No no, Lu-Agatha's just losing the fight. Like she always does.

Someone who never wins vs. someone who always loses?

It's an Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object situation — who will win this race to the bottom?

Keep in mind Lugatha also got some poison slipped to her by Violetta just now.

I thought Violetta was talking about some kind of healing drug or something she was using on herself. She is recovering rather quickly from having her hand impaled like that.

Oh hm, maybe, maybe she is hopping up on some stimulants. But given how sweating and blueing in the forehead Lugatha is getting, I suspect she got her somehow still.

Another possibility- she's about to suffer from a bout of Tweedle-poisoning. It would give him a plot-based reason to even be here right now.

And nice round of Flynning, Foglios. Of course, pretty much unavoidable, since again the plot dictates that neither of them die.

Not just the plot - *Zeetha* doesn't want to harm Agatha.

Knocking her over the head a couple of times is still within the realm of acceptable losses, though.

I'd expect her to try a flynning disarm first, rather than reaching with a fist through the swords' range. Or keeping her occupied for the rest to sneak in a a head-bonk.

Or, she's just keeping Lu distracted long enough for (fill in the blank here) to smack her over the head.

Let's not forget the goal here is for Tarvek and Gil to finish so they can remove Lucrezia from Agatha's head finally! Delaying until they are ready to sneak attack her with the new machine is another valid tactic.

The other option make the body tired so she just falls to the floor.

Completely unrelated to the ongoing happenings - remember how Violetta talked about how she really wished she could put on a nice dress and go to a party someday instead of this smoke night business ? I suspect playing the scantily-clad sacrificial virgin got rid of *that* specific wish ...

Don't think so?

Why would it? That was nothing like a pretty dress, a party, or dancing.

Yeah, she still wants that. And she'll probably get it at the end of the story, when she dances with Moloch.

Comic for Friday.

Oh no! Lu-Agatha knows that Agatha learned how to do the Kamehameha!

Oh, goodie, we're getting a self-hostage situation.

I'm like, way beyond done here.

Who forgot to tell Zeetha that good guys aren't supposed to do the gloating? Saying Too Much, amirite?

Well, it works the other way around, too... Lu doesn't know all of Agatha's habits and trained reactions, either, having never coordinated them before.

Most options won't help... self hostage or going for a suicidal call won't be too easy to pull because 3 mad doctors around and Gil and Tarvek already have experience on the rolling death one and Tweedle is a biological mad boy.

I mean, I like how the comic usually goes, but this is getting way too dragged out. Also, I'm really disappointed that a protagonist just fell for Just Between You and Me.

This conversation is nonsensical. By the time the second sentence was uttered, any reasonable Smoke Knight would have already smacked Lu over the head, tied her up and turned the transfer over to Gil and Tarvek.

So just when did Lu or Lu's component personality spend a lifetime training in the Skifandrian style? Did The Other manage to assimilate one of the missing Skifandrian queens? Or a black sheep of the court?
