Introductions all around ...

...Waitaminit...

[themadkansan]

Something's fishy here - Tarvek and TinyKestle have met before, in Paris!

...o!O...

(..."General", eh? :)

Tarvek and the Castlebot met in Paris alright. Tarvek even introduced himself.

I suspect this slip in continuity was to give Higgs the punch line for this page.

[turbobeholder]

Hmm, yes.

Oddly enough, this is the second thing that happened in Paris that has been forgotten. First was that Agatha was told that they only had about 2 years to free Mechanichsburg from the time field, and now this.

As Al Capone said "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action."

If anyone is going to be at Capricon in Chicago this weekend, please ask Phil.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

...I can plausibly see the double-up on telling Agatha about Mechanicsburg, since Higgs may not have been aware that Jenka had already passed her the info at that point.

They're gonna hafta work to explain Tarvek and TinyKestle, though... >:)

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[murgatroyd666]

The mini-Kestle probably has forgotten the incident. A bot that small doesn't have much room for memory storage. And I suspect Europa's hard drive technology isn't as advanced as ours, even though they do have the edge in death ray technology.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[therru]

Yes... but that doesn't explain Tarvek's apparent amnesia of the occurrence.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[murgatroyd666]

He's had a lot on his mind. I myself have forgotten previous introductions, even without the distractions of people trying to kill me.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[therru]

Yes, but you're not a Spark. :)

...I assume. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[turk187]

Mini castle has enough memory to hold an apparently sentient intelligence, but not enough to remember meeting someone less than a month ago? (Remember, Krosp left just before Paris and Agatha said its been less than 3 weeks since then.)

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[turk187]

That doesn't explain Agatha acting like this was news to her.

I'm hoping that by the time the book gets published this will be fixed.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[spectrum_09]

Jenka was reporting second hand information. Higgs was a eye witness with the full details, confirming Jenka's story.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[jbwoodford]

Kaja was stressing about that at their reading Thursday night at Capricon.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[turk187]

Tell us more. Really, please tell us more.

Re: ...Waitaminit...

[jbwoodford]

She didn't give a lot of details, since the strip hadn't officially posted yet.

The reading consisted of two sections from the next novelization--Phil read the ringing of the Doom Bell, and Kaja read the Castle exploration of the seraglio, the fight with the nepenthe plant, and the beginning of the fight between Higgs and Zola.

There was time for Q&A afterwards, but nothing particularly juicy came up--just some minor stuff about Violetta's fate.

ETA: The radio play Friday night was a hoot, though.

[madfilkentist]

"General." Now the feline (and I don't mean Krosp) has truly escaped the sack.

[occams_pyramid]

Did Krosp previously know that Higgs is a Jaeger General?

[deckardcanine]

This demands to be seen in color. Remind me to look again later.

Is the Tortoise slow but durable?

I like the Captain Haddock shout-out.

[bunsen_h]

I haven't looked at Tintin in many years. Would you please explain?

[deckardcanine]

"Thundering typhoons" was one of the captain's signature exclamations.

[deckardcanine]

My bad. I had looked through the Sneaky Gate.

[spectrum_09]

It would have been better if you replied on the correct thread.
