Commentary
There are a few reasons for this twist. One was my decision that, no, this is absolutely NOT something Jay can do!
Which, to be fair, doesn't mean I couldn't make it work somehow. "No, Jay can't do this on her own, but she found the something something of something and did something something, and now this is happening!"
But then a thing occurred to me that I 100% cannot elaborate on yet, but consolation prize, hints at some facts about Jay, and an ADORABLE first panel that is adorable because I wanted to draw it.
Like, that's it. I wanted to try drawing excessively chibi Jay and Grace.
And then I did.
Huzzah.

I'm now wondering (more so than I already was) what Jay's first encounter with magic was.

Ummm...Jay? Spellbook y/n? I'm guessing "n"....

I love that Jay's motives are so pure. I mean, who *wouldn't* want to be freinds with Grace and her awesome girlfriend, Tedd?

Chibi! 💗

I've been assuming that it's canon ever since "So. You know what Star Trek is." BTW, the revelation that Jay didn't invade Susan's game/dream/whatever -- at least not deliberately -- raises my estimation of her somewhat. She's not quite as much of a stalker as she seemed.

Chibi Jay and Grace and SO adorable! :D

I'm thinking there is an Immortal involved. But that's the EGS equivalent of the trope "A Wizard Did It, " so that probably isn't it.

So, as a native speaker of American English, and with long exposure to American Otaku-go, I understand the word "excessively" and the word "chibi" (or at least I think I do ^_^). But I cannot seem to grok the combination, "excessively chibi".

I love the swooshy almost-Susan-looking awesome-Tedd in the background of panel 1.

...this is totes canon, isn't it? :D

Adorable first panel is adorable. That's a far more wholesome a reason for her to want to get to know Grace than I was expecting. I wonder why she's going about it in such a long and drawn out way but I'll wait and hear her reasons. Also... she doesn't know that spell? Out of game, presumably since the spell would have to be cast to cause this to happen. Which raises a few different questions...

Oh Snap!

...So this is canonical?

Also, if you wanna meet and become friends with Grace, try walking up to her and saying "Hi!" She's very kind and friendly. Ok, yes, I know this doesn't necessarily help with social anxiety, but...
Michael Brewer
Well, isn't *this* interesting. So far, I think the most "logical" theory is that she somehow encountered the emissary of magic and learned his spell without realizing it. But there's enough holes in that theory to make plenty of others work well. I admit, I'm kind of concerned now.
