Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
That's it. Coyote has officially moved from creepy to ****ing terrifying.
Truth resists simplicity.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Keep in mind Coyote said he would "Keep hold of it" instead of "get rid of it". Does that imply that he plans to USE THEM down the line? The first thing that comes to mind is that he can cripple Yssengrim with guilt with these memories when he wants to, but that implies he would need to do so. Perhaps he plans to turn him into a berzerker?

Oh. I guess Coyote is evil then.
I didn't know that.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Coyote is large. He contains multitudes. He isn't human, and trying to slot him into a human system of morality is bound to end badly. I complained earlier in the thread that I was hoping to get a reminder of the fact that Coyote isn't (just) a harmless prankster, and I'm very much satisfied.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Oh, yeah. Coyote knows how to turn the creepy up to 11.
Anyone else notice that that's not Coyote's paw doing that? It's Ysengrin's tree-armor hand.Last edited by John Campbell; 2012-09-14 at 01:03 PM.
Play your character, not your alignment.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Pretty sure that's just Coyote's hand. He has them sometimes.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
No he didn't. He was just retconed into existence by belief.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
But why then would he ask Annie to ask Jones re: the stars? It wasn't mentioned to Ysengrin, and I'm not sure that a mention of Jones i.e. Wandering Eye would serve to affect the situation. No, I'm thinking that Coyote put forth the theory to drive apart Ysengrin and Annie, but that it would only be a happy side-effect to his true aim, which is probably either to expose Wandering Eye and force her back to the Forest, or to get Jeanne out of the Annan Waters in order to leave the Court defenseless against him. Or something else entirely, it's not as though we mere mortals can figure out why something like Coyote would do anything.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
While it is true that there are outliers, it is also true that much of humanity for a large portion of our history has had certain commonalities in their beliefs on what is ethical and acceptable. It is hard to lay down specific tenants of "our" morality, but common broader principles can be found in our earliest written records.
There are humans out there who believe that anything is acceptable, so long as you can get away with it, but a significant portion of the human population would not agree with this position and would have some degree of commonality in the things they did agree upon as acceptable, even if the details did differ significantly.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Word! That is a convenient - and disturbing - placement of Coyote's head. Would Ysengrin make his humanoid body anatomically correct? There would be no reason for that, but still...
And Yse is back to normal. Which is horrific now that we know what his 'normal' consists of.
RE Coyote being evil by human standards: Yes, he may be. His methods certainly seem to be. But we'll have to know what he's trying to do before we can say for sure. One thing I think we can assume is that this brings to an end for the foreseeable future Annie's visits to the Forest. Coyote won't be able to allow Annie and Ysengrin together again without risking her saying something about this incident, and Ysengrin either losing it - again - or realizing his mind is being tampered with.
