I have to say this is much more interesting then a simple “poof: magic has altered all reality flawlessly”. Selena’s powers, though great, do seem to have limits and she does have to call in favors to get really big tasks done in a hurry. If Luna does some serious hunting she might be able to find some little things selena missed. It would be neat for her to find something of that sort, no mater how small or meaningless, thus providing some residual token reassuring of her sanity and past.
@cischiral: The problem is that Selena ask to this pooka for a good reason. He lives with Luna for years. He knows everything about her. Her secrets spots where she hide her porn, where the familly photos are hidden and where the dirty clothes end. Selena call a old favor on this pooka to be sure to not miss an important details. Also, yes the fact that she not have a singl pant is a problem. It’s suspicious for someone that think to it carefully.
Everything still isn’t explained though, like how the dads memory has been changed, and the pictures of chibi Luna. I guess changing a picture might not be as hard as making clothes, since you just cast an illusion to change the colors on the solid surface *shurgs*
@String Petoun Ping: I agree that the puka has probably cleaned out all Luke’s personal paraphernalia at home, but people leave little pieces of themselves everywhere, not just at home work/school but in little unexpected places and ways in around and in between. It is the little unexpected places not at home or school that Luna may have some luck, as I am guessing Baxter’s equivalent at school has probably cleaned out and replaced Luna’s locker and such by now.
@cischiral: I know that but how many spirits own a favor to Selena like Baxter? She’s a powerful and old spirits that can afford to spend a lot of favors. She probably not only asked for the spirit of photo to fix the pictures but I’m almost sure that she sends several dozens of spirits around the world to give Luna a quality new life.
Likely to find that government records have been changed to reflect that she has always been a girl. Luna may have to come to terms with the fact that even if she was able to change back to Luke that he does not exist anymore. Those spirits and sprites may have no reason to change things back, especially if they have honored their debts.
@String Petoun Ping: I don’t think you quite understand what I am saying. I am sure Selena has called in enough favors to cover everything known, but if you don’t know about something, because it is so insignificant that it is unknowable, then it doesn’t mater how much power you have to alter it if you don’t know it needs to be altered. Something small that no one would look for, not even Luna, though Luna may bump into such a thing by accident later. For instance perhaps Luke swung by some convenience store once one day in a neighborhood he doesn’t usually visit. He is caught on the security camera, for the mere minuet or two that he passes through the store but once in his life. Selena clearly has the power to alter the tape, but if she doesn’t know about it or think about it (as neither Luna nor anyone else in the universe might know about it or it significance) then it doesn’t mater how much power she has available, it won’t be changed because it wasn’t considered not because it couldn’t be changed. We leave thousands of little imprints of ourselves around like that that neither we nor anyone else would even think of. Since we don’t even realize it ourselves, I highly doubt someone else such as Selena could catch them all though she might have gotten the vast majority. Selena probably caught everything relevant and anything that could prove to someone else, like say Luna’s father, that she used to be Luke. Even still there are likely some little forgotten fragments somewhere where no one, including Luna, would think to look, and these fragments could hold just enough of a snippet of Luke’s past to reassure Luna if she found them, and not enough for her to do anything else with.
Also an interesting thing to consider is how many favors Selena is calling in, and how valuable such favors are. Baxter claims to not be very powerful, so a favor from him might not be worth much. But, if Selena is calling in a large number of favors, and some of them are valuable, then this represents an investment. No one disposes of large numbers of favors that have some value unless one is investing in something. If Selena is making an investment here, then it means this is more then a prank or petty revenge on Luke (though she might consider those to be bonuses) but rather she has some useful purpose or intention for him as well. This would also imply that Selena plans on keeping Luke Luna for quite some time. This, of course, all hinges on the number and value of the favors Selena is calling in. If these are all just little petty favors by her standards then it could still just be a prank.
@cischiral: This snippets of Luke is already here. Baxter, Luna and the three witches know the truth and there are the video of Luna transformation (the more solid evidence). The video and their memories can have been altered but it’s the proof he need to reassure itself.
@Riniko: This could give him his current goal. He needs to work for the different spirits of his world in order to accumulate favors. He will need them if he want really become a Luke again. He will need a lot of debts to change back everything but this will keep him busy while he will maybe grow slowly fond of his new life.

Wonder what that favor was that Selena did for Baxter 15 years ago? And by the way how old is Luna anyway? Not a chance that some things might be connected is there?
Heh, knowing Pooka it could easily be something trivial like a missing baseball card rather than something serious. I do agree that Selena is putting a investment of some kind into Luke although I’m sure she is amusing herself at the same time. Despite being annoyed at being summoned, I think she quickly turned it into something positive for her. As to her intentions of what has happened to Luke being long term. Heh, I think traditionally the moon and moon spirits are associated with change if not also a bit of lunacy. @.o
posted on a Sunday night. Cool!!
I wonder if she’ll ask Baxter for some pantes or soemthing…
I hope Luna gets a small break, and gets to at least have some jeans.
I mean these days, most girls don’t wear skirts all the time even.
he must have known a little bit if they were really good frends safer to play stupid
I’m sure that Baxter can get her some other clothes, they just may not be what she meant.

Don’t shoot the not-imaginary messenger, Luna!
messenger?
He’s the one doing the actual work of Selena, replacing stuff/.

I really like this comic – it is funny and clever.
Luna’s hair is expanding. Soon she will look like Cousin Itt.

True.
You spelled “You’re” wrong.

Thank you Mr. Moneybags whoever you are.

Selena probably helped him hide some socks.
Pooka steal socks to make their clothes. @.o
You didn’t think they made pie with them did you?
socks could be some sort of magical ingredient for them.
