Title: 10/18/2008 [#156] Sire?
Post by: Madmann135 on October 18, 2009, 12:27:48 AM
In all the scenario's that Veled imagined she probably didn't see this one.
Jigsaw doesn't know common vampire terminology and therefore is in all likelihood an unwilling member of the race.  The fans know it but Veled should be figuring it out by now and it should be more common than not.
That or Jigsaw somehow read her incriminated thoughts.

still... Veled should not be surprised and I wanna know why.

She looked a little more murderous than surprised.

As for the first panel, does that mean that Daisy made up an entirely fictional confession?  That usually happens when you torture people, which aside from common decency, is why it is a bad idea.

The third panel, with the cryptic background writing in the speech bubble, has me wondering if Scout Ziligo was using an incantation to get the truth out of Jigsaw. Could her reaction in the fourth panel by shocked surprise that Jigsaw seemed completely immune to her efforts? What ever is going on, it made Scout Ziligo lose concentration enough to drop her tea.

I believe we've seen that font before.

I'm not sure that Veled isn't slightly pissed that it doesn't work. We shall have to wait and see...

Okay, please educate the ignorant; is it proper to refer to Jigsaw's current nemesis as "Scout Ziligo", "Veled", or both. I keep getting the feeling I really need to start at the beginning again and read a little more carefully to get caught up on the nuances of the comic.

Either. She's the same person, technically, according to the cast page.

Technically, she's currently acting as Scout Ziligo, though, I think, the lines are sometimes a little blurred.

Presumably the one who turned her into a vampire.  And since she doesn't seem to know quite when it happened, it's not something she can actually answer.

Though we don't actually know if Veled is surprised by her answer or that Jigsaw is unaffected to her voice.

Though if she's talking actually about her father instead of the person that made Jigsaw a vampire it might be more like Veled is looking for some payback.

Then again, Jigsaw has been hinted at being different by how Daisy says she died during the embrace. So I've been under the impression that Jigsaw might be a little bit more then just a simple vampire.

IIRC vampirism is only supposed to work on humans anyway, so there's already something weird going on with her.

Ah, ignorance, the bliss that is.

Also, Jig the writer?  You are a bad person, creating more questions than answers.
Is Jigsaw resistant, or is she just ignorant to vampire terms? 
Veled can now levitate things?  That puts her at how close to demi-god status?

...is that a heart in the center of that Last Resort design?
