This makes me wonder if something's gone down specifically in the past six months to prompt this.

Clearly, living in a post-apocalyptic vine hellscape patrolled by enforcement bots and paranoid border guards has had no effect on these teens' psyches.

It's just a weird protective flex anyway.

It's not that weird, the situation with Second Annie showing up out of the blue is pretty weird but Paz being protective isn't weird at all.

Being protective isn't weird, the threatening part is, it's weird IRL, the whole "don't hurt her or you'll be sorry" moments are always weird posturing.

It's not nearly as cringe as a guy who also likes one's partner doing it.

I do wonder if this wasn't prompted by Court Annie's behaviour.

Knowing Kat, it's probably just her working herself insane trying to science out why the gently caress there's two Annies around and how can both of them be real, and it taking its toll on Paz.

Off-topic, but your gang tag makes me wonder if you ever played Vagrant Story, the game where the male player character spends the entire game in assless chaps.

I'm familiar, it's one of those games I never got to play back in the day and nowadays it looks like it'd be too much of a hassle to do so. I'm a big fan of FFT tho and Ramza also got some assless chaps in that game.

Yes, he is quite mad.
Ramza got butt pants.

It's occurred to me that Kat will probably get the Annies to try using those controllers she made for her computer, the ones she swapped ownership of Rey with.

Same designer and artist. VS has some proto-Dark Souls elements as well, bit it's very dated now.

I never finished Vagrant Story but I loved what I played of it because every time you beat a boss it would shift to the pair of villains losing their poo poo because they have no idea who the gently caress could even accomplish such thing and how they're getting out of this mess

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

VS has a wonderful atmosphere and story (the last island refuge of magic in a world that used to be full of it (FFTactics and FF12), all but forgotten) but dang it is clunky as heck to try and play. A whole bunch of politics and shaky alliances and double-crosses and spies and people finding out what they actually signed up for.

It's one of those games I got to duck the tedium for because my friend had it in college so when we hung out I'd find out what plot I missed while skipping the grinding.

He only becomes a hobo at the end.

It might be the only game ever where the main character starts as a cop and ends up a (unkillable superhuman) hobo and this is treated as a good thing.

It's a shame there will never be a sequel (although thematically every Souls game basically is).

I'm a little disappointed in the faces for this chapter. I had to look at the comments to understand what the hell Paz was doing with her eyes. Normally Tom is much better with simplistic facial expressions conveying a whole range of emotions.

Paz freaking out at Forest Annie is going to cause her to act especially standoffish and awkward, which will convince the friend group that she's the real Annie and the short-haired one is fake.

I'm only really seeing it in this page where I had to concentrate to realise Paz's face was not a "What the hell am I even looking at?" face and be able to read the last two panels properly.

Yeah, I didn't really "get" the story of the game when I first played through it, but I came back to it years later in college and holy poo poo did I love the story and atmosphere then. Really, the game could easily be remade using an active battle system like Dark Souls and it would be loving amazing (I always felt it would have worked better this way anyways). Not to mention the soundtrack is also top-notch and has my favorite video game credits theme.

Aside from VS chat, though, it looks like somebody also invited her to the party <:mad:>

So, who is the title's her?
  • Spare Annie seems like the obvious choice, but probably too obvious.
  • Kat is a tempting choice, since that's basically what Paz made it all about.
  • Paz being, of course, the other possibility, since she's the one that seems to have a problem with Viewpoint Annie.

Brinnie, she got back during the time skip.

She was actually in the last chapter the entire time, just off-panel.

I figured the "her" was both annies
Annie 1 has to deal with Annie 2
Annie 2 has to deal with Annie 1
Every character has to deal wih there now being a second Annie, in general, and that will probably vary character to character on if there's a problem with either annie in particular.

My guess is in the time skip Paz has encountered and been freaked out by mecha-Kat, who is coming ever closer to apotheosis, and is a bit freaked out by it.

Surma baited Rey for the Court, as far as we know he always had a thing for humans.
