Huh. I thought he was after Rat, given Timmy’s apparent MO. Noah might be the single worst magic user to test your nightmare powers on, Timmy.
Let’s hope Timmy can only control one body at a time. His phrasing on page 2379 is a lil suspicious in that regard.

Noah cant do this by himself
30688: Eight - Friday, March 18 2022 - 3:55 AM
Well, Noah's body cannot be controlled even by Noah himself (falling over when trying to run etc.). You think you could control it? And what do you do if there is no body in the first place?

One thing left to do: wish for more powers. You can deal with those problems later because you'll live till later.

I'm not a regular reader, who is Estelle?

@Blob:
No previous mention, Rat's estranged daughter.

You just know that @Neoriceisgood has already introduced Estelle and we just don't know it yet...

If "timmy" has no idea of the results of taking over a magic user then that excludes a good chunk of people to hear Noah's name as. There is the Guard Captain, Secret Police, Nail(probably not), Noel(espers are not magic users but he would not let that happen), the Dean(did he hear Noah's name? "timmy" clearly can see memories of those affected although possibly only impactful ones), and probably not anyone from the higher levels of training operation as to them his callsign is "radar" not "noah". my guess is either the guy that found the nightmare cat or Veda(remember back in the start when she got captured?) is the one to leak the name to "timmy".

I'm also very curious what happens if it hijacks a magic user. So maybe we can sacrifice Noah, you know, for Science?
30697: A Loquacious Theorizer - Friday, March 18 2022 - 8:30 AM
Also, it looks like the body theft requires synchronization, with "timmy" saying something then both saying something softly and then both saying a corrected from the previous statement and then "timmy" has full control. That lines up with either needing to predict the next thought antithetically to how Noah needs to find something the target has never done to escape their mindscape… which tangentially may be a problem if he tries to hide that way… or needing to be replied to.
On the note of hiding in a mindscape Noah does not appear to care enough about Rat to try to save him on purpose but hiding is something he has done many times and as such appears likely to be attempted again possibly freeing Rat in the process.

After all this years will we finally see Noah's powers again? I certainly hope so!

You already have our precious Theodore! Leave Noah alone! :O

Well if he tries, at the very least he won't be able to kill Rat's daughter with her father's hands at least. Not much of a comfort, but it denies Timmy the extra cruelty he was going for.

Ciel is still smiling. She probably just don't have feelings, which mean she cannot literally worry, but I wonder if there's another conlcusion she's going to share.

This is why noah has to be my favorite of the stories, Because it leaves us pondering the magic system you've left for us to slowly figure our and gives us an interesting character with no offensive capability but a power that is very interesting and hard to safely use, and then there is Ciel who appears to be essentially has all knowledge of noah (Even the stuff he doesn't notice). part of me hopes noah doesn't get saved and we see noah worm his way out of this using one of his unique skillsets that even the nightmares don't know of. Ciel or his Power
30705: Thursday - Friday, March 18 2022 - 5:36 PM
At least he didn't agree with killing the magic-users that couldn't fight back

Remember, Noah: When all else fails, SING!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

If A Loquacious Theorizer is right about the syncing, maybe all Noah has to do to stay safe from being taken over is to keep his mouth shut.
Though, the skeleton Timmy was on didn't need to do that. ...unless that skeletal beast was Timmy's original body!
I'm starting to think that timmy is not very nice
*softly chanting* Jump, jump, jump (into rat's mind)
