Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!

[SZbNAhL]

All this talk of monsters is making me wonder where Grantz the monster hunter is. Have we seen her since she brought Othar to Mechanicsburg?

[Rogar Demonblud]

I don't think so, unless she was functioning as an unnamed extra in the background during a crowd scene.

[Fyraltari]

"Hey, knock it off! Some of us have to get up early next millenium, you know!"

- Great Cthulhu

[HandofShadows]

Why do I think we are getting close to the Godzilla Threshold here.

[PraetorDragoon]

Why do I think we are getting close to the Godzilla Threshold here.

You think we are close!?

[Ellen]

And, just like that, things get much, much worse.

Yep, rule one of Sparks: It's already too late to run.

The big clank following Gil looks more or less like her.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Why do I think we are getting close to the Godzilla Threshold here.

I'm pretty sure we hurdled it when the EDM got summoned. I'm not sure what is the next Threshold past that, but we've made it to the far side of that one as well.

[Scarlet Knight]

Mother of Pearl!

[Kareasint]

"Your Majesty, permission to blow the Dome."

[PraetorDragoon]

"Your Majesty, permission to blow the Dome."

Somehow I am feeling that is no longer an adequate solution.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Yup, we are so far past the Godzilla Threshold that Gojira has packed his bags and booked it for safer environs.

[Manga Shoggoth]

And, in deference to the fact that this is currently set in England:

"Here's one I prepared earlier..."

[Traab]

Now this is interesting, I wonder if vapnoodle has been studying albia and how her second stage spark works as he seems to understand the limits of what his opponent can do, calling it a rookie mistake to burn out his energy rush on the noobs, leaving himself vulnerable with only one horror to control. The way albia reacted to his presence does seem to suggest it as she really went off on his presence before learning he had been lobotomized, suggesting he was especially dangerous for a spark in his day.

[xroads]

Huh. This is starting to feel like "Magic The Gathering: Girl Genius Edition."

Lord Snackleford: I'll crush you with my huge beast!
Dr. Vapnoople: Rookie mistake! You've spent all your mana wasting your minions and only have one summons. While I have a half dozen summons on the field.

Good thing I like MtG.

[HandofShadows]

Why do I think this is going to end in a anticlimactic way with Snackleford "snacked" on by something?

[wingnutx]

Snackleford is just an appetizer.

[Rogar Demonblud]

It's even in his name. Snackleford.

So I guess this betting pool is on who gets to eat him.

[HandofShadows]

Well, I'm betting on the monster he just summoned. After all it's classic that those kind of things turn on the summoner.

[SZbNAhL]

And, in deference to the fact that this is currently set in England:

"Here's one I prepared earlier..."

I continue to be amazed that the Blue Peter format has never been exported to any other countries. And for any confused non-Brits, that was my subtle way of explaining the reference.

[wingnutx]

Well, I'm betting on the monster he just summoned. After all it's classic that those kind of things turn on the summoner.

Vapnoople is not just any summoner.


Today I realized that it was "VapnooPle" not "VapnooDle".

[SZbNAhL]

Vapnoople is not just any summoner.


Today I realized that it was "VapnooPle" not "VapnooDle".

If it makes you feel any better, until 2015 I thought it was Vanpoodle.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Vapnoople is not just any summoner.

True, but we're talking about Snacky becoming a snack to the monster he summoned.

[wingnutx]

Ah, my mistake.

[HandofShadows]

Ah, seems like we have a From Beyond reference here. I wonder if the America's could be reached that this part of the story would take place in Lovecraft Country.

[PraetorDragoon]

Are these from the same place as Bob the tentacle-head?

[Rogar Demonblud]

Conservation of detail says yes.

Also, Happy Birthday to Phil!

[Ellen]

Do you know how scary it is to look at crazy, five-fingered Tarvek and find yourself thinking, "I'm so relieved he can help."?

Because, let's face it, in GG world, you know the Titanic was sunk by someone saying, "Of course! Why didn't I see it before? I can use ice to hammer out that dent in the ship!" And someone was so relieved the person saying it could help.

[tonberrian]

I find it somewhat ironic that the hand Tarvek is holding up has one finger cut off.

[PraetorDragoon]

I wonder what the madboy will cook up.
