Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Perhaps that's a "tell" - the Foglio's are letting us know Agatha is not willing and / or able to veto anything by the end of the adventure arc. Dead? Exalted Queen of Time and Space unconcerned with the opinions of mortals? Or ... even ... The Heterodyne of Mechanicsburg, truly above it all?
This ... is my signature finishing move!

I now have a little mental video of Dimo at the DMV to take his driving test, and it's so good I wish I could share it.

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Ugh, anyone here read mercedes lackey? She has this one duo of two women who go off and do big time stuff as mercs, one a swordswoman, the other a mage. They find themselves being constantly stalked by a bard who takes the littlest thing they do and turning it into an epic tale. Here are the lyrics to one where the lady is actually arguing (in song)
The warrior and the sorceress rode into Viden-town
For they had heard of evil there and meant to bring it down
An overlord with iron hand who ruled his folk with fear --
Hey Barkeep, shut that minstrel up and and bring another beer.
The warrior and the sorceress went searching high and low
That isn’t true, I tell you, and I think that I should know!
They meant to find the tyrant who’d betrayed his people’s trust
And bring the monster’s power and pride to tumble in the dust
Toooo tumble in the dust
They searched through all the town to find and bring him to defeat.
Like Hell! What we were looking for was wine and bread and meat!
They found him in the tavern and they challenged him to fight.
We found him holding up the bar, drunk as a pig, that night.
The tyrant laughed and mocked at them, with vile words and base.
He tripped on Warrl’s tail, then took exception to my face.
The warrior was too wise for him; his blade clove only air!
He swung, I ducked, he lunged -- and then he tripped over a chair.
With but a single blow the warrior brought him to his doom!
About that time he turned around -- I got him with a broom.
And in a breath the deed was done! The tyrant-lord lay dead!
I didn’t mean for him to hit the fire iron with his head!
The wife that he had kept shut up they freed and set on high
And Viden-town beneath her hand contentedly did lie.
I went to find his next-of-kin and to the girl confess --
“Your husband wasn’t much before, but now he’s rather less --”
“He was a drunken bum, and I’ll be better off”, she said.
“And while I can’t admit it, I’m not sorry that he’s dead.
So here’s a little something -- but you’d best be on your way --
I’ll claim it was an accident if you’ll just leave today.”
In triumph out of Viden-town the partners rode again
To find another tyrant and to clean him from his den --
The scourge of evil and the answer to a desperate prayer!
Don’t you believe a word of it -- I know, ‘cause I was there!
Heh, im just getting a vibe, though it would feel more likely if it was that storyteller fellow trying to write her biography."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"
Translation: "Sometimes I get this urge to conquer large parts of Europe."
"If you don't get those cameras out of my face, I'm gonna go 8.6 on the Richter scale with gastric emissions that'll clear this room."

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Whatever Agatha might do doesn't matter. Her experience of Paris should tell her that the myth will always outpace the reality. In the sticks, she found the power of the shared Heterodyne stories as a culture spanning even warring communities. In Paris, the combination of Heterodyne stories and commercialism are unstoppable. If she wears the slave girl outfit to the party, well, that is to be expected but in the stories it will be smaller, and even more revealing. If she wore a mumu, there would be a slave girl outfit and a lover concealed by it. This is a fight just not worth having.

By the way things have been going, I suppose Agatha is now out of the filler and back in the plot.

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Speaking of "filler", I suspect Agatha's slave girl outfit will make a reappearance when Violetta makes her play for Von Zinzer...

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
So Agatha shouldn't even bother?
Maybe she should go naked, carrying enough weapons toequip a small armywipe out a large army.
I don't think they could exaggerate that.
Okay, that approach might have a few other problems, but in the worst case she can start using those guns. No witnesses no problem. The Jägermonster would approve. They might be a bit disappointed that they didn't get to join the fun through. Those that aren't in Paris I mean.Last edited by Kantaki; 2016-09-24 at 07:01 PM.

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
I'm now in the really meta-place of wondering how Agatha's biographer is going to represent her despite having read for years what's (probably? maybe?) how the biographer represents her.
Meanwhile, I wonder how much trouble it's going to take to protect the wasp-eater--and which faction is trying to catch it? And how will the Master of Paris feel about this?

Wow. I'm not sure I even want to know what Zeetha's skeleton is made of, when she can do something like that without breaking every bone in her foot and leg!

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
"Are you going to teach me to do that?" is priceless. Also, when you can make a Smoke Knight say "Whoa" that's pretty good.
Artistically, Zeetha coiled up and ready to kick is excellent IMNHO.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Well its a different field of specialty. Smoke knights are all about sneaky fun back stabby times and poison, so seeing someone able to snap kick a robot apart without even a pretension of subtlety would be pretty impressive to them. Especially from a human. I mean seeing a jeager tear a robot apart is meh, you expect that sort of thing. But a barefoot human? Not so much.

Now I'm seeing hats in place of pokemon. Which of these three starter hats will you choose?
The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
Silly question.
Of course Agatha doesn't know how the aristocracy thinks.
She's a Heterodyne

Re: Girl Genius XX: Endothermic Life Forms Are Inherently Heretical
I would have thought the Heterodyne Ham was related to their bombastic and over-the-top personalities. I suppose that when you chew as much scenery as the average Heterodyne, all those extra calories have to end up somewhere.

So Agatha is about to walk into a costume party dressed like a stripper with boots on.
Even Paris will be shocked, and shocking the Parisians is difficult.This ... is my signature finishing move!
