I'm betting she is actually making fire but she can't see it and somewhere a part of the court is now burning.
That was my take. They can't see their stuff working but right now the tree is on fire, parley is really far away, and cvet is 12 feet in the air.

Seems like things that are natural to the individual are somehow blocked, while learned/new things are somehow OK.
Hmmm interesting. Could it be their powers / ether "bodies" have been swapped around somehow? Like they're in a Ayilu-type illusion?

Parley and Jimmy can still do compass magic because they're switched. But "Parley" (Jimmy) can't bip.
Renard and the Annies got swapped so they still have their link, but the "Annies" can't use fire.
Cvet is... someone who can't fly.

Huge stretch, and doesn't explain the big guys / directional confusion, but hey, I never have any clue where this comic's going so whatever.

Until the giant made a hand into another being, I assumed they became like toys or something.

  • Rey looks like he's half toy with his stitches showing.
  • Cvet can't fly (I'm just picturing that commercial for Buzz Lightyear's "NOT A FLYING TOY").
  • Annie's flames don't work, much like a kid's toy wouldn't be able to do that.
  • They all appear to be tiny compared to something human looking, looking for them in the background. Like a kid who lost its toy.


I assumed this was just Loup loving with them, making them his literal playthings.

Rey is a toy 100%

The thing that's really weird to me is that Cvet's flight being cancelled doesn't really fit with the rest. Unless there's some hidden magical component to it, it shouldn't be cancelled by an anti-magic field or whatever like the rest of them, she still physically has wings and the muscles to use them!

Unless the limit is not on magic abilities, but on what would allow someone to pull the curtain, so to speak. Everyone is being led down a certain path by someone or something, and they don't want someone to mess with the script.

Given that Cvet is built like a tank and probably doesn't have hollow bones, magic is involved if the in-universe physics is anything like ours.

Those wings aren't nearly large enough to support Cvet non-magically given her musculature.

She notices a bug and steps on it and everyone looks around in a daze. We never get to figure out what the heck was going on in this chapter

Suddenly, glowing writing appears on the creature she's wrestling. In clear block lettering, it reads "STUDENT DEBT", revealing that they've been trapped in a bad political comic.

Gonna guess Smitty. He has presumably come along but isn't in touch with Annie/Reynard so we can't see his perspective.

Could Smitty hold his own against Parley though? She's always been taller/stronger and after her training with Eglamore is in an entirely different league.

I also don't see Smitty as the type to try to attack a golem head on

Pretty sure Jones would just suplex Parley, given her previous history in styling on Eglamore Jimmy Jims with a sword.

And also The Stone.

Oh right, it started attacking Parley first, yeah definitely not Jones. I was thinking Jones would be smart enough to just go "eh fine I know Parley sees me as a weird monster, may as well just hold her off until she realizes what's going on."

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Going back a few pages the creature seems to be mimicking a lot of the other characters positions, which could be a misdirection or coincidence, but maybe it's some sorta mimic and it's mimicking Parley so she's sorta fighting herself right now. Heck the first frame could just be two more mimics mimicking that fight and there aren't sizing shenanigans going on, but I sorta doubt that.

Most likely it's all illusionary and Parley is fighting essentially nothing.
