Of course Coyote's tooth laughs like he does. Of course.

I think Parley will turn this down. The tooth is not only creeping her out, but it's also not a weight, length or edge she is familiar with. She won't be anywhere near as effective with it. I have to ask, if the goal is to kill Jeanne or free her? Because Coyote's tooth is only going to do the first of these things...

They want to get to the device and get rid of it so Jeanne can move on http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=957 Jeanne wasn't killed by the device directly, the forest man was the one who was actually shot. I wonder if this is going to come into play...

She won't be anywhere near as effective with it. I wouldn't think the physical aspects would deter her from using the sword. She was already considering using a weapon different to her longsword. Coyote's tooth is shorter and lighter, perhaps just what she was looking for. The laughing is just something she'll have to (wo)man up to.

The sword is really a wiffle bat, isn't it?

It's just a laughing sword that can cut through linework. What's the worst that could happen? ed: Either that or heat-shimmer. I prefer the first explanation though. vvvvvvv Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Nov 26, 2011 |

^^^^^ Considering Coyote said it could cut the earth itself, I think the first explanation is more likely.SynthOrange posted:It's just a laughing sword that can cut through linework. What's the worst that could happen? Oh wow, I didn't even notice that. So its a laughing sword made from the tooth of a trickster god that can literally distort/cut reality around it.

The only things it can cut are pre-conceived notions and jibes.

You know, I've just thought up the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is if Jeanne disarms Parley and takes the Coyote-knife.

Fangz posted:You know, I've just thought up the worst case scenario. Given that the tooth is from Coyote I'm pretty sure he could probably just summon it back to him. Though he may not because he'd probably find a psycho rage ghost running around with one of his teeth rending the earth and all that poo poo to be down right hilarious.

I wouldn't worry about Coyote's knife, it's ACME, the worst that can happen is the thing not cutting crap. Or blowing up in your face. Nevermind, now I'm worried.

Dodgeball posted:The knife is going to kill Smitty, isn't it? Yes. Smitty is going to die, Parley is going to die, everyone is going to die. It's going to turn into Gun'er Down Court and it will all end with Annie getting shot by Jones who is actually Eglamore while riding Boxbot and Annie will fall off the bridge and into the river like the end of Scarface. And Tom's Formspring account will shut down the Internet. Ironic Twist fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Nov 27, 2011 |

Now I want them to have a dramatic build up to using the sword against something and then have it just bend like a rubber toy sword. Or it gets pushed back into the grip, giving us a dramatic stab AND a big let down. Followed directly by an update consisting entirely of a giant version of:

Coyote never lies though. He says it can split the earth, that means that is true. The question is how literal that statement is, and in what sense it will occur.

I don't think Tom would be averse to killing a character if it would be important to the story. So far he's killed Jeanne, her green elf-boyfriend, Sivo, that pyro ghost kid, and an unnamed shadowman. (And Annie's mom, but that might be seen as natural causes.) I don't expect some kind of horrible slaughter, but it wouldn't surprise me if Parley or Smitty were to die at some point.

He's also fairly permanently removed Kat's boyfriend, killed the two suicide fairies (temporarily) and terminated the recently revived old robot. It isn't quite a massacre, but yeah, I don't think character death is off the table.

I think he's playing it Joss Whedon style. Lull us into a false sense of security and then the moment we start really liking the characters and not thinking anything could happen to them he kills off Kat.

If that's what he were doing it seems like he's approaching the point that it'd make sense to do something like that. Except now having read/said this I might be sort of slightly prepared for the next few chapters.

Coyote is going to die and resurrect. Just to gently caress with people.

Does Coyote even want to remove the barrier between the court and the forest? What if 'cutting the earth itself' is more literal and using it there will completely split the forest and court, maybe cutting the court off from Aetheric power entirely?
