Oh. Dang. Huh.

Everyone is handling this well I see

The other witches line up before Sylvie's seat: "Get ahold of yourself!" *slap* *shake* "Get it together!" *shake* *clonk with Orb* "Let me try" *slap* "You need to calm down!" *shake* *shake* *slap* *slap* *backhand*

They're coven apart at the seams...

It was I who made the mistake by assuming Sylvie was more bothered about someone else than her own obsessions. With the possible exception of Rosa, the coven do all seem rather self-absorbed.

Seems the witches might be breaking. Perhaps the spiders are spreading too.

Maybe she is not entirely wrong, though?

But Jack, you were like this as soon as you figured out about Zimmy’s big secret. Here you are not giving a shit that your girlfriend nearly threw up. Not giving a shit that Rosa just asked for you to help with the orb. Not giving a shit that Noa is missing. Now not giving a shit that Sylvie is freaking out, only that she’s maybe aware of Zimmy’s etheric influence.

Sylvie’s “work” mostly has to do with “constructs”, right? Maybe? Maybe what Zimmy’s constructed affects her due to something she’s already attuned to.

Tom is doing an exceptional job at making me care about the wellbeing of some characters that are morally questionable at best (though I guess we haven't really seen Sylvie do anything bad yet, that I can remember) (also emphasis on "some", Jenny can kick rocks)

You know, Sylvie, these friends of yours really aren’t all that nice to you.

Hmm. Feeling some discomfort? Noa will be the Lucky One.

Sylvie is the only witch Jack is acknowledging, and she's going nuts from Zimmy being in the air everywhere. Interesting. Again Jenny makes dark hints that Sylvie is dangerous. How so?

I mean, if Sylvie did crash out it'd be a solution to the current stalemate.

She sees you when you're sleeping, She knows if you're awake, She knows if you've been bad or good so be good for Zimmy's sake!

She made a mistake. One in a long series of mistakes that led them to the here and now.

She was apparently fine with the murdering, so I have to wonder what she would consider a mistake.

omg a display of humanity !!

I'm guessing Sylvie and Jack are closer to the Ether, and therefore more susceptible to the effects of the Zimmyverse, than the others.

Mistakes were made, time for Jenny to get over herself and own up.

JENNY THAT WASN'T WEED

Ruh roh. The one whose work "should remain a theory" is losing her mind. Not a good sign at all.

Oof, that side-eye from Jack. Dunno if she wants Jack getting a hold of himself, given how long she's had a hold on him. Damn, now I want to see Sylvie and Jack go rogue. The plan has failed, time to self-report to Zetagod. Just, completely fracture the group along loyalties and motivations.

And now we have a hint of internal dissent in the Coven and... perhaps a redemptive awaiting a rescue?

Verrry interesting...I can understand why Murderous Jack might react to being in the middle of Zimmingham, but Sylvie? Was it her mistake to enter Zimmingham, or was it something else?

How much does Jenny even need Jack any more? Is he dispensible?

Wow. It's almost like maybe Annie and the gang were *RIGHT*.

what a functional group, definitely not exceeding their grasp or anything

Maybe Sylvie should just leave if that's the case. That said I understand Jenny's anger, two people of the group are in a horrible condition and more of a burden than anything. Jack is perfectly fine with being a murderer at the same time, it seems. Just, you know, some Zimmy pressure is all. Also interesting how all the witches wear small orange earrings. Communication devices or something else?

she made a mistake

Hopefully it'll press very hard on Jenny.

Not coming across like the caring girlfriend anymore.

The "LAST" person, eh? Interesting...

Zim Zim Zim Zim Zim Zim :( Zim

Sorry ms project lead, but some problems can't be solved by yelling at the underlings.

A panicking witch/eldritch theoretical monstrosity should not look so cute.

Methinks someone's about to bail ... Or try to.

Well, at least someone gets it! Now if only their fearless leader would listen.

Huh interesting! Doubly curious!

Meddle not with forces beyond your ken, young fools! You'll never find your own power, looking in someone else's hands.

Not helping, Jack.

Panel 5 is begging me to meme it with different text in the text boxes

She made a mistake

That's what you get.

what a nice friend you are jenny

Zimmy causes them to despair and depress, similar to but not the same as what Girvarti does in webcomic Sombulus in Chapter 11 on Page 99.

I wonder why it's just those two, Jack makes sense but I don't think Sylvie has any more connection to Zimmy then anyone else in the coven. Maybe this'll reveal her backstory

the situation is highly normal

.......And what happens if she does lose control here?....
