THE GREAT EPISCATE
By:

I know what you’re thinking: “Stop cheating and drinking.”
Well, one of those is not on the table.
We’ll see if Stephanie can solve this-oh, who’re we kidding. Stephanie can do most anything. She’ll figure it out, I’m sure. And I’m sure her answer will surprise us all.
In case you were wondering (courtesy of my 1924 Webster’s),
Episcate, v. t.
To fish out; to find out by skill or laborous investigation; to search out. Scots or humorous
Indagate, to search into; to investigate
Indagator, investigator
Zetetic, a . Seeking; proceeding by inquiry; a seeker. see also: Zetetic philosopy
I could also have gone with: quidnunc (though that’s more of a gossip), quest monger or questionary, but I didn’t want to show off.
Oh, Edison.

Without giving too much away, I’d say he’ll learn to forgive her.
At some point.

My, money would be on Larry taking her back–eventually, maybe quicker. ^^

Well, she did behave herself when she was with Vampire Victoria. Of course, she didn’t have an opportunity.
But yes. She’s made some huge mistakes, and she got caught. Let’s hope the piper doesn’t demand too big a payment.

Yeahhhh… I mean, give him time and he should be okay. This is still the same day he found out.
Webcomic time. You know that well, my friend.
“…t’get my man back…” I’d say it would start with a fair-sized list of what NOT to do, including just about everything you’ve done so far…
Oh, boy. Complicated.

That’s just the sour frosting on the betrayal cake. Just one of many reasons why he’s hurt and angry.
Stephanie, on the other hand, is a different story. He knows she’s more innocent in the ways of humanity. He knows how much them fighting upsets her. He would understand that she didn’t know what to do, so she took the path of least hurting.
I think he’d cut her some slack.
How about she starts with not lying to him so much? Because I still think the fact that she intended to keep her affair a secret was still part of what upset him so much.
Though I wonder what he’d think if he found out Stephanie was going to keep it from him, too.
