Dr Subterfuge posted:Anthony was the one who discovered the Tic-tocs were robots. This is where I would have put a link to the page, but I don't actually remember when we learned that. I don't think that's true. The entirety of the tic toc presence in the comic was long before Anthony returned and I don't remember anyone mentioning anything about him when discussing them. Annie herself found out they were robots when she cut open the one that saved her.

Gah I don't know why I think this is true. There isn't any reference to it on either Anthony's page in the wiki or the tic-toc page. My recollection was that Anthony first discovered that the tic-tocs were robots before he left the Court with Surma. It would have been reveled in a story about Anthony before he actually came back, but after Annie herself discovered it.

the first time we learned the tictocs were robots was when one broke when annie went off the bridge

They did have a difference between them for a while/a chapter or two, but when they sorted out their animosity they also filled each other in on what happened and so we got this sort of "merge" of experience.

I mean he lost his hand to raise the dead, and it may have worked if it continued [For some degree of 'work']. As far as occult journeys into madness go, he swung big at least.

It's Boxbot. He was shunned and imprisoned in his current body for meddling in the realms of ornithology and chronology. I think it was covered in one of the side-comics.

When Annie looked at each other, she had a sudden idea: "Ask future Kat to come over and help you built time travel! After all, she already figured it out. You could write her a letter, or something like that." Kat would just sort of fall over from that suggestion. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jun 17, 2020 |

Macaluso posted:Sorry for being dumb, why are people assuming it's Anthony? Was there a page I forgot where he talked about the birds? He knows and likes Kat, he has complementary expertise to hers in superscience, and anyone else who fits that description Kat would know way better than Annie does so this conversation wouldn't make sense. Also if that building in the last panel isn't his current house, it's definitely in the neighborhood (similar style and near the water)

That was probably the best choice, though it probably won't make the conversation any less awkward: "Hey mom, you know those robot birds the Court has been trying to get their hands on? Yeah, I built them." "No, it's not a replica, an alternate timeline version of myself sent them back in time to save Annie when she fell off the bridge." "No, the forgotten god Saslamel confirmed that Annie isn't supposed to exist when we had to renegotiate the etheric contract between her and Reynard." "Oh, I needed to use the contract to transfer the minds of the court robots into biological bodies to restore them to sentience." "I based the mind transference on etheric readings I took from the artifact Diego used to trap the soul of the ghost of the Annan Waters, which we recovered when we freed the ghost." By the end of it I bet Anja has the same expression as Annie after Jones tells her about her history. Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Jun 19, 2020 |
