I'm always reluctant about hoping for quick resolution to "People In Photos" questions. Over at Platinum Grit (where we teach the rest of the internet lessons about waiting in patience for new updates) we're still partways stumped on a family photo that we saw back in 2000.

Platinum Grit? Oh, I know that one. It's the protagonist's long-lost brother's pet monkey who got plastic surgery. 'His' name is Henry.

And we'll see about this Gk C thing. We'll see.

Beginning to agree. I still think she could be a robot or the ghost with the sword, though.

How about this: the ghost with the sword is the ghost of the original S1 AI!?

If you guys are interested in fanart, I made something.

Death of a thousand pokes.

EDIT: I think Kat may be in love. He's a robot, he's got wings, he's a dashing swordsman... all Robot needs is massive biceps like Eglamore's and he'd be perfect for Kat.

[429] Now that's just weird.

Raises the question: How much of this was S1, and how much was S13?

I don't think ANY of it was our robot. It certainly did not act like him at any point. I think the entire thing was just a playback of the scene scripted into the body, and putting in that chip was the equivalent of pressing "play".

If anybody here has Opera 9.5, I built a Gunnerkrigg Court Widget.

Reynardine: always assuming the best about people. Diego reminds me of The Penguin.

Too bad he's seemingly given up on tormenting them, because he's doing a way better job of pushing Kat's buttons than he ever did before. Also, he's now officially entered the "really creepy" zone for us readers too (or at least me), especially assuming he's never met these people.

Ha!

But if Rey's somewhere close to the mark on this one, then this would be the second time that the romantic lives of previous generations have affected our protagonists (the first, of course, being the James-Surma-Anthony love triangle).

And Rey is old enough that he may have seen Jeanne and Diego firsthand.

Ah. So Rey's conclusions are based on reasonable assumptions, not on firsthand experience.

Agreed about Robot. So it seems like he was at least partly aware of what was happening.

Frankly, these last few pages are so weird I can't think of any theories about them.

EDIT: In fact, upon further thought, I've decided that this whole basement is a giant Rorschach test. The evidence we have is so inconclusive that any theory to explain it will tell us more about the theorist than about what actually happened.

Note also that Kat, Reynardine, and Shadow2 are all theorizing. But Annie is just observing and asking questions.

Wait, so is Tom implying that the Etheric is not magic?

Looks like the chapter is winding down. EDIT: Here's hoping that we'll get one more flashback before the end.

No, he's pointing out that despite the setting, he's managed to get over 400 pages in without using the word "magic" once.

Indeed, Annie's head is much less. . . blocky than it was at the beginning.
