Hurfworld? No - Erfworld!

Didn't we see him getting beheaded? Yeah, I think we did.

They might be carrying the body off so he doesn't get Raised by Wanda?

Seems to be the general consensus.

I liked the "Okay yeah, we're not having this conversation" bit.

[Ravashak]

Am I the only one that facepalmed at what just happened?
Use a giant flyer to squash something equals capture, wtf?

[Geminex]

Indeed. But it makes sense, sorta. The megalogwiff is made of marshmallow fluff, when it squashed Ansom he simply sank into it. He is now trapped by confectionery, just as Tramemnis was. Nothing too... illogical there. At least not by Erfworld standards.

...

The fact that the megalogwiff was capable of this at all seems a little strange, but we're heard nothing about their abilities, so for all we know, they do this all the time.

[EVILNess]

Hmm, yeah I guess he did get beheaded, I just mistook the black haired guy that looks JUST LIKE HIM for him.

Also, Jillian's belly capture was probably the best thing in Book 2 so far.

We saw regular gwiffs pin down/smush Duncan long enough for him to be turned earlier. It makes sense that the larger (gummier?) megalogwiffs would be able to simply carry their quarry off with them instead.

The m-gwiff with tears streaming down its face 'cause of all the arrows and pikes sticking out of it is adorably hilarious for reasons I can't explain.

Jack is quickly becoming my favorite Erfworld resident.

I'm just really tired of the story being focused on Jillian. She's a piss-poor Queen and Commander since she lets her own side get wrecked just because she has a crush on a dead guy. And judging by the last panel, you can't seem to turn people that have been brought back to life because, well, they're DEAD. So there's a good chance she's doing all this for nothing.

I really just want to see more Parson. I like Parson. His stuff is INTERESTING. Things HAPPEN.

Actually, I think I understand why we aren't seeing more Parson: he doesn't want us to. The end of book one pretty clearly emphasized that Parson isn't playing ball with the god-like force that's controlling the world and is, in fact, purposefully attempting to downplay his part.

As for Jillian, I agree, she's making a choad of "mistakes" and "bad choices". However, so did Parson. In fact, Parson's entire friggin' military was ready to abandon him because he made so many "mistakes" - mistakes that was, more or less, experimentation to learn the limits of what you can or cannot do. I think, in her own emotional non-reasoning way, that this is exactly what Jillian is doing. She wants Ansom back and so is playing around with the new rules - introduced by Parson - and is attempting to learn them. Really, she's doing what everyone in Erfworld should be doing, but she's doing it for the "wrong" reason - hers. Parson did it just to stay alive. Also, Jillian is, in many ways, like a child. She's never had responsibility for others, so she's still learning how to use it.

All that said, I find the character interplay rediculously fascinating. Each of the characters has, so far, displayed properties that I've, in parts, found admirable and aggrivating. Even Parson, in his insistance upon being pointlessly vulgar - just to break the power over him, but it's not a positive trait. Anyhoo, I like it - even the parts I don't 'like' - as it makes them real.

When I read this paragraph:

"What if dwagons could tunnel?" his Lord would posit. "What if ships could travel on land?" And soon, Jack would be projecting a model battle in which dirt-burrowing dwagons clawed like sea serpents at the hulls of great wheeled galleons on grassy plains. Or a simple scenario would play out predictably, and Lord Parson would say, "Okay, now let's give all two thousand of those infantry the ability to cast like Archons, and see what happens." Marvelous. Marvelous.

I couldn't help but reread the whole thing, only this time it was inexplicibly in Morgan Freeman's voice.

Also I like how Wanda is more skeeved out by Jack than anyone else would be by her.
