Oh EXCELLENT. I am absolutely breathless with anticipation.
...Okay, need to breathe now.
But still, I am VERY MUCH looking forward to this.

Are we going to find out about the girl from the picture? Haha, she's likely just someone irrelevant, some random friend, and we're all getting our panties in a bunch about her. However, this title page suggests we might find out about the former generation and their ties to our present kid-heroines. That is potentially awesome.

Wow. The plot is really flying along now. I am very impressed with the rate at which we're getting background information.
I was wondering, could this be a flashback chapter?
Also, while I'm happy if we'll find out about whatshername in the photo, there's another possible direction for the story to take: Kat finds out about the photo. That could get.... awkward.

Hmmmm, so if the last chapter was "SHE HAS THE SCAR ON HER FACE" then this chapter should be "IT'S THAT GIRL IN THE PHOTO."  |

Two in a row? More like twenty-two in a row. Ben EDIT: Unless you're referring to your quite prophetic "callings" of events instead of appreciable chapters, in which case you'd know better than I. |

I think Snes meant 2 Comic-has-updated-discuss-the-new-page-here threads. He's managed to get the last 2 in a row.

I gotta say, as far as title pages go, this one's pretty titillating, brimming with promise.

I've mentioned this before, but - although we've all speculated about the girl in the photograph, neither Annie nor Kat has ever commented on her or asked about her. In fact, she's the only person in the photo whom they paid no attention to whatsoever when they saw it in Chapter Seven.

I think it's Miss Jones + make up. It makes sense. She's the right age, and she's close with Mr. Eglamore and seems to know the history about Annie's father. Maybe some big traumatic thing happened to make her so emotionless/awesome.

IT'S NOT JONES. Per Word of Tom.
But I postulate that she's already dead. Or otherwise not employed/living/located at the Court.

Sorry, but it gets kind of tiresome when people use the same old theories that Tom's already refuted.

“Ties” … I must say I do cherish ambiguity in a chapter title. Does it refer to the ties between the two generations, or to the metaphorical “old school ties”, an old boy/girl network comprising James, Donald, Anthony, Surma, Anja, and the mystery girl? Or just quite literally the ties one shouldn’t wear when visiting Gillitie Forest?
Perhaps we will hear why Surma and Anthony severed the ties to all their friends after Surma had left the Court, and why none of them ever visited Surma during her years in Good Hope.

"Ties" refers to the fact that James, Donald, and Anthony have all got 'em on in the photo. |

My thoughts exactly! Although, the story could be about railroad ties...

Random? I think that with the exception of the teacher-faculty-whatever that tell Annie to get inside the school waaaayyy in chapter 1, everyone who has shown up is significant in at least some way also, great to be back... I moved to Australia (to start a Master degree) and couldn't log on for like a month  |

Yeah, that’s why I said it might refer quite literally to the ties that are part of the school uniform (for the boys; the girls seem to wear ties only when formally dressed, such as Annie when visiting Coyote). |

I am bursting at the seams with anticipation. Why did this have to land on a Friday?! I had hoped that we would see a chapter that dealt with the previous generation, but I certainly did not expect it to be this soon! Now I wonder who's perspective it will be from. Will it be one of the Donlans telling the girls the story, or will it be a complete flashback story from the perspective of one of the kids at that age?

The 3rd girl in the photo is Nancy Drew.

Bwahahaha! But, but, the real question is: was the person who took the photo wearing a tie?!?! |

Will it be one of the Donlans telling the girls the story, Probably not, since Mrs. Donlan provided a lot of exposition in the last chapter, and Tom generally displays more variety than that. (Of course, it might be *Mr.* Donlan who does the talking, but he's generally let Anja handle things.) |

I'm hoping it's Eglamore. I'd like to hear some things from his voice, although I expect that if it does deal with Annie's father in anyway, he is going to be quite biased on the subject
