Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
So I have just started reading this story of a football-headed girl who assembles a robot to help a shadow across a lit bridge because she didn't want to break the rules, but going into a storage room apparently was OK.
...
A storage room that had a sign for "No" in front of the sign that indicated what the storage room was for :-)
What should I expect / be aware of moving forward?Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Ok, what is going on with that library (#22)? One small bookshelf, and a giant open space with no other bookcases or reading tables visible, and an unguarded door that leads ... where it leads?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Also, the Court is really big in area but rather small in population, IIRC the author said a lot of the buildings are not in use due to there being more buildings than people. I don't think we know exactly why that is.

You could say that some of the Key questions you probably already have about the comic have been Bouncing around for more than a decade know

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Do tell us when you reach chapter 51. It's always interesting getting people's first impressions of the character first seen therein.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Basil? A time-share?
EDIT: Wait, effectively a 30-story bunk bedroom?
EDIT 2: Ok, now she's willing to break the rules. And a train with that sign on it?
EDIT 3: Did not see that coming, I thought this was a good-guy dragon imprisoned unjustly.Last edited by keybounce; 2019-03-19 at 06:20 PM.

Chapter 5.
In which we have a science experiment.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
And now she has an evil, body-snatching "dragon" (that was only the last snatched body) as a "pet", with the motto of "You didn't tell me not to".
Chapter 6
An artificial environment growing a real fruit tree
EDIT: And, what has that fruit, or strange environment, done to their legs?
Chapter 7
And, she's on that bridge that she insisted was off limits?
And is that her robot from chapter 1?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
One of the recurring theme of the setting is a melding of artificial and natural. The Court is an artificial thing, but it grows organically in a way. The robots are programmed to build the Court, so that's what they do, even if the Court is already much larger than it needs to. Think of it as the technological mirror to the magical forest. A forest will grow organically as long as it finds more terrain on which to expand; the Court is a forest of buildings.

It is off limits; an alarm goes off the instant she touches the ground below the steps.

Actually, no, the Court was grown from the Seed Bismuth. https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=877

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
The Court have referred to them as "Subject Gamma" and "Subject Zeta" in the past, so it's possible there's also a Subject Beta out there somewhere. Knowing this comic, she's probably hidden in the background writing insults on the walls so small that you need a microscope to see them.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
I like this page, although I was expecting something a bit more spectacular than this, considering the fireworks Annie has done before.
