It even worked for White Chain. It's weird she forgot, actually.

This is for her, too. She's spent a while getting really frustrated by the realities of trying to be a just ruler, even while she insists she isn't a ruler.

Yeah, Dave's not wrong in that the people want her as leader and WC is desperately trying to avoid it, I suspect largely out of fear she'll end up just like him.

His (and Gog-agog's) observation that the masses see him as the loser and White Chain as his successor isn't wrong. He's just unable to think outside the box of might makes right. Then again, I'm not sure he expects any of them to still be alive 11 days from now.

Salami Dave's the single person in history to care about the score at the end of a game of Civilization and he's very disappointed that White Chain is just making the map make sense

Joe Slowboat posted:

He's also developed a distinct twist on it, that he got from Gog-Agog: The people will demand a tyrant, even if you don't want to be one. In this new way he's articulating it, legalism - as in, humans must be governed harshly and brought in line - is not a demand made by a philosopher-king to set the world right, but a demand made by the masses who desire for someone else to do it for them.

So it's a shift! But it's not really a good one, he's just adopting more of Gog-Agog's nihilistic opinion of human affairs, and sees the archon of the Law before him as a possible answer to that cry for an impossibly perfect ruler.

He used to believe genuinely in himself, and in the one who would defeat him and replace him as the greater man. I don't think he has faith in a better age anymore, because he wasn't actually prepared for diamond to break.

Thank you, that finally helped me put into words why WC's anger is so impotent and unroyal; because it's born of the same emotion that rules all the demiurges.

I'm somewhat confused by the most recent pages. Last time White Chain met the other angels, she died, didn't she? Can she just do that whenever she wants? Go see that weird space council?

She didn't die, she was separated/banished from her body. Angels can do that willingly - remember Vigilant Gaze's body was just chilling in an angel police station while he stayed in that plane.

Presumably she can now do this without leaving her body as a new type of being, similar to how humans can fully travel there (without dying or leaving a body behind) as a weak shadow, which Allison did early on in the comic.

P sure the whole thing with the needle was to keep her from coming back to her body at will, not to get her there to begin with. 2 Michael just pops right on over after her for a chat after all and he's not going through that

Animegami was based in the UK. My paypal receipt has the animegami.co.uk site and a UK phone number. I dug up their corporate record, found out the Official Receiver for their insolvency, and https://www.gov.uk/register-creditor-bankruptcy suggests contacting them to be added to the list of creditors. I emailed the office I found and they confirmed they were handling the liquidation case, so I figured 'might as well' and replied saying the company owed me 260.50 GBP or the statue.

I printed up some emails and Animegami.co.uk's page and I'm gonna make an appointment at a bank branch if the Examiner says :lol: or says it's unlikely I'll receive anything.

White Chain has had emotions before, just not hormone-enhanced ones. A bit of stress and adrenaline can do wonders for your aggressive urges.

I think she's perfectly justified in being angry, even unto violence, at the tyrant who not only stood for everything that she despised, but has now forcibly declared her his heir and punted the job at the precise moment when it became the worst job in the entire omniverse.

Just because he's doing a sad dad act now instead of a smug dad act doesn't really change that for me. I don't think he should get the key back but 'you should come back and help clean up your goddamn mess' is pretty understandable.

WC isn't here to redress wrongs. She's venting, which is fine if you're into it; violence is cathartic. He's currently just a convenient target to lash out at.

WC would never go back to what she was, nor will Solomon. In theory they both have what they wanted - WC craved agency and has been given the power to realize it, but does not trust herself to do so. On the other side, Solomon believes that in giving away his power he has shed the responsibility to act
