Re: The 2nd Girl Genius Thread
I don't know that the repair teams did much improving on what was already there, but maybe the Castle had some ideas. Things the Heterodyne Brothers would never do for it.

Re: The 2nd Girl Genius Thread
I'm feeling positively giddy at the thought of seeing a fully operational, improved Castle... Am I a bad person?

I'm sort of expecting the entire city to get up as a giant clank now with the castle as its head, that would be an awsome double page spread for christmas.

I'm with LaCroix, I just wanna see what it does with all that POWER. I am filled with Sparky Glee at this thought.

Re: The 2nd Girl Genius Thread
It's been four years and nine months since Agatha arrived in Mechanicsburg. How long has it been in-story?

Re: The 2nd Girl Genius Thread
I think it's been maybe two days.
Siccing clanks on Agatha was never going to work out. Funny how Gil is suddenly the bad guy at the same time Tarvek is making himself useful.

Nope, two down in less than 5 seconds, and the third clank is looking confused. This round goes to Agatha.

One day to enter the castle, an unknown amount of time spent within the castle, and then this battle, which seems to be going on about a day, already.Ahriman238 wrote:I think it's been maybe two days.
Two days are the baseline, I agree.

On the other mechanical hand, he just tried using three mad contraptions and failed, so he fell back on force, which has the benefit of always working. If brute force doesn''t solve your problem, you didn't use enough.

Re: The 2nd Girl Genius Thread
Except that works against him too. If Agatha can't defend herself with her contraptions then she could use force too. Stomp on Gil's foot and then whack him with her lightning rod.PhilosopherOfSorts wrote:LaCroix wrote:FOUL!
