what is this mad man doing?!!! That didn't happen, yes yes! And thus, I am the father of all tragedies, in the end.  |

Tooth goose?*
This has Beaufort Scale written all over it.
*Trivia: tooth mousse *does* exist!

Quite the riveting tale. So, when do we get to see ysengrin?

If you imagine "the wind" as Coyote farting without breaking character, while the animals are none the wiser, it makes the text rather funny.
Rabbit: "Wow. What is that smell?"
Mouse: "I think it's that dead goose."
Coyote: *snicker*
Rabbit: "... Wait?..."

Yes, but what about Mrs. Bear and Squirrel???
I'm wondering how this whole "disguise" thing works. Is this dead goose a body that he took over? And this page seems to imply that the animals *could* have recognized the goose as Coyote if they'd looked closely enough - but how? And I still think he's going to end up spying on somebody's private goings-on. Hopefully Coyote actually disguised himself 25 years ago and we get another Ties-esque chapter.

That would be so deliciously, horribly appropriate for Coyote. We already know he doesn't have qualms about changing/violating areas of life folks would call private: the way he gifts and manipulates physical attributes with equal breeziness; his "pep talk" to Renard re: body-snatching; the casual rabbit-killing while calmly explaining. This character really makes you take a 2nd (or 3rd) look at how much potential the "life is a game" mindset has. |

So when I first saw the dead bird glyph that's repeated three times here, I thought it looked a lot like Kat's angel symbol. Then I looked up that symbol and it's a lot less similar than I thought. Anyone else see this? (Click for much bigger image.)  |

Cool story, bro.
I wonder if Coyote had an initial reason to do this and what that could be. I can see him doing something just for the giggles, but how many days of wind blowing would it take for a god to not find something funny anymore?

Kat's vision is pretty mechanical and sterile, while the dead goose is pretty clearly rotting tissue over bone. |

Usually they are for fun and some other obscure purpose. So, he should be waiting for someone to spy.... meanwhile, he has fun with the animals and the wind. IMO. |

Anyone else see this? (Click for much bigger image.) And all this time I thought the symbol of the creator represented people with big noses..  Interesting thought, linking the symbol to birds, as we know Kat loves birds. |

Anyone else see this? No, but there is a similarity between the first two I didn't notice before. And it's a very nice wallpaper for a wide-screen monitor. |

Coyote never does things just for fun. Then you clearly haven't paid any attention! My central motivation (confirmed by My creator) is My personal amusement, and nothing more. My entire worldview is tinted by that simple fact that, in the end, I do everything just for fun. |

Maybe you derive your amusement from intricate, perfectly coordinated, world-spanning and -altering plots? |

When Coyote is being serious he is doing it for laughs.
When Coyote is being ridiculous he has something very serious going on.
Which one is this?

So Coyote actually had the patience to lie there in a bush for at least three days? Hard to believe... Edit: Hmm. "On the first day the other animals did not recognize me and walked by..." Does this imply that the first day was the only day they did not recognize him?  |

In the thread before thus, someone mentioned that maybe coyote tricked Anthony by pretending to be a psychopomp. What do you guys reckon?

I wonder if this will be a "something really different"-type story in which none of the cast except for Coyote and Ysengrin (the former we know is present; Ysengrin appeared in the window for this chapter on the Table of Contents) will appear, and the whole chapter will be Coyote retelling a myth about himself to Ysengrin - with maybe a brief allusion to the Court characters, but no on-stage appearances from them.
