Jagahog is all you need, but I'm sure that hog is there to balance out angelic nipples for equal representation.

I'll take a longshot bet: it's one of Solomon's faildescendants, who occupied some middle office back in the old days, and is trying to be moderate and bureaucratic about the transition to this bold new era, and therefore proved more popular than White Chain on the basis of presenting the illusion that a return to stability and business as usual was possible. Clearly the factotum is an ally of White Chain rather than an enemy, because they keep her around in a position of authority and respect. But just as clearly a complicated one.

It's all the failsons, embroiled in a relatively tame physical struggle, and whoever gets their face out the door long enough gets to shout some orders. White Chain volunteered to be the interpreter, like Jadis had her high priest.

I don't know about "ally" per se, I could see there being a fairly hefty amount of "I know you could squash me like a fly but I'm relying on your preexisting respect for authority to do the lifting of making sure you don't no matter how much of a prick I am" from a failson politician, and WC going along with it because this authority is a democratically elected one and thus "the will of the people". She was about to throw down with allison for the crimes of "line cutting" and "attempting to enter a building after business hours" so it's an open question still how much authority she has or if she's building security with an office who follows the war progress in her spare time, too Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Aug 19, 2023 |

Did any characters on the Rayuba side of the big fan submission war survive, and if so were any of them remotely the sort of character that might wind up in a leadership position? Having them show up as the factotum might be an interesting way to introduce one or more of those characters into the comic itself.

The film between the essence and its vessel. Muscle memory persisting beyond muscle and memory.

I thought the Factorum would be Nyave. She has the education, it would tie into Solomon’s daughter/son issues, her own ascendence from someone intended to be sacrificed to a world-devouring queen to someone who’s a world-saving queen replacing a demiurge’s corrupt system, and it would show a change from the might = right rulership. I don’t feel like it’ll be anyone with strong kung-fu, I feel it’ll be White Chain protecting a system, or person, that needs people who can defend it with the sword but isn’t ruling by the sword.

ThaumPenguin posted:Oh yeah it's almost certainly Nyave, we're just coming up with Scenarios Yeah even not factoring in who's a likely candidate or not, this seems to be the part of the comic where Allison is reuniting with all her companions one by one. So this is likely to continue that trend. So it being someone Allison knows well seems very likely if that's the case. And unless Princess suddenly developed some political acumen (good for them if so), Nyave is probably the only option that makes sense. VG is cool and all but he's more in White chain's circle than Allison's, so it doesn't seem likely to be him. But I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see what he's doing eventually, assuming he's stuck around.

Nyave would make sense but the Factotum not being an ally of Allison would be more dramatically impactful as a source of conflict. Could go either way.Google Jeb Bush posted:You know, I was wondering the other day. Jadis says there's no afterlife for Allison (or arguably that she dissolves and returns to the Warm Black Flame and loses her identity more permanently than when devils do), but we have a bunch of undead hanging around Throne. How do they work, metaphysically, if human souls objectively do not persist after death? I guess it's possible that undeath means your soul keeps hanging around for longer, not that you're brought back. Probably not a pleasant condition.
