Panel 2: Fannie seems disproportionate here... at least her hand
Also: The wonky worker bee eyes return! (Panel 6, Courtney)

Because it is three in the morning where I live the first time I looked at today's comic I thought the creature's name was "ashtray."

Have these things been mentioned before in the comic? Or is this just a creature Annie is aware of because Forest Medium?

By "spoke to Ysengrin", does Fan mean the warning about the Court sending Annie far away?

AsraiBecause it is three in the morning where I live the first time I looked at today's comic I thought the creature's name was "ashtray." Same here, at nine o'clock. So she didn't tell the whole story before. Especially not about Ysengrin's warning against the court, I guess.

[edit] Good catch on the Asrai, I'd never heard of that one (I think).[/edit] To be fair I would have seriously thought about omitting the encounter with Ys, such as it was, in my report if I was Fannie. Leaving aside the thought that the things that were discussed might give the higher-ups an additional reason to doubt my loyalty, "Loup" could have faked or influenced the entire thing. I guess the takeaway for today's comic is that we're seeing a voluntary exchange. Courtnie told Fannie something valuable and it prompted Fannie to bring up how she spoke with Ysengrin, which is something Fannie knew that Courtnie would very much want to know. And Courtnie is still in the lead, both literally and figuratively by initiating the exchange. I suspect this may be the new normal. More on asrai here. |

Ah hah! I knew the "water" stuff stuck to the ceiling a few pages ago didn't look like normal water! I was wrong about it following them though.

This. I found the bit about how the changeling didn't know he was a fairy interesting. Also the part about time speeding up.

Any speculation on what's making Court!Annie's eyes bug out like that in the last panel?

F!Annie probably ommited this party during her debriefing, or minimized it. Y is very important to Base Annie, so both versions of her still care about him. Keep in mind that C!Annie ONLY knows Y ate Coyote and transformed into Loup, she has no idea there is something of Y in there! |

Well, I liked it more as Monky,thankyouverymuch That name was too misleading for me; it looked too close to "monkey", when the being itself didn't look anything like a monkey. Of course, as others have pointed out here, "ashray" is probably too close to "ash tray" - but I think the added h establishes it more as the webcomic's own creation. (The original asrai of legend seem to have been far more humanlike in appearance.) |

There's some irony in having a creature immune to Annies' fire (and well... Courtnie's rays I guess?) called *Ash*ray

I guess if they teamed up with their fire they could make it hot enough to turn the ashray into steam. Or turn it into a creature made of boiling water. I wonder if the ominous warning Ysengrin told Annie "they are going to send you far away" is foreshadowing to one of the Annies' future. Ysengrin probably didn't know about the extra Annie, but if we are going to continue with 2 Annies Tom may want to put one of them on a bus for a while. |

Yeah, I also misread it as ashtray. Then I thought "ray" as in stingray.

What, you don't think it's a friendly Monkfish Dunkleosteus Scorpion hybrid? I guess this explain Annie's surprised face. I'd be surprised too if the creature I expected to look like an adorable water lady actually looked like a mix of: a) Monkfish - a lurker of the seabed that looks like it spawned from hell; b) Dunkleosteus - basically a great white shark in an Iron Man suit (Ironshark I guess); and c) Scorpion - the thing you kill immediately even though you think all life is precious |

I just realized that Courtnie wanted to stay put although knowing all along that they were basically powerless against the ashray. Wild guess, Loup did not include Annie's sense of fear when making her duplicate, because he wasn't able to understand what it was (for). |

More obvious guess: Courtney has experience with ashrays and knows it would not follow them. |

Going by the descriptions of ashray they can be dangerous when provoked or cornered but they aren't usually aggressive; physical contact with one can cause permanent burn-like injuries to humans. That could explain why it didn't attack, or if it did it didn't attack aggressively, and why it didn't chase the twins. It can also explain why Courtnie seemed to think that they could wait near it for an extended period of time even though she knew the twins' fire couldn't hurt it. Bonus facts: They're intelligent (or reasonably so) but can't speak, or they can't speak in a way normal humans could understand, and sunlight can damage their bodies and potentially kill them.
But all of that is from non-comic sources so take it with a grain of salt.

Wild guess, Loup did not include Annie's sense of fear when making her duplicate, because he wasn't able to understand what it was (for). More obvious guess: Courtney has experience with ashrays and knows it would not follow them. It went right in the middle of the human populated Court, and seemingly destroyed things. Also I don't expect Courtnie (assuming she's a regular Annie) to attack a non aggressive creature, yet she still found out that her powers didn't work on them. And she could have just told Sylvie if the ashray wasn't much of a threat, instead of following. Your guess is still more likely than mine (and I would like it more, I'm starting to really like Annie as a pair), but I don't think it is very likely. |
