Oh. Oh dear. The meaning of "ayilu" that suggests a state of frenzied bewilderment seems to be the active one at the moment.  Fairy Court names seem to impact their personality and behavior, and I'm not sure it's their actual choice. Red dresses like a Communist agitator. Bugsy is blasé to the point of low affect, like the jaded mobster. What other fairies do we know by a Court name? |

This is a page of Red saying fairly obvious, non-surprising things. I'm willing to bet money that this is set up for her to either drop a bombshell or ask a pointed question on the next page.

Fairies are so subtle sometimes. I would have never picked any of this up by myself.

What is this thing called love?
It is a beast that, once unleashed, will not stop until it scrawls its name on the very heart of the Seed Bismuth, thereby destroying everything.
Red is totally fine with this situation.
(Might point out this is a scary non-ghost lady who can make you believe anything she likes)

Well, am I the only one getting a little bit worried for Ayilu? How long is this going to continue? How far will she go to spread her new name?

Red dresses like a Communist agitator. I thought that may be the case, but I kinda think it looks more like some British military uniforms than period Soviet ones. Would have to ask Tom about where the inspiration is from, I suppose. |

Ayilu the future Psychotic Serial Killer... still more relatable than Red.

At first glance my eyes mixed up all the words in the first panel and I read it as "Well Red, you done did it."

I've spent pretty much the entire last week('s worth of strips) going "fairies, man."
Just... don't even try.

"That's all."
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

If I may... Wow, you're totally right! Apparently you can even buy your own Eighth Route Army costume for pretty cheap. For all the cosplayers out there. |

Does the Court have a janitor? they are gonna be pissed when they come to this room. I think it's basically just robots that do all the cleaning & grunt work. And honestly, they've had much worse cases than this, so I don't think they'll be too mad. A few examples of what they have had to fix: this door, this roof, this bowling alley, and - of course - this entire goddamn building. A little graffiti and a broken vase is nothing. |

Sorry for the double; I kept getting "proboards is not responding" messages while trying to submit the initial post.

Red's lips always seem to have the most detail put into them, compared to other characters' mouths. And it usually ends up looking pretty adorable, with the dismissive pout and all.

Fairy Court names seem to impact their personality and behavior, and I'm not sure it's their actual choice. Red dresses like a Communist agitator. Bugsy is blasé to the point of low affect, like the jaded mobster. What other fairies do we know by a Court name?
