There are higher powers to fear on both sides of the Annan, it seems. Tread carefully, Annie.

Bunny is still alive? Nothing creepy about that, not at all!

Makes sense I guess. Rey's body is still being kept around in the eventuality he decides to return to it.
Presumably the animal bodies aren't preserved, and eventually perish in some fashion or another.
That, or there's fields of comatose animal bodies somewhere in the forest, kept on magical life support.

Functionally though, it doesn't really make a difference. Like someone else said, them dumballs spend most of the time engaged in the ether and let their bodies do whatever junk needs doing.

Mmm! Zombie bunnies. ..
A delicious distraction to that awkward question about the Court.

I imagine Coyote saying something like this:
Seriously, though, it does raise many interesting questions. Is the body just in stasis? Without intervention from Coyote like Rey's body, would the rabbit body just waste away?

Hmm, somehow I don't believe Coyote is telling the whole story here. Manipulating Annie into distrusting the court over the forest again.

I guess this is one way to keep food warm and juicy so it still tastes good when Coyote eats it later. On the subject of the Court... Coyote doesn't lie. He tricks and deceives, probably by only telling parts of the truth that will elicits the reaction he wants. So the Court wants what it wants, but that may not really have anything to do with how the hollow faeries are born. I want pie, but that doesn't mean I want faerie pie. |

While Alistair morphed into his new body...could it be that some people jump into already made bodies of horned bunnies? |

I was just thinking, if there are fields of bodies in the Forest somewhere, then couldn't Rey currently hop all around from one body to another without it dying, because he's not displacing anyone? |

That's Coyotes plan! Unless the Court has Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch, it is doomed... Doomed! Are the fairies' bodies already in the Court? As in, the bodies that their Ether selves are tied to. Is there a hospital wing, that comatose "students" graduate from by waking up? "The Court wants what it wants" is a very vague answer to an interesting question. Very curious. |

Could it not just be that they are used to socialising that way, and so, now that they are human, continue to do so? This definitely could make a difference. Also, I'm back! Anyone notice I was gone? (No) |

Being the Trickster God, such a long period of time without trickery unsettles me more than anything else. Considering Annie is the Forest's Medium (ie; its envoy/diplomat/representative), this is a pretty logical desire - trickster or not. The fact that Annie controls Reynardine is another clear bonus. |

Hmm so then either a human soul jumps into the rabbit body or the forest could also give it to the Court for their studies.

Though even without Coyote, Annie's found several reasons to distrust the Court. He wasn't the one who told her about what the Founders did to Jeanne, or how the Court got Surma to lie to Renard in order to trap and control him. |

So far we haven't seen a lot of reasons to trust the Court at all. Pretty much every revelation has continued to put the Court in a poor light. No representative has come forward with any positive spin on the facts. It would be interesting to hear another side of the story. PS: Welcome back smurfton!  |

Perhaps the Court requested the creation of the death fairies because they realized they act like living access terminals to the ether? That's why they can do whatever they like in their wing of the Court, because the Court only keeps them around to fuel their investigations into the ether (we certainly haven't gotten a satisfactory answer as to how they access it, that's for sure). And since Coyote is so laid back, especially regarding life and death, it was an easy request to make for them. In that sense, I don't even think it may occur to Coyote that the Court's request might be suspicious. Or he takes for granted that everything the Court does is suspicious and he just goes along with it because he can't help seeing how it will all play out.
Or maybe Coyote is lying.
About everything.

(we certainly haven't gotten a satisfactory answer as to how they access it [the ether], that's for sure) , and other methods. It seems to permeate everything natural, living and nonliving. Or maybe Coyote is lying. About everything. - the most qualified person in this whole place. Most interpret that such that Coyote's literal word is true, but always misleading to the extreme. |

Just a comment to bump this thread to the front until Tom applies the broom to all the marriage guidance spam that's just cropped up.

Coyote does not lie, but neither does he tell the truth... Also, I'll give good odds that he'll just eat the rabbit's body himself. That is indeed one way, but the Court engages in many experiments. Perhaps because the Court themselves know not the true answer to your question? |

(If I were in Annie's place, I would ask if I could take it. You see, I also know where there's a carnivore nearby who likes rabbit... namely ME! And yes I know how to butcher a rabbit. Although it has been a long time...) |
