She does have a tendency to go without sleep for days at a time.

The enormous amounts of eyeshadow/huge bags caused by sleep deprivation aren't doing any favors either. The girl does not look well.

I don't understand.

I was comically exaggerating my surprise at the fact that Paz is pronounced "Path" instead of "Pass" as I have been pronouncing it in my head since she was introduced.

In reality, this is not actually a big deal. I am a little annoyed with myself about it, though, since I knew how z was pronounced in Spain-flavor Spanish and I still thought of her name like Latin-America-flavor Spanish for no good reason.

I've always pronounced it the same way Big Boss does in Peace Walker.

That's how anyone in Latin America would pronounce it (Pas). In Spain they pronounce the "z" a bit more like "th" (not exactly though). A lot of people who are having trouble with English pronunciation are told to pronounce the "th" sound like a z, which is also close but not quite enough.

They're not supposed to be there and are hiding out in the utility closet.

I thought it was more from massive sleep deprivation...but I'm sure creepycity exposure isn't exactly helping either.

Well yeah, that's the obvious real explanation. I mean, to overexplain one step further, it's probably the only place where Gamma can see the ocean in person, not through a window, and Zimmy can hide from it for Zimmy Reasons, and they can still be together. All Gamma has to do is open the door a bit.

I really like these two, and hope this arc features them heavily.

she's been so excited that she hasn't been able to sleep, explaining the circles around her eyes.

but when she does inevitably fall asleep, zimmy is gonna take them on a cruise into...the creepytown zone.

I think Gamma and Zimmy are going to spectacularly fall out, with Gamma's increasingly burned-out appearance being the 1st hint of this. Jack, Jenny and Annie will provide a subplot for the chapter. I'm anticipating lots and lots of deathglares occurring :neckbeard:

Good: that potentially means more pictures of a puzzled looking Kat with an invisible pigeon on her head.

You can never have too many pictures of a puzzled Kat with an invisible pigeon on her head.

On the other hand, Zimmy didn't start seeing Kat as robo-bug monster until things started going wrong for her, in some way that still isn't quite clear. After Gamma left the room in Divine, she was okay with Kat for a while. It was only after the point where she mentioned that things were going bad that she has the bad reaction to Kat. Before that she was just giggling at pigeon-head.

Jenny will turn out to be a despicable monster that will leave us all wondering why Jack is even friends with her or why he gave the impression that they had been friends because her attitude was transparent from the moment she was introduced to the audience.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Zimmy must have a pretty terrible aversion to the sea. I know most people, even those prone to seasickness, don't have as much trouble with giant cruise ships. They're so big, and typically have giant stabilizers, that it's more like just being in a building than on a boat.
