Interestingly, this page also crushes speculation that Kat is an Afterlife Guide. I suspect Monday's will crush that. One could still argue at the moment. |

If Kat was an afterlife guide then the skeleton clerk would have said so or maybe not. We shall see.

Concerning Afterlife Guides:
Annie was cutting class (again) the day they had that lesson.

This kind of page is another reason I like this comic so much. Situation: Your party members are reacting to things in mark-ably different ways then you are. Most media: "I'm sure they're just a little confused, I am right, and everything is fine." GC: "Nope. Stop the train. We are going to sit down and hash this out." Such common sense. I doubt they would even fall for a slasher plot. |

She just doesn't call herself one. I thought every Fire-elemental is an afterlife guide per se. The child always is the guide for the mother, probably from the beginning of their existence. |

(but does smell a little)The Robot Goddess theory is still up in the hair, however. Something is happening though - also with the symbol DoorSkull saw. EDIT: I meant 'up in the air', but the hair also goes up. |

"Its only as real as you let it be." Works everywhere. Whatever Annie or Kat are seeing of the ROTD isn't being too helpful. At least Kat's way can provide someone for help. I hope Annie learns what they should have told her long ago.

I think each just sees what they beleive in. That's is how tROTD keeps the religions at peace. Only the books that pertain to your acceptance are shown.
Annie believes in most religions at least as a starting point (she has met guides from multiple cultures). So she sees a more intimidating tROTD than Kat. She also sees more books, which are about those religions and beliefs.
Kat has called alchemy and other etheric sciences "hookey" and therefore cannot see the books pertaining to those subjects. That's why she sees tROTD as ridiculous. The robots are starting to worship Kat, and the robots have a special interest in Jeanne. So Kat can have access to a book about Jeanne.

Huh, I wonder if that statement applies to Coyote. |

Huh, I wonder if that statement applies to Coyote. Coyote himself has said so. That's his great secret. He loves nothing more than stories about himself, because without these, he is a dead lower-case coyote skeleton that once ate a dead man in the desert, or possibly even less than that. In other words, he was born because humans thought of fate as a powerful entity intruding upon their lives, and therefore he can make sure that he is perceived as such. If Coyote weren't scheming and tricking and displaying impossible strength so obviously at every corner, he would weaken himself. Even he is bound by what he is. |

Interestingly, this page also crushes speculation that Kat is an Afterlife Guide. Crush speculation? Surely you jest. This is the internet, after all. Perhaps the difference is that Annie has actually done the job of an afterlife guide (on her own approximately 1.5 times that we know of, plus she accompanied afterlife guides on at least part of their work many times and probably talked with quite a few of the clients) while Kat hasn't but will do so in the future. So Annie gets to see the entire library while Kat only gets to see stuff directly relevant to her current quest. |

Trying to crush speculation on these forums is like trying to crush smoke with a hammer.

If the hammer is going at relativistic speed, you can get some result (and then be vaporised by the resulting nuclear fusion before you even *see* you got a result).

But I meant 'if Annie decides not to believe in him, would he not be able to affect her?'. |

I think that she couldn't do it for two reasons:
(A) Coyote is fueled by the imagination of many people, not just Antimony's own. Similarly, not believing in Zeus' lightning does not make one immune to Zeus' lightning.
(B) It's hard to completely ignore something that you remember as existent, and it's even harder not to think of something unpleasant you really want to ignore right now. You know, like not thinking about purple elephants. If you're determined not to do that, you will.

Are we going to get the same chapter again after this one, but shown from Annie's point of view (and Mort's, assuming they see things the same way)? I think that could make for a nice story twist, like Zimmy's Robot-angel-Kat. That would make for an incredibly LONG chapter. |

Just calling it for Monday: Darth Librarius says "No, I wasn't talking to you."  As awesome as this would be, he pretty clearly WAS talking to her, as in "she (pointing at Annie) should be able to tell you." |
