At the very least it gives Kat an excuse to build a submarine-bot. Preferably one that's not sentient.

I'd have to check to see what's keeping the spirits on their side of the river. I thought it was something else.

What's Pibgorn anyway?

It started off as a quaint story about a pianist who rescued a fairy and meet a lady demon. Then the government tried to kidnap the fairy. Then torture porn where women were impaled by spiked trees growing through them. Then a pleasant detour with "A Midsummer nights dream". Then the pianist became Mozart and got laid.

Sometime after that a Bogart copycat demon tortured the lady demon. The bogart copycat was redeemed because he felt sorry for torturing killing the lady demon he so loved. Sometime after that there was a fling between a vampire and an alien. More gross implied sex. That lead to a war of the worlds "homage" with more implied sex. Then the fairy becomes death. Somehow that lead to the Bogart ripoff torturing the daughter of the lady demon. The two fell in love with each other. This is in a world where the me

I don't know what the current storyline is. I wish it was still posted to the comic strip mega thread just to see what happens next. Maybe it needs its own thread.

Edit: I almost forgot. Men in the comic are either demonic torturers of women or they are happy to be emasculated and dependent on women. Women are strong, "attractive", and inclined to either have sex, save lives, or be tortured in horrible ways for prolonged periods of time.

There's also a creepy farmer who makes regular crossovers between 9CL and Pibgorn. He doesn't torture women but he does want to have hand-sex with a grandmother in 9CL. We give Mookie a hard time but at least he isn't as bad as Brooke McGams.

Coyote knows Jones's true form, and Tea-San said the nickname didn't come from mythology.

We've spent so much time looking at the stories of the past. What if Coyote took her name from a different kind of story. A STORY OF THE FUTURE!

We do know some of the computers limits.

Donald couldn't just wish the supplies where they were supposed to go. He had to procure supplies he didn't have on-hand (scapels and blades) and he had to launch them with a rocket to a satellite. The computer created temporary doorways but I don't think we'd ever seen the computer teleport a person.

Those imply a lot of barriers: a maximum distance and complexity for what can be teleported, limits to how many doorways can be created or used, and the need to have items prepped before they can be teleported.

There are other limits too. The computer didn't control the robots; they had their own wills and desires. It couldn't cure Zimmy or take care of the spiders. Coyote and Reynard were able to shape-shift, posses other bodies, even manipulate the size and location of the moon. I doubt the computer could do that.

The computers powers may seem godlike the powers are bound to the court. We just don't know when the boundaries are going to get hit.

The best part about this is that we don't know for sure which is [sic: Ysengrin's true form.] My theory was that the ether form is the way he truly is, the tree form is how others see him, and the scraggly dying wolf is how he sees himself.

Coyote asked a trick question. Annie never saw Ysengrin's true form - she'd only seen some aspects of his mind, body, and soul.

Ysengrin's physical body is a vessel for his mind and soul. It's also decrepit, vulnerable, no longer self-sufficient. He depends on a wooden suit of armor to compensate for his weaknesses and to project power. The suit is only removed when he thinks he's safe and alone.

Ysengrin's spiritual form is a visual representation of his soul, independent of his inner and outer appearances. Souls in Gunnerkreig seem to bind the mind and body to emotions and personality. Lost souls and ghosts appear to retain some emotions and personalities but they don't seem to remember life before death.

We don't know what happens if the soul dies but the body and mind remain. Maybe that happened to Ms. Jones.

What if Ms. Jones was a person and then she stopped being one?

Jones might not have a personality now but that doesn't mean she never had one. Jones and Jimmy Jims grew up together: He treats her like someone near and dear to him. Would Eaglemore really fall for a walking, talking statue?

Something else is off. Artificial creations in Gunnerkrig have emotions.We've seen Crying Robot, and Robot hugging his best friend Shadow. Shadow is one of Coyote's creations, a glass-eyed men. She isn't a Golem because they can't speak and when they lose their temper they go on killing sprees.

Maybe Jones is a shell of a person? She's relatively small and gentle even though she weighs several hundred pounds and punches thru arms. She's got less personality than a heap of clay. Nothing moves her. It's like her mind is still a mind, her body is still a body, but some sort of divine spark is gone.

Then again Jones might weigh two tons and is very good at masking her emotions.

Well that's... that's interesting. Why would the forest (or not being in the forest) be making Annie sick?

I think the court hospital and her connection to the forest are keeping Annie alive. We know that a body could be kept alive through special means even without a soul present. Just look at Reynard.

Then again I'm the guy who argued that Jones wasn't a soul-less golom because goloms weighed less and had personalities.
