I just think it's a pity that she never wore these again.

Good news, Annie doing well and not even harmed! After a week's wait every colour suddenly looks fancier!
Edit: And, at last, the fall fixed her half-tuck.

Oh sure, spark a flame inside the tight, narrow space with walls almost completely made of combustible material...

So I guess there IS at least one death in this chapter. RIP half-tuck, 02.06.2021-08.09.2021, you won't be forgotten. |

For some reason, feels a bit like the Perspective chapter, everyone seperated and trying to find wach other. Hopefully no evil wisps to get in the way this time though. |

Ironwood has proved to be quite a good fire retardant, also Annie can control which things the flame will burn (if it's hers). It's right that oxygen is a different kind of concern, though. |

Oh, but wouldn't it be diabolical if there was one type of fire that Annie wasn't immune to? Definitely don't think that's where this is going (if Tom's comment is true, we're just looking at a bit of conjured light), but what a terrible little discovery that'd be. |

Next question, who conjured it? Best case Eggs or Aata. Loup worst case. I'm thinking Aata, because if nothing else Annie interacting with him one on one would be the most interesting, plot wise.

I took that as her fire wouldn't be effective and she should have another way to fight |

Because it looked like she was still regaining consciousness when it appeared. Also, last time she tried to conjure light using her fire, it was with her finger, not suspended in midair like this is. Edit: To be fair though, that second point was one I only remembered when writing the reply. |

Luckily, Annie knows that werelights are repelled by their holy symbol, the Power Symbol. The next page will be her futilely trying to make the symbol with her hands, with the werelight responding, "Are those gang signs? Who the hell are you?"

Pretty sure Annie is not the source of the light. She wakes up coughing and the light is already illuminating her face - and while coughing, she's unlikely to be concentrating on making a light. And she looks up at it warily, like she's not quite sure of it - which she wouldn't do if she'd made it herself. Whoever conjured it knows where Annie is, which, after all that tumbling/ascending chaos www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2512would be difficult for Aata of Eggs to guess (unless its some sort of seeking spell?). I think its more likely to by conjured by Loup or our old friend Coyote.... EDIT: Whoops, sorry madjack, you already said some of this! |

For some reason I failed to realize the light appeared while Annie was still busy coughing. However, could it not also be a creature of some kind, instead of having been conjured? I must say, I am not familiar with the term "werelight". |

Tom seems to be hinting in that direction (tho maybe its just a joke...): werelight, I think, is concocted from the same source as e.g., werewolf. Implying, I guess, that it is a creature that, under certain circumstances (a full moon? being buried under a ton of Forest?) becomes a altered, luminous creature. |

If parley hadn't already teleported out of the way she should be able to now (with a little help from smitty to be sure she doesn't end up in more dirt). Hopefully everyone stuck has a nice pocket they can stand in like annie and not be trapped unable to move.

Werelight.
'Were' meaning man, 'light' meaning illumination.
Werelight: man-light.
The werelight is The Human Torch!
I knew we'd be getting a Gunnerkrigg - Marvel crossover sooner or later.

And then Coyote remembered, "Oh! I am Loki too!" |

The word "werelight" looked familiar, so I googled it, and found that it appeared in Ursula K. LeGuin's "Wizard of Earthsea" books. It's been a long time since I read them, so I can't recall the details, but it was apparently a magical light that wizards could conjure up.

Well, we know Tinkerbell can shift among at least three forms, and sometimes appears as just a spot of light... maybe this is her.

It's been a long time since I read them, so I can't recall the details, but it was apparently a magical light that wizards could conjure up. It was indeed first coined by LeGuin I believe, basically just a magical light (werelight-light that came from a man, rather than torchlight, or sunlight, that have more obvious sources). But other fantasy authors have used it with the same meaning since then, I have definitely read the term in other books also, which is what I assume Tom is doing here. |
