Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
IIRC Heinlein had a story about a guy who, through time-travel and sex reassignment surgery, was both his own father and mother. Future he impregnated past she, and there were complications during the birth that resulted in she becoming he.
He had no plausible answer to the question of "How do you exist", but Descartes-like, insisted that he did.
Therefore it's entirely possible that we'll find out that Agatha is Lucrezia's mother or some such. Once you start time traveling, you can't stop.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Why do I get the feeling that this Ancient Secret Rite is going to be a huge anticlimax. And have something to do with hats.

Given this was established by the Olde Skoole Heterodynes I doubt it's that benign.

Yes, that's obviously the Doylist answer. What's the Watsonian one though?

Even if the Professora wasn't a Mechanisburg resident, I have no doubt she'd be an honourary one by the end of this arc.

I'm getting the impression that "Get some rando (ideally an outsider) to play the Heterodyne" is actually part of the tradition.

Naah. Rattlegat did it for the last 8 years.
On the other hand, isn't Snozz looking well? And all dressed up for the occasion. Mind you, he probably didn't have much notice last time...Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Ahh, Snozz. You know Girl Genius is a product of its time when the acceptable initial reaction to "it's a girl!" is "Oh, can I have sex with it? Hmm, maybe not."
So, is the Professora a Spark, or just your typical obsessive academic? I'm starting to think she won't get this paper written ... that greedy "I will learn all your secrets!" attitude never turns out well....I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

But not as many as when your last name is Heterodyne.

Okay, well, before, I was thinking she wouldn't get her paper written, but now ...
The Professora is going to be okay ... isn't she?I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
The Professors are (in comic) are supposed to have traveled from the GG universe to ours and this story is them recounting Agatha's history. IIRC they were running from Agatha because she was very mad at them. So it's even better than plot armor, we know she will make it though because she is telling the story.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
So, on this night
Der Kestle is shut down
The Jaegers are distracted
And the Heterodyne is explicitly Alone (They make a big show of walking back alone)
I feel like this tradition is about either 1) Buying the Heterodyne some privacy to do something that their most loyal servants would not approve of (Whatever that might be)
OR 2) A designated night for family members to try assassinating each other.
I can't think of much that both the Castle AND The Jaegers would object to the Heterodyne doing.

As far as we know, there's only one. Risking the ending of the Heterodyne line.

A petting zoo.
With fluffy bunny rabbits and little lambs.
Okay, it would be more the Castle is confused why the Heterodyne is doing this- the bunnies aren't carnivorous and the lambs don't even spit acid -and the Jägermonsters are pouting because they don't get to play with the cute pets.Last edited by Kantaki; 2020-12-23 at 04:05 PM.
