I need to get a calendar or something. I was thinking today was Wednesday and was thrown off by the Monday part.  I need one of those. Hell I could just build one. |

A new guess: The boys borrowed a bucket of cam-balls and dropped them down the vent shaft of the girls' dormitory. Unfortunately for this plan, Smitty "just happened to" notice, so all they can see now is how Smitty's hot girlfriend (who "just happened to" be training underneath) lunges at them with a sword, and the screen goes dark - again, and again, and again.  |

Ok, the more I look at this, the more conflicted I am.
When I first saw it, I assumed the weird object had to be cut by Coyote's tooth. I mean, look at the "camera eye", the lens doesn't shatter, it is sliced cleanly in half. What else could do this? But if it is the Coyote's tooth, then Parley would be the one swinging it, and why would she be destroying expensive equipment? Cheaper to just use baseballs. Or stones for that matter.
But why a camera? That little dohicky on the top suggests an antenna. So I am having to switch over to the "Kat built a viewing device and they dropped it over the cliff" camp. Which Jeanne then slices cleanly in half.
If this is true, this answers a question that has been asked MANY times in the forum: Can Jeanne interact with real-world objects, or is all her damage etherial in nature?
We have seen her cut Annie's cheek, leaving a cut that hasn't healed in two years, but is only visible etherially. She has no "real" cut on her face. Jeanne also fought Parley and Annie when they were projected via blinker stone. This is the first time we will be able confirm she can deal physical world damage! (If we are right and this is Jeanne vs Camera. Otherwise all bets are off and Tom gets the next laugh.)

Because we must construct a robotic video capturing projectile which will provide us view over the river's edge. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that if a person's etheric being has been wounded deadly the physical person will die too? It has not been directly addressed, I give you that. But Annie and the stone has been separated, why doesn't she just let her etheric self to glide to the gorge's edge and call Jeanne to talk with her? |

Yeah, it isn't exactly wise to try and reason with the hate fueled rage-ghost who has been sitting alone next to the corpse of her long-dead lover slain by those she lived with and trusted as a means to entrap and enslave her spirit for their own protection.

Every conversation turns into "my heart was run through and left to die on the riverbed", followed by a swift sword to the face. Well, Jeanne probably cannot fly, otherwise even thr bridge would be dangerous to cross. So, Annie could just float out of reach of the sword. That strange green arrow that was imbued with magic is likely to come into play with trying to help Jeanne. If all they needed to do was physically kill Green Guy, any old arrow would likely do (though maybe tipped with poison to ensure death), but no, they used an arrow with special properties and we don't know what the properties were. Maybe Green Guys soul is trapped in the middle of the Annan waters. Since Jeanne seems to leave (some?) forest creatures alone (pre-human form Red and Blue for example, and Ysengrin since he patrols the area), they could enlist a forest creature for help. Though the only one who is likely to be available for that is Shadow. Edit: I just had an idea, since Shadow is still a shapeshifter, he can shapeshift into a fish and search underwater. However, we have no idea how Jeanne would react to a now 3D shapeshifting shadowperson. |

Just my opinion here, I think that since Jeanne is the guardian of the river, she wouldn't allow anyone near the body/remains of her lover. I am confident she would be standing there underwater to slay anyone who drew near. It's not like she needs to breathe. In the same way, although I agree she probably can't "fly" per se, she could most likely stand on the water if someone (Annie) tried to float down ethericly. I think she would be MUCH more aggressive than we have seen her thus far (which to be honest has been pretty scary indeed!) Bottom line, someone will have to deal with Jeanne before they can get to the arrow. And I think the plan is for Parley to distract Jeanne with her Unsichtbarhau combat skills, while Annie and team go for the arrow. I would really like to see some development of this plan, as it hasn't been mentioned since Chapter 35. EDIT: oh, post # 113! And I still don't know what that means! |

Add me into the camp for thinking this at first. The idea of it to be a way to check on Jeanne (she being dead and whatnot) seems to be the most likely thing to me. And they were in casual clothes last time as well. Though, could there be a deeper reason for Tom giving the preview? Random thoughts..the inside of the [webcam-like thing] has a kind of ridged appearance inside..what if it had some way of measuring friction? Giggleblade testing, perhaps for a more specific classification than "really damn sharp" ? Possibly significant is that there don't seem to be any ports or compartment seams (or interfacing in general) besides the antenna. Does the thing have to be completely disassembled to put batteries in? That probably wouldn't be user-friendly enough to be a consumer product, so maybe Kat's design? |

I think that if Annie hasn't been harmed physically the first time she met Jeanne, it is because as Muut said, she isn't able to cross the river. One side only is safe, the forest's one. That's why fairies Red and Blue are not to be worried, as for Ysengrin. But Annie, for some reason, do seem to have some attractive power towards etherical beings. That should explain why Jeanne was able, through the ether only, to cross the river to come and make the cheek's cut.
Pure speculation, though.
And I'm with those who thought SPAAAAAACE before noticing that it was a small scale and probably a camera being cut. The blade, for me, is Jeanne's. And I go for the "let's do some (scouting ? tracking ? the translator isn't clear on that point... T_T I'm soooo weak.), throw a camera down there and see what happens !".
I can't wait 'til monday. Want more.

I thought it was Zimmy because she hates cameras and seems to have a way of bringing material objects to a black zimmyscape where she can manipulate them
but we all know how tom loves to show things falling on a black background so ....
jeane can just go around destoying things, or else way more people would know about her

They're going to have to find the arrow first and if there are fish in the river, then shadow could shapeshift into one and just swim around. Not sure if he can shapeshift working gills or not though. Sure she might notice an odd looking fish, but if she is as single minded as she appears to be, then she would likely just ignore the fish. |

It is an interesting theory. Personally, I don't think Annie would be willing to risk Shadow's life on the gamble that Jeanne (who can see into the ether) can't tell the difference between an intelligent life and a fish. Guarding the river is her sole purpose and all... |

I think it would be interesting if it were a Court probe in the Forest. We've seen the forest attempt to i filtrate the court, why couldnt the court try and spy on the forest and the camera is being cut by someone from the forest. I can imagine Ysengrin could possibly cut something cleanly if he wanted to.

Has that been addressed how Annie's blood getting spilled got quite a lot screen time in chapter 8? Almost made me wonder that maybe somethihing non-replenishable (as real blood would be) was lost along, like her fire-nature. Either that or the Tic-Tic fertilizer -theory. |

Well Pixar has a habit of inserting the phrase 'A113' into their movies. It's a reference to the room number of the graphic design class at the California Institute of the Arts. Read about it here. |

A /co/ thread where someone pasted one of Tom's old blog posts in which he stated that he rides the "113 bus". Actually, I'm not sure if it was a blog post or what. It basically went "blah blah blah, I ride bus 113, blah blah stuff happens, blah blah Birmingham" followed by " posted by Tom 1:54". |
