TOMORROW: A new EGSNP storyline begins!

- "You figured out I was the copper, didn't you?"

- "Aggression Level One"

Okay, who ordered the two cliffhangers?

(Also, yes, if anyone has EVER wanted to criticize how my comics look, enjoy the last panel! It has been served to you upon a silver platter.)

Part of what makes the maids fun for me is they can be a bit nonsensical without being illogical. Pretty much everything weird about them can be explained by one or more of these three things:

1 - They were designed by a single quirky immortal.

2 - They were designed for use by immortals in general.

3 - They were designed over a hundred years ago (page where Hope explains). This was WELL before the new, less strict rules. The maids have adapted to the new rules, but their core behaviors were defined under a stricter system. This is part of why they're overly chatty when they autonomously do things on their immortal's behalf.

They didn't put their immortals in danger of being reset due to the necessity of intent (Pandora explaining in Sister 3), but there were other potential concerns (including immortals worrying about it regardless).

(For additional reasons why they're like that, see reason 1 - They were designed by a single quirky immortal.)
