I wonder if whatever he's holding in his hand (what is ittttt?!?!) will prompt another flashback sequence providing another piece to the Jeanne puzzle. Though I hope not! I couldn't bear additional weeks of Smitty limbo.

...am I looking too much into colors here? I mean, only other example of purple muscles (particularly grown out of sheer nothing) in the whole comic is Kat's Special Recipe (TM) synthflesh. I say this green wand of hers did more than anyone expected (including Kat).

Five bucks it's his blinker stone if it is the blinker stone, and he is now offering it to Annie (by mistake? for real?), and Jeanne understands the meaning of a blinker stone, she might go all berserker on Green-ghoul-guy and/or Annie. She stole her boyfriend! He is being unfaithful! This is far worse than some random Annan waters trespasser... |

If she touches the wand to Captian Eyebrows, will he grow a purple heart hole patch? |

It's Jeanne's heart. He has hers, but seeing what they've done, she is now willing and able to join her love in the ether, so they shove the heart in Smitty's chest, healing him to some degree or another, and everyone is saved. This is my headcannon until Tom proves otherwise. I'm betting the same thing! |

Do the Forest people possibly use engagement rings? If it's an engagement ring, then he is giving it to Annie in front of Jeanne... Five bucks it's his blinker stone More like Jeanne's blinker stone... she's the one whose etheric spirit was tied to his corpse... It makes sense: Jeanne gave him her stone so she could see him. but the Court blocked etheric communication between both shores, apparently to protect itself, but the real reason was to force Jeanne an Green Elf to meet physically. Green Elf swam across the river carrying her stone, the etherical arrow hit him, and both he and Jean got stuck as ghosts (he got stuck because the arrow hit him, she got stuck because the elf was carrying her blinker stone...). |

Hey, I've already called it 6 pages ago! You ain't called nothing yet! You ain't called nothing, Jon Snow! What I really need to ask is: WHAT was the Court's intention at TRAPPING GreenGuy at the botton of the River? (as in, J's RageGhost was only a collateral damage). I suspect The Original Plan was to trap not him, BUT What He has in HIS HAND RIGHT NOW! Somehow they lured him into stealing Some powerful Object from Coyote? His Source of Power, maybe, than even they themselves cannot fathom how to use/preferred lost than in Coyote's paws?? |

I say this green wand of hers did more than anyone expected (including Kat). Ooh gosh, and could this be how Smitty is saved, too? We have seen Kat fix Robot so many times, particularly after being attacked by a girl with a sword, that we weren't too worried about him long term. Maybe he will get a whole biological body, because this time it was nearly all destroyed. But I never thought about Kat helping an ordinary flesh person before |

I say this green wand of hers did more than anyone expected (including Kat). Seems like a legit possibility, but I kind hope not. A reality distorting device without severe limits can create all sorts of plot issues. Is Kat going to whip it out anytime she doesn't like what is happening? Are readers going to repeatedly call for Kat to whip it out when they don't like what is happening? |

Why do I get the feeling that Smitty is going to receive some major level of power up related to what's about to happen in the rest of this chapter?

It's Jeanne's heart. He has hers, but seeing what they've done, she is now willing and able to join her love in the ether, so they shove the heart in Smitty's chest, healing him to some degree or another, and everyone is saved. This is my headcannon until Tom proves otherwise. And Mr Eyebrows gets a 200 year old heart transplant (?!)... and a heart that for the last 175 years has been pumping only venom? Not sure I wanna see that in the poor Smit-ster.... Valid point that I found myself thinking about after I posted this, but I think having Smitty's heart patched over with Jeanne's would provide some very good narrative fodder going forward, and ensure that there are repercussions for the gang's half-cocked plan going awry without outright killing a beloved character. What would this do to his relationship with Parley? To his lucky powers? His job as medium? That being said, if he was holding something as powerful as a heart, I would have expected it to be glowing in his hand. |

I think that enough time has crept by now that, in the next panel that shows him, Smitty-Smitty-Smitface ought to have some blood in his hoodie. If he doesn't, I'm gonna call shenanigans.

★☆☆☆☆ Took forever to arrive!, by fencergirl274 The delivery estimate said 30-45 minutes. Tracking the order only gave standard answer "order has been shipped and is being handled by the shipping provider". I had to actually become a ghost and wait hundreds of years for it. When my purchase arrived, it had water damage and was covered in moss. Would not use this service again.I legit thought this was a spam post at first, but then I read it and laughed out loud for like 5 minutes straight. Brilliant post! Can't wait to see what happens next. |

I think that he's just offering to hold her hand. I think that he's going to talk to Jeanne but Annie's in danger if she's on her own.
{edit}
As for Smitty, I quote a line from the Firm, "He's dead, Jim."
Ps.
It was George who said that they shouldn't tell anyone.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the green person is going to ask Jeanne to stand down and needs Annie to ask George to do the same. As long as they're together, the other side is unlikely to make a move.

Corvo : You just won everything. My first thought was he's asking for something, not he's giving anything. I only considered the possibility that he was trying to give something when I read this thread. But I agree it's likely: "Miss, are these keys yours?"

With Green Guy, Jeanne, Smitty, and Robot, this is becoming quite the gathering of not-quite-dead or not-quite-living people.

Or, along these lines (he's not holding anything, but rather...): What if he senses Annie is a psychopomp, and is just asking to be released from this world and led on into the ether? Perhaps with Jeanne? So he is offering his hand as a request for Annie's services.... |

There's a gray line over Annie's neck in the last panel. It might just be the elf's fingernail, but what if he has a knife, or lockpicks, or something? Seems like it would have to be something small.
Honestly, the blinker stone is probably the best bet. Do they all look the same? I think Anja's did... would be kind of neat to see him with an emerald or something.

My opinion:
Zombie!Loverboy wants to show something to Annie. He isn't giving it to her, nor does he want her to take his hand. Why? Body language. His hand is nearly up to her face, which is how you show someone a thing, while giving someone a thing, including your hand, typically involves extending your hand at waist level.
Also, I loved "Moana" too u guise, but he isn't holding Jeanne's heart.
