Do they know just how trivial the name thing is to the humans?

Yeah, but humans all get a name at birth, so they don't grow up with the proper perspective on how important it is to have a name. And besides, humans also think having your hair go up doesn't make much difference compared to letting them fall down, so obviously human opinions are, at best, dubious.

Well, City Face does take place in the future (since we saw Kat rescue baby City Face) so that adds up. Glad she's so successful, everyone is using RED cameras these days.

Wonder why Parley didn't just bip into existence right next to them. Texting seems like a pointless exercise for someone with instant teleportation. You'd spend more time fiddling with autocorrect than you would by just appearing and saying 'I'm back!'

Also good to see that the vaguely defined 'now' of GC has moved into the smartphone era.

Dude think about that for a second:

Teleporting right next to someone when they aren't excepting you is a TERRIBLE idea. They might be going to the bathroom or getting dressed or doing any number of private things they wouldn't want another person around for. It's much better to text them first then let them come to you; give them time to get ready and stuff.

She only texted him because she's gonna be a big jerk who doesn't trust the forest anymore and this will need to be revealed in a thematically appropriate setting. Probably gonna have a big heavy door creaking open first panel, with Parley and the headmaster sharing a frown in the second.

Smit face's powers don't prevent him from humiliating or embarrassing situations as we have seen.

Also Parley just got home, maybe she wanted a few minutes to decompress?
