-Eyed was going to get some kind of explanation, things get more complicated instead.


We're moving the mystery forward, I hope.

    I wonder where the ghost possessing Beth has gone off to...


Indeed.

    Side note: I don't know who Lo-Chi is, but it sounds like at least Liu Xi will be able to translate the name.


Lo-Chi's detailed in the footnotes, but the short answer is she was an alien who disguised herself and married Jarvis to manipulate him into dooming the Parodyverse and whom he died to stop. She was a recurring villain in the early Parodyverse but got sidelined along with her whole race, the Nebulous, at the time the Hooded Hood first conquered the Parodyverse (a while after poster-Jarvis had departed and In felt his cast had reached their retire-by date).

Given the associations between Shangri-La, the city which Lo-Chi was supposed to have originated from, and the underground mysteries trope, I felt it was worth throwing her in there as a tip of the hat. And speaking of hats, Jay Boaz really was pretty much Jarvis' protege in Hatman's rookie period with the Legion, so putting him against the woman responsible for Jarvis' destruction seemed like an interesting thing to do.
