Jeanne has the scariest face  I can not help but wonder if Coyote's tooth might play some role in this chapter. Of course, I have no idea if Annie brought it with her or even if she would have any access to it while stuck in ethereal form. I don't think she has any training in its use yet, either, but maybe Parley could do something with it? <ninja edit> Helloo new page!

Kismet posted:I honestly think you're reading way too much into that scene. Reynardine is a trickster, a wild animal, and a bit of a dick. Given the choice between languishing in chains with an old body and a gimped leg for god only knows how long, or leaping into the young teenage daughter of a lady he once had the hots for, he went for Annie. She wouldn't have died so long as he hung out in her body, and I doubt he was thinking that far ahead when an opportunity to escape presented itself. Actually, I remember reading somewhere that when Reynardine possesses someone's body they "die" (their consciousness does anyway) pretty much immediately. <ninja edit> Think this was from Tom's formspring Reynardine's body-snatching powers, loving how do they work? posted:Q. Does someone die the instant Reynardine takes over their body, or are they still conscious on some level until he exits the body? Oneiros fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Sep 30, 2010 |

Elftor posted:It looks like they teleported to an identical set of steps, just without Annie and Kat there. Or did they teleport somewhere and then teleport back to the same steps a second later? I'm a little confused and possibly retarded. I think Parley was just testing her powers a bit and teleported somewhere and back again; Annie and Kat are just out of the frame.

Penguissimo posted:This behaviour is a little confusing in light of how she handed the Kat-Aly situation: What's changed? It's probably just that Annie is much closer and more sensitive to Kat than she is to Parley and Smitty. I don't get the impression that she sees the two much outside of Medium training. <edit> I mean, hell, Parley didn't even know who Kat was at the beginning of the chapter. They're just not in the same social circles (if Annie could be said to exist in one at all). <double edit> VVV That too. VVV Oneiros fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Oct 19, 2010 |

According to wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge...wiki posted:Reynardine is a traditional English ballad; in versions most commonly sung and recorded today, Reynardine is a werefox who attracts beautiful women to him so that he can take them away to his castle. It's probably just a nickname she gave to tease him for his advances.

Annie  . I'm sure Kat would help you with your physics homework if you just asked.Anyone else a little confused as to where this chapter is going? So far we have Surma leading Reynard on, some awkward moments with Jack, and now Annie (probably) about to abuse Kat's trust again.

lllllllllllllllllll posted:Interesting development. Up until now the main character seemed to be the sincere, dedicated type and difficulty at school was not expected. Now she both took her friend's homework without permission and tries to copy it. Strange. She's been shown cheating off of Kat's work before and breaks the rules regularly. This is not exactly a new character development, just a further exploration of one.

And now we know the meaning behind Reynard's line "and this means... she is gone". He knew what would/had happened between Annie and her mother. He knew that Annie being at the school meant that Surma was dead. e;fb ^^^

Gravitas Shortfall posted:If this is Blinker Stone fire, it doesn't actually burn. IIRC it's been mentioned that the stone is more of a lens for etheric powers rather than a source. I have a suspicion that if she wants it to burn, it burns. I think someone (Eglamore?) may have just gotten toasted .

Mirage posted:I do enjoy reading your barely-restrained irritation into the goofy questions you get, Tom. It's even more fun to read your answers in Alan Rickman's voice. But Formspring shouldn't be a chore. I think the problem is that to answer just the good questions you still have to sift through the ocean of inane bullshit. Yesterday's 12x"This has not been shown in the comic" was amusing but if it's a chore I wouldn't hold it against Tea-san if he simply dropped it altogether.

EoRaptor posted:Also, she didn't actually agree to stay. Coyote made the offer, and her reply was a confirmation of the offer, not an acceptance. Coyote has chosen to misinterpret this, but she isn't for sure staying yet. I don't think she ever thought the offer would be made. In all her previous encounters with Coyote he has been insistent on her going back to the Court despite her obvious desire to stay in the forest and learn more from him.

