I think this all may actually have a point in the story arc. Disconnecting the etheric form from the body insulates the body from harm. If Annie can learn how to do that, she can go converse with Jeanne without the risk of stabbity-stabbity.

Which leaves us with question:

What happens to realworld form if ethereal form dies?

This. And didn't they just yank away Annie from her physical body? Or maybe that has to be done every time. We'll see.

eddindum: Also there's that part where this is probably just an illusion of sorts, and not a "real" monster. Jeanne is a real ghost, so it might be different.

That scratch on her face in etheric form is from Jeanne is it not.... ?  It does not show on her normal body...
*Implies that Annie could still be rendered... just not in the normal way.*

Yeah, trying to talk to jeanne like that would be a bad idea. You all saw what happened the last time.


THREAD DERAIL TIME: I think it's awesome how Tom likes Adventure Time. His tumblr is full of Adventure Time fanart.

Huh. I sort of expected that to happen, with how Red was behaving. I wonder if the same applies to Anne, though? At least when she is attached to her body, you'd think that there would be some bad effects to being brutally assaulted in the ether?

I think Annie is just playing along. I could be wrong though.

So it's an illusion and Annie is either playing along or seriously slow.

Or, and notice the glow around her, she isn't quite herself at the moment. Those last couple panels make me feel like its not really "her" that's saying it for some reason.

Or maybe she's just going loony.

Well, they did detach her from her body...

I also noted that this seems highly out of character for her.

Hang on...
Looking at it again, I noticed Red says "she's makin' you do this" (emphasis not mine).  Mind control?  Suggestion?  Or is Red just saying that for some other reason?
