Quick Q, what's with "Dammit" in one panel, and "damn it" in another?

[DarkIntruder]

Panel 4 - This makes me wonder just what kind of "enhanced interrogation" methods do Elves have available?

What else but the DREADED HONEYED PUNISHMENT VIRGINS.

Alas, it was all in Jon's head.


I bet a lot of people would be willing to donate a bit of cash to actually see that, if in fact the Honeyed Punishment Virgins were used in Meji's interrogation.

Is it bad that I don't understand why a face I don't recognize whispers "Dammit Sarine, you didn't..."?

I think I just may have to go back from the start and actually *remember* what's going on this time.

Most of us are guessing it's Sarine's Mom, whom Sarine refers to as her "relative".

General consensus seems to be that that's Sarine's mother. Although she's only specifically said that one or more of her "relations" are at this meeting, it seems unlikely to me to be someone else, as the foreshadowing has been nudging us in the direction of Sarine's Mom (of DOOOM) for a while.

I don't know why, but it seems somehow appropriate that Sarine's mom looks younger than Sarine.

So Sarine turned states evidence and Barin got picked up when he showed up, I think. Since as we've noticed, Sara got her dolon back- it has to be that, she had to have hung around to reclaim it.

Which is definately an OMG. That's not burning a bridge, that's finding out the other guy's channel frequency and calling in the air strike, volunteering your services as Forward Observer.

Poe-tic license.

I was thinking the same thing. One almost begins to wonder if the elves really are immortal. Does going out and doing stuff in the non-magical outside world eventually wear them down?

[Talancir]

Poor, poor Peregin Barin... a political prisoner all because the Elves want to detain the councilman's granddaughter.

PS: The odds that the guard Jon shot still being alive are now looking better.

Why did his living odds improve? You would think they'd have mentioned he was a captive too, unless A) T-ville decided not to mention it (I suppose as a bargaining chip if things get rough) or B) T-ville decided not to mention he's dead, because that would be upsetting. With all the current chaos, who's gonna miss him right away?

Because, if he had died then Jon would not have made it out of Tsuirakushiti that fast. Tsuiraku would not have mentioned him because he is not an officer, counting him with Barin.

Or it may be that, in addition to the official government holding their official prisoner, the Hinadori clan also has their own private personal prisoner that, while not as valuable as the official one, will still be useful.
