Ysergin: "Dis Bitch Empty! YEET!"

Ok, bye Jones!

Insert End Of Evangelion joke here.

I'm sad I didn't put my guess about her being launched into orbit but her still being fine aloud I did actually guess it

Now if she suddenly ascends into god hood then the joke part of my guess I didn't say aloud would come to true

Jones: "Well that's going to be something new"

Fairly reasonable method of dealing with her, really.

If she's actually in orbit and not gonna starting falling back toward the planet anytime soon, she could always just remove a piece of her clothing and throw it in the opposite direction. But then there's the question of where she'd end up landing.

Honestly she isn't landing right back down where she started no matter what. The throw wasn't wholly vertical in the first place, and high altitude winds are crazy, so she's getting thrown around a whole damn lot.

Naked meteor Jones for the finishing blow.

If she throws something, she'll have to throw it really hard to get enough delta-V to deorbit. Good news is she's extremely strong, bad news is it doesn't make her fast (she says "my movement and senses fall well within human boundaries").

Whenever Jones shows up in the comic and something weird happens, I secretly hope that we are going to witness some sort of Stable Time Loop that sends her back in time to the creation of the Earth.

it looks like she's still in low earth orbit. there are still occasional air molecules to bump into so she'll slow down enough to re-enter the atmosphere after like a couple months

She could take off a piece of clothing and use it as a parachute/air brake to speed up the process, maybe.

Also, if there are any satellites up around where she's ended up, she could just boost off one of them if they can come together somehow.

Her mass is very high. Inertia is working against her here.

Little Fire Head Girl

oh no

I hope Jones isn't stuck there forever. I know she says she doesn't have emotions, but I think she would be desperately lonely.

Loneliness is an emotion and she feels no emotions, that is why she goes out of her way to stay with people for their entire lives.

Wait, what are you trying to say? That she doesn't have them or she does? I'm a bit confused. Because the first half of that sentence implies the former, and the second the latter. I personally think it's been hinted she has some, however muted.

Yes, that's sarcasm. Though how much she actually feels is debatable. She is clearly inhuman in that, given that some stuff we saw her go through already would have definitely broken a human mind, so she could mentally survive a long orbit. But yeah I doubt she is as unfeeling as she says she is.

We've definitely seen emotions like "disappointment that humans aren't the same thing as her despite looking very similar".

So long as Ysengrin didn't punt her up at escape velocity, she'll come back down eventually. Also, the court seems to have some sort of space program (or, at least, donny has one), so maybe they can mount a rescue.
