So are we going to spend the next three pages speculating over why Parley's chest is all lit up?

drat. So they secured the Court's border by making Jeanne an eternal sentinel? That's pretty cold.

The real question here is was Jeanne being straightforward or speaking in metaphor when she said they shot and trapped her heart in the river?

Don't be silly, she was in love with the elf dude. "Leaving one's heart" is not an uncommon expression. There's "twist" and there's "technicality" and I highly doubt elf dude was her literal heart come to life. (Parley's chest is glowing due to her "gleaming heart", whatever that is.)

Jesus. This is all sort of old hat for Annie, but Parley just got overwhelmed. Not only overwhelmed, but overwhelmed by a love story when she herself cannot admit that she is in love. At least I don't remember her ever saying anything to Smitty. If this doesn't push her in that direction, I sure as hell don't know what would. Hopefully Annie can push through her sadness and run interference before Jeanne does something...

ChibiSoma posted:Hopefully Annie can push through her sadness and run interference before Jeanne does something...  I'm guessing that Parley's glowing heart has more to do with etheric communication. It appeared when she touched Annie during her projection. A guy in the webcomic thread suggested that maybe Parley is just a lens for powers--Smitty's order-inducing is turned into teleportation that puts her where she "belongs", and Annie's spiritual powers become, uh... this.

So can a person enter the etheric world without a head, anyway?

Yeah, seriously, I thought it was pretty obvious flashback time was initiated now because Parley wants to have Smitty's babies. All the babies. To the degree that even watching a romantic movie is enough to make her teleport to him. Carver, for all her wonderful qualities, isn't really romantically interested in anyone. If everyone you know got together to kill your lover, I'd imagine that would be a bit of a sore spot for you. It's not enough to be sensitive to those sorts of things if you don't have an empathic connection to the subject. Two women in love have a lot more in common than a ghost and a medium.

Phy posted:Yes, I'm quite sure that everything Coyote has ever said has been 100% factually true. Well of course not. He is a trickster after all. But I think he's being honest when he tells Annie the stories he tells or shows her. Granted he leaves things out (like not saying which version of Ysengrin was the real one).

I don't know... initially I agreed with you and I still want to agree with you but "the useless shell of my body was ensnared by the green light and discarded over time" makes it sound like something's up. We didn't see a green light in the earlier river scenes, did we?

A two part sacrifice. Kill her love, her heart to create a heartless sentinel forever bound to the river.

In the absence of other evidence I say it is Manly Elfsberry--an outcast among elves, driven into the arms of a human for his tragic ruggedness, grotesque size and complete inability to prance.

I'm happy I managed to predict the whole "gleaming heart" thing - more or less, anyway. It's still a drat good piece of storytelling, though.

Fuego, as a dude who appreciates you enough to play M&M with you, sometimes people can just say poo poo and you don't need to reply to it because it doesn't mean crap (and even if it did you certainly shouldn't care). Haters going to hate, etc.

One is to tell the truth, but tell just enough to let the listener jump to the wrong conclusions. The other is to tell the truth, but tell it so unconvincingly that the listener believes you're lying. I'm not even sure if I was being sarcastic or not.

By the way - what's the symbol on Parley's chest? It's there amidst the glow. Her shirt had no designs on the front, so what the hell is it? E: Here, this thing:  E: vvv Ahh, why so it is! Had to go back quite a few for that one. Well, that's one mystery solved, I guess! ChibiSoma fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Sep 28, 2010 |

Man this is a great comic. Jeanne's anger is palpable and so deserved... I hope Annie and Parley get out of this alright without Jeanne messing with them too much. Especially so that Parley can go back and have all the babies with Smitty

Yeah, while I'm not hoping Parley dies, I'm also hoping that she doesn't get away from this unscathed. It would significantly detract from Jeanne's menace if both of the girls escaped while she just kinda stands there and shakes her fist.
