Actually, the Tooth's record for cutting etheric stuff is 0-1, as it failed to bisect Shadow2. I suspect that it'll in fact be worthless against anything etheric, (including Jeanne) being entirely focused on physical objects. I don't know. It cut Shadow2 loose from the ground, how is this possible physically? He wasn't even a threedimensional object before. And maybe Coyote still has some measure of control over the blade. I could imagine it having a soul for itself, acting in Coyote's best interests. One of those self-aware magical weapons.  Maybe Coyote did that on purpose, making Shadow2 more than the others of his kind, improving his original creation. What if what Coyote really wants to cut with it are the binds that hold Jeanne at the Annan waters? Create open road to the court again for the forest. I think I'll put my money on that bet. Perhaps it could do that, but bear in mind that Word of Tom has stated that Coyote doesn't know the nature of the force guarding the Annan Waters. Therefore, he couldn't have deliberately selected a tool specifically for that purpose. |

It's a blind stab, if you want. |

No Microsat 5? Darn. I'm guessing that Jeanne normally patrols the Court's side of the shore, and the Tic-Tocs saved Annie by carrying her to the Forest's side. Also, I notice that Robot is giving Jeanne a pretty major handicap; a bokken versus a fencing foil? That is very similar to the weapon that she fights with; he's training Parley specifically for this fight, and if you go back and look at this page, you'll see that it may actually make it more challenging for Parley (though we don't know the full extent of Jeanne's style/skills). |

I wonder if they will do more research on the item that was used on green dude when he crossed the river before they try to extract it?

And the other question is: will Coyote's Tooth become the longsword that Parley normally uses, or is it restricted to the more Annie-appropriate short sword? If the latter - which appears to be the case based on what we've seen of the bokken - then Robot has a significant advantage in reach. (Also in weapon familiarity, but that's why Parley is sparring.) And so will Jeanne, whose sword is apparently about as sharp as the Tooth. Parley will have the advantage of her teleportation-based combat style... which isn't quite as useful if she's guarding something other than herself. Such as, oh, Annie. |

Though in Blade Runner at least, the crazy enhancing could be justified if you assumed the photos where very high definition, holographically stored 3D images. That's what I always liked about that scene. It actually does run out of resolution eventually. |

The tip just hit a...snag...in the fabric of creation, and cut it free. |

It is more than likely that this has already been said, but I speculate that Jeanne just hates everything she identifies with the Court. She only attacked in psycho rage mode after linking her rage to 'that damn place'. She did not attack any of the 'pure etheric' creatures who were down there: Shadow, the fairies, Mu'ut, Ys, etc. Furthermore, her 'attack' on Annie seemed more probing than actually planning to kill her. She particularly hates robots, as they remind her of her stalker Diego.
Now, the real question is why she did not attack Kat if she had the chance.
I don't think that the Giggleblade will totally fail here. It would be too big of a letdown for the buildup. Though, of course, it could always have another purpose (Jones, we're looking at you...)
Now, an unexpected result is very likely. Coyote would find that hilarious, which makes it more than a possibility. Possibilities? (Personally, I'm betting on 'warps us to the eponymous Realm'.)

Jeanne's lover was Coyote in disguise. They'll finally get to the water, and there'll be nothing there  |

Just cause Coyote is beyond crazy, and it's so ridiculous, it could just be true. |

Not at all important, but some dialogue and one of the pages heavily implied that the shadow people used to be three-dimensional just like Shadow 2 is now, but fell into their current two-dimensional form after Coyote abandoned them. |

I wonder if they will do more research on the item that was used on green dude when he crossed the river before they try to extract it? That does seem like a critical step before confronting Jeanne. In fact, it makes me wonder what they are doing now by throwing the camera into the river. Is it just to measure Jeanne's reaction time, or are they actually trying to find the arrow down in the water and get a better look at what they will have to deal with? Or both? |

Could be just general recon. Whatever info they can grab is better then nothing for not much cost. |

That's true of course. I have forgotten, thank you. Well then the touch of the blade could be a hint that Coyote cares about this one of his glass-eyed men again... maybe only because he supports Annie. |
