Subj: It's quite obvious from previous evidence that he just can't look away. Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 at 08:57:05 am EST (Viewed 6 times) | Reply Subj: You'll scare Adam away with comments like that! Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 at 06:20:58 am EST (Viewed 2 times) | ||||||
Quote: Quote: We've also got the revelation that The Abyssal Greye is/was Buckland Dean (or was that already known?), former leader of the Improbable College, and forebear of FFF. Quote: Well it was quite the origin. I'm not sure how many people would willingly allow themselves to be eaten like that. Well Finny is all about the mission. Quote: I do also like that Sarah worked it out. You captured her shock there. There is another character who is more savvy than she pretends. Quote: Quote: It was a mistake and has now hopefully been entirely corrected. Hieronymous del Lune would have been quite out of his timeline here.Quote: A timeline would be helpful. But maybe that can be done after.Whenever you feel inspired. Quote: Quote: Quote: The question of whether these historical versions are different people or just other-lives versions of the same people remains unknown.Quote: Probably not something we want to think about too much really. Except... comic books! Quote: Quote: Quote: Visionary and Hallie are still to join up again. Quote: Quote: Well, there were 150 years earlier, but that's now moot.Quote: It is?Yes, the tunnel transition sent them back to meet Chokohontas, who is from that earlier period. So clearly they're all back in 1552-ish now. Quote: Quote: We're really into metaphysical speculation here. Hallie is a sentient being who was originally based upon the engrams of a murdered computer genius, Helen MacAllistair (she who it turned out did not cheat with Al B. when he was dating Muffy Framlicker). Yet Hallie is not the electronic ghost of Helen. So is Black Helen the Greenhag an ancestor of Dr MacAllistair's? And if so is she a direct descendant, because if so Black Helen has some spawning to get on with?Quote: I don't know. And again, perhaps best to not think on it too much? But the name "Black Helen the Greenhag" is a pretty cool name, all things considered. (Not quite as cool as Blow-Ye-The-Trumpets-In-Sion of course).More on both of them in Chapter 31, of course, together again for the last time! Quote: Quote: That same leaving-descendants argument also affects Fredo, Cap'n Biancaneve etc. We can safely assume that Buckland Dean will not now be dating much.Quote: I got the feeling he was a bit older and probably had already got that (and children) out of the way?No, Buckland is a young scholar when Sarah saves him from the Church of Conformity two years earlier. I suspect that girls had not played a big part in his life up till then. Quote: Quote: Quote: Some of these seem very close to the current protagonists to be just ancestors (The Purveyors for instance)? Quote: Quote: Indeed.Quote: Jarringly close...what are/were they up to!We've previously learned that the Resolution Prophecy keeps shaping history to put certain characters in place to play out the events that will answer the Question for which the Parodyverse was made. So different LL-like organisations and their opponents spring up all along the timeline as the Resolution Prophecy tries to line up all its ducks. But just try getting the Parodyverse to be that organised! Quote: Quote: All just forebears? There's a whole lot of familiar connections going on...coincidence?Quote: Quote: CSFB! has written great screeds on why CrazySugarFreakHeroes! keep cropping up.Quote: Well, yes his are well documented. It was all the other connections (implied-real-or coincidental) I was thinking about. I blame the Resolution Prophecy. AG blamed the Cowled Criminal (A Junior Reader). It might also have been caused by Eddie the Imp. Or Hedgehogs of Time, I suppose. Or just the fact that this is a Parodyverse. Quote: "I'm just going down the the cellar to get some...coital."Your words, not mine. Quote: Quote: I got one and a half scenes in before the dreaded dealine doom took me.Quote: Aww, sorry to hear. Hope you get over it. Indeed. But it became clear that was the last chapter of the issue, not of the story. Quote: Quote: Quote: Quote: Now to get everyone into a single room to reveal whodunnit.Quote: Quote: You're almost there. Quote: Quote: Not even close. There are cast who haven't even showed up yet.Quote: Yikes! You really are going to try to fit EVERYONE in. There is room for at least one more interferer with an unfinished plotline, anyhow. Quote: Well, if we're being that broad we may as well add Crazy Penguin Lady in there too. Noted. Quote: Quote: And whilst you are wrecking your brain, do not forget:Quote: Quote: Quote: "the yellow-coated corpse" = Visionary."a raven-feather quill" umm, Chronicler? "a matted clump of purple rabbit fur" Yo! "a rusted Antikythera-like mechanism" Al B. or Yuki, or Hallie. "a dusty ball the size of a small fist" ? "a dried leaf rotted to brown flinders" who is our nature character again? "a stoppered stone bottle with crusted white mould around the cork." ... Sorceress? Quote: As if I could forget the da Visionary Code! I'm now more thinking the various items are indeed the side-kicks. ie: Quoth, Rabbito, probably Fleabot. I figured the ball was CSFB! but now as a sidekick I'm not so sure. leaf is spiffy's fern? bottle still has me stumped. Quote: Has Rhiannon worked it out yet?Not all of it. And she still doesn't know who the big baddie behind it all is. | |||||||