DontMockMySmock posted:I think EoRaptor was right; he gave up a significant power and doesn't want the rest of the forest to know he's been weakened. Either this or he thinks (probably rightly) that the other beings of the forest would not respond well to the knowledge that he gave a human such a gift / power. Ysengrin, for one, would certainly be enraged by the very idea of a human receiving a gift from Coyote.

DontMockMySmock posted:Well, then, this whole plot line is confusing me. Whatever! The humans wear the suppressors and put the decoy transmitters on the robots, who presumably will then bumble around the dorms in a "beep boop I am a soft human" fashion. The girls then make their escape when the robots would normally leave. The tracking signals are still coming from the dorms and Lindsay has poor eyesight so she thinks they are the robots leaving. Unrelated, but the bit about Kat on Tom's twitter page today is  on multiple levels.<edit> VVV I figured it was someone on the GC forums, I forgot that the comments section existed.

SynthOrange posted:Huh, I wasnt imagining it. After going back to the last chapter their proportions have changed quite a bit. I've been wondering for a while now how much of the change we've been seeing in the characters is Tom portraying their aging and how much is simply the evolution of his style. Also, is it just me or is Annie actually reaching out to touch someone else (other than Kat) something of a new thing?

Revolver Bunker posted:Was looking on Amazon at the third volume and it says that the None Edition is coming out in Sept. Is that by a different publisher? http://www.amazon.com/Gunnerkrigg-Court-Vol-3-Reason/dp/1936393239/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1313426657&sr=8-2 I think the "None Edition" is just an error someone made. Sept. 13 date was the original release date and just hasn't been updated to reflect that it's actually out now.

Nicolae Carpathia posted:...why would anyone think Kat and Annie were going to hook up at all in the first place? I can definitely see where the perception comes from, but I can not imagine reading GC if I thought its only redeeming feature was my perceived sexuality of the two (underaged) female leads. Honestly, that is pretty damned shallow. And creepy. Remember kids, if you don't depict your lead characters as being homosexual you are obviously anti-gay and a horrible person

Nicolae Carpathia posted:It's not a very good perception, it's just the idea that two characters can't be close emotionally unless they're attracted to each other. (Which is probably why Chibisoma also thought Zimmy and Gamma were the weird kids designated to be gay, even though Zimmy and Gamma aren't lesbians either.) You see this all over the place. It seems that a lot of people are incapable of accepting that sort of close relationship as being platonic. Beyond that, shippers simply be crazy.

Crazy Joe Wilson posted:I hope I'm not the only one who thinks Annie's comments are just something smart to through Jack off, not an actual dismissal. Her reaction to his "phew" seems to be she was *not" expecting that (and is a little angry), which means she probably expecting another <strike>collar pop</strike> move by him (that she probably wouldn't oppose). Think about how Annie reacted to Jack wanting to hug her previous to her little forest adventure. I think that her ability to respond to that sort of thing has changed (improved) such that now she can make light of his advances but her general feelings about Jack haven't changed much. His "Phew" was definitely unexpected though and I can't wait till Friday to find out what that is about. I might (almost certainly) be talking out of my rear end, though.

Geekner posted:Seems like a normal side-profile shot. I don't think tom's used them very often though, and they're supposed look a bit different then the usual 3/4th or whatever. Yeah, it's just unusual to actually see Annie's face in side-profile. As far as I have noticed it is very rare and when it is used either her hair is covering most of her face or she is drawn in Tom's low detail style. Also, scruffy hair .

Look how not tired Jack is compared to everyone else - he's spent the day sleeping before hand, because he knows the time window between Annie going to sleep now, and presumeably waking up much later, is the only chance he's got to do whatever he needs to do with the stone. Did I miss something? I don't recall there being any indication that Jack is looking to do sneaky things with the blinker stone.

I don't get why people are so freaking out about this so much. From what we've seen I doubt Robot can even be "hurt" unless he suffers damage to the chip housing his CPU/Memory. Physical damage to his body is just an inconvenience. Shadow 2 on the other hand...is it three-dimensional in that last panel?
