Girl Genius Comic for Wednesday, July 12, 2023
Added 2023-07-12 03:15:59 +0000 UTCI've started playing the Beta for the video game, and I'm having a lot of fun! I keep getting blown up by the little waddling chicken clanks.
I was in the basement packing boxes at around 2:30 this morning, and forgot that in the wee hours of the night the water filter does its usual weird late-night maintenance thing. The first time I ever heard it was the most effective, of course, because I had no idea what was happening and my kid had come to me saying "there's a really weird sound in the basement!" Now I know what it is, but that doesn't really help much because it is a) very very loud, and b)on some kind of frequency that sets my lizard brain screaming that a portal to actual Hell has opened in the laundry room.
So anyway, that was my cue to shut everything down and go upstairs as quickly as possible. I think the fact that I did shut the lights out behind me as I went proves that I am actually a very brave little monkey and not a big chicken who is afraid of portals to hell.
Also the car died and they can't even get around to it for two weeks. Bleh.
Ok, I've got a couple more pages to letter, because Phil's trying to pull ahead!
Thanks again everyone!

You can't get to it for two weeks? You're going to fix the car yourself?

2023-07-12 10:00:30 +0000 UTCI think Franz is more of a "big picture" guy and doesn't care *how* they got to the result he wanted -- Blintzie not being a threat -- so much as they did, in fact, get there. Also, I suspect by the indifferent way he handed the Iram Solis over when asked, it's probably not nearly as valuable as she thinks it is.

2023-07-12 03:53:14 +0000 UTCWhat is the "nice job" the Franz is congratulating Brother Marcus on accomplishing by setting off the dragon ghost illusion? Getting rid of Blintzie? That was Hector's doing. Hector was prompted to do so when Lumi was frightened by the fake ghost and destroyed the chandelier, causing a suitable distraction, but Brother Marcus could certainly not have been counting on that. Plus, Blintzie still has the Iram Solis, which, up to now, was something that Brother Marcus seemed to want to prevent.
