girl genius reread: volume 7
this time: mechanicsburg! coffee! gil’s zappy stick! and a lot of vanamonde, because i love him.
warnings for this one: child death. also, parental abuse – not for the volume itself necessarily, but because i got sidetracked into a rant halfway through about klaus’s parenting methods.
- increasingly ludicrous rumors about what happened in sturmhalten. naturally.
- a detail i’d previously missed: the von mekkhans have been running a bookshop as cover.
- i managed to forget arella von mekkhan’s first name for so long that i ended up mentally referring to her as ‘vanamom’ for a long time.
- arella: “and she beat klaus.” carson, looking legitimately surprised: “what–with a stick?”
- carson has decided to take a nap.
- agatha and wooster send the circus to england! which i had been reminded of with the current arc, so i hope we’ll see them soon!
- then they sneak into mechanicsburg dressed as a couple, a nun, and a child wrapped entirely in bandages (….krosp. it’s krosp)
- wooster’s grumpy that she won’t go to england. agatha is Forcefully Reminding Him of his situation
