With Dinosaur Island in good shape, let’s see what else is going on in Halcyon City. Let’s call back to an early plot point in the game! ![MindSwap_001](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/9/93a1d6a6cef055e8e5570fffebdd1516f356f472.jpeg) It took me quite a bit of fiddling to give Charlotte a staff to hold, but I like the effect. ---

Oh no, not again… (though I am excited to see how this plays out since Summer and Alycia weren’t around for the Christmas Party Incident) ---

I was wondering where that was in the comic timeline… wow, Summer has been around a lot longer that I remember. My first thought was “Summer’s consciousness didn’t show up until the thing at the school with Sablestar and the Farlander” but then I look it up and see that was Issue 10. Oops. ---

Strictly speaking she came from Pneuma so she’s always been along, but yeah. So I’m taking all that into account, because Alycia’s going to want an explanation. 😃 ---

That face in the final panel is priceless. All of them are good, but that last one is great. (I imagine these are all pre-created from the software, but these are good choices for the tone of the panels.) Freaky Friday isn’t my favorite trope, but I do enjoy some of the interactions between Alycia and Summer (the popping gag is still my favorite and I appreciate it being used twice). Wondering what sort of twist Nono will add to the mix. ---

Wait, Nono sees Alycia as what? ---
