The Walker posted:I think the funniest part to me is that he decided to open his own door very close to, but not on top of the real door. My guess was that he reached for the door handle in case anyone nearby saw him, so as to not attract suspicion, then quickly switched to his own teledoor when the coast was clear. It just looks funny either way, though.

Oh wow, you're right. Totally missed that. Guess he just doesn't give a poo poo and will walk through any door that gets in his way. Donald is great; I'm glad he's gotten some more screen time.

He probably had to use his pocket door in order to avoid any locks and alarms on the real door.

He might just not care where he slaps the door on the wall so long as it opens to where he needs to go which in this case would be more or less near where the physical door opens.

And sure, Donny probably could have used other means to get past them, but Donny doesn't break into rooms like a common thief; Donny has STYLE.

Yeah Tony and Donny are totally the Annie and Kat of their generation. Now that they're nabbing medical supplies, I'm all into the current plot again. Perhaps it will give us a clue as to what Anthony has been up to? I'm sure we won't get all the answers in this chapter, but we may get one of those fun hints that raises even more questions.

I, personally, still have hopes for Anthony. Perhaps he saw how Surma ended up, and is working on a way to prevent Annie from the same. Nah, too obvious, also being a stern parent with a "no boys until 30" stance could've fixed that.

Man, Donald was probably a terrible roommate if he had that portable door during his school years. You'd be in the bathroom and the dude would just bust through the door to grab his deodorant or something.

DaveWoo posted:So obvious, it makes me wonder why Annie's mother/grandmother/etc never thought of it... Adoption in the modern sense -- adopting a young child or an infant -- is a fairly new concept. Prior to something ridiculous like the 1950s, adoption was a thing done if you had no heirs and then it was almost always of an adult. If I recall correctly.

I just binged the whole archive. In one day. One thing I never expected to read was a Harry Potter/X-Files/Princess Mononoke mash-up, but I'll be damned if it isn't the most charming experience, painted with the most subtle strokes.

So the surgical equipment wont be used to get what Tony wanted. It is what Tony wanted. It just occurred to me that those supplies could very well shoot up into the sky only to be shot right back down into another part of the Court we haven't seen before. Unless I'm grossly overestimating the size of the Court, Tony could very well be using his private satellite as a way of getting the supplies he needs without risking being spotted in the inhabited areas of the Court or having his runner get caught. It would also explain why he can't just go get new supplies himself.

Anthony's used to live(?) in a hospital. And now he needs medical supplies. There's a connection here. He wants these scalpels so badly that he's willing to break the silence he has so carefully maintained over the years in order to get them, though apparently he was still careful not to be discovered. He wants these medical supplies more than he wanted to speak with his own daughter - and not because he didn't want to speak with her. Moreover, for some reason, he can't acquire them by conventional means. In the hospital he'd have had ample access to this sort of equipment, so whatever he's doing with all of this stuff, he could've been doing for years and years. Somehow I get the feeling he's not just running a clinic somewhere; this is giving off some seriously sinister vibes. There aren't many other ethical things a person can do with that many sterile disposable blades.

Donny and Anthony sent satellites into orbit as a hobby. Said satellites are still there in a stable orbit. As a hobby.

Yeah, it is really weird that Tony would ask for medical supplies to be delivered like that. It gives me the feeling that he's on the run from something. Reminding everyone of the ComicMix webcomic tournament: Gunnerkrigg's made it to the final 16 and is currently beating Penny Arcade!

Didn't Kat build an anti-gravity displacement vehicle when Annie fell down the ravine. Building satellites as a hobby seems pretty easy.
