Okay... Right motive. Wrong person. (Always look out for the quiet ones!)

It was the rabbit all along!
I feel like we should be in an Agatha Christie novel and go back looking for clues pointing towards the rabbit from the start.

Does Canvey seem like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland to anyone else?

Next chapter: The khaki-haired new girl stares at you like a rabbit, sniffs her nose often, wears her hair in short spikes with two of them sticking out frontally, and displays a strange habit of drinking carrot juice. She is, of course, an entirely unrelated character. Does Canvey seem like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland to anyone else? For me, it's the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.

Chapter 15, on the underground train, but that refers only to Foley students. Perhaps female animals turn into girls and are put into a different house, perhaps they become Foley boys. I don't know

It's discussed in the discussion thread from the time. gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/thread/1451#page=3

I doubt we'll see 'new boy' (another Jack!?) till next year (start of vol. 6) which, on previous indications, is about 4 chapters off. Next question to ponder: is Green feeling obliged to come too?

I wonder what is the Forest's official stand on this Gunnerkrigg Refugee Introduction Program. Also is there a similar option the other way round?

We've already seen the option for other way round firsthand. Kat's first crush, Alistair, became a bird along with his family. Apparently there is a some kind of test involved. For the fairies it involves being killed by someone else, according to Red and Blue. Incidentally, I'd like a link to that Formspring post. It sounds like a very peculiar (not to mention arbitrary) policy to force one group of creatures to become involuntarily transgendered when no such restriction applies to any other group under the same contract.

Here. I can't use formspring with Firefox, probably something to do with my ad-blocker, that's why I usually link to Chrysoprax. I was a bit surprised too, can't remember noticing that answer before.

But I have to say, that really sounds like an arbitrary and rather unfortunate policy. I hope it'll actually come up in this storyline so we could figure out what it's for.

I always assumed it was to keep the number of boys and girls in Foley classes about equal. Look at the bonus page from Red Gets a Name, we have sixteen "named" students, and nine of them are girls. It seems there are more fairies moving to the court than the other animals put together. I don't think they mind the gender-change too much.

Do I smell a temporary visitation program for transferees? With Annie and Andrew as the new mediums, I dont see why they wouldnt agree to allow for those who have "changed sides" to visit their friend on the other side for little bits of time. Or maybe change how the process works at least.

For some reason, I'm envisioning an orientation video starring Coyote, where he occasionally breaks Fourth Wall and interacts with the viewer. Best. Orientation video. Ever.

Wow. Oh wow. As someone who was unaware of even the speculation of someone going to the court, this was a mood whiplash.

Who said that they didn't switch? I feel that there's either some kind of magical contract that requires it, it is magic after all, or Coyote did it because he was bored. Or maybe the court actually did want to keep the classes somewhat evenly populated. On yet another note: I seem to remember reading that the fairies pretty much pop into existence because of environmental circumstances, and don't really have parents. Can anyone confirm/discard this idea? I don't really know where I got the notion from.

Annie, you're a mediator, there's a patient. Get to work.
Off topic, I still want to see Annie bring up Jeanne in front of Coyote, and Coyote go "If you know what's good for you, -girl-, you'll avoid her."

Initially I was rather appalled by it, but I suppose animals have a different relationship to gender than humans do, being that gender is something of a social construct. I am intensely curious as to whether there's any sort of instance of transgender students in Foley, but I'm not going to get my hopes up that that will be addressed. edit: On another note, flipping Canvey's face.

It could be interpreted that they 'spawn' (gamer here) randomly in small, enclosed spaces such as logs, Doritos bags and abandoned shoes, or it could be interpreted that their eggs are laid there. I took the first interpretation too.

Why would he do that?
