I feel like there's a name, a label, for characters like Quigley, characters who we're told are huge badasses but who keep getting their asses handed to them every time we see them onscreen.

loling @ Quigloids who thought Duane wouldn't roflstomp their favorite slave trader

>Duane so mad that he's intentionally styling on Quigley in as insulting a manner as possible
lmao

>I'm curious if anyone can work out mechanically what's going on. Yeah, Quigley's dancing around an intangible double of himself while Duane tangles him in his cloak, but what'd Duane make the double out of? Look very closely at the double. What was Duane doing two pages ago?
Well user? Are you smart enough to figure it out?

reflection out of the window + perceptive glamor to make him think it's Duane?

I think it's literally just Quigley's reflection in the mirror that's being extended to an explicit glamour, and Duane is rendered invisible somehow.

We can see that Duane is there, in panel 5, but he must be doing something very clever if Mattey isn't able to see him with Chitz.

If a perceptive glamour was in play, we'd probably see it from Quigley's perspective first.

It suddenly occurs to me that Quigley probably brought Mattey along specifically because Chitz can see through glamours.

If you've got a better explanation for why Quigley would charge at and attack a big image of his own stupid self I'm all ears.

He hates himself.

I think it's easy for us to tell it's a mirrored reflection from the third person, but if that shit was right up in your face and you were expecting a fight anyway, you'd be too twitchy to realize it. At least until your blind kid told you it was wack.

He's after Duane and that is extremely obviously not Duane, in no small part because of how glowing and pymaric it is. Plus, after charging THROUGH the thing, he turns around and goes to attack it again.

His blind kid telling him it's wack is going to break the glamour for him on the next page, I think.

Jobbers

stop being mean to quigley he is trying his best

That only applies to perceptive glamors, literal glamors are essentially holograms and can't be wished away by knowledge

>and Duane is rendered invisible somehow.

>Woe to what is black in its shadow when it falls.

My guess is that it involves a combination of shadows and shoes somehow; it might just be how they're scattered around but it looks like a bunch of them are gone on the last page and the Mirror Quigley appeared when he mentioned heels.

Since Matty didn't see Duane, it seems most likely that's because he wasn't ever there. So Quigley wasn't wrapped up by an invisible Duane, he was spinning around on his own feet without realizing it and Duane is chilling out in a shadow behind something that Chitz can't see through.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, it's a perceptive glamour. It seems pretty unlikely to be a literal glamour unless Duane cooked up a super accurate Quigley model in his spare time, and then figured out a way to rig its movements to a reflection. And that still wouldn't explain why Quigley seemed so dead set on attacking the thing even after flying straight through it, because he'd just have been seeing an uncanny valley version of his own self, giant and green. Perceptive glamour would.

Everyone seems to be forgetting Quigley is garbage in an actual fight while Duane is a seasoned Battlewright.
This "fight" seems awfully tame considering the state Duane is in, part of me hopes he's just trying to goof with him and disable him without hurting Quigley.

>it seems most likely that's because he wasn't ever there
Yeah, I'd agree with you if it weren't for panel 5. Quigley is bumping into something unseen, and the panel is green, so I'm going out on a limb and guessing that Duane is cloaked in a way that renders him imperceptible to Matty.

Worfs.

I figure this is where the reflective properties are being snatched from.

Yeah it's obvious it's a reflection from the windows. Duane was just looking in them two pages ago. He's got Quigs barking at his own reflection like a dog.

Quigley isn't bad in a fight. He was gifted enough at pymary to get selected for additional training to become an agent for the Aldish Window. Most of the time the people Stung will be unconscious but they might wake up depending on how far away they are so Quigley would be expected to be pretty good. The Aldish government wouldn't send someone bad at it. Plus he's a Plat so he's got a few inherent advantages, it's just Duane is fucking OP.

It's smarter than that. Quigley is dancing with the reflection and wrapping himself up in his cloak which hidden Duane then freezes around him.

It is my wish that Quigley is allowed to fuck someone up before his inevitable death so he doesn't have to die a scrub.

I dunno that he's bumping into something, I think Duane's just throwing his usual chivalry in the trash and fucking with his cloak from off-panel.

You know, that may be it. Like others have said, it does look like his cloak is actually frozen in place. That makes a lot more sense.
