fwip won't beat me this time!Also, previous conjectures were correct!!! Which is a rarity in this comic. So it seems like this is Blue using her previously-foreshadowed mental-manipulation powers. That's awesome, haha! I'm surprised they'd recruit someone else, though, especially considering the danger of this "mission". Is Blue prepared for when it, inevitably, goes sideways?

Even stranger to hear Red not being a troll.
Names have mellowed her.
(Keep your eyes glued to that costume manifesto, Blue...fairy!)

I suppose it'd make the most sense for those two to help than anyone else.
After all, they knew Jeanne existed already.

I know things haven't finalized yet (and there's still a chance for things to go awry) but I like how the plan's changed from the lot of them teleporting in and "distracting" Jeanne with swordplay has ended up changing to a literal walk in the park.
So how likely is it that Kat and Andrew are both working on disarming Diego's arrow?

That is some serious mind-bending, Zimmy Zimms style. Is Blue prepared for when it, inevitably, goes sideways? Yup. It is all going wahoonie shape in the next blink of an eye or two... |

Also, with this happening it really just puts into perspective at how powerful Blue is.
Terrifyingly so.

Sorry, I might be missing something. Did "Blue" already get her name, or is it just us calling her "Blue"?

As far as I'm aware, she's just called blue because of her origins, her blue color in the Etherium, and her unfortunate (or fortunate) proximity to Red. Perhaps her reward for helping Annie is a name of her own. |

I KNEW IT !!! AHAHAHAHAH ! And oh Red, please don't try to eat that grass just to know what dreams taste like, it's not that good. Plus, you don't really know if you'll not end eating something disgusting in the real world. Well, what they call reality. Anyway...
I saw the name of Zimmy above and just thought how horrible it would be if she took part in the plan too. Or how terribly good. I don't even know. Could she be related to some point (like, super extra empathy) with Jeanne and what happened to her, hence the akwardness with the Tic-Tocs ? And all of this, if it goes better than expected, couldn't it be the cure for Zimmy ?...
I can't help but think that Jeanne already know this isn't her memories, but is just willing to play with them, because that's just the first time someone really wants to understand and uses ruse to get to their goal. She's lenient, that's my opinion for now.
And if Kat is working, at the same time, on the green arrow with Andrew, all hopes go for a good old fashioned happy ending. But Tom is not that guy. Or is he ?

Well, that turned out to be surprisingly straightforward.

Perhaps her reward for helping Annie is a name of her own. No formal name yet, and they're being careful about her overhearing them calling her 'Blue'. This fascinating situation raises other questions, like how did they manage to get inside Jeanne's defences to this extent (in the spirit of 'Inception', how many levels down have they had to go)? |

"Historical Costume" Well, that explains the anachronistic details  They may have enlisted Blue's help to infiltrate her dreams. Cookies for gpvos and philman ! (not completely sure they were first, haven't read everything in earlier threads) |

I'm guessing that Jeanne already knows what's happening but is holding back because she misses the good times and is curious to see their approach.

As far as I'm aware, she's just called blue because of her origins, her blue color in the Etherium, and her unfortunate (or fortunate) proximity to Red. To our best knowledge she hasn't been properly named yet. Annie referred to her as "the blue one" early on in Red Returns, but if I remember correctly readers coined the terms "Red" and "Blue" even before that, all the way back when they first showed up in their original bodies. |

Even stranger to hear Red not being a troll. Names have mellowed her. (Keep your eyes glued to that costume manifesto, Blue...fairy!) Red's role in these shenanigans could be to protect Blue while Blue concentrates on maintaining the illusion, but they may have included Red just to keep her from barging in and ruining the whole thing. I think we can take Blue's "maybe" as a no. Maybe she accidentally got it right, but probably not. Everyone involved will believe this is the truth so does it really matter? Blue could make them believe anything so it is nice of her to make it something quite pleasant. |

I'm surprised they'd recruit someone else, though, especially considering the danger of this "mission". Is Blue prepared for when it, inevitably, goes sideways? The question might be, where they physically are at this point. We know that Annie, Red and Blue* can jump into the ether, but Annie seems to be really getting back together when she can take Parley with her like in her blinker stone days. As for the danger: Probably not a big thing. Beats the boring data crunching they usually do and since they play in the ether most of the time anyway, this likely is more an adventure for the two than a dangerous mission. Actually, would this be the fairy-equivalent to the randy-simulations of the court? A few questions, though: How does Kat manage to get physically close to the arrow? I would think, she still isn't allowed outside the court. No alarms, yet? What is Andrew's job? Making sure, he can pull the gang out in case something goes wrong? Or is he making sure, the court's alarm didn't go off, yet? A lovely chapter so far. *: not named yet, but pronounced correctly, I guess? |

That is some serious mind-bending, Zimmy Zimms style. Zimmy would make Jeanne herself fill the blanks. But her version would be more likely to backfire in some horrible way, and around Jeanne it's not a good idea. Besides, it would be overkill when all they want is talk. |

This is very clever. We may be given answers about the Court of the past, but can we can't trust them completely, since it's being filtered through an "unreliable narrator" device (Blue's filed in blanks).

I know things haven't finalized yet (and there's still a chance for things to go awry) but I like how the plan's changed from the lot of them teleporting in and "distracting" Jeanne with swordplay has ended up changing to a literal walk in the park. If they solve this problem without having to resort to violence, I will be thrilled. |

This feels like the sort of plan a D&D group would come up with, which means nothing could go wrong.

Confirming pretty sure Annie has called her Blue, but not to her face. Gonna go look for the page. Also, I thought your link was wrong (on purpose), laughed pretty hard, then read Tom's comment under it. Edit: Hm, misremembering. Just the comment then. |

The questions of the grey clothes are solved! Their outfits are just... actually greyish! Also, with this happening it really just puts into perspective at how powerful Blue is. Terrifyingly so. In "Red gets a Name" the only reason stopping Blue from just manipulating Red into liking her -instead of orchestrating the whole Gol-Shogeg thing- was basically proper fairy ettiquette: courtesy of chrysopax's search toolSoooo, it looks like Blue is pretty much unstoppable in the ether, unless we get to see some limitations in this chapter. Could she manipulate Kat's ether-disconnected mind? (Also: genjutsu, further evidence that GC is set in the Naruto universe!) |

I will be entertained, but there are plenty of comics where problems are solved with violence, and GK is one of the exceptions. If they try to do this without swordplay and it happens to go awry, then I'll still be pretty happy because they tried. |

There will be plenty of violence after Jeanne is gone and the more violent forest monsters start attacking/infiltrating the Court. And thus the Mecha-Angel raised an army of killer robots who answered to no one but her... |
