Which is very, very appropriate. Yes it is; but the link works for me. Someone else created that monstrosity for the discussion of #528. I was the one that brought this monstrosity into being. I feel sorry for all the discomfort I caused

Antimony is still angry, and based on what she knows she's still justified in being angry.
Hopefully this time she'll check for further facts before mouthing off, though.

well, we know that Annie already doesn't quite get along with Muut, so I'm not all that surprised by the cool attitude with which she treats him. Ketrak didn't seem to say anything about the ant though (Muut does make up for that though).
On an amusing note, when Annie asks Ketrak to get Muut, I have this odd image of Ketrak shouting over his shoulder into a large, filled room, yelling "Muut! phone call for you!" >>;

Does anyone else think that Annie is downright rude? Insolent and rude, and I wonder how long she is going to get away with it. While she may have mistakenly believed to be justified when confronting Mort, there is no such justification now. For all her gifts and for all she knows, she seems to be missing something in the basic human decency department, and there is no one around (such as, say, her father) to teach her.

I guess this is the reason she's not the only one training to be a medium...

As a result, while he's not at all creepy like Ketrak,... I sort of pictured Ketrack as the exact opposite, like this. Then again, I'm still confused why Muut looks like that dude from the Village People.

I guess this is the reason she's not the only one training to be a medium... Then the Court's hopes will have to rest on Smith, since Parley seems completely unsuited for mediumship - not only because she has no etheric talents (so far - but I have my doubts over whether even Parley Sr. was a true psychic), but also because she has absolutely no sense of diplomacy and tact whatsoever. But I think it likely that Annie will mature out of these faults as time goes on; she's probably already learned from the Mort incident not to jump to conclusions.

I am curious how Kat reconciles psychopomps in her science-head. Extra-dimensional entities? Kat's skepticism is very selective, she don't believe in magic but she had no problems with Mort being a ghost. Skepticism demands that you require evidence before accepting extraordinary claims, not that you refuse to believe them no matter what. If you've seen the freaky insect spirit being who shows up when an insect dies, it's not unreasonable to believe in him (especially give all the other weird stuff Kat sees). Anyway, she dislikes the use of "magic" as a way of preventing further inquiry into how something works (I think Tom jokingly described the Etheric Tenet as "it just works, okay?"). She doesn't seem to have the same objections once Anja starts talking about understanding and building etheric technology. I think Kat would have no objection to learning about the psychopomps as long as no one tries to stop her from asking what souls are made of or how they interact with the physical brain or whether they have measurable speed, position, volume, or mass, etc.

I don't know; now I'm thinking about what Jones said about humans using their structure and protocol to make the animals seem like stupid beasts. Also, look at Coyote's idea of diplomatic protocol when Annie visits the forest. I think the denizens of Gillite might really like Parley.

Then again, I'm still confused why Muut looks like that dude from the Village People. The most horrible rendition of YMCA is now playing thru my head. Well, between that and the horrifying image of Ketrak (No, I'm not talking about the xenomorph.), this thread is seriously starting to give me the willies. Okay, now that I have that out of my system, on to Kat's reaction. To me at least, she's looking far from turned-on. My theory? Her whole bird fetish thing wasn't nearly as deep as she thought. Mooning over the departed Aly was one thing. It was cute and romantic, but it was also safe, since he was gone and showed no sign of coming back. Being confronted with a real, live birdman (for a given value of both real and live, anyway) was quite another. I'm sure Kat is far from the first person to discover that some fantasies are a lot more fun if they remain fantasies. Or, a slight variation: maybe Kat knew this all along, and the whole "I like birds" thing was more in the way of a joke. We've seen in the past that she enjoys (gently) teasing Annie. If that was what was going on, it's easy to see how she'd be a bit out of sorts in a "put up or shut up" situation...

Having seen and interacted with several of them, she cannot deny their existence. I don't think she would be one to shy away from exploring their nature.

Am I the only one who finds it ... interesting... that we haven't seen Reyardine since Annie encountered him via blinking?

Am I the only one who finds it ... interesting... that we haven't seen Reyardine since Annie encountered him via blinking? If the implication is the theory "Reynardine possessed Annie when she was using the Blinker Stone to spy on him" (which would explain that - since that old body would revert to wolf plush doll permanently, without him animating it, and the sight of it would tell us that something was wrong), I think it unlikely. For one thing, I don't think that Reynardine would know anything about hospital procedures, Mort giving Annie the Blinker Stone, or Ketrak and Mort (at least, he was not present at any of those events), all of which Annie shows awareness of since the spying incident. (Of course, Reynardine might gain access to the memories and knowledge of those whom he possesses - we don't know as yet, and Tom's not answering any more questions about his abilities.) I don't think that Reynardine would have felt any remorse over hurting Mort's feelings, either. Not to mention that if Reynardine *did* possess Annie, she'd be dead and the story would be logically over (unless she's narrating it as a ghost roaming the Court or some frantic "reset button" incident takes place).
