Cue the wisdom of Reynardine.

Renard sees both Annies and slowly closes the door to his room.

I mean, if people believe that Renard would be able to see which one is fake, wouldn't that make Court Annie real by default, since she's been with him for 6 months and he hasn't noticed anything?

I think they're both real - and (as I've mentioned in other threads) that we're not going to get the (relatively) easy "expose the fake Annie" scenario. They'll both be real (linked in some way to Annie's etheric nature, with the potential for more revelations and metaphysical discourse), and will have to work out that problem together, without recourse to the "figure out which one's the impostor and then take her down in a thrilling action sequence" method. |

It could be that he had felt there was something strange about her for the last six months but decided to keep silent about it. Anyway, I hope we'll find out soon. One way to find out could be if the Annies gave him conflicting commands. (Or would that be fatal to him?) |

I wonder how Renard feels, now living again in Tony's house. And if they have talked by now, and if Renard still visits Eglamore.

I really wonder what Anthony thinks about all of this, the few words he's said so far have been in support of Forrest Annie. Its hard to get a read on him with his nearly expressionless face. He seemed very open to the idea that each Annie is real, he probably doesn't like the Annie's hurling barbs at each other, and is continuing to defend Forrest Annie.

He has been subtly supportive of Forest!Annie, and this irritates Court!Annie. He could have followed Kat's suggestion, and set Forest!Annie up in a nearby house; but instead offered for her to stay with him. It will be interesting to see how the situation evolves... especially how Rey perceives things. |

I'm interested in seeing what the Rey/Tony dynamic is now. I kinda think they are still going to butt heads, Tony seems like all the things about the court Rey doesn't trust wrapped up into one guy.

He works behind the Court's back to do what he thinks best (tho his choices are not always wise!). And they both love Annie. They may have more in common than one would first imagine, and may eventually grow to be odd allies in some ways.... |

forest!Annie: "Reynad, I command you to stand on one leg."
*Rey says nothing nor moves*
court!Annie: "Reynad, I command you to stand on one leg."
*Rey says nothing nor moves*
Tony: "Tell us what this means, Reynard?"
Rey: "I don't kn-" *gasp* *runs and embraces Tony* "What have they done to you, Annie?"

If I recall correctly Annie practically never issued any orders to Reynardine anymore and Reynardine would comply no matter what any way so no matter if Reynardine noticed that anything was off about Courtnimony in the last six months I find it probable that him being forced to comply with orders has not been an issue that has been tested.

One way to find out could be if the Annies gave him conflicting commands. (Or would that be fatal to him?) The scary part is that it's possible that they might get the two Annies to do just that - not to find out which of them is real but to study the effects upon him. (I don't think that Kat or Antony would stoop to that - but other people at the Court might.) |

Damn it Tom. You had to end it there, didn't you? Let's see: Awkward conversations with friends and family members, relatives who haven't seen you in a long time, high suspicion, resentment, jealousy, veiled sniping, tension in general but in particular over where people will be staying... A dog that will try to attack you, another dog who's probably friendly but who's opinion can make things better or worse. I don't see any booze but otherwise it's the perfect place for the comic to be at the holiday season! Merry Christmas, everyone!  (wanders out back to drink and smoke) |

I am interested to see how Tony and Rey interact, I don't think we've seen them interact at all, their only interaction was a refusal to interact. Clearly they don't (or at least didn't) like each other, but I feel like they'll both want to give Forrest Annie fair treatment. |

Ok. What if Rey can’t tell either? It is possible that he was already set free but he complies only out of love.

Welcome to the forum, penguinguy! Ok. What if Rey can’t tell either? It is possible that he was already set free but he complies only out of love. I'm betting his response will not resolve anything one way or another. He'll either say they both look and smell real (though we may find out that one's more real than the other later) or that he can't say, or he'll respond with something enigmatic. |

Looking back at the treatise (https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2052) I wonder if the separation of Annie's hair fire from the rest of the fire is significant. Note as well, that Annie's hair is court!annie's style, but she is wearing a forest uniform. Perhaps forest!Annie will lean more towards her fire elemental nature, and become a sort of psychopomp, fulfilling the bargain while leaving a more human annie to live her life. |

Not really trusting anyone, having crazy sketchy schemes involving toying with reality while not agreeing with other peoples crazy describes both the court and Tony. Rey seems to find that creepy at best. Sure I think Rey will give Tony credit for loving Annie, I just can't picture them doing more then getting along with mistrust hiding under the surface for both. |
