Unrelatedly, in re-reading all the Parley and Smitty chapters, I think that Jones' suggestion for the new medium is both of them working together.

I think Jones might have more in mind for Parley/Smitty than just being mediums.

You mean like in the still to come "main" plotline of investigating Jeanne that they're going to play a part in soon?

Jones is not a robot, not Jeanne, not the eye of Odin, not the eye of Horus-Re, not the eye of Coyote, not the eye of Vecna, and probably not the literal eye of any other random person.

She is also not Eglamore. Just so we're clear.

Look at the title of this chapter. "The Stone".

Stone elemental, just like Annie is a fire elemental.

This chapter may be slow paced so far, but it doesn't feel irrelevant or just hammering the "Jones is old" point so far-this is her life we're seeing, or at least the highlights reel. I'm pretty happy with that, even if we're not getting much information about her abilities/skills/etc just yet. If nothing else, it's certainly pretty to look at.

If we ever start getting Gunnerkrigg Court Technical Manual-type breakdowns of just what each character's Power Level is the comic will be headed down a dark loving path.

I meant more moments like where Jones stopped the spear, and countered Eglamore's attack, rather than DBZ-style stuff.

It's new page time.

I know people are thinking this Jones flashback is dragging a bit, but this page is just awesome. It looks really good, and it amuses me that Jones doesn't seem to care that her dress might be about to catch fire.

Jones dress caught fire when she walked too close to a torch that morning. She didn't notice, and went around her business through the day at the market and the senate an other locations through the city...

Jones saw no reason to remove the fire for the rest of the day.

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.
