Questions Specifically for Jim, Part 3

[svb1972]

Or Jim made a booboo

In regards to Maggie LeFay's "Way Stone" (for lack of a better term):

It's said a few times throughout the series that where the Nevernever touches the mortal world changes as the mortal world changes. I also recall in WK it's implied that the person creating the 'Way' can effect where they end up in the Nevernever.

That being said, would it be right to assume that the stone is more of a utility that senses the 'Ways' as relevant to the user at the moment of use, basically Maggie's affinity for Ways imbued into an item, as opposed to it merely being the collective knowledge of maggie's travels/mapping?

Oh...I never realized this thread existed...wwwhhhhoooooooboy....here we go, let's see if I can get them all in one *takes deep breath*

What tribe is Injun Joe from?
Where/how did Harry and Michael first meet?
What was the first thing Harry ever saw with his Sight?
What exactly happened between McCoy and the Merlin to embody their seeming dislike of eachother (re:SK)?
Does Harry have a Chicago accent?
Exactly WHAT gate does "The Gatekeeper" keep?

and finally...

Why didn't Harry ever even MENTION Susan's attempted hit on him in Changes?  I mean, that was something pretty big, and it just got DROPPED like it never happened.  What's up with that?

*GAAAAAAAAAAASP*

whew....that...was a lot of air.....

Is it safe to assume that sometime in the near, yet distant future (and because of your supremely awesome ability to keep us chomping at the bit for more Dresden) that we will eventually find out what people see when they soulgaze with Harry? Or why Murphy has never shared a soulgaze with Harry despite how close their relationship is?

Cuz, um. You know. I think that'd be cool to know

For your last, I think the book itself has your answer:

Harry decided that the person who placed the hit was merely borrowing Susan's appearance, not Susan herself.  The Eebs, for example, can change the appearance of their flesh masks.

 

We don't know if he was correct to think that, of course. But at this point, it's likely that we'll never find out.

Susan, after all, isn't talking, and (presumably) neither are the Eebs.

Dresden is dead.  So are Morgan, Justin (maybe), Margaret (maybe), and Susan.  Don't you think he'll ask her?

The Eebs to me like they will be there to see you die not send someone to do it.
Maybe the first assassin and sniper were hired by the same person.

If she's there, and he can get in contact with her, he very well might-- I think it would do him a lot of good to be able to speak with her. But she was a Rampire when she died, and even *if* anything is left of her, spiritually speaking, she may be on an incompatible wavelength.

Although...Changes did make the point that the recently coverted rampires reverted to their human selves after the curse.  Susan's plea to Harry post conversion, as well as the precedent of post curse reversion, lead me to the conclusion that some sense of Susan's humanity endured.

No, those weren't rampires:

The Red Court was dead. Gone. Ev­ery one of them. Most of the re­mains were lit­tle more than black sludge. That, I thought, marked the dead vam­pires. The half-​breeds, though, on­ly lost the vam­pire parts of their na­ture. The curse had cured them.

Is a change from half vampire to full vampire an immediate change or does it take a little bit of time?
If the change rids an individual of a soul, then does the person lose memory of there human life?

[cass]

(and how does the process compare to other half-to-full transitions, such as changelings Choosing to become Fae?)

The way I remember reading it in Changes it was a process. Susan said she was feeling different emotions/sensations and the process wasn't complete before she died because she would have attacked Harry if she was full Rampire.

so he was able to sacrifice her before she was completely ramp?  So then I'm guessing it would be a change that takes a little bit of time.  She had some full vampire blood and when she spilled that blood, she killed em all.  Makes sence.

I have no idea.
