Pronoun Trouble | |
Bone Dance / int_7b7f90d5 | comment |
Pronoun Trouble: Sparrow is neither male nor female, and as such, causes some confusion among some other characters at one point. When a hoodoo ceremony is performed, Sparrow is referred to as "this person" wherever the pronouns usually would go. | |

Bone Dance / int_a698ad42 | comment |
City with No Name: The setting is only referred to as The City, though there are enough locations specified to indicate that it used to be Minneapolis, where Bull was living at the time. | |

Shout-Out | |
Bone Dance / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At one point, Sparrow listens to an old album; it isn't named, but the lyrics are from Another Way to Travel by Cats Laughing, of which Bull was a member. | |

Bone Dance / int_d087a0b6 | comment |

The Mole | |
Bone Dance / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Mick Skinner is working, if unwillingly, for Tom Worecski. Ironically, Frances works this out immediately, but when she finds out she's wrong about where Tom is she assumes she must be wrong about this as well. | |
