Chapter 101: Page 8Cameo by Red Hot Nickel Ball.-------------Hey! Did you know there is a Gunnerkrigg subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/gunnerkrigg/comments/1pk3ic3/comment/nthzm6r/)? I'll be doing an AMA there on January 18th at 11 AM EST! That's plenty of time to think of questions you might have.https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/
>>151753468What a lovable psychopath!
>>151753468>That hand at the end>Haha oopsie woopsieDear fucking christ Noa you're kind of a freak huh. I dig it.>New captchaI don't dig it
>>151753468Still magin', but this time it's weird
>>151753468jesus christ how horrifying
what the fuck that Whitch is EVIL
>>151753586NOOOOOOO!You think?The witch that's conspiring to murder Kat? The one that's already an accomplice in murdering Omega?She's not evil, just misunderstood!
Least psychopathic Englishman
>Noa failed that class, and then came back for hellish revenge
the old bitch probably gave her an A for this.
BURN THAT WITCH!!... Oh, wait.
>>151753493>New captcha>I don't dig itwhy? it's infinitely easier
RAW versus RAI. It surely didn't boil the water in HER blood.
>>151753700>It surely didn't boil the water in HER blood.That would actually make things worse. The Ledenfrost effect protects biological tissue from extreme heat. Grabbing a red-hot metal ball like that would cause a bad burn in real life, but it wouldn't just drop through the hand like that. It would need to boil away the water in the flesh first, which takes time.
>>151753700I'd fault Noa for hard coding herself into her runes, but then again, that's kinda what runes are to begin with, isn't it. Different witch needs different runes. Noa's going TRADITIONAL, Just like Jenny!
>>151753735Trad Noa when?
>>151753484>tee hee sorry i charred your hand beyond recognitionwhat the hell is with these psychotic witches?
>>151753781Iunno, but it's kinda hot.
>>151753802Kinda?
>>151753468>how could you give me the spicy keychain?>haha! guess it's not perfect!
>>151753727>to boil away the water in the flesh first, which takes time.not really, water can flash to steam and create explosions instantly, that's how most volcanic explosion occurs.
I'm sure there's some Witch homework involving some goat and chicken blood and a full night of naked dancing under the red moon that can fix her hand.
>>151753468Ah I see the issue. She only made it so it doesn't heat the water in HER hand.
>>151753904If someone made me dance naked for a whole night I'd be severely miffed.
She looks like she could have been Annie's friend just fine.
How old is that flashback? 2-3 years ago? 4 at most?
>>151753468New psychotic waifu unlocked.
>>151753468Jesus fucking Christ!
>>151753636He means she was evil early.
>>151753468Same energy as Sting Cheese
>>151753636>The witch that's conspiring to murder Kat?Only because the results of Kat's work with robotic limbs undermines Noa's hand burning research.
>>151753468
>>151754033They'd probably be best friends if they got talking. Kat "Haha yeah I locked myself out of my body" Donlan isn't that far off her brand of insanity, and they're both hyperfocused on different things.
>>151753468Three men, a bar-tender and two customers are in a lounge bar in a tower, when one of them say:"Sorry, it's a bit too hot here."He goes outside and jump above the railing.But 30 seconds later, he just pop up back from the other side of the bar."Aaaah, that felt great. An other one, Chief!"The guy sitting next to him, flabbergasted:-How... How did you do that? How aren't you dead?-Don't you know? There are some powerful counter-winds circulating all around this tower and when you jump from the patio here, you just end up being pushed back on the other side.-Re... Really?-Man, you just saw it.-You... You think I can try?-Sure, work for everybody.So the second guy go to the railing, and after a moment of hesitation, jump over it...And splat on the ground.The bar tender then says to the fist guy.-You are a really mean-drunk, Superman.
>>151753468How hot was this ball even? Her hand was in a perfect condition to immediately drop it, but it went right through it before she could even do that. How hot can it be to be able to act so fast?
>>151754122>>151753727Ooooh. I get what happened, now. The ball didn't boil the water in her hand, but was able to burn through everything else.don't know why it didn't affect Noa's hand at all, though.
looks like runes works like AI prompts, infinite description about an idea and it fucks up everything that isn't entierely described which becomes impossible when you want more than the basics.
>>151754157anon that's not ai that's just basic strict instructionyou have ai brainrot
Soo.. what's the point of all this again? The witches have witch class where they teach children to maim each other with few rules or restrictions so they can.. get to le ocean where there's no ether?Tom? Your story? Narrative consistency? Are you going anywhere with this? Are you just churning out pages like a "surprise me" AI prompt?
>>151754216It's a descriptive language, it's literally a prompt.
