A later instance where we see Betty commenting on how hot she finds a passing girl, she regrets doing so aloud because of Archie's excited response. Here she wants to share the excitement with Archie. Complicated mix, she is either moving into or out of constantly putting dark sunglasses on him or otherwise blocking his vision from the girls. I am not sure how to arrange the continuity -- which panel happened first -- is Betty moving toward sharing the ogling ("male gaze") or moving to guarding this for herself?

Jae Heydari from Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader

"Jae Heydari, a precious jewel of Footfall, a link in the glittering gold chain that is the Kasballica Mission among Cold Traders, a woman of countless talents and myriad mysteries, is truly the cream of the scum of the Koronus Expanse. A seasoned dealmaker and adept mediator of commerce with the enemies of Humanity, Jae has earned the great respect of many in the Footfall underworld and incurred the much, much greater hatred of her less successful rivals. Jae will not pass up any opportunity to curb the evil tongues of her enemies and keep their long knives at bay. And a Rogue Trader’s influence is her most coveted weapon – for who would dare go against the business partner of one who holds a Warrant of Trade, the gracious one anointed by the Emperor, and sent Jae Heydari’s way by providence itself? Jae is all about being where she needs to be and when she needs to be, both in life and in combat."

You keep your enormous BICYCLOPS chained to the roof of your COMMUNAL HIVE STEM. It is the only place there is room for him.

We’re finally starting to get meteors. Pick up the pace, kids!

The bicyclops is another ‘mythical creature’ lusus - and a pretty rare one too, judging by the fact that none of these other apartments have custodians that don’t fit in their houses. Maybe this guy has trouble coordinating his two heads, leading Sollux to conclude that he’s an ‘idiot’. 

Sollux lives in a pretty crowded neighborhood, and his place doesn’t even have enough room for his assigned guardian. This guy definitely ain’t a blueblood. 

AA - or, more accurately, her Voices - don’t want Sollux to Enter just yet, so they need to distract him.

Sollux is a powerful psychic, so maybe he’d just be too effective as a Player. The Voices want the troll session to fail, after all. 

You are now one of the five other girls.

YES!

A fucking chainsawkind wielder? I expected nothing less from GA.

Virgo’s lusus is... an insect? I was wondering what animal could represent a ‘maiden’, and I don’t really see the connection yet. 

It’s notable, I think, that this lusus has the same horns as GA. Sollux’s lusus matches his red-blue scheme, so I think lusi adopt trolls that resemble themselves. That, or trolls grow to mirror the traits of their lusus. 

Just like Jade, GA lives in a dream bedroom. 

This tower is virtually identical to Jade’s, actually, which makes me think Grandpa didn’t build it. It’s probably another Sburb building, which every session spawns on its seed planet. 

And there’s the second Temple. 

I have a theory about these two Temples, actually. I’ve speculated that Alternia was Exile-seeded, so maybe one of these Temples is from a previous session, which destroyed the previous civilization on this planet.

Anyway, GA is living in a dream bedroom next to a Frog Temple, and I think I even see the top of a volcano. This girl’s Title may as well be the Jade of Harley.
