[Webcomic] Let's Talk Gunnerkrigg Court
- Thread starter Allen who is Quiet
- Start date
Friday: Okay, so Kat's uncomfortable from what was implied about her at the get-together, but was okay with snuggling up with Antimony... so long as no one can see? :/
I don't understand what you're saying.
On the one hand, Kat could be coming to see something she wasn't sure about and now she's nervous of others seeing it in her.
On the other hand, this could be just a reaction to the other girl having the mistakenly perceiving Kat's sexuality, and now Kat has gone into over self-awareness mode so that others do not have the same misperception.
People seem to think Kat is homosexual, even though she is not. She's probably just trying distance herself from that.
The sentence itself is just supposed to be silly and not mean anything.

Ah, okay. Then number 2 of what I was thinking. I hate how she's going to be all self-conscious about her actions over that.
Being a teenager sucks.
I really doubt it. Diego's robots feel a lot more like vanity projects. He probably wouldn't want to risk them getting damaged.
Haha, he totally does. Yeah, if Jeanne sparred with anyone, it was probably other court warriors as well as some of the forest guys.
This girl needs to drop her bastard sword and pick up a saber, epee, or rapier. There's a reason we stopped using them after awhile and Robot demonstrated it perfectly.

Assuming she isn't going to be wearing plate, yes. The reason the sword of choice changed from the claymore to the rapier was because gunpowder made steel armor obsolete, and it became more advantageous to be fast than to be armored. But I don't remember anyone off the top of my head using a gun in this area, though presumably nothing says one couldn't exist I suppose.
(yes I started reading again. bleah. I just hope it doesn't turn back into DawsonCreek Court again)
Things outside the Court don't NEED guns. They have magic. That's like having a gun that can do more than kill you.
Though now I want so see the girls strap on proton packs and ghostbust the bitch.

Fair point - a handheld lightningbolt would also render plate useless. But really, since they're going up against a supposedly ethereal opponent anyway... wouldn't ANY mundane sword be considered ineffective?
It's possible that Annie will lend her Coyote's Tooth to fight her. We've never seen it in action but it's magical nature could be enough to harm her... and that's assuming The Court doesn't have stuff they can use, which is likely true.

Again, I might not be remembering correctly, but wasn't one of coyote's conditions for giving her the tooth that nobody can know she has the tooth, under pain of death?
No. When Annie went into the forest for the summer, she couldn't tell anybody or she'd lose a hand. Reynard seems to know, but Annie has kept it a secret for the most part.
That was while she was spending the summer in the Forest and that mark was removed once she moved back into the dorms for the school year. Also, it was just her hand she would lose. That isn't to say that Coyote wouldn't be upset if she used it but she's had the thing for more than a year and she's never used it. It's time to pull Chekov's Gun off the wall and fire it.
Jeanne is down by the river as a sentry. If the psychic rage ghost is gone, all sorts of things could cross, and who knows what kind of brouhaha that would cause?
I think Annie and Kat only have two years left at the school as it is. If something big is going to happen, this is the year to do it.
Was wondering when she'd start teleporting while she fought.
