Girl Genius XV: The Weasel, the Spark, and the Wardrobe

[BWR]

Now let's hope she's learned enough from Othar to turn on, set loose or make crazy all experiments and set fire to the place before she leaves.

[petersohn]

She will also need to create a death ray before she leaves.

[HandofShadows]

I was going to say this either going to be a rocket sled or giant clank horses.

How about a clank horse riding a rocket sled?

[Lochar]

You know, with the way Agatha is looking behind her in that last panel, I could almost think she's looking at Krosp. "Well, we've got a four legged creature right there to pull it!"

[Samuel Sturm]

I'm hoping she's going to hitch the sled to the monster we just saw, myself. Looks like it might like to get out and play.

No that would constitute treating it with "disrespect" and trying to get it to "obey her", which is a good way to get eaten. Besides why use monster legs when she can build mechanical legs

[wingnutx]

Doesn't look like a very fast monster.

[SlyGuyMcFly]

How about a clank horse riding a rocket sled?

No, no, no. Rocket horse pulling a sled with little clank legs.

[eee]

No, no, no. Rocket horse pulling a sled with little clank legs.

A dozen clank reindeer with deathray eyes and rocket hooves pulling a sled through the air!!!

On the other hand, Agatha is a Spark; that might be too prosaic for her. She might put rockets on the sled, a dis-integrator beam in front, attach clank horses with wheels to the back, and she, Vi, and Krosp will ride THEM as the sled hurls them through the snow, wiping out trees and mountains in the way...

Agatha needs to make a few tiny clanks to help build her vehicle then some can be left behind and build more out of everything they find and have little wars for who is #1, and learn from the knights of jove how to backstab their rival clanks.

I think she only ever makes 1 dingbot prime in a location. The reason we ended up with 2 in der kestle was because Gil brought one in from Castle Wulfenbach.

And then she made a Dingbot Superprime to resolve that issue, resulting in 3 primes (of varying degrees) in one location.

Hrm? Oh, no, I don't have anything to add to this discussion. I just want to leave a post here so there is a little checkmark next to this thread. It's quite good and I don't want to loose it.

Next thing you know, they're running the castle instead of the Knights!

[Qwertystop]

Um. Thirteen minutes til midnight EST. Are the Foglios finally missing a Monday?

[Porthos]

They made it with seconds to spare!!!! The Streak LIVES!!!!!!!!

[Rockphed]

On monday's update, did anyone get an "Underminer" vibe?

[petersohn]

This is exactly what I expected. Still, I like Agatha's speech.

[Lord Raziere]

The thing she is making is going to be something ridiculous and stupid isn't it? Just something completely bonkers and inane that no one would expect to work, except when they actually use it, it works superbly and everyone is surprised that the absurdity of science and nature gets them out of there alive.

[Stabbey]

Agatha's sparked out before, but I think this is the first time you can truly say she has gone to the Madness Place. I guess the 2.5 year time jump has made her crack.

No, there have been a couple of occasions where she's hit the Madness Place before, I reckon--in the coffee shop in Mechanicsburg, and again when she was shown hovering with a ring of Sparky devices orbiting her (forget exactly when that was).

That was in everyone's favorite arc, the one with the sickness if I remember well. Look under the title "Mad Science" in the archives.

[HandofShadows]

I wonder if Agatha isn't intentional going to the madness place to creat some super spark machine and then it's going to be sent out and either followed or destroyed. Meanwhile Agatha and company sneak out the back door.

[Radar]

Also that small scene under the Heterodyne Boys monument and probably a few other situations. She just never got the opportunity to properly monologue and Violetta gave her the proper cue.

That being said, I enjoyed every bit of her ego trip. I think I have a soft spot for characters, that can be theatrical in the right moment as for example Akisame from Historys' Strongest Disciple Kenichi:

Spoiler

Show

Then let's cheat God!! Let's cut the cycle of rebirth, let's distort nature!! The human technique that challenges the second law of thermodynacis head-on!!! That is known as medicien!!!! As if I'd give my precious friend away to someone like God!!!

[stsasser]

Coffee Engine 2.0 !

[Lochar]

Coffee Engine 2.0 !

Yes but does she have about two hours to truly warp the laws of nature?

[VariaVespasa]

Now we know where the tailor-bot got it from... :)

[Othniel Edden]

Violetta's stupified look amuses me.

[FLHerne]

That phrasing - "That is when one can truly glimpse the mechanics of the universe...the results of logic? Of natural progression? Boring!" - makes me think 'time machine'. Anyone else?

[eee]

OMG, he's BACK!!

And he wants to turn Tarvek into TUXEDO KAMEN!!

(goes into convulsions...)
