I didn't think this one was appropriate for the Cool things [...] thread. But I have no explanation either, so I thought, whatever, I'll just make a new one. Maybe we can collect other strange unexplained details here.

copied and enhanced from [2401]: Jenny's shirt changes too, from the same maroon (though without the white dot!): www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1413 ...to Zimmy-gray (looks more gray then blue to me)... apparently to trick the seraphs into thinking she is Zimms: www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1429Maybe this is some minor Jenny-magic? Swapping shirt color? And in the page you link, I might be imagining it, but maybe the spell is starting to wear off? www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1446Panel two seems to show Jenny's Zimm-gray shirt slowly turning brown from the bottom, which you would sorta get adding some maroon to gray. By panel 5 its all brown .. further on the way to maroon? (panel 6 might be inconsistent, tho... and Zimm's shirt isn't changing yet). Zimmy's shirts often "have/grow a dot" and it even seems to change size (with exertion? emotion - stress/fear?)... compare panels 1 and 4. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2400still a mystery what it is all about tho! |

Good idea for a thread, though it may be tough to determine which of the two threads to use for a given "thing [you] noticed on reread". After all, weird things are often cool, and vice versa.

It's somewhat muddled by the fact that in the last few panels of 1445, everyone changes colours: Zimmy's and Gamma's pants change momentarily from brownish to green and blue; Jenny's shirt is mauve then blue while the sweater tied around her waist (or whatever it is) is brown then dark grey; and Jack's shirt which started out clearly green and then became tan on this page has different shades in each of the bottom panels, being greenish in the last (and then goes back to being clearly tan for the next page). Clearly there's some changing colour filtering throughout the scene (e.g. Annie's hair becoming carrot-coloured), but I don't think that explains ZG's pants. And in the page you link, I might be imagining it, but maybe the spell is starting to wear off? www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1446Panel two seems to show Jenny's Zimm-gray shirt slowly turning brown from the bottom, which you would sorta get adding some maroon to gray. That specific effect is seen on several other characters though, e.g. Paz and Annie in 1444, although that does seem to be the panel where the shirt is changing colour in any case. |

Many odd color changes. Maybe, since this was supposed to be a dance, there are some overhead lights with variable cycling colored filters? I dunno.... Still, I like the idea that Jenny magic swapped her and Zimm's shirt colors to confuse the seraphs.... |

To be clear, I'm not saying Jenny's shirt didn't change from maroon to blue to brownish-grey-which-may-be-maroon-with-a-cast due to the impersonation act, just that it got a bit obscured by Tom playing around with colour filters in the scene where it changes back (and I still suspect something went wrong in the last panel on page 1445). The colour casts on these pages may be due to smoke haze, lamps on the fritz or etheric echoes, but there was nothing similar in the previous ballroom scene so I don't think it would be just disco lights.

But no color weirdness on that page. I suppose the lights may have started fritzing later, but ... maybe ... Tom was just less precise with his colors than usual on 1445-6. |

Ah, I forgot that Zimmy is still wearing Jenny's maroon shirt at the end, so it's a completely mundane swap and Jenny is still wearing the blue shirt, made to look brown by the same lighting phenomenon that turns Jack's shirt tan (and which somewhat desaturates the clothes of Annie and Kat although the hues aren't significantly changed).

I don't think it could have been a mundane physical swap though. Jenny's shirt is still red here www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1420and here www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1424when Zimms had already been captured by the seraphs (and was thus unavailable for clothes swapping). She was definitely captured in a blue/gray shirt www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1400That's why I was thinking it was maybe a bit of minor Jenny magicking of colors to confuse the saraphs. |

As soon as we see the main group again in 1430, the newly rescued Zimmy has the maroon shirt. For whichever reason, in pages like 1437 and 1439 everyone's clothes have the normal, saturated colours from the pre-Zimmification scenes, even though there are filtered, muted colours in the preceding Zimmingham scenes and then later on after Zimmification is ended. |

Simple swap it is. I hadn't realized Jenny and the gang could have rescued Zimmy already by 1428. Thanks for correcting my understanding.... |

Two things about Spring Heeled Part Two:
2) As cool and interesting the whole sequence in Birminghell in this chapter is, I do not understand what the whole point of it was in helping Jack. All they did was run after the " memory of someone" Jack, but the only thing that seemed to actually help was when it rained. Yes, Zimmy killed the Whiteleg possessing Jack soon after, but it does not seem the trip to Birminghell was necessary for that. Even if they somehow managed to delay the last memory of the old Jack being absorbed, I must again ask myself - why did Jones not simply release the collected Ether? What was she waiting for? Mere curiosity to see what Annie would do next? Something does not add up there for me. |

