I love the way this new arc is going. And I still say that the golden ring was stolen from someone that Zach knows.

Re: 2014/11/07 - A Little Birdie Told Me
The location of Babylon Gardens hasn't been revealed, but I believe it's in the Midwest (which is well within the Americam Magpie's range). It's entirely possible Cory calls all corvids "magpies," since not everyone is an aviary expert and a wild skunk who presumably isn't literate can't be reasonably expected to know such trivial details. American Magpies also are not, as far as I know, typically blue. Trinket could be any variety or none, a generic bird.sokahu wrote:OK, I hate to be that person, but...I thought they lived near the east coast? American Magpies only live on the west coast.

From the pictures I have seen, it seems that they have some blue.

By overlapping maps of the ranges of both opossums (Jessica) and black-beaked magpies (Trinket), I have created a map of potential states where Babylon Gardens could be located: Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, California, Oklahoma, and Texas. (I left out Kansas because it had to be travelled to in order to visit Bailey).dtlux1 wrote:From the pictures I have seen, it seems that they have some blue.

If we are to understand that Babylon Gardens is located in the Midwest, we could eliminate California, Washington, and Oregon. I wonder if I'm going to be censored for posting this (cover-up).
Or Rick will throw in some random forest animals to throw us off and wreck the theory of animals being native to respective areas in connection with our universe.

Again, don't assume a particular species or variety. *giggles* Even if your assumption is correct, ferals are known to hitchhike and could otherwise wind up outside a given "range." This happens in our world, too, albeit without thumbing.

Trinket probably got lost and that is how she ended up in the gardens because her sense of direction stinks. xD
Re: 2014/11/07 - A Little Birdie Told Me
We can narrow it down further using the map I previously created showing where they could be based on driving distance from locations in Kansas. Eliminate the darkest blue circle-ish-square area (which is less than nine hours from any location in Kansas) and you get:Douglas Collier wrote:

There's the ring, or better, there it was. The magpie is correct, anyway, it's your fault, Cory. The proposition was going to be good. Humble skunk? And the magpie was flying over there for pure coincidence? All is looking fake (in particular, Cory's reaction to the theft) and smells of organized scam... What are they searching from Zach? If really there are Pete and Spirit Dragon behind them, the finality can get more sense...
What could Zach do to go away from they? It's a Cory's problem, now, if it really exists...

True. However, I don't think ferals have much access to cars (those two never did figure out how to drive that thing). Though birds probably don't have much need for cars.Frank wrote:You know animals can just ride or drive in this world, right? They don't have to be restricted to their original ranges
Come to think of it, I don't think we've seen Falstaff since then. I'm not so sure he made it back to Babylon Gardens. It'd be funny to see a strip or an arc showing him finally arriving all haggard from an incredible 8 month journey.

I dont think those two ferals are locals, if they are true scammers, scammers dont stay too long in one place and they doesnt look two know Zach is the opener of ways, even Jess who dont believe in him know who he is. I think they just arrived the zone, so their species and usual location for them are not something that tell us too much about where BG is located

Chekebello is right they are almost definitely out of town. It is only common sense to steal something from one place and then inconspicuously sell it somewhere completely different in order to prevent suspicion.

Well, I'm going to jump on the band wagon and suspect that the true identities of Cory and Trinket are Pete and Dragon, respectively. I wonder what is the deal with the ring and why Cory was so trusting in having Zach pawn it... That thieving magpie stole my precious.
Also, I too suspect that Babylon Gardens is located somewhere east of the Rockies, considering the four seasons they seem to experience each year.

Pretty sure Pete was the only talking "birdy" we have seen so far, even if he wasn't an actual bird. I'm still going with my theory that (spoilered bubblegum to not annoy other people with said theory):
Pete is Cory and Dragon is Trinket