>>151754157kindly fuck offthe idea of magic being wrought by language and rules is literally the oldest idea in mankindit not only makes up the creation story of the bible, it predates itturn off the aislop and study the logos sometime
>>151754310It's a story. We see where it goes when it's done. You zoomers and your add tic tok brain rot I swear
>>151753468Noa yout rat! You weren't using the glyphs to bake cookies!
>>151754335It's a bad, directionless, poorly written story.
>>151754345he says while the story is not finished.
>>151753468Maybe I've watched one too many nickel melts through X videos but her hand shouldn't have disnegrated , it should have just have a nasty brand on it since she only held it for a couple of seconds. It it was hot enough to destroyher hand it would have annilated that glass of waterhttps://youtube.com/shorts/99-2v5GMIY0?si=qVfYU80kHY7iYkIh
>>151754331You sound mad at a logical comparison. Not sure why you believe your imbecility give you power on others, retard
>>151754384>It's a plate of shit.>SO WHAT?? YOU DIDN'T FINISH IT YET. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO OFFER AN OPINION UNTIL YOU EAT EVERY LAST BITE OF SHITShit is not going to transform into steak on the plate. You have profound mental retardation.
>>151754395you make no sense. Are you using AI to sound mad?
>>151754393>you sound madI'm disappointed in your ignorance and lack of enducation that you would make such a careless, blase, inexperienced remark. "You sound mad" is ego-driven rhetoric because you did not like the fact that this was pointed out. It doesn't automatically award you points in some arbitrary zero-sum shitpost game. You should really read a book, then you could make more interesting observations and have more fulfilling conversations with other people.
>>151754400>yOu sOuNd mAdWhy do you even waste time postingThere's no surer way to guarantee you have nothing of value to contribute
>>151754317She's not going "magic rune show me heated water in cup" jackass; coding is the more apt comparison. Using logic conditions to X for Y but being punished if any conflicts or loopholes strike. That's entirely different than getting black Simpsons or DD cup Zeldas
>>151754395>>It's a plate of shit.You are taking the thesis as an hypothesis, anon. You are not making a point.
>>151753468Why are we getting a backstop for this pointless character? Why is there a quirky evil witches squad? All of them could have been cut and just rolled into Jack's blonde girlfriend who has been established earlier.What's the point of adding villains at near the end who are just supposed to be defeated quickly anyway.
>>151754310>the point of all thisTo tell a story. If it's engaging you suck with it, if it's not to your taste you piss off.>The witches have witch class where they teach children to maim each other with few rules or restrictions so they can.. get to le ocean where there's no ether?Oh okay so you're just illiterate, I'll give you some free spoons. Witch class is to learn to use runes, the court is interested in technology and magic and has different departments to handle both and even their overlaps. This particular student is interested in getting into the Why and How rather than just copying what's known, and is thusly going so far with it. Not every act is in service of the ocean, hell this particular plotline isn't in service of the ocean. We're getting to know a character and in doing so getting a nice new peek into this world.>Your story?Has more than a single tale to tell. Stop reading after chapter 1 if that makes things too complex.
>>151754408>Why do you even waste time postingthe irony.
>>151754395Better food metaphor for you>What the fuck this is disgusting>Well yeah it's raw chicken, you're meant to let it finish cooking, and season it. Maybe serve it with sides>No that's stupid horseshit why would wait and see where a dish this bad goes, enjoy your slop!!!
>>151754446My hope is that this might tie into Anja somehow and it's important to know how runes work for later
>>151754033I support this interpretation that Noa just hates hands.
>>151754064At least so far the Donlan freak is only reckless when it comes to her own safety, not others.
Kill Kat already!
>>151754775she killed Zimmy though
>>151753468Okay. So far, getting the impression that all the witches are psychos. Cool.
GUNNERSHIT FAIL
>>151755452They tried, but Jack is a fucking loser and can't throw a punch worth shit.
What's Zara's creepy villain backstory?
>>151756180>Everything would've gone according to plan if anyone asked Jack "have you ever actually been in a fight before?"It's like Chekhov's gun handed to someone with no aim. At least his failure means our Noa.
>>151756194She's a black widow.
>>151757059Hot.
Wasn't ever expecting to see guro in Gunnerkrigg, bravo for surprising me, Tom.
So this is the flash forward in the flash back in the flash forward?
>>151756145I think that is indeed the point, anon.
>>151753468>>151757437Seriously. That is third degree, easily. Home girl's hand is fucked. This level of violence is not new for GKC, but it is uncommon.
>>151753484Clearly foreshadowing how fire head girl will bring the fire.
>>151756194her ex made her watch madoka magica and left her for being a homura/sayaka shipper.
