Judging by this wednesday's comic, we're seeing the penultimate moments of Jeanne's life - right now I'm wondering what exactly the Elf guy will do when he sees her death.

I like Boxbot, you all are going to feel super ridiculous when it turns out that Jones is actually Boxbot's alter ego.

I will say that it was a pretty elaborate arrow that killed Mr. Green, when I think any arrow would have sufficed to just kill him.

I'm pretty sure Muut was talking about Annie still being angry that none of them came for her mother.

One of the things I like about QC its its story format. Obviously the story arcs are linked, but they're also pretty well-contained and separate in mood and perspective. It's a scheme where I can remember a fun plot like the camping trip and just hop back to it to go through again. So I was wondering, do people have a favorite story so far? (Here is the list.)

Off the top of my head I'd pick the medium training one. Sure it's not very action-y, but I like the interaction of the characters and the little mysteries that pop up.

Uh, hello?

You remember that she is a professional soldier, yes?

Not to rag on anyone, but I can't help wondering whether there'd be this much debate if the character wasn't a willowy blonde woman. She's a soldier, she's been shown to have an explosive temper, and she at least appeared to attack Annie. I could be completely wrong, but on the surface - and bearing in mind how little we've actually seen of her - there is quite a bit of evidence that she has the capacity for violence.

Yeah, according to Rey, he and Ysengrin hadn't come to the forest until after the split. Elf dude was an elf before the split. And according to Coyote, the whole give up your body thing was Ysengrin's idea.

I have no idea why Diego thinks of him as a traitor, though I'm sure we'll find out eventually.

Noooo, she needs to be all up in Smitty's bizzness

This brings up something. How are you guys pronouncing 'Parley' in your head? Par-lee? or Par-lay? Just asking.

Dammit Who? posted:

The page after that has what is probably my favorite panel, where she's giving Annie/Kat the finger.

Pester posted:

And Ysengrim tried something sneaky with seeds during his last visit.

Kismet posted:

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.

Nicolae Carpathia posted:

Lots of people see their lovers murdered before their eyes and they don't turn into spectral beings of pure hatred. Jeanne is just being overly dramatic.

wdarkk posted:

Yeah he did, they had the conversation on the rooftop before.

Why is she patrolling in a dress and not at least a fencer's uniform?

This page is sad.

Not just her heart, her whole life. Straight up murder (and potentially more)!

Boring isn't hitting the bird. Boring is missing the bird and maintaining the status quo.

He'd only have that expression for one panel if that was the case. He has it for two panels, so it's not simple surprise.

Ka0 posted:

Maybe her bones were implanted with vibranium or a similar fantasy metal.

Jones' bones.

Revolver Bunker posted:

Man, in the last panel they all be silently judging.

Rei_ posted:

Let's be honest, solving the mystery of the eternally trapped woman in the river is a tad more important than a high-school crush.

IT IS THE NINETIES, AND THERE IS TIME FOR SMOOCHES

Phy posted:

Oh hey four pages later Annie's concerned about Parley and Smitty and the crushing weight of their unrequited love, and now that they've finally figured it out she's all "BUT THE MYSTERY, GUYS"

Though to be fair she did basically just get her rear end kicked by a ghost so I can't entirely fault her priorities

Mercury Hat posted:

Yeah it's only been maybe one year, if that. Annie transferred in partway through year 7 I think, and she's probably only halfway through year 8.

B-but a nickname can't be longer then the name it replaces. That defeats the whole point of nicknames Surma!

Gravitas Shortfall posted:

Welp, Renard with the nuclear option. Can't see them being friends after this one.

Fecha posted:

The implications of this soul-stealing being hereditary are that Mr. Carver agreed to get her pregnant anyways, and Surma went through with it... why? Was there some particular need for Annie?

Pick posted:

You know, Reynard is an absolute immature poo poo considering he's hundreds of years old. Temper, temper--you're worse than Ysengrin. Even Ysengrin showed more reserve when Annie uncovered a weak point.

Dammit Who? posted:

At this rate she's never going to get that homework done.

Why does this comic not update faster I don't have the strength of will to wait and read it in few-week chunks

Staggy posted:

The art is really shining through now; the distorted panels are used really well.
Annie is going to find someone - probably Kats mum - and tear the poo poo out of them. This will be interpreted by Kat as Annie Being A Butt, holiday trip never happens.

Pick posted:

Boy, way to go Renard! You just devastated an emotionally-damaged kid with a dead mom, an absent dad, and no one she feels she can fully trust! Boy, I bet you're really loving proud of yourself. Gotta be the apex of your centuries, this one.

You'd obviously be a great dad, huh?

I think there is some subtle communication there you guys missed. They both know just how weak Ys is under that wooden body.

Have we ever seen Coyote without his teeth showing before?

This page made me wonder something in a roundabout way. Eglamore said that indoors, at close range, Jones would flatten him. He uses a sword. Is it meant to be implied that he would have had a better chance with more room to move?

Grashnak posted:

Looks like we are going to find out what the deal is with Annie and her mother. It also seems like the court is going to come off looking pretty bad to Annie, what with Jones at least apparently knowing all about it and not telling her.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:

Thought someone might want this.

"Tell me which of these stories you like."

The 19th Person posted:

gently caress your trip that you were so excited for, Kat! I'm going Camping!

Gravitas Shortfall posted:

Yeah, she's pretty much abandoning her only friend here, which is a bit of a dick move.

FredMSloniker posted:

Plus, given that apparently everyone she knows has known this and not told her, she may well suspect Kat of being in on the conspiracy , even if she hasn't consciously thought of that.

(Also, why do people always hide Dark Secrets like this? They always come out, and they always do more damage that way...)
