Gunnerkrigg Court

She went from one to the other at record speed.

On the plus side, she's stopped bottling up her feelings!

Oh, Annie's about to learn what the rest of us picked up in hints that she hasn't necessarily seen or heard about. Neat.

Also, Andrew, regarding your abilities? Boy, wouldn't it sure be coincidentally convenient if Parley figured out how to properly control her newfound strength around you?

You know, right now Parley and Smitty are probably the most powerful students in the court.

Smitty is a Reality Warper who (almost literally) holds the threads of fate in his hands.

Parley is now a super-powered Magic Knight.

Hmm, I was under the impression that Annie was aware of this. I'm going to go try to find the chapter in question.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, you are right. I can't seem to find any instance where Eglamore was openly critical of Tony within earshot of Annie.

Annie skipped the dash to split the concepts.

I think Eleanore's Surma issues tended to take the fore when Annie and he were together.

EDIT: Should be Elgamore there, darn auto correct.

Eleanore?

...

Posted from your phone, did ye?

Eleanore is James' middle name. It's a family name, don't judge.

Eee-yup (damn auto correct)

I think Annie might be slightly more hax than either, though. Fire's hard to beat.

And, as Tony proved, trying to smother it doesn't work either.

If only there were some means to take Annie's fire and transfer it to a younger more impressionable host that could be properly trained? Or has that been tried and failed before?

The Court would probably love that.

Also, I did not understand that last sentence until I read the comments.

But a paper talisman will work.

That's kinda what happens when a babby is formed.

to be fair, that paper talisman's the equivalent of shoving a USB full of cryptolockers into a laptop :P

That chapter has one of my favourite pages in the comic.

That's the joke.

1688

Now that's pretty [silly]

In tents.

Censored censuring.

I can't wait to see Annie's reaction. Part of me wants her to storm into Eglamore's office and get in his face about it so he can tell her exactly what he thinks without a filter.

Given what's happened and what she's seen, how much of it will Annie agree with, now? She's not blindly obedient anymore, but is she still making excuses for him?

I mean, regardless of how Annie feels about her dad, I can't imagine her being happy with Eglamore talking shit behind his back.

She is probably thinking that it's none of his business and that he should butt out. It's not uncommon to find children of abusive parents who fly off the handle when they hear someone else criticizing their parents.

"Hey! Only I get to call him an asshole! "

Also, quick question : was it ever established what the nature of Jones' and Eglamore's relationship is? At first it seemed that it was a mother/son relationship but at times they seem to be too... " touchy" for that, if you know what I mean.
