The moment when you realize two queens is a smaller problem than one queen. Because they will fight each other.
Also I have a prediction: Lu is gonna get destroyed or sent into a time portal, but Rat Queen will survive, and Albia will actually become BF Fs with her because she's been waiting forever to have other queen friends (and because she's clever enough to keep her potential rivals close).
Interesting to note that the first example we had of a four-armed man was a Spark-mod job from vanilla human. That kept us from wondering about Steelgarter.
I wonder if blue hair is as common as green in Skifander.
It ain't over until the glowy-eyed lady sings.
But always ?

Since their sorority days, at least.
Creed of the Happy Pessimist:Always expect the worst. Then, when it happens, it was only what you expected. All else is a happy surprise.It's interesting to realize we don't really know what Monahan wants out of life, apart from protecting her Horrible Rats. She might not be that horrible of a Queen in the end...
She keeps some rather questionable company, though.
Anyhoo, new comic

Their squabbles are, at least, giving our heroes time to escape.
If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, kick it—then eat it!They're also suggesting that Fledgling Queen Agatha is not yet ready to take on LuQueenzia.
Well yeah. She didn't get any of these Flame sources, whatever they may be, nor can she tap into queen power at will like bio-Lucrezias can.
Heck, even without Queen power Lucrezia (or at least one version of her) has already slain a bunch of Queens. There's a reason Albia is the only one left. This clank Lucrezia even pointed that out earlier.

I strongly suspect this is not the end.

"You can reply to this Message!"But our heroes did escape so now it's time for, I dunno, the fire to go out? Switch to a Gil, Tarvek and company? Some kind of change is offing, I'm sure.
If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, kick it—then eat it!I’m pretty sure they haven’t escaped. They have no way off the island.
So, I have the GURPS book now; fucking finally. I had no idea that Gil and Zeetha were twins. Thought they had different mothers and were half-siblings, figured Zeetha was a year or so older.
Want to go over the timeline and figure out how to run Sparks in the game—have some horrible ideas for a campaign already.
The game is set roughly during the current events of the comic; so Lu is out of Agatha's head, Higgs revealed himself. Not sure if maybe it's a little further ahead, need to read more.

"But don't give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you." - O'Brien, 1984Gil being a prince is implied in-comic around the Seige of Mechanicsburg arc, when the Baron is assumed dead due to the hospital being destroyed. I don't remember where I heard that twins are bad luck was a superstition of the Baron's wife. I infer that once he awoke from Lucretia's poison, he called himself a chump for being tricked.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Twins being bad luck was apparently part of a Reddit AMA, and it has not outright been stated by the Foglios that Gil and Zeetha are twins. It's a fan inferrance.
That I know, the book is canon.
Also had no idea Klaus is made out of his dead brothers.

Aaayup.
Creed of the Happy Pessimist:Always expect the worst. Then, when it happens, it was only what you expected. All else is a happy surprise.Finally!
Chalk one up for the rats!
If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, kick it—then eat it!And Zeetha is noticing that Higgs is gone.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.And now the need to find a working gate to Skifander becomes INTENSE!
If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, kick it—then eat it!
It will be interesting to see if Bang was kept offstage so that Steelgarter could get through the Mirror, or if we're given an "on screen" reason for her absence during all of this.
