Oh My Feudal Goats that's an awesome image. Reynardine facing off against Eglamore, armed with his strusty lockpicks! Now if only I could draw.... I might try anyway. Just wear anti-ugliness lenses when you visit the Fanart thread next and you'll be fine. Yes! Draw it! Draw it! *claps wildly* "Oh My Feudal Goats"? That is hilariously funny! Did you do that, or did the filter do that from "OMFG"? |

No, that was actually me. I noticed it did it earlier on "gosh golly" so I decided to do it myself this time.

You draw it. we will observe it and keep our comments to ourself unless they are compliments.
Maybe Reynardine uses the lockpicks to arm the action figures and stage mock wars when nobody is around.

That just gave me a picture in my head of Reynardine acting out a battle with Eglamore using Kat's action figures. Armed with lockpicks, of course.
Suppose Batman would be Eglamore?

The crazy "Romeo and Juliet" twist reminds me of my own oddball vision (well, maybe not so oddball) of Annie and Kat playing Rosalind and Celia respectively in a Gunnerkrigg Court production of "As You Like It".
Or, while we're on the "Shakespeare Gunnerkrigg Court style", in a spirit closer to the "Romeo and Juliet" take, how about "Hamlet"?
Annie would obviously parallel Hamlet - keenly intelligent, mourning the death of a parent (the old King for Hamlet, Surma for Annie), and even meeting ghosts (though I doubt that Ghost Girl is really Surma - and I definitely don't think that Mort is really Surma). Anthony would parallel Gertrude, with his mysterious disappearance from Good Hope serving as a counterpart to Gertrude getting married to Claudius - in both cases, an abandonment by the surviving parent. Kat would obviously have the part of Horatio.
That leaves the question open of who'd be the equivalents to Claudius, Polonius, Laertes, Ophelia, etc. (And who'd make the better Rosencrantz and Guildenstern - Janet and Willie or Zimmy and Gamma?)

Sorry, don't know Hamlet well enough to help out there, todd. But I like the paralells that I do see.

With this talk about Annie playing Romeo or Hamlet (the latter being my idea, admittedly), I've suddenly got this image of her in Shakespearean doublet, hose, plumed bonnet, etc.
Followed by Reynardine letting out a wolf-whistle (sorry about that, I couldn't resist that particular term) at her in tights, which, unfortunately for him, Annie overhears, resulting in Reynardine receiving fresh disciplinary measures all over again!

Oh no! She couldn't play Romeo, he's a wimp! She'd more likely to be Mercutio, or even better Viola in Twelfth Night.

Romeo = wimp; Mercutio = pimp. I think it's obvious which one Annie would be. I don't see why she couldn't be Juliet, she has a much stronger personality than wimpy little loverboy Romeo. Romeo is like the worst sides of Mort and Winsbury rolled into one.
Never read/seen Twelfth Night, though.

While their pasts share a certain simularity, I don't really think that Annie is much like Hamlet at all. If I had to draw a parallel based on character, I think Zimmy would be far better suited. Annie, I think, is more antique Roman than a Dane.
(Though if Zimmy were Hamlet, Annie would probably have to forfeit the role of Horatio to Gamma. It wouldn't be right, otherwise.)
And for the record, just writing this makes me feel silly. Good, fun, self-depricating silly, but silly nonetheless. No wonder this thread is ten pages long.

Ah, I don't know. There are definately similarities between Annie and Hamlet, plot wise. Of course, we cannot tell who would be the Claudius of this play, since there is no obvious bad guy as of yet. I'd think Winsbury and Janet would make a much better Rosencrantz and Guildenstern than Gamma and Zimmy. Somehow, I can't see Gamma and Zimmy betraying Annie so badly. Eglamore could be Polonius, with his well intentioned ramblings that Annie views with scorn. Of course, the parallels don't all work, and it is ridiculous to try and stretch and fold the two to overlap nicely. However, Shakespeare nerd that I am, it delights me to see connections to his work in my favorite comic!

I think the sword-girl-in-white is a former lover of Anthony's, maybe the girl in the picture, who is jealous of Annie because she is Anthony's daughter with another women.

Swordgirl is Surma's evil twin. Swordgirl is SURMA. *looks askance at 'em all* |

There's actually ANOTHER Robot S13 that causes all the trouble, and our Robot was the spare for that one.

Robot has an evil twin who always does evil stuff and then Robot gets blamed for it.
Maybe robot has multiple personalities.

Robot IS SURMA'S EVIL TWIN! Also, Surma didn't actually die, she went into a coma and Robottwin faked her dying in order to get Annie to Gunnerkrigg Court!

Robot and Swordlady are Surma's evil triplets! Umm... that didn't make a lot of sense...

It could be done. Replicate Surma's identity in code, but remove any morals that she had and then put the identity into Robot.

Actually, the swordgirl is the unnamed last-generation girl from the picture. This fits into my earlier theory a couple pages back; Surma freed Reynardine from her, swordgirl was his first victim, and now swordgirl tries to kill her daughter in retribution.
Or maybe swordgirl is mrs Donlan's secret identity. She doesn't want her darling daughter hanging around someone who talks to monsters and shelters Reynardine, so when she saw Annie fall on the TicToc monitoring system, she quickly changed into her old costume from the reynardine-fighting days and tried to finish Annie off before Kat arrived.

Back to speculation mode: I am starting to suspect that the school part of GC is actually very marginal, judging by the poor state of the buildings. One important question that needs answering: who controls the robots?

The robots control themselves. They have developed into a Borg-like enitity with only the occasional oddball like Robot13 breaking free of the group. |

Ah, but who decides when a "career change" is necessary? A group decision? A sort of Coulcil of Robots? That would be really cool. Especially if they had a Robot Chancellor!
