Hi there SB!
We have so many questions...

I didn't see that coming. The story has really been picking up steam.

Soooo..... let's resume a little (please add what I missed):
1. The Court was born from "this guy", right? So by "the spirit of the ruins" it might mean the spirit of the court or of the part of the court that now is in ruins???
2. And now, he/it/sheguy/whatever is there in those ruins, on the forest side? So, not in the court, but...
3. it's only geographically in forest either, since the forest "people" don't go there, only the nightmarish monsters?
4. Anyway, just two little ´thoughts, first being that if it was the spirit of the court, now the court has lost its spirit? Do they in the court know that the seed bismuth is there? Is it tied to those ruins or why is it there? I'd suppose it is. Why to that part of the court in particular?
5. And second and perhaps more important to Annie: whether the seed bismuth is dangerous or not in itself, I'd bet that it is not on the side of those monsters that ruined the parts of the Court that were there.

On a side note, if it wasn't clear already: the Seed Bismuth!!! This is way too exciting! We will learn something important about the history of the court now, won't we?! Won't we? Tom?
...do you reckon it should be written with capital S and B? Tom is a bit ambiguous about this stuff as his font makes no difference between capital and, uh, non-capital letters.

I agree, some sort of mind reading thing showing Annie what she thinks she'd like it to look like? |

That was unexpected!
I didn't think that the seed bismuth would be an intelligent lifeform.

And yeah: It's a trap.

I agree, some sort of mind reading thing showing Annie what she thinks she'd like it to look like? oh noes.... that is a plausible scenario... but it's a very good mind reading thing then, because it is fooling most of us too. Or then Tom is a clever mean mind reading thing, showing us what we want to see, the Seed Bismuth, to shock us when Annie finds herself in a trap of some mind-eating nightmare. |

This Seed guy might not be the real deal, but in any event, it resembles an angel. Whatever that means! |

I believe we may have reached the halfway point of the overarching plot, chronologically speaking. It all depends on what this thing has to say.
Honestly I did not expect something animate/conscious. Or sprite-like for that matter. At least it can be interrogated.
The question is, why is it hanging around these ruins? Remnants of an old deal? An exchange?

The SB and the Court floaty symbol thing look very similar...

The Seed Bismuth is actually a psychedelic butterfly. I knew it!

It's trivia time! (I'm sure these things were mentioned before, but what the heck...) The chemical element Bismuth is in the same group on the periodic table as the element Antimony, one period down. Bismuth is a metal that sometimes can be found, but also can be grown in crystalline form. To do that, you liquefy the metal and let it cool down under controlled conditions while introducing a small, solid piece of Bismuth to the molten mass. This piece is called a Seed. Here's a guy who does that professionally. |

Maybe not a trap, but a trick? This would be just the sort of joke a certain Prankster would love play....

Here's another question: if the Seed Bismuth is on the Forest side, how does the Court continue to grow? Or has it stopped growing altogether?
Should the similarity of Industrial Kat and this newfangled Seed bloke mean anything, Kat might fulfil the same role for the robots as the Seed (should have) fulfilled for the humans: a union with nature.
I'm not sure why the Seed Bismuth dislikes periods. I like to imagine it talks like Roast Beef. »Oh dang what do I know I'm just the Seed Bismuth / All whizzing about in my past Crayola glory«
