God drat this chapter is awesome. Of course, Tea-san is probably smirking, knowing that future chapters will be even better.

Cannot wait to see how this continues on.

Made an avatar from panel 2, if anyone wants it:



I just love the headmasters expression in this panel. As for Coyote, he's going to be very happy now that he's got two new people to play with, as they will undoutably freak out even more at his antics, where Anne just took things somewhat in stride.

Every chapter is the best chapter, but this has to be my favorite one yet.

Tom, if you're reading this, would it be possible to have a print of Kat's bizarre Zimmy form and one of Annie in her fire elemental form made? It'd be nifty to put them up next to my Treatise prints.

I figure she saves that for after she's gotten used to it, and she and Rey sit Paz down and give her the "We're her best friends and if you hurt her" talk. Which would probably be a lot more intimidating than normal when the parties involved are made of fire and a giant wolf.

I would love to see Kat's reaction to Annie just bursting into flames one day.

Although, it's a good thing Annie didn't turn into fire when she saw Kat and Paz making out, 'cause nothing kills the mood better than seeing your best friend burst into flames when she spots you making out with your girlfriend.

"So I heard you dumped my best friend." *WHOOSH* "LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT."

I'm pretty sure in the near future the court is going to assign a robot the task of following Annie around all day with a fire extinguisher.

We do know that the tic-tocs weren't created by Diego. That's probably relevant.

That and I think the tic-toc that was "growing" (for lack of a better term), was doing it on the forest side, where as Jeanne is on the court side of the river. But yeah, she's pretty much going to see anything robotic as an extension of Deigo, who is pretty much #1 on her poo poo list.

I think though that they probably had to have some kind of "sacrifice" for their magical arrow doohickey thing. Though, that was the green dude, right?

Yeah, it looks like they took advantage of some event which required the court to be at the river, as there are several people on the court side of the river, which Jeanne and elf dude were going to use to escape to the forest side. The court then sniped the elf dude, and used his love for Jeanne to bind her to the river.

Wyld Karde posted:

Smitty raises a good point. Annie also has a good counterpoint. Looks like she's fixin' to get her psychopomp on.

Helping Jeanne get to the other side to possibly be with her love again is probably a good thing. What protection she was provided the court seems to be negated by the bridge anyway. Although I am interested in what the court currently knows about her. It's probably a note saying "Don't go down to the river, there's something that seems to kill everyone. Best avoid." and one bright spark decided that a bridge neatly side stepped the issue.

Going by Robot and his creepy cult, Kat is well on her way to being able to create robots who can experience "true death", so it's just a matter of time.

It's nice to see how far Annie has progressed, from the start where she had no idea about blinker stone's and now she's throwing fireballs around like Mario. It'll be interesting seeing her trying to explain this to her classmates, especially when she goes full fire elemental.

We're well on our way to Fun City LEVEL 6! Wooo.

Pretty sure the robots are going to achieve the opposite affect. The ship won't become flesh, but Kat will go all Zimmy Robo-Goddess and then poo poo is gonna get really real.

Any bets on if Robot's crazy death cult show up and start a fight because the other S series robots are interfering with their goddesses "plans"?

Oh god this chapter is going to be really painful to get through. I do really like that the whole class is concerned for Annie. Pretty sure the gossip around the students of the court will be "Did you know Annie's dad is a massive arsehole? Seriously, what a dick. No wonder she had issues when she first came here"

I've got this faint sense that this might just end with Tony breaking down and begging Donnie to help with Antimony because he has absolutely no idea how to reach the real her - something like he's waiting for her to start acting like Surma Jr. (because he remember how to manage that) without figuring out that there's a fair old chunk of Carver stoicism in there as well.

I mean, from the reports he's gotten she's certainly been acting a lot like her mother - medium-in-training, spending time in the woods, paying as little attention as possible to the rules so he comes in expecting that to continue but she suddenly clams up and becomes...well, what she's become in the last few chapters.

That's how I see this going as well. As far as Tony goes, taking care of Annie has always been someone else's problem. When he was working on a cure for Surma, she was looking after Annie and when she died, Annie became Tony's problem, but he solved that by foisting her off onto the court. Now he's back, and Annie is once again his to care for and as we've seen, he's got absolutely no idea.

Wait, what? How little does Tony know about etheric science? You'd think it would be handy to know about, considering he married the Court's half-elemental medium.

Does... does he even know what a blinker stone is? (Part of me wants this to be the Gunnerkrigg Court version of the three seashells joke)

I think he'd be like Kat. Knows it exists, but can't use it himself because he's too grounded in the scientific mindset.

Anyway, how does a meeting work when the Court's locked up the other side's envoy? The whole diplomatic process probably goes a lot more smoothly when you don't do that.

It probably involves marching over the bridge (which bypasses the demon lady down by the river that would ruin your day) and threatening to ruin their day until a meeting is held.

And the psychopomps and their plans for her.

Plus Kat's research and the robo cult.

and the origins of the court, what exactly the "seed bismuth" is, why the court decided to trap Jeanne in the first place and why the court/forrest split happened in the first place to name a few more plot threads that we're waiting on.

Still plenty to cover. I expect to still be reading this comic for another decade.
