Gunnerkrigg Court/Haiku

A red-haired cypher,
young scientist, fox demon:
Our protagonists.

New friends, psychopomps,
demons, robots, trickster gods:
Coolest school ever.

Ask around the court,
Everyone will agree.

Haunts the halls of Gunnerkrigg,
Not very scary.

Growing in a hidden room;
Memories bring tears.

Work, and you shall find."

While she waits for rain.

In the misty countryside.
Laser cows are cool.

Taught by old dog; true faces
Seen in the ether.

Alas! Kat can't sleep.
She'll do work to pass the time.
Then drools on the desk.

Zimmingham full of spiders
Zimmy saves tired Jack

An abandoned baby bird
It's very ugly.

Paz and a pigeon
Serve as catalyst for Kat
To cool her dudgeon

Thirty: Vengeful ghost
Forces Parley to confront
What is in her heart.

Has her mother's fire (in the
Most literal sense).

[Chapter 31: Fire Spike]
Harsh truths and flames fly
Bridges are singed, but not burnt
As one flame flies off

Rendezvoused with Microsat
Five, then flew away.
