I guess they were missing the Wood after living in the Court for a while, otherwise they would've been bothered by the distortion more... and they probably didn't see Ysengrin (or did see him going away). |

I wonder whether we'll find some members of the Court convinced they've crossed the Starry Ocean?

Well, this seems dubious.

Posting as usual without reading any comments first (but reading them after) ...
After heading toward a green lighted area of the forest they found themselves in, Annie and the rest discover a group of Tree Elves. One of them calls Annie "Court," but it's unclear whether this is anyone we've met before. They seem happy but admit that whatever's going on is strange.
Annie says they're trying to figure this out and get home. The various Tree People say that they were trying to get home too but found "this." They're assuming that the Court did this somehow (they say "we don't know how you did it," meaning they might be assuming that Annie herself did this, but I find it likely that since they called Annie "Court," they see her as a representative of the Court, especially since she's come to them with requests from the Court in the past, so "you" refers to the Court as a whole). They say that a new forest just sprang up, and that they like it, because it feels like home.
Then, as various Tree People interact with various New People in the background, Renard tells Annie that it's natural for the Tree Elves to feel more at home in any forest than in the Court.
The question this page raises first in my mind is precisely when this forest "sprang up." Was it when the distortion reached them, or when Annie envisioned sunlight through leaves? That is, have Annie and the others actually traveled, or have they merely altered their surroundings? But my first guess is that the forest sprang up when the distortion hit, because we saw it changing buildings into trees as it grew. It's very possible, then, that Annie actually did cause herself and the rest of the party to physically (and "less literally") move to this area.
But if they've moved, where have they moved to? Closer to the shore, or closer to the spot where Coyote and Loup converged on Zimmy and Gamma? Or farther away from both? Annie may want to ask Kat whether they've moved at all, since she seems to be the only one who can really tell for sure. My thought is that they've moved to where the Tree People were staying, which was one or more apartment buildings in the region near the Chester students – which means that's also where Zimmy and Gamma were living, though how close they were to that area when Coyote and Loup arrived is unclear.

The elves are in for some disappointment if Annie fixes things back to "normal."

Does Annie just assume all these guys are real despite everything she's experienced before in Zimmyspace? Or has she simply decided to roll with it and treat everyone she meets as if this was a big LARP?

Or has she simply decided to roll with it and treat everyone she meets as if this was a big LARP? Yes, that. I was really wondering why she didn't check them out in the ether. She checked out the NP, then seemingly lost her caution immediately. If I were her, I would have checked out the Coyote Ground Hog, the giant Ysengrin, and now, the elves.
Heck, I'd even have a look at the radio! And the trees! Having a power or ability and not using it is the same as not having it.

It may turn out to be the case that Antimony knows that she's now in one of her own memories/impressions and that the Ysengrin lurking and the friendly tree elves aren't real, therefore she won't learn anything useful by looking at them in the ether. I'd still be interested to see her look at them through the ether, though, just to see how that's portrayed (and also to find out if confronting that forces a backdrop change).

Despite the comments, they are almost certainly still within the boundaries of the court. A geek such as myself would be checking my position with Kat every time I entered a new area. Scene? Zone?  Perhaps Kat will eventually ask them why they aren't moving. I assume she'll keep tracking Annie (via the radio) until the batteries run out or it gets destroyed or something. |
