Gunnerkrigg Court

I don't know why but I just remembered that Brinnie existed. I wonder if she's going to show up at some point.

Nah if he was one of the Fair Folk, he'd have more interesting hair.

Is there a Norwegian in the cast? If they die in battle, I'm sure Brinnie will be there to take them to Valhalla.

Not that I know of. It seems like everyone in the comic is from the United Kingdom although there could be a person with Nordic ancestry that we don't know about.

Mainly from the UK, but there are exceptions. Paz is Spanish, Jeanne was French. Gamma... we don't know how recently she (or her parents) immigrated to Birmingham, so I don't know which she counts as.

~Smacks forehead~

Wow, somehow I completely forgot about Paz and Gamma. Kat's family could also be from Eastern Europe. I guess the Court is based in the UK but it's willing to investigate different parts of Europe if it thinks there are noteworthy people there.

Anja is Roma...I think Donald's British, but I can't remember for sure.

Scottish, I think.

Now that I'm caught up, are there any Makes Sense In Context. ChekhovsGuns, BrickJokes of import that I may have missed? Stuff like the headmaster telling Jones he's disturbed when she hasn't seen something before, way back when Coyote and Ysengrin were introduced and well before Jones was explained.

Since Gamma only speaks Polish pretty sure she must be a recent immigrant. Kat I'm pretty sure was born and bred in the UK, her mother I'm not sure of.

Kat was born in the UK but I think her mother sometimes has an accent. Roma are more common in Eastern Europe so it's possible she's foreign.

Her accent was much stronger when she was a student as well. And of course Brinnie wasn't from the UK.

So Rey gets 'misplaced' and is 'found' a few hours later by Kat, who is totally not shoving a sewing robot out of sight. What odds?

And when Renard doesn't speak or mode for Anthony, Annie is punished for not fully transferring Reynard's loyalty.

I doubt Anthony would give a damn so long as he believed it was actually Renard. An immobile, unresponsive doll would not be very convincing.

How small can robots get? (Thinks of the weather bot.)

Somehow, I doubt a robot would be able to fool him, especially since I'd give even odds that it would call her mommy or angel the moment it saw her.

And would be incapable of showing him a larger wolf form on command.

Anthony is, by all evidence shown, very much not an idiot.

@Rotpar

Before Paz's talks-to-animals thing was revealed in-comic, there was a mention of it here. It also adds context to her excitement at seeing cows (and her disappointment over them being robots).

There's some more on the main page under the tropes you mentioned.

The Jotaro school of posture!

A good use for George's teleporting would be to nab Rey from Tony's room while he's out.

Oh, for the good old care free days of laser cows.

Those days are long gone.

And everyone comes out to see them off.
