Yeah, don't forget this, where the robots were surprised she could even read it. She's at least set up to be outstanding at the mechanics.

Why is Blue so jealous? Because of the hair! Look at that hair, it simply is the best there is!

I think it's more of a Blue thinks that Red (and no once else) will no longer want to be her friend, due to Carver having the hair that goes up the most. Faeries are fickle beings.

I was thinking this morning, and Renard has never joined Annie when she's gone etheral with Jeanne right? I think having a wolf would be pretty useful in that situation, but I'm sure Annie has her reasons for not taking Renard with her.

Well, Renard's true form is a fox, not a wolf. But no, he's never gone down there with her.

Pretty sure he can't go far from his body. In the first Annie is just looking into the room where he is, and in the second he's just popping his head out of his body for a second.

I think a lot of the court thats actually used these days is probably kinda off-limits to the students, and they classes are just kinda split up all willy-nilly among the remaining abandoned areas. If the place grew from the seed bismuth, I'm betting it's just gonna keep growing, even if its already big enough to fit in everything they need three or four times over.

Given the size we've seen in panoramas, it seems more like three or four hundred times over.

Oh right, confused his nicer wolf form with his etheral form. But there's probably a simple reason that Rey can't help her with Jeanne.

Well they've only been down there deliberately once, and it was a scouting mission. Maybe he will go with them.

You know, I just thought of something. You know the Bismuth Seed that created the court? Maybe it's closely linked with the Tic-tocs? After all, a planted Tic-toc seems to create some sort of similar thing. Maybe the Bismuth Seed is a Tic-toc egg?

Or maybe they were one of the inventions of Father(can't remember his name). I bet that he managed to somewhat re-create the Seed in his robots, hence when the Tic-Toc died, it began to grow a new building.

The tic-tocs have apparently been around a longer time than the robots and Diego. Nobody knows who made them. I like the idea of the Seed being a tic-toc egg, though. And it fits with the story Ysengrin told of the tic-toc beginning to "root" itself into the landscape near the river, once it was buried.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

He's referring to Diego, whom the robots call "Father."

Yep, Blue is jealous. And apparently the teacher is also in the ether, since Blue's addressing her in the last panel.

(also Annie and Mort could totally pull off some sweet haunting tricks now, what with her new talent and all)

Arg there's just too much I like about this whole trip to Foley I can't keep up with it all. The faces, Annie being a weirdo and people actually liking it, everything in the ether being really pretty, and I don't think any of the kids actually know their teacher's name.

Reynard can't leave the court, or at least Annie has never given him permission to until after her last encounter with Jeanne. And if the court found out about that, she'd be in some serious hot water.
