Comic 771: Search Your Feelings

 In the face of very probable death, Sharon can at least console herself with classic movie quotes...


Her references go largely unappreciated in the Exile Realm, alas, so mostly she's just entertaining herself here.

So just to be clear, when Awilix and other folks in the Exile Realm are referring to "Brouchard," they're probably thinking of Bertrand Brouchard, who is Bella's twin brother. We have not met him in person, but we've seen his fingerprints on a lot of evidence on this side of reality... along with those of Saxony's twin sister, Jinevra.

The fact that I have to clarify that in this blog means I've bungled it a bit in the comic itself... but there we are. The webcomic format is pretty much set up in such a way that everything you read is a first draft, which leads to some stuff that authors--or at least this author--would have liked to smooth out if given a second pass.

Is Sharon laughing in panels 1 & 2?
Speculation: Sharon's asking about the possibility of Awilix generating wind favorable to their team (although that's perilously close to "affecting the players") and/or raising a ruckus that would demand the attention of the monarch of Xibalba, taking 7-Macaw out of the game.
As a side note, it'll be interesting when Gail finds out about Sharon's promise to Thor, and when Sharon finds out about Grogan and Stella's shared hopes for Gail.

Not even ancient death gods are immune to star wars quotes, it seems.
Wonder if our heroine should call her sister, the sports expert, for some potential tips.

If Thrud uses the hammer off the field, she could call lightning and use it to power Sharon up. Don't know if that would be enough to tip the scales though.

Another possibility is that Sharon took the Aegis from the dragon's hoard. A weapon can't be brought on the court, but it could be put in a place where the opposing team would likely see it and get turned to stone.
