So, Zimmy's wording. I think we can trust her to understand the difference between the bones coming out of Annie and the bones piercing into her. So it doesn't seem like she's being "sealed" by anybody. Maybe it's self-induced?

[Freack]

I am glad to see I was right about the bones thing, and I would agree that we cannot determine whether this is ... condition comes from within or an outside source yet.

Poor Zeta. She sees things in terms of artistic symbolism.All the time

I laughed. That does seem to be the point of this section though.
Also, that would be so interesting, and suck so much in real life.

No but actually. It must really suck.

[BlueYoshi]

Oh noooooo--wait someone's probably done this joke already.
I've been meaning to read through the archive of Guunerkrigg since late 2006! Oh well, better later than never (had lots more to read through the weekend at least).

[weirdguy]

i hope this doesn't end badly (but it probably will)

[Freack]

Alright, so Zimmy definitly thinks that these as coming from space.

I hesitate to doubt her, but I really do not want Mr. Carver to be the sort of person who would do this willingly. Urgh.

[Bandages]

I vaguely trust that Anthony is doing something for Annie's benefit here, so

This could get ugly fast

[weirdguy]

it's like that joke where somebody yanks really hard on a telephone wire and the guy on the other end gets pulled face first into the socket

but on the spiritual plane and through a satellite in orbit

[chimericWilder]

I doubt Anthony is on board Microsat 5. Pretty sure it is too small for that.
Though i guess i might be wrong (again).

[The_Codfish]

Though, didn't the court look bigger when Annie looked at it through her spirit stone? I remember SOMETHING like that.

But anyway, physical space isn't an issue since Annie's body didn't hitch a ride on the 'sat.

[BlueYoshi]

I guess this adds more confusion to whether Anthony is doing this on purpose, or if it's for a good cause or not. I've been hoping that he's been doing something to help Annie in the long run, but this looks bad.

Is it possible to make a phone call to Jones's all the way from the satellite?

[Druplesnubb]

I have no idea what's going on in this page. Why does Zimmy shoot fire from her eyes with a dude (Anthony?) and a disembodied head in it?

[EyeKat]

I must have missed something along the way but why is Zimmy so intent on helping Annie?

[weirdguy]

the fire thing is the view she's getting from tapping into the connection

we need to go deeper

also, annie's memories keep latching onto zimmy so i guess doing this might resolve that issue and this is why she is here doing these things right now

wow yeah
confusing imagery all of a sudden

it's the right thing to do? or something?

[godFish]

As far as I can tell, Zimmy is seeing whatever force is resisting her touching the bones, which seems to be Anthony using Annie's fire, or at least Anthony is standing 'between' Zimmy and Annie. Zimmy potentially forced Anthony back when she reached the bones, which is why he appears smaller and farther back in the second shot.

[bloodyEmissary]

it's the right thing to do? or something?

Gammy Gams asked her to.

[Rikushadow5]

What's all this, then.

[Xartarin]

The fire in her eyes represents her seeing into Annie's world, or taking on some of her qualities, or something? It might be like that scratch on her face she ripped off earlier.

At least this explains what those bones are. They lead to Platform 9 3/4! All Zimmy needs to do is reach in and grab Annie's spirit or something, problem solved.

[Freack]

I thought perhaps the gray wall was the psychic projection of the space shuttle, or wherever this cage-y disturbance is coming from.

*shrug* I have no idea.

[unbridledExüberance]

Zimmy: True Neutral or Chaotic Good? Or possibly Chaotic Neutral. Maybe even Neutral Good...
I'm just going to go with Chaotic Amazing.


I think she would be best described as Chaotic Good, though without Gamma there as another moral compass, I think she would become True Neutral.

[chimericWilder]

Zimmy's alignment is a lot more confusing than can be accurately described by the alignment grid, i think

[BewareOfNerd]

She's obviously Chaotic Groady.

[Rikushadow5]

Chaotic Neutral with Good influences from Gamma.

[Crazy-8]

Ok that was awesome.

I don't understand completely what she just did.

But it was awesome.