As I recall the thing with Zimmyhell was an incidental thing with the Whitelegs/Jack liking Zimmy and Jack being unstable because Whitelegs. Jack went looking for Zimmy. Him looking for Zimmy meant him trying to be near Zimmy which comes with a risk of reality turning up side down. Zimmy being in one of her states was mostly coincidence and partially Jack turning on the Ether Station in an attempt to draw her out as I recall. I kinda suspect that the reason we weren't following Annie was due to her plan whatever it was, wouldn't actually work. Rereading the chapter I get the feeling she didn't know what was up with Jack. And that Zimmy who did and could help being around at a time she would was very much luck, and Jones calling in an ether shower at the right time. Annie mistook a memory for the actually Whitelegged Jack given how she tells Zimmy and Gamma to stay back. Annie didn't even know what the Whitelegs were called after all. She didn't know how to help Jack. And Springheeled was when Annie was told by Jones she didn't have to do everything by herself as I recall. |

Jones probably had the Power Station release its energy after she decided that she had to do it now or it would be too late. But it seems she did not even know Zimmy was on that roof as well. So... Did anybody besides Zimmy actually know what they were doing?

Gamma knew what she was doing I think. She just didn't know what was going on. Annie and Jack just utterly slammed into her and Zimmy's day. I also think that Jones did know Zimmy was present, the group was on a buildings roof and frequently Zimmyham is a collective mental hallucination. Someone see Zimmy from a distance calls it in... Add in that I think Zimmy going hot with a break is detectable... Jones might have known what she was doing. If only in setting off essentially the sprinkler system in a case of fire |

According to Zimmy, it can be hard to tell who's real and who's a Nobody, because sometimes real people don't have faces either. This explains why Gamma tried to gop Matt earlier in the chapter. ... But wait a minute. That means Gamma has trouble distinguishing real people from Nobodies, not just Zimmy. Did Gamma walk out on that roof and see a bunch of kids without faces? Or does she, conversely, see Nobodies as having faces like real people? Or was she so sleepy that she didn't even look at their faces but only noticed vaguely human-shaped forms? She's not really looking at Matt when she reaches for him, but she should have been able to see some faces in panel 1. |

I assume it's a combination of Gamma being very tired and just assuming that no real people would be on that roof at this time, because only the two of them are allowed to. And maybe Zimmy immediately telepathy-screaming at her "Get ridda those guys!".
PS: Only now did I realize, that there's a typo on that page - "uspposed" in panel 3. Probably didn't see it among Zimmy's accent.

Something else I just noticed myself:
1296 hours (exactly 54 days) after they met for the first time, Zimmy and Gamma are running through the city together. Gamma being already totally tired out, and Zimmy knowing Gamma can sleep at the library suggests they have spent quite some time together already. A bit more than 723 hours (about 30 days) later, Zimmy finally thinks of asking how Gamma is doing that. Huh. When I read that chapter for the first time, I didn't pay close attention to the timestamps and assumed the latter scene was something like their second meeting, but that's obviously not the case.

I always assumed that interaction was like a rhetorical "I appreciate you doing this and it's absolute magic thank you" type of dialogue, rather than a literal "tell me how you do this."

pyradonis Zimmy isn't really in the habit of questioning the weird things that happen to her. Weird girl suddenly shows up and now there's less nightmares? Awesome, let's stick close to her as much as possible. It doesn't work as well when she's asleep? Ok, let's get her to stay awake as long as possible and go to the library when she needs to sleep. Things go on like that for a few months, and it's only when, eventually, Zimmy starts to register the fact that this is almost like a permanent solution to her nightmare-manifesting problems that she finally has the leisure to ask, "hold on, this is CRAZY. HOW is this is even HAPPENING?!"

What's weird is Gamma and letting her see real things It occurs to me I might not have been very clear - my point isn't really about how weird or not weird Gamma's ability is to Zimmy, it's more just about her having the mental and emotional energy to actually react to how weird it is. That's why it takes a few months before we get that scene Pyradonis brought up. |

Okay, let's have a weird thing that's not about Zimmy and Gamma for a change! Doorbot says that " Robots only!" are allowed to enter through his Boring Door. Annie figures she can get in if she convinces him she's a robot. Which she does, by wearing a headband with antennas. My question is, how come Reynardine gets in too? He doesn't look like a robot. He's not wearing antennas. Yet Doorbot never even challenges him. Once he's convinced about Annie, he invites both of them to come on in. Annie doesn't even claim that Reynardine is her fellow robot until after Doorbot has already let them in. Kinda weird. Or maybe Doorbot is just bad at his job. |
