Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Colette may well believe that there's no way Tweedle can hold the throne without help, and she's better served negotiating with his Grandmother. For example, if the all-seeing Master of Paris saw Grandma helping Zola, and can prove it, that may give her a hold on Grandma, and therefore on both Tweedle and Tarvek.
We have a couple of plus-sized Chekov's guns incoming: Gil/Bang, and Higgs/Vole. It would seem to be a shame to have them show up just to talk about Agatha's next move.This ... is my signature finishing move!

So Collette is not running Papa's Paris.
Spoiler
All of you must leave. Begone! You have proven yourself, but since I must close Paris to The Other and her agents, you must leave because I can't have friends help me.
I'm sorry, Collette is making no sense at all here. It might make sense if she could not trust these people -- better safe than sorry -- but I think that all of them are trustworthy.
I mean, what's wrong with Gil, Travek, a smoke knight, a couple of missing smoke knights, a trouble-magnet friend (yes, she'll help, but she'll attract trouble), that Grandmother, ...
Riiight. Ok, all of you out.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
I predict he's not even there, and that Mr. Obsidian dragged him away again involuntarily. There had to be some reason why Grandma's strong-arm kidnapping expert suddenly popped up again.
And Gil won't be allowed into the city. As Colette just said, the gates are sealed.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Yeah, I think all of them are some combination of untrustworthy (Martellus and family) and/or trouble magnet (Agatha), and they're all so powerful that those traits make them very dangerous to have in the city. Also Agatha has The Other's voice, which brings up the possibility of her commanding the Revenants within Paris. Even if Colette trusts her, she might do it by accident or Lucrezia-in-Agatha might get temporary control, and that's a serious risk.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Slaver wasps have been around for 20-odd years and nobody has yet figured out a way to get rid of the things--not even the Baron could do it. Why would Gil or Tarvek be in any better position to solve that problem than all the other Sparks who have presumably tried and failed?

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Access to information passed through Tarvek's family from their original association with Lucrezia, which was never used to study un-wasping people before because they wanted to build better wasps instead? Such information has already been used by Gil (given to him by Tarvek) to develop a wasp-proofing formula which he used on Bang.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
The fact that they're so powerful also makes this a smart move by Colette - she's the new Master of Paris, and there's an immediate crisis affecting it; she needs to be seen to be the one acting on it and/or solving it if the populace are to have any faith in her ability to run the city. If the the Lady Heterodyne or the newly crowned Storm King are seen helping her, even tangentially, there will always be a level of doubt that Colette is just a puppet or figurehead.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Well, this was necessary for the plot, so we'll let the competence of Colette's thinking slide. I wonder if this applies to the Deep Kingdoms? Is Paris closed vertically?
The Library is going to be peeved, no doubt.
I wonder what will happen when Gil/Band and Higgs/Vole arrive and are turned away?This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Makes sense. It's harsh, but probably necessary for Paris' survival.
Also, he worked with Lu-in-Agatha's-body in Strumhalten. He knows more about her technology than anyone else. That's how he was able to devise the wasp immunity potion, which Gil actually made and used (and is using). If anyone can figure out how to unwasp someone without killing them, it's probably him.

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Voluntary or not, Oggie has the hat.
And suddenly, <name forgotten> appears with a "You must go to England!" message, in the best let's-get-on-with-the-plot tradition.
Colette's "We're all friends but I'm exiling you from my city!" message makes a little more sense in the context of "The Other is everywhere!".This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXII: Paris Needs Pants
Spoiler
The Foglios announced at one point that after England Agatha and Co. are heading to Africa. if this is still true, I predict that circus member Embi will reveal something about his homeland that will prompt the journey. The most likely cause would be some sort of functioning portal.
