If she answers "Jones" I would congratulate Tom for being the worst ever.

She's one of Coyote's eyes that wished to see things other than from Coyote's perspective, so he gave her a body and a way to interact with the world.

The catch is that she has no emotions to feel the world, just experience it.

‘The principle of individuation,’ i.e. that whereby a thing is its own singular self, and not the universal specific nature of the species to which it belongs—that whereby Jones is Jones, and not man in general—must seem to an unscholastic mind a quaint conceit. Like most difficulties in philosophy, it grows by thinking, and is no difficulty at all to the irreflective mind. A first solution might be this: as the universal cannot exist in its universality, but every existence must be singular, the existence of the thing itself is the principle of its individuation.

After all, the question was not "under what category do you fall" but "what are you".

[Epamynondas]

So Jones is a stone?

That makes a lot of sense, actually.

[mysteriousOutsider]

"like a field and some hills or whatever"

[Triangle Man]

Anne finally thinks to do the logical thing and asks about Jones' identity outright.

The audience leaps into wild applause for this watershed moment in the comic.

This sounds likely.

[xeroticDeceiver]

This sounds likely.

It sounds irritating, to me. But only because it goes against my personal preference that Jones is some sort of balancing force or free agent.

I find it irritating, too, but it's the best idea I could come up with. It would explain why Coyote insists on calling her "The Wandering Eye".

So, this is pretty much the first time a chapter immediately began after the events of the previous chapter, huh?

I secretly hope that it's not this, mostly because people guessed that she was this a long time ago and it would be boring for her to turn out to be the thing that everyone thought.

Maybe Annie sat on her duff for a couple of months working up the courage to ask the question, and then she suddenly remembered after frolicking in the forest again. YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!

But okay yeah it really depends on what you mean by immediate. Like, the transition between 36 and 37 could have been minutes, but it could have been hours depending on how you look at it.

Yeah I somehow doubt she's just calmy going back to the forest anytime soon. Shit be fucked up.

[Druplesnubb]

My guess is that she's the eye Odin sacrificed to Mimir's well for wisdom. It seems to fit since we already have a valkyrie who's probbably gonna play a bigger role in the story soon.

[chimericWilder]

But what is she doing out of her well, then?!

Excuse me, but im going to put Jones back in the box. Er, well.

[Nimz]

Clearly Parley is the one Jones chose. MYSTERY SOLVED!

[Bandages]

Jonathan is like a zombie or something I swear

[mysteriousOutsider]

Jones is a flashback

confirmed

[Dentrala]

Jones is a flashback

confirmed

i have opinions and this is outside my headcanon

i see jones as a future sort of gal

[Darlos9D]

Ah, well, I knew the question wouldn't be answered RIGHT away.

But if the question doesn't get answered AT ALL by the end of this chapter I'll start getting legit upset. Tom can't just dangle mysteries over our head into infinity.

[deathsbuddy]

I'm pretty sure Parley was Jones' recommendation.

[Triangle Man]

I laughed a bit when I saw the most recent update.

Well Played, Siddell. Well Played.

[unbridledExüberance]

Cross posting this from the GKC forums (exuberancium is me, incase that wasn't obvious)

I don't think Tom's trying to trick us here: I would be quite surprised if Annie wasn't Jones' recommendation. Consider this:
Annie has been to the forest multiple times, and not only has she spoken with Coyote, Ysengrin, and Shadow, but she also made friends with the forest people and spent a summer there living with them. How better to understand them then to live with them for a while? Plus, Annie pretty much makes it her job to solve other people's problems: she's helped Zimmy and Gamma a few times, is trying to free Jeanne's spirit (granted, Jones (probably) doesn't know about that), helped a shadow man get back home then took him when his family rejected him, befriended a lonely ghost, and after Ysengrin attacked her she felt pity instead of rage and just wants to help him. Not to mention her experience as a young child when she helped the "undead" boy and the Psychopomps.

What more could you possibly want in a medium?

Now let's take a look at Parley:
She's uh... said one sentence to Ysengrin and Coyote.

...

Yeah.
She'd probably make a decent medium, but she doesn't exactly have experience.

Okay, Parley also wants to help Jeanne, but Jones (probably) doesn't know about that. And she did get along with Mort after a bit of a- er- fumble at the begining, but she's still eclipsed by Annie when it comes to being a medium. Annie is just a natural fit.
