I have the horrible feeling they are going to escape but parley will be horribly disfigured or something else really bad.

Wouldn't she just be disfigured in the aether? Antimony only has the cut when she's in the aether. Although I guess more extensive damage would translate over to the real.

I'm clearly overthinking it, but why would Parley need Smitty's assistance if she can already teleport with "unerring accuracy"?

Parley might have just known that Jones was at her desk, or maybe just in her office. She teleported the party hat to Jones, and Smitty made sure that she got lucky and actually hit Jones. She can teleport perfectly, but she needs to know where to, and Smitty's luck-manipulation helped her out. That's how I interpreted it, at least.

I doubt their long term relationship would be all that damaged. Reynardine still loved Surma regardless of whether or not she felt the same. He is emotionally attached to Annie because of that love, and would be more than likely to be willing to forgive Annie's outburst. Annie will be able to forgive Reynardine because it's impossible to stay mad at an adorable stuffed animal.

I don't know; Surma was definitely encouraging Reynardine's love. Finding out love is one sided is one thing, finding out that the entire relationship was a forced facade with malevolent intentions is another. I doubt that it'll cause a permanent rift, but it's going to cause temporary hard feelings at the very least. Unless he just refuses to believe it, which is what seems to be happening to begin with.

vv: General consensus is Annie's being a bluh bluh huge bitch, only real debates are whether it's justified and what the outcome will be

I get the feeling we might be seeing Jeanne again. Only this time Annie will also be at the same level of suffering as Jeanne. Betrayal by the court and all.

I hadn't considered this, but now I hope it happens. I want to learn more about Jeanne. She died, and we did nothing.

I also want to see her try out the Coyote-tooth sword.

Interesting "How do you guys pronounce Jeanne?" follow up question:
How are you guys pronouncing Ysengrin?

In my head, I pronounce it Yes-en-grin.

Not saying anyone is wrong or right, I just want to know if I'm in the majority.

I pronounce it "jean," as in the denim pants. Although like half the time I pronounce "jee-anne."

"yih-sen-grin." The yih and sen are run together quickly, with emphasis on "sen." Like if it were written Y'sengrin, because it seems like there ought to be a vowel there.

It's either EE-sen-grin or IH-sen-grin. Not really sure which. It certainly isn't a consonant y like you and Elysiume seem to think!

I will defend my pronunciation to the death :argh:

IH-sen-grin seems plausible, but EE-sen-grin seems kind of odd.

vv: I know, but I see EE and think like "I am being murdered, EEEEEEE" over "hola y buenas dias"

Annie seems a lot more expressive back then. More Surma-like. I wonder why she stopped?

I'd think her mother dying and her father abandoning her would make her a bit introverted.

Jones doesn't seem afraid. I know that her emotions are really more like on emotion, and it's boredom, but she's just like, whatever. We didn't get to see her reaction shot to Antimony breaking the news, but she seemed certain she could take Annie.

Yeah...it all really escalated out of control. Almost killed a teacher by mistake, spending the summer with god. See you next year!

Poor Renard. He was the only one who knows anything who was actually honest with her, and now he's probably stuck as a doll for the summer. The saddest doll.

I wish someone would get him. I think he'd enjoy being able to wander around a little bit.

Mahlertov Cocktail posted:

Coyote also taught her to manipulate physical things while using the blinker stone, so she could actually write something down on paper as well.

Could she give Reynardine permission to come to the forest like that?

Maybe the trick is that no harm will come to her in the forest while she's visiting Coyote...

No harm will come to her, but what if she comes to harm? Semantics, but that's something Coyote thrives on. The hand-removing bracelet, for instance, will only cause harm if she activates it.

Darn, I missed the new page. Guess I'll have to wait till Wednesday. Given Annie's time in the forest I wonder how that will effect her interactions with people of the court or maybe shed some light on the mysteries.

Like what people have said, I feel like it might strain her relationship with Kat. Not just because of the forest/court thing, but because she vanished for an entire summer. I went back to look at the treatise; I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. I wonder if Jeanne is going to become more relevant. Maybe Annie got the forest's side of the story? I wonder if the "she" in "From the Forest She Came" is Annie or a new character. Or Jeanne.

Also I read City Face again. What a great interlude.

On an unrelated note, I spent a while editing (and I mean a while, MSPaint is not the ideal editing program) a page to try to make an avatar. Is this text even readable? A bigger version is here.

_{I'll have to put my head in there to see past your ultra fine and also triple sharp teeth!}

I considered trying to get the next page in, but I didn't on account of it's difficult, that page has a ton of text, and I have an exam in thirty minutes.

I'm curious as to what'll happen when she leaves her body. Usually her hair starts grappling things, but now it's a braid! Maybe it'll revert back to unrestrained.

Also, Kat has personally met - and is on a first name basis with - a minotaur. You'd think at some point she'd go 'Hunh, another creature of legend is actually real. Go figure.' or to subvert that and have her go "Oh, well, what about Unicorns?" and everybody laughs and says there's no such thing as unicorns, get serious.

She's also met a death god who can make himself invisible and somehow visits insect deaths worldwide (also the bird one).

edit: Although in retrospect I guess this could be considered religion and therefore out of the reach of humans?

Gunnerkrigg Court is the only webcomic I check at work. The url is easy enough for me to remember and it helps brighten my mornings. I wish I got up early enough to check them all before work, but...that's not happening. And checking every webcomic would look suspicious as I tromp through like five dozen tabs.
