Hey, at least she restricted the mischief to giving Red a green butterfly-tie.  |

Hey, at least she restricted the mischief to giving Red a green butterfly-tie. Which looks great on Red, though .
I wonder whether Jeanne will reveal that she knew all along but played along since it was so nicely constructed.
Edit: Oh, another question: Since we know from Coyote himself, that fairies like Red and Blue are destined to end up in the Court, did they especially order these two with their abilities? And to what extend then. To alter reality in the court? Is this where we realize, everything is implanted in the character's mind then?

I really like how Blue seems to be taking this all in stride. And Red is just as mischievous as ever.
Yay character development and personality spotlighting!

I think Tom's just projecting and *he* thinks it's perfectly normal for people not to have faces.

I wonder who we are going to meet through Jeanne?

I wonder if that is really Red, though, since the hair color is quite different.

I'm really interested in getting Kat's view of things. I want to see what they're all *actually* doing, and in particular what Kat's doing with the arrow.
I hope Kat's learned enough about Diego's work to really do something about the arrow.
Also, while I may have figured the fairy identities wrong at first (shoulda trusted y'all's guesses), I'm more than a little satisfied with myself for having back-interpreted the pages in a fashion similar to how it is looking they've actually played out.

I get the distinct feeling that Tom is going to have no comments at all for this chapter. And for some reason, that's more ominous than any other opening to a chapter we've yet seen. |

They should follow them: leaving Jeanne on auto-pilot isn't going to end well.
...come to think of it, Jeanne's expression when she first sighted Parley was more than a bit calculating. Like she was going to announce her presence with a tickle.
...or (if we're thinking 'ominous') preparing for a switcheroo, as in Jeanne and Green trading places with Smith and Parley?

I was just struck by a thought:
What if this is in fact not an attempt to free Jeanne from the arrow? It could be that they are trying to extract information from Jeanne, by conversing with her in an environment she should feel at ease in. Information that will help in removing the arrow.

It could be that they are trying to extract information from Jeanne, by conversing with her in an environment she should feel at ease in. Information that will help in removing the arrow. I wondered the same, but I don't think Jeanne knew anything about the green arrow before it was used. The only information she might have is whatever she learned after she was trapped. From what we've seen Jeanne is a fighter, not a techno-etheric expert. All she may have gleaned is that there is a green etheric arrow that killed her boyfriend and trapped both of them. And asking Jeanne about such traumatic thing may break Blue's current deception and make it harder to deceive Jeanne a second time. This could still be trail run to make sure Blue can pull off the deception before they take greater risks trying for the green arrow. Or they could be doing this so Kat can get a closer look at the arrow. Kat is certain she can do something about the arrow, but that seems like a huge leap of faith for her to say that when she has never examined it. It seems much more reasonable for Kat to make sure she can dive down to the arrow and stay at the bottom of the river for as long as she needs while getting a close up inspection of the arrow so she can do more research on how to deactivate it. EDIT (as an after thought): Maybe they could trick Jeanne into giving Parley sword fighting lessons. Reveal her favorite moves and secret tricks. Not during this run, but at various times in the future. |

I was thinking more along the lines of "Finding out the identity of the guy in this page, information which could lead to finding old documents about him, which might provide clues in how to deactivate the arrow." Or really, any information about the court in the old days; any identification could be enough to search the archives. That, or finding out more information about Jeanne, information which can be used to assure her that they come there as friends. I don't know if it could work but using deception they have managed to keep her calm so far. |

There is something poignant about the scene Jeanne is playing out. I hope that she remembers it fondly, despite the deception. How pleasant it must be to walk and talk in peace and beauty after all the decades of bitter anger and hatred.

Besides Annie and Parley seeing him in this flashback, Annie and Kat saw him in the robots recordings and know that he fired the green arrow. Annie and Kat also saw his final record in the ROTD, but all they learned there is that he tripped over a dog. Did you mean this mysterious man in red? We know he is the ellusive Artilleryman because Tom confirmed it in the chapter retrospective, but Annie and Kat don't know anything about him. I don't know that the Artilleryman knew much about the green arrow because Diego made the arrow. |

I'm just sitting over here dying laughing that Red and Blue are just sticking costumes in anywhere from basically any period of history so long as they're fancy.

Why "something"? Obviously, she have to construct a robotic walking device which will provide a better view of the river's bottom.

He's clearly going to be important, since they've been blocked from seeing his record at the RotD, and the whole comic is (indirectly) named after him. But we know nothing about his role or abilities. |

As everyone knows, I think that they're actually spies for the Machine Goddess sent back from the future. The idea of them being created by the Artilleryman is interesting. I would say that we've never seen any indications that he's robotically inclined, but...we've never seen anything about him at all, really, so it's possible! Haha. |
