==Goals and Methods==
Like many multitriggers, they suffered from [[Kill/Kiss]] syndrome toward the others in their multi-trigger; each pair was very close to each other, but filled with animosity toward the other pair.

The two groups were on opposite "sides". The Fair cooperated with scientists, submitting to power testing and interviews, but the Foul refused.<ref>Discussion of dynamic.  Fair & foul on opposite sides post-trigger.  Only fair provided answers & allowed power testing, rest has to be inferred.  -  [[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref> This seems to suggest that the Fair were probably heroes and the Foul supervillains.

==History==
===Background===
The Stable triggered together, and rapidly split into two opposing teams.<ref name=":1">'''Case Study #2''': Fowl & Fair (foreign capes, names that follow are badly translated)<br>[...]<br>Discussion of dynamic.  Fair & foul on opposite sides post-trigger.  Only fair provided answers & allowed power testing, rest has to be inferred.  Handouts.<br>Some discussion of trigger event (see '''slides''' for images), some discussion of resulting ‘package’.  Powers for each individual distinct but play off each other in semi-complementary way.  Reflective of personality?  Or ‘guiding hand’ principle? - [[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref>

Although not explicit, it seems likely that their powers were divided as follows:

At some point, Oxfair was "turned into a grisly display".<ref name=":0" />

In 2005, they were mentioned in the article "Relationship Entanglement in Cluster-Triggers" as the most dramatic case of the [[Kiss/Kill]] dynamic in recent history.<ref name=":0" />

In 2009, they were used as a case study in Professor Spinky's Parahumans 303 class.<ref name=":1"/>
===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Although the originals were lost, references to the group were preserved in the restored Parahumans Online archives, where they were viewed by user [[of5]] while searching for details on multitriggers.<ref>[[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref>
==Trivia==
*Stáj is Czech for "stable",<ref>[[Stáj]], Lingea online dictionary</ref> as well as the name of a villiage in the Czech Republic,<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stáj_(Jihlava_District) Stáj (Jihlava District)], Wikipedia</ref> suggesting that the group were likely Czech.
*Their names suffered in translation; it is likely that the names given here only roughly correspond to the correct meaning.<ref name=":1" />
