Aww, issa Dingbot Prime! Let's let it loose and see what happens!
The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
That is one long callback and I am sure it was planned. I think this raises some scary implications. These guys had agents in the Empire before everything went pear shaped and clearly know more than we thought they knew. Also since that bot had a lot of info on the Other it raises the possibility that the monster these people are trying to summon may be Lucrezia.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Considering the situation in paris it would only make sense that england as well as a lucrezia problem that agatha will bring to light. Immortal beings who are sure of their omnipotence tend to start missing things because of their assumed superiority. Of course this applies to lucrezia as well most likely. I honestly wonder if this is going to end up forming a new version of the cabal we learned about in paris where everyone unites to face down the other this time. I mean, albia already has learned, holy crud, this may be the same being that murdered my fellow queens, learning that she managed to infiltrate her kingdom for lord knows how long may also persuade her that she has to move directly to destroy lucrezia, and do so as part of a group effort. Im sure the mistress of paris will agree as well once she has had some time to get her house in order. And of course gil is already fighting her. Even martellus, if tarvek doesnt somehow supplant him, would probably be willing to work with them on this.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Martellus has shown himself more than happy to work with Agatha in the past (cf. The Beast, Andronicus Valois), but I can't see him working with Gil willingly, much less Tarvek. Also, Colette's very emphatically the Master.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I don't think it's arrogance on Albia's part. She does rule a might nation as well as being immortal. She just didn't remember who had killed the other queens because she hadn't looked at her memories from that time. If you had several thousand years of memories you would miss a lot as well. Especially from a thousand of years ago. On the other hand with Lucrezia I think you are correct. She is arrogant to the extreme and apparently it's already come back to bit her a bunch of times, but she doesn't learn.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
That would be here, with the chase sequence beginning here
And I'm pretty sure Lucrezia got stuck in time when Van Rijn captured her.Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Tiny correction, it's very few comics later, here.
And soon afterwards, Wooster showed up in the circus. I assume that it was him who found the Dingbot and that it gave him the first hints towards Agatha in Sturmhalten. And that's how the Dingbot wound up in Britain. Not sure if Albia had discarded the bot as unimportant, so her researchers could have it? And also not sure, if said researchers have already understood that the Dingbots are little sparks.participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
The arrogance is in assuming that because you have always been so far above the common rabble you always will be and dont have to keep pushing. The master as an example was basically the god of paris. You couldnt litter without him knowing about it. In his case though it was less arrogance and more the sheer march of time forcing his omnipotence to wane. For albia, to go against her has been literally unthinkable for a very long time. How long has it been since she had to enforce that reality last? When she was last tested not by an army of invading mutant squid, but by secret agents moving in shadow and silence? Carefully obscured plots that in turn even more carefully hide the real goals?

12 years 7 months and 14 days. That's got to be in the Top Ten.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
That just means "beautifully buttocked", without defining what beautiful buttocks exactly are, so it's subjective. Some like big butts (and cannot lie, yes), others prefer slim butts.
Doesn't fit either. Phil Foglio's cartoon women have cartoony hourglass figures, so they're curvy yet slim at the same time. Rubens' women don't have a thin waist.
E.g. look here at Agatha's prone figure; she's wasp-waisted.

I wonder who was at Sturmhalten capturing dingbots, and writing "Sturmhalten" on the blackboard.

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
And, by the horrified look on his face, I think Tarvek is going to try to find Violetta and revive her. Hope it works.
Question: Is Tarvek realizing he thinks of Violetta as a non-psychotic, non-homicidal, non-meglomaniac, and a few other nons sister? Or are they far enough apart on their family tree for him to be realizing something else without it being kind of disturbing?Last edited by Ellen; 2019-02-08 at 01:32 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
A little verisimilitude-breaking for me.
First panel: This place is dangerous and trying to kill us!
Last panel: Whaaaaaaat? People I know and care about (who are here where everything is trying to kill us) might die? Whaaaaa???
Does Tarvek know that Violetta (and he) are main characters, and thus shouldn't just die? No. He knows that the two of them are adventurers in an extremely dangerous place. I get being upset. Maybe even surprised that he is so upset. Surprised in general? Shouldn't be.
