It's either that or they give her the cure and she can only interact with Lalli and Reynir as a ghost.  Which would be even worse.

Well, that depends on whether she'ld start out right away as a murderghost, or deteriorating that much requires the full 90 years and Tuuri would begin as just a noncorporeal verson of her cheery (if saddened by recent events) self.

The pickup has been said to arrive "somewhere north of 20 days". If Tuuri is infected, she should show first unmistakable signs within the standard quarantine period of two weeks. According to Mikkels assessment of the oldest photos of Hilde Rasmussen, even a cursory inspection by the quarantine ship's crew should reveal her infection at the pickup time - and I seriously doubt that they would want to take an infected person aboard in the first place.

Well, at least Kitty's not hissing at Tuuri yet --

ETA: the cattank may be running on the cover, but it doesn't look like it's running yet as of the current page.

Worldbuilding speculation:  I wonder if any mages have attempted to 'keep' spirits safe in their own havens.  In this scenario, Onni would build a virtual cabin or such for Tuuri to 'live' in, within his virtual Finland.

Oooh!  I like that idea!

That could be possible, but I suspect it wouldn't work out very well. Finnish mages are supposed to guide spirits on their way, keeping one around for selfish reasons could be a violation of everything Onni's meant to do, and that could have bad consequences for them both.

We've seen what happens when a spirit is trapped in the real world, having one trapped in the spirit world could be just as bad.

Of course if Tuuri wants to hang around she could end up like Pastor A. Still there but slowly losing her memories and sense of self.

Huh. Anyone else having trouble with disqus refusing to load on page 692? It seems fine on previous pages, but even on different browsers and different devices all I get is the ad and the little animated speech bubble.

I'm having the same problem too as do others also. Seems like it's happening to everyone.

Comments are loading for me at this point (old firefox on an old mac.)

I don't have a disqus account so don't know whether that part's working.

I see them in Firefox, but then in Chrome I haven't been able to load Disqus on any site in at least a month. I assume a full cache wipeout is in order but I don't know all my passwords so I've been putting it off. You can try that and see if it helps you, if you don't dread losing all the cookies as much as I do

[Ragnarok]

Today's page features a depressed Reynir and Lalli not immediately eating cookies.

I think Minna may have violated a fundamental law of the universe.

[Occa]

You know something's wrong when Lalli has to be forced to eat cookies.

Mikkels way of dealing with an uncooperative patient may be unconventional, and would get him fired if he was working as a real doctor (If it not already has), but it is effective.

Honesty I'd be surprised if Mikkel ever was a real doctor.

[Vafhudr]

Interviewer: So, what makes you qualified for this position as field doctor?
Mikkel: I have successfully delivered 16 calves back on the farm.
Interviewer: Well that beats most of our candidates. You're in.
