Are they writing the story of Allison?

White Chain and Cio posted:

"What strange tongue is that? Is it the tongue of Los Angeles?"
"Ugh. Tis' called In-ge-lish. A horrible mess of a language for gape-a-gap idiots."
"Can you speak it?"
"Nay. Twas too odious a task."

In Cio's defense, coming from someone who taught it as a second language for years, English is in fact a horrible bastard language.

PMush Perfect posted:

A reminder: Cio is a master of the Red Art. Saying things in precise, specific ways is her whole deal.

And she still doesn't want to deal with learning English.

A teacher back in high school asked me to help out the kids struggling with English. I had no idea how to help, I got good grades because I was a nerd reading D&D sourcebooks all the time. I couldn't clarify a single grammar rule because I didn't actually understand any English grammar.

I now write and teach writing for a living. Things haven't changed much. What a terrible language.

English is an incredibly imprecise language that has some great opportunities for stuff like poetry and comically bad for science and trade, despite it being the lingua franca of both of those.

Lord Intra gathered his retainers, who were hungry for tutelage. “Lord Intra!” said the bearer of his kicks, “What is the first step on the path to Royalty?”

“There are no steps,” replied Intra, “It is zero-sum with your reality. It is not measured in court-lengths.”

“Lord Intra,” said his point guard, “Is the path to Royalty the path of struggle, then?”

“No,” said Intra, “One may attain it without any effort at all. It is, in fact, the antithesis of struggle.”

Intra’s shooting guard was very discontent with his master’s evasiveness. “Lord,” he said, “Allow us lowly men some small measure of understanding. For sympathy’s sake, and the sake of we good and loyal teammates, please tell us in plain language the nature of Royalty.”

“I will tell you precisely what Royalty is,” said Intra, “It is a continuous dunking motion.”

BALLER once played a pickup game with his disciple Hansa in BALLER's second clockwise glass court. Hansa was one of his most ardent students and a grand questioner of BALLER. Unlike BALLER's other disciple, Pree Ashma, he had no hunger in his heart for dominion of the universe, but a miserly scrutiny and a tight forward game. He was not an aspirant for royalty, and thereby attained it through little effort.

Hansa’s questions were thus:

‘Lord, how must I question space?’

‘With an age, a jammer may encircle a slammer five million times,’ spoke BALLER.

‘Lord, how then may I question time?’

‘A slammer's stride of a moment takes a jammer a week to surpass.’ BALLER spoke while dunking in the 4th way.

Hansa was discontent with this answer and bent to retie the laces of his sweet, catalogue only, kicks which he always kept with him and would eventually lead to his annihilation. Since he was royalty, he knew this, and wore them as a reminder of his circular death.

‘Lord, then which should I be, the slammer or the jammer?’

‘Both,’ spoke BALLER,’ or either, when it suits you. Destroy the grand enemy called ‘I’.’

Hansa contemplated this in silence. Later he would recount this proverb to his daughter.

"Look yonder, at your butcher gods. Ten thousand men and women lie dead at their feet. Bask in their efficacy! Are they not spectacular at turning men into ghosts?

Behold! The awesome fires of God. The limitless power of pure creation itself. Look carefully! Observe how it is used for the same purpose a man might use an especially sharp rock."

Are we still supposed to be rooting for Jagganoth? I'm starting to doubt that he's the good guy.

It's sort of like Angel Densetsu, a comedy manga about a normal highschool kid who has a terrifying face so everyone assumes he's a gang leader constantly high on drugs. As the story goes on, more people learn he's actually a sweet boy who just gets dragged into shenanigans, and as it goes on, the artstyle changes and he starts looking more and more normal, until at the end he's barely differently drawn from the other characters.

The keys unlock power. They aren't power unto themselves. Zoss cast down the entire host of mega-Angels by himself before he crafted the first key. Solomon David slew his first Demi-urge solely with the power of Ki-Rata, and his magical kungfu bullshit has nothing to do with the key in his forehead.

Allison had the key of keys and was essentially useless for a sizeable chunk of this story. If you're royal enough, you don't need a key of kings to reshape the universe to your will.

Schwarzwald posted:

okay but Jags being the blade as in "cutting the gordian knot" makes a whole lot of sense with the recent page

edit: and speaking of which:

Ive always interpreted the last 3 panels as Zoss wondering who the hell these people are and realizing what the gently caress what he did and what just happened
and how "gently caress, i guess this is what were doing now then" his face looks.
