Red: how dare you tell us to leave! Also if Ayilu gets hurt I'm LEAVING

Red's documented Schmendrick Quotient is also, obviously, waaaaay Over 9000

Legendary fumble, lol

A true romantic, that one.

I will never understand fairies.

It would be TERRIBLE to see anything else happen to Ayilu. Completely understandable.

Almost

Chaotic neutrals gonna chaotic neutral.

Thanks for doing the AMA yesterday, Tom! I really enjoyed it (and learned a few things, too!). As for this page - I have no idea how they’re going to get out of this one!

The "parallel" World or whatever must have turned into a wasteland ... Would be interesting if anyone made it from there to kick the hypocryts Jenny's and Rosa's butts (Jippieh, revenge!)

Every time I get scared, Red does something to remind me that, it's OK, I'm reading Gunnerkrigg Court

Glad to see Red's gotten past her hyper-vigilance of Ayilu, maybe she can get a good night's sleep. • Red's learned since her last caper with Annie that nothing's worth losing your life and peace of mind, not even your beloved. Look at how many problems started because people couldn't give up on love: Diego and Young couldn't get over Jeanne, Jeanne's boyfriend was murdered by her jealous crush/ex, Smitty almost died because Jeanne sensed how important he was to Parley and vise-versa...

Ok gang, we need a plan. Plan A: Parley, Cvet, hit her from opposite directions at once. She seems to need to look at something to use her power on it. Also, Parley, see if you can do a short range teleport, behind her. Plan B: Kat - Loup Cage. See if that can contain her power. Plan C: AYlu, see if your illusions will work on her. She may freak if she's confronted with something not affected by her power. Let's see what Tom comes up with. It'll probably be "none of the above"...

ALL means ALL!

Well, if Ayilu's in danger, the smart thing *would* be to get away from her. It's dangerous to stick around danger.

True love

Why don't we try throwing Red at Noa? She can't absorb someone so self-absorbed!

Ayilu makes the best expressions

"The last thing I want to see is my friend get hurt, which is why I want to leave before she inevitably gets hurt."

Tom, thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions. I hope it was enjoyable for you.

Okay, well that’s BS “we don’t want you coming into this area but we also won’t let you leave”

Where did she get those clothes?

You know what, boundaries are important. It’s been years since Red and Ayilu have interacted with Annie, and they barely know Kat and the rest of these guys. It’s already a pretty big leap in selflessness and maturity for them as fairies to want to help at all, and we love that for them. But despite their powers, at the end of the day they’re still civilians. So I’m with Red on this one, bail if things start going too south. (And personally I don’t think she’d actually be able to bring herself to leave Ayilu).

Hahahaha! Oh, I missed these guys so much.

Including Ayilu! Everyone’s equal!

On this page, I finally noticed Annie is wearing a necklace.

Nice... also, I am loving that medieval princess gown thing.

i love how Red's brain doesn't handle conflicting instructions like when she was mad at annie and didn't want her to get close to them, but it didn't conflict with "i'm your friend and care about you" and here "i care about blue and i'm not staying if she is in danger" doesn't conflict with the fact that blue is still here

A little cognitive dissonance….all out war to…..side chit chat? You know it’s the fairies that are going to get past Noa. Why else have they been brought along?

Whose idea was it to bring the psychotic fairy again? But wait, I'm betting that Blue will use her illusion powers to make Red into an unbeatable opponent who will keep Noa off balance and let the team knock her out. That's how this plays out in my head anyway, can't wait to see what really goes down.

Always with that last f*** in mouth moment

I'm sure that sounded better in his head.

That's our Red; She swings, and then a miss.

That's a fun look for Red, especially juxtaposed with Ayilu's.

Red is, at the very least, honest

Does not head what she is saying. n.b. thanks for the Reddit AMA it was informative and entertaining

Red this is NOT the time for yuri youre gonna friggin die

Red... Think about why you would ditch the group again. Think VERY carefully.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

With Red, you have to translate from what she said to what she means/intends and include the limits of how much of that she's figured out at the time. Red may be planning to be a hero, here...

Sorry Ayilu. Them's the breaks.

So, do fairies have an incomprehensible concept of friendship or is it JUST Red?

Is Ayilu a historic fashion fan now, after her research for Jeanne's illusion?? That's so cute! :D

Bruh.

WHAT. Red, that makes no sense.

Wait, did she change hands?

Sometimes I feel like Red. You might mean well, you experience intense emotions and try to express, but you don't say the "right" things. Ever. Or exhibit much social/ emotional intelligence. Poor Ayilu. Look at her expressions! Lol

LOL. Oh red.... Also Kat just looking so shocked in panel 2 there..

Red, you numbskull
