Rock and Roll? Really? That must be Noa and all her apps.

Vaguely polypedal, 100% Smokeshow

Yes, something is slightly wrong. Complexion, perhaps?

Wait, Parley is fighting one of the aliens from Hail Mary Project?!?

Noa seems vaguely polypedal

Oh, this is the girl Zara didn't recognize as Noa on Page 3255. Assuming she did see her among the people going into the school.

Nice! Reminds me of Daniel Mroz’s drawings for The Cyberiad.

speachless :O

Noa has changed since we last saw her, is she wearing her hair different?

We all have days like that

Is... is that Noa? Huh, I wasn't really sure what I was expecting.

One of these things is SO not like the others! ….. Also I thought Noa’s true form only had two arms, but it looks like maybe 3 but most likely 4 if I’m seeing this right

Vaguely polypedal.

"At least two arms and two legs" and literally rock-hard abs! Which Steven Universe character is she/are these? Is each "rock" a glyph? • Annie's allies are racking up uniform violations and now her "enemy" is just plain indecent! At least get poor Noa a poncho or something!

Hey quick question! what in the hell is that? :)

I hope Coyote has literally anything to say about this.

Okay, everybody roll for SAN, no exceptions.

yeah give Parley her rocks back!

Whoever she is, she's off to a rocky start.

Remember Rover in "The Prisoner"? Meet Zimmy's equivalent. The Body must be protected.

Hey! She's not wearing the proper uniform! What kind of undisciplined school is this?

Is that Eglamore?

??? How much of this is diegetic? Do they see her as a normal girl or think thats normal?

.... THAT'S A GIRL??????

I dunno, I think she rocks

Noa, what have you done to yourself. A walking talking library, yeah. Polypedal, yeah. Angry? Hard to say. I assume there's a human body still underneath all the stones, in the centre. Or she can get it back somehow. In Zimmyland anything is possible.

What I want to know is, where’s the support team? What happened to the Donland, Elgamore, Tony? Where are Jones and Smitty? I hope they’re okay!

You can clearly see what's not right. She's not wearing the uniform!

Well … she did get a new body …

Fractured. The rune animating her "golem" body (not rocks, but her corpse, effectively) breaking apart, due to the transition into Zimmy's Inner World, or due to some other effect? Either way, I get why she got such a long flashback. She'll be gone soon.

i guess it fits, her body is just a construct in real life too, here it's just a bit more literal

What the hell?

Wow, Noa looks like the meme "the stinger is pulsating"...

...o.o! Bwahaha! Oh, man, I shouldn't laugh. Nobody wants this to happen to their avatar. A four-armed, three-legged amalgamation of rocks that people believe are magic is the perfect representation for what Noa's become. The symbol should still exist, though, but I'm not seeing it here. If I had to guess, they're not actually walking around in a school. They're all just standing still near Zimmy and Jerrik. Like what happened on the rooftops. Noa's mind is probably stuck in that ring and this golem is just running off of the last instructions. Kat is also, probably, just standing around with everyone, wondering what's happening.

That is indeed one "odd girl" (even compared with plushy-fox-boy) but hard as rocks, as they say. Can barely hold herself together, poor kid: with none of the bits in panel 2 readily identifiable in panel 4, she's a sandy-shaded kaleidoscopic geomorph.

Omg, Noa! Did you get a haircut or something?

Oh hey I loved her role in Project Hail Mary

Did she change her hairstyle?

....huh.

lol, wut? ... right, yeah, I guess that makes sense. She's effectively a corpse golem built on top of her own body, so here in the distortion, we can see that more clearly.

vaguely wtf?!

Noa is looking perhaps a bit like Jones?

Huh. She's rocks. Colorful rocks

It's Noa, i guess. And all her glyphs have become a heavy burden. But maybe she did "earn it"

Not sure what i was expecting, but that is not it.

Interesting.

How are those rocks staying together???

uhhh……noa??

we do not body shame but we do body ask why

Despite distractions, Coyote is clearly observing for her sister what Annie and Rey are doing (Page 3252).

AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Noa! Hey, did she get her hair cut?

okay, that's REALLY cool. i know the transformation process was painful, but dang, what a sweet form to get transformed into

She is fighting geometry dash itself in it's final form

I don't know what I expected but I didn't expect that.

Is that what golem witches new body looks like? wow I thought it'd at least look like a misshapen human like some real body horror stuff

picking a Dress for Prom Night is such a Nightmare ughhh

Rocky Balboa

Curiosity piqued!

this whole chapter is just cosplay bait

Maybe each object in the cluster is a different glyph that makes up Noa?

Story? Me, I'm content to just come along for the ride and enjoy the artwork, secure in the knowledge that someday it will All Make Sense to me.

She's not wearing her glasses

They're so stoned.

Is this what it looks like to "Earn It?"

"Diamond Girl" (and emerald and amethyst and ruby and sapphire...)

Is this the cool new rock group we've head about?

And look at all the NPCs watching! Autonomous agents in Zimmy's simulation.

Hello from the elemental plane of Earth!

WTF lol. I don't think anyone was expecting this

The first Knack-like student

sometimes girl is rocks!!!

Whoa

WHY IS NOAH SO GROSS!!!

Yeah ok, I guess she is a little odd.

"The weird girl."

Goodness, ain't that low-key off putting. That outfit does not match with her colors!

I wonder if they'll think this is weird...

Kat out here somewhere wondering why everybody looks dopey-eyed sitting down cause ain’t no way she sees this too. And the idea that Noa is broken in any every way possible and this is how it’s seen is pretty sad. But she did it to herself and Jenny weaponized that.

Sylvie was right

Dang girl pull yourself together

Jeezuss, here's the hammer drop

what is she fighting

Uhh… Zimmy didn’t notice the abomination enter her bubble?

Ysengrinn: Your uniform is missing, Noa! And you weren't on your previous detention, were you! And why are you not answering me?

i just realized that reynardine is the only one not in a uniform? also noa turned into garganacl

Chapter 5: One Strange Girl

Rocks and stones, therefore she's an Eridian. Wait, did I hear a rock and stone?

Is this Noa's representation of her new invincible body? I'm a bit confused right now.

Wait a minute... that guy has a fox head!

i loved project hail mary

I really like how that one big green stone (?) gives the impression of a head without exactly being a distinct "head on a neck" shape. I think that's real cool!

ohhh that was the multi limbed creature the fairies saw

Um… is that Noa? I think that it’s sad that Annie and the others didn’t get their memories back. Also, where is Kat?

She should be suspended! She's not even in uniform!!!

can't quite put my finger on it...

This is not what I expected when they called her "odd" ????

“Noa likely doesn’t even know who she is” yeah that seems like it’s the case

Something is *slightly* off. Can’t put my finger on it.

This character...rocks. s;ns

Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! (with a tip o the hat to Galaxy Quest)

Whose that pokemon?!

What did Noa actually do to herself??

Oh no, she's hot.

There was an X-files where Mulder confronts a trash golem and destroys it by saying out loud "you are not real." I wonder if similar will work here.

Even Zimmy couldn't make this chick normal lmao.
