I don't think she's out for blood. I think she's found a purpose.

30 chapters worth, eh? Quite a coincidence!

I think she's out for the Court's blood, not Jeanne's. She wants to see Jeanne again. I hope to help her.

It'd be interesting to have someone map out the series of events that happened to bring Annie to where she is today as far as her investigation of the mystery of Jeanne.
It all started by innocently wanting to help a lost shadow get home.

30 chapters worth, eh? Quite a coincidence! They skipped the Cursed Teapot saga and ignored Boxbot's contributions entirely, of course. Parley has her game face on, and she's never been hotter. |

 Andrew's left hanging in panel 8. I'm not sure Jeanie needs 30 chapters of exposition. They didn't know of her until chapter 8. I suppose this means that parley and Andrew now know that Annie can see guides. Given how Jones described Annie's talents before they would not necessarily have known.

Andrew is...a lot more sensible than Kat and Annie,in that he actually wants to tell someone(most likely one of the teachers/staff),whereas Annie and Kat tend not to like involving the adults.

"The Court" killed her? It's not a sentient creat...
Then again, Jones did once say that "the court has a way of making decisions" in a way that suggests it is its own entity. Still, no one who was in any way involved in that decision is still alive today. And why would you honor Young's decision to keep their actions hidden?

I can't help noticing in Panel 1 how much bigger Parley and Smitty are than Annie and Kat.
The latter are what, 13? and the former 16/15?

Presumably because they have no way of knowing whether the person to whom they tell their tale is likely to make them vanish in the same way Jeanne did  |

I keep remembering Parley saying "What're you doing hanging out with these kids, Smitty?"

Could it be that the Guides made a mistake and that Parley, rather than Annie, was the person who was supposed to solve Jeanne's problem all along? (Or did they know it was Parley's job, but gave the Blinker Stone to Annie, foreseeing that Parley would get involved that way?)
I would hope that the present-day administration would be less corrupt than the Founders were; they certainly don't seem as corrupt. But I suspect that Annie's usual "distrust grown-ups" mentality is at work again.

Two things. First, in panel one, George and Andrew holding hands at the beginning, through to the end of, the exposition!
Second, George knew about Jeanne before all this! How did she know? And what? Are there stories about the great swordswoman Jeanne, passed down through the years to the Court's fencing students? Sir Young may have been able to hide what he did to Jeanne, but she wasn't entirely forgotten, it seems.

The guides asked for help, but didn't say how it was to be done. By bringing Parley into the situation, Annie has helped. The guides got what they needed and Annie is still responsible for helping, it's just in a different way than we might have expected.

"30 chapters worth of exposition later" - they all touched shoulders and it happened in seconds, just like with Jeanne, only much gentler...

And at the end, Smitty is thinking, "she let go..." 2) I was thinking that on the previous comic, but what Parley says in panel 1, and in the last panel of the previous, is just vague enough to be interpreted either way. I'm now leaning toward she hadn't heard about Jeanne. |

Yeah...Parley is mad!! And it seems, death threats aside, Jeanne has a sister warrior on her side. Its about time Jeanne had someone on her side! |

How are they going to set up a meeting with Jeanne? Drop a note tied to a rock: "Hi, we'd like to talk...don't kill us"
Maybe throw the blinker stone down and use it to make words? As long as Annie doesn't project herself, it doesn't matter if Jeanne takes control of the stone again. How does one safely talk to hate personified?

More like "what do you know about her and how did you find out" She's not saying "I know about her, how do YOU know about her?" I'm going to respectfully disagree. It's a matter of interpretation, but I think Parley knew something about Jeanne, but didn't know the Ghost of the Annan Waters was Jeanne until Kat said so. |

1) Yeah! And at the end, Smitty is thinking, "she let go..." I saw that, but I didn't want to dwell on the negative.  It's a nice little detail that Tom put in there. |

I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with me. (whispering: just between you and me.. I'm not always right! ) |

Parley: quest accepted! ;D Smitty: achievement unlocked! ;D It's nice to see him coming to terms with his love for Parley and hers for him. Obviously Parley knows the score, though seeing her own heart shining like a lamp was probably an eye-opener. And on a different note, I laughed at the second panel. I was hoping that would be the title of this discussion thread, but what we have works too. |
