If the command really was "take us to where Reynard is", perhaps this isn't Anthony's house.
In any event, shiny floors. I wonder if Anthony does his own polishing? Because that floor just screams OCD to me.

And consarn it, once again, Annie's friends care so little about her opinion, they won't even let her finish her sentences. The Blips probably heard everything they think they need to know from Kat. They saw Annie's hair and dress and immediately accepted everything they'd been told.

So Parley can just teleport to the location of any given object? Cause if so, that makes her insanely useful for finding stuff (Or alternatively, her teleport can just follow any command at all, and she can do whatever the hell she wants - "Take me to the place where I can learn how to defeat Jeanne in a fight")

Good call to the folks predicting the title page was showing Anthony's house. Not yet. Anthony Carver: Interior Decorator Hmm. You have a good point. Always wondered if Anthony was somewhere in the Court; that would explain why Antimony didn't have a guardian. ? Next page: They walk around to the other side of the chair to find Renard sitting in it, slowly swirling a glass of wine and grinning widely. "Welcome to my new lair . . . " Not likely... but not entirely impossible.  He isn't in plain sight, anyway. And right now that chair is the only piece of furniture we see. But also, an interesting thing to consider about Anthony and Renard is: apparently there was some sort of a great spat involving Eglamore and Donlans on one side and Surma on the other... and Anthony left with her. If the incident with Renard was the reason of this, Anthony may have been technically on his side? Even if Renard does not like him (but then, not many do) and was plain old jealous (and why not?). Then he takes off the wolf mask and RENARD WAS TONY IN DISGUISE ALL ALONG! Perish the thought. |

If there's nothing in the room but the chair, doesn't that imply that Reynard, in one form or another, probably the plushie, is also in the chair? And, oh, hey:  The light streams in from stage right, casting shadows of the window frame and the right chair wing. Speckles fill the air, possibly drops or dirt on the window, blurred because the observer is too close to them. But...left wing, top--my gosh, those two speckles are uncommonly large. And the wing shadow seems to form... It's a figure with two eyes. [ Partial ninja by Jim North.] |

Alright, this might be suited to another thread, but after lurking, thinking, lurking, and thinking some more, is anyone else getting a serious Goodwill Hunting vibe here? As in Annie, whether she consciously realizes it or not, blames herself for her father's absence (and behavior perhaps?).

I still don't want to let go go of the theory that [insert crazy idea]. Direct statements from the author to the contrary be damned! Careful, you're on a slippery slope. Next thing you know, you'll be saying that Tony is a paragon of virtue!  ...the semi-mummified corpse of the real Anthony Carver, dead for these three years. But...but then we could never get revenge! just want to brood in that chair and say "soon..." Why do you think Tony has it? It's not like he likes extraneous objects in his space....Anthony, stroking a familiar looking white plushie - "Welcome, Miss Donlan. I've been expecting you...." "No, Mrs. Donlan, I expect you to die." So Parley can just teleport to the location of any given object? I am guessing (without evidence either way) that it only works because Smitty is with her - his powers allow her to do more with her teleportation.

If there's nothing in the room but the chair, doesn't that imply that Reynard, in one form or another, probably the plushie, is also in the chair? Or is the chair. Maybe as punishment for attempting to steal Surma, Anthony has commanded Renard to assume the form of his overstuffed chair seat cushion or some part of the stuffing that was lacking through wear. And his non-cooperation was squirming when sat on or hot coffee spilled on him. |

Well it makes sense that its Anthony's room since he also supposedly moved in recently and probably didn't bring any furniture with him.
If it weren't for Tom's comment I would have thought that Annie would say Renard isn't in Anthony's house. Maybe she was trying to say that Anthony has some method of teleporting to his own house.

I wish they would have given Annie time to finish her sentence. What if... Tony was there ALL ALONG ? Like, he never quit the Court.. I always thought he was close, but still at the Court, hmm I don't know, it's possible. Some of the answers Tom gave about his whereabouts suggest the Court really didn't know where he was. I think this set up has all the trappings of a huge ef-up. I agree. You're kind of wrong. EDIT: WOOT! 500th post is a fart joke! Or should I say TOOT? You planned that didn't you? Congrats Gunner! |

Whoops, didn't notice your ? because it was buried in your post... Always wondered if Anthony was somewhere in the Court; that would explain why Antimony didn't have a guardian. ? If you have a child and you are leaving the country for an extended length of time typically you are required to appoint someone to act as a parent in your stead. Such a guardian would also be able to contact you in an emergency. This tends to apply to pocket principalities as well, though if the parent is just living/working in the neighboring larger country I hear exceptions can be made. Also it would be typical to inform Antimony of that appointment. Okay, the Donlans were looking after her but they didn't have contact information for Anthony or such a guardian when Antimony was injured. It is possible that Gunnerkrigg Court just plays fast and loose with such things but I think with the way he returned it's now probable that Anthony didn't leave the UK proper if he left the Court at all. I'll speculate he was heading up the surgery dept. of some major hospital.

So, who thinks we are going to find out a terrible secret about anthony that could make us think different about him. But he's given us such a positive impression already! How tragic it would be for us all if it turned out our good pal Tony has been keeping a dark secret from everyone, thus tarnishing his impeccable reputation |

Strange that they decide to enact the plan immediately, instead of waiting until hes distracted with the dinner. Makes you wonder just how far away the staff homes are from the student housing. Kats anguish in the last chapter at least suggests the dorms between the two years are significantly apart, though, so I'd imagine they've at least made safe estimates to how long it'd take for Anthony to return. Maybe that's why Kat was so eager to know when Anthony would arrive. Safer than waiting for him to leave home in case he'd return for something he forgot. Kat wanted to be in on this, and presumably she's required to be in attendance at the dinner.. |

Speculation: If their next *bip* is to the forest, not immediately back to Annie's place, Coyote might be able to break the 'ownership.' [...] And that will definitely not set off any alarm devices. |

Next page: They walk around to the other side of the chair to find... Can I just say I love you right now At first I didn't expect anything to be in that chair, but now you guys have got me thinking. I'm imagining an extremely grumpy Renard with his arms-crossed. The general emptiness of the room is pretty striking, though. Empty like Anthony's heart. |

Welcome to the forum, stuff! Thanks! I think I already know who the objectively coolest member is. :U CoyoteRebornReal talk, though... Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed those freaking floors. Say what you will about the guy's decorating, but he sure does know how to keep a place clean. |
