[261] Story Discussion - Two things happened today

This chapter is already shaping up to be epic. 2 things I noticed:

* Annie doesn't look happy.
* Holy carp the VNM's arms! !!!

Annie's wondering what she's gunner do for the summer holidays, that's all.

Geddit!? "Gunner" sounds like "gonna", and, I, uhh . . . oh, forget it. Philistines.

...I had to laugh. Just... "We'll come to the latter in a moment." Your phrasing and timing, Tom. oh god, it amazes me. Its cool that he's got wooden arms. I wonder, is all of him wooden? Did he give robot one of HIS arms?

Didn't who ever gave robot the wooden arm use a seed to do so ? So he wouldn't have given him one of his own arms.

I'm also wondering why the lantarn in the last panel isn't burning.

I'm not surprised that Annie is the one kid in the group who's not taking a "School's out! Yay!" attitude. Aside from that very serious disposition of hers, the summer holidays raise one interesting problem for her: where does she go now? Her mother's dead, and Anthony's presumably still missing. So far as we know, she has no family to go home to. (Maybe the Donlans will let her stay with them. Or maybe she'll roam the deserted hallways of the school by herself. Well, we'll probably learn more in the next few instalments.)

I wonder which one of those two figures creeping out of the forest is the god that Annie's talking about: the Very Nice Man, or the dog-like creature accompanying him. (We'll probably find out the answer to that one eventually as well.)

By the way, does the forum agree that the wolf-like creature is Reynardine's cousin? It looks a lot like the shape Reynardine took when he attackes Annie.

I also like Margo's cameo, and the fact that Janet's checkin' out Winsbury. (If I recall correctly, every time that Winsbury and Janet have shared a panel since "Cupid Undone", one or both of them is stealing a glance at the other.)

It's nice to see that the sky over the Court isn't always cloudy and gray.

EDIT: typos.

At first, when I saw the God's arm, I thought they were pure flesh with veins sticking out, which kinda made me a little unconfortable...good thing I came to the forums to read that they are actually wooden arms, not flesh.

Something tells me that this God is looking for something that belongs to him, and he wants to get it back. By that I mean the wooden arm that he planted on robot (if he planted, that is) a few chapters back, which now lies in that beautiful room/meadow in the Court...I just hope that if that's the case that nothing bad will happen to that room. That was one of my favorite chapters.

I was going to ask the very same thing.

I really think that the fox-like creature behind the "god" guy isn't the same one on the first page. That one looked far more wolf-like. And I think that it is, indeed, Reynardine's cousin. No one ever said that the energy/light form is his natural/original one. He may have just learned how to "jump" from his body at some point.

jfkgsk? ufhste diefhrigb.

asdgjsgubm Tom. lkgbfb!

No, I think that the VNM is Reynardine's cousin. x.x

I think he wolf is just a wolf- Remember that Reynardine wasnt ALWAYS a wolf, he's a creature that can take many forms.

Maybe she'll focus on dealing with the mysterious forces emerging from Gillitie Wood as a way of handling her grief, with no homework around to throw herself into.

... ...

TOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
