All in one night, folks! Just call me Santa Claus!

Ahem. Anyway, reconciliation! Kinda. Patching up trust that badly shaken is hard, even when you're vindicated. Doubt is a powerful thing.

Also, Aife! ...Who anyone who's seen my illustration of her already knows! And Artoria, who...is a canon Servant. Yeah. A couple of new faces among the crowd of Taylor's on-screen Installs. Although, having said so, they didn't get to do much, did they? That's too bad.

Next weekend will be Interlude 4.a, which I...don't have a name for, yet.

Have you figured out the real reason why this arc is called "Collateral," yet?

Well, that's smart. Indeed, Geass is useful in that aspect.

I thought the Geass worked by imposing penalties if you break them, like taking away your powers, rather than actually making breaking them impossible. What's stopping Bakuda from telling her secrets anyways and accepting the price?

Reinhold Wuerzner

It depend on the geas to be honest. I've read about some that are behavioral compulsions.

Nothing, really. However, this is a much more powerful geis than the one that binds Lisa, with consequences direr and, I imagine, with a much less gentle way of warning Bakuda she's about to break it. Now, it's just a question of whether or not Bakuda is willing to die, if it means a chance at revenge on Taylor.

I'm surprised that Taylor used Aife to cast the geis, instead of her sister Scathach. After all, the whole reason Scathach became the queen of Dun Scaith instead of Aife, was because of her greater skill at magecraft.

The Throne exists outside time and space. In one parallel world Scathach is dead because Solomon incinerated human history. He nuked the land of shadow too, marking the end of the world. That's the reason she "died" and entered the throne. So Scathach should be available to Taylor.

Aria Raney

You know, as smart a move the gies might have been in a vacuum, I can't help but feel that there's going to be some serious repercussions for permanently mastering a defeated villain in full view of the protectorate.

Oh, definitely - even if Bakuda blabs and brings misfortune on herself, proving that Taylor's binding doesn't necessarily stop someone from doing what she forbids, the fact that it does something at all will probably be used against her, later.
