Oneiros posted:I can not help but wonder if Coyote's tooth might play some role in this chapter. Of course, I have no idea if Annie brought it with her or even if she would have any access to it while stuck in ethereal form. I don't think she has any training in its use yet, either, but maybe Parley could do something with it? If you can't lose a blinker stone I bet sure as hell you can't lose a god's tooth. And it is definitely going to have an ethereal form.

McGravin posted:Can you imagine having Smitty as a housemate? You could throw a huge, tear-the-house-down kegger every night of the week, and no matter how rowdy it got there wouldn't be so much as a cup left out on the coffee table the next morning. But after a party the expected state is a messy house. Which could mean that through Smitty's ill-defined powers of organization even the mildest of parties would end with a smoldering crater.

Kojiro posted:You don't have to go all nuts trying to remove fanfic from the net, just don't read it and make it publicly known that you don't. That sucks rear end. Writers are able to steal all they want from almost the entire history of literature. If by some miracle a fanfic writer actually makes something worth while it should be the right of the original's author to plunder that fanfic right down to the font.

Mirage posted:I read it simply that Surma gave Renard the moniker "Reynardine" as an affectionate nickname one day and now he bears it proudly. Sort of like how he's willing to take a trip through the washing machine just because Surma made the body he's inhabiting. He's crazy for anything she has to do with him. B-but a nickname can't be longer then the name it replaces. That defeats the whole point of nicknames Surma!

Pick posted:It would be very interesting to me if Anthony were actually a great guy with some issues and Surma was a charismatic but manipulative person.) If Anthony were a great guy I don't think he'd have dropped his daughter off what has to be the most dangerous boarding school in the world and then immediately proceeded to drop off the face of the Earth.

Pick posted:Yeah, and what's with all those British parents during WWII sending their kids off to the country, leaving them with strangers where they might be mistreated, even sexually abused? Didn't they care? What could possibly be more important than being beside their children to nourish them during their formative years? Last I checked Gunnerkrigg Court does not take place during world war III, the cell phone has been invented, mail still exists, and there are boarding schools that are not plagued with monsters.

I don't think we can really blame Coyote for treating Ysengrin like crap. Ysengrin is a pathetic hanger on with no sense of humor and anger management issues. Whipping boy is just about the only useful function the guy can serve.

Pick posted:Man, you are irrationally hard on the characters presently being cast as unsympathic, considering how little information we have and how morally grey most of the cast have been revealed to be. Remember when people felt sorry for Diego? Do you recall the response to Jack murdering the robot and trapping Renard? And you bend over backwards to concoct redeeming traits in characters who And Jack going psycho was awesome, finally someone besides Annie or Kat was doing something. Edit: minor rephrasing.

Revolver Bunker posted:Well at the very least I've seen people failed immediately from courses for plagiarism and cheating on midterms/finals. It's pretty solemn when the instructor calls a guy out in a room of 400 and basically says "You cheated and now you're gone". My mom's a professor and she was forced by her university once to give several students make-up tests after their parent's complained the the university that she had failed them for cheating on a final. Clearly the severity of punishment can be inconsistent.

Hang on Sloopy posted:My wild speculation: Jones will be revealed to be an orphan as well, and will either become her confidante for the issues Annie can't even talk to Kat about, or be the example to Annie of what she could turn out to be like if she keeps bottling up her emotions. It turns out that Jones was only acting all wooden because her parents died in a water-skiing accident the week before she was introduced to the story, and she wants to make sure that no one sees it get to her.

I really wonder what this will mean for Annie and Reynardine's relationship long term. Any trust they had is now gone, I don't know how they could rebuild that relationship. That is unless Annie just orders Reynardine to pretend like nothing ever happened.

FredT.E.C. posted:I doubt their long term relationship would be all that damaged. Reynardine still loved Surma regardless of whether or not she felt the same. He is emotionally attached to Annie because of that love, and would be more than likely to be willing to forgive Annie's outburst. That is bullshit, Reynardine's love for Annie's mother could be the foundation of a relationship, but not the entire basis of one. If that's all the two of them have going then there is little hope that they can maintain their friendship. Also let's not forget that Annie's 'outburst' involved using super natural control over Reynardine to torture him.

I suppose I'm the only one here who is disappointed, to see Coyote once again claiming to have known everything yet have done nothing about it. Since he's been introduced Coyote has done anything that justifies his reputation as this big scary deity that the Court is so worried about. For a trickster god he sure is boring.

So Annie gets angry once and suddenly she has a the inner temper of a fire elemental? Considering that she is a teenage girl she is, if anything, super-naturally calm.
