Hey, longtime lurker here! When Notos led Saint to the other members of the local group, did it make itself known to them before they got brain blasted? Did anyone fight against getting ascended?

hello hello, you!

Notos is usually glued to Saint's side unless it is scouting ahead or fighting/distracting something, so yes! all Iterators of the Eo group saw Notos with Saint after it joined the plant rat. Notos ain't no bitch and... except its death, it always made a point to face everything head on. there is no use in hiding, things need to be Confronted. its last words in the comic hit that much more cuz of it cuz for once it allows itself to be scared and a coward

Zephyr and Euros didn't really have any reaction because neither had the ability to really Understand or See what was happening, though Notos did do its "requesting response at tone" thing and talking at them

but there were Iterators who had very... explosive reactions to seeing Notos. especially those who Notos had to "shepherd" into not straying from the Mission Self-preservation. friends of Inconvenient Sporadic Change- Gem in an Eye and Sordid Expiation- went as far as to try to damage its overseer out of anger. then there were Iterators like Raspy Rustle and Sadness Makes Perfect who found themselves extremely relieved to see it again. they greeted Notos as an old friend, spoke with it for a while, Notos reassured them that everything will be alright (which it does with every Iterator they come across that is conscious enough before Saint does its thing) and then they were ascended

as for those who resisted...... -side eyes Haboob- i'mma get back to you on that one after Haboob is more properly introduced and you guys get to know her, what her relationship with Notos all entailed, what she did for the Mission... i really want to make a comic for that whole confrontation cuz it's. It Is A Lot.
