Two posts for the price of one!

Two rapid-fire updates. Consolidated into one thread.

I can't take this anymore. I've left five messages for Scarlett, and still haven't got hold of her. I know I shouldn't be trying to keep hold of her every minute of the day, I know she can take care of herself, I know, as Caine keeps telling me, that she's a big girl now. But I really can't take it anymore. I'm going to call Kurt and get him to search for her key. Just so I know where she is.

I'm usually pretty good at controlling my emotions, or at least controlling the appearance of emotion. That's how I make the money which keeps me in my rather nice apartment in a rather swish part of town, after all. So I'm not hyperventilating, or fiddling with my pencils, or scratching my upper arms in a telltale way. But I'm going to have to leave the library soon because otherwise my carefully-controlled veneer of calm will peel off and I'll just start screaming or hitting things. Scarlett is not OK. I know she's not. She left me this message, and all it does is convince me even more urgently that she's not OK. And you know and I know how very many kinds of not-OK are available for consumption in Perplex City these days. Someone's taken Scarlett. And my dad's in prison, and I can't see the police believing me, and I just don't know what to do. But I'll think of something.

so it's quirky, path, and quirky again? cool. could someone post a transcript of what scarlett said? i'm at work, and can't hear it for 1/2hour. lame imo. guess the 3P got her, and wait.....she's not CT is she? was that her"ive been farther than anyone we know" line was it?

edit: surly not, CT'd delt with death, scarlett's not dealing with 1 at all..... but then again.......??!

Hi Vi it's me, it's Scarlett. [pause] I've, well, I've I've found something out and I need to [pause] look I'm gonna investigate something OK? I'll be away for a while [pause] don't worry Lettie, everything's fine, I'm fine [phone-down tone]


I'm tempted to agree that she's not fine. The pauses are a little strange...is there anything else in there. In work so can't turn it up much louder...they want to know why someone's calling me Lettie and who Scarlett is.

In my opinion that sounds exactly like the sort of message you'd give if you had been captured and forced to say "everything is ok" at knifepoint (do they have guns in Perplex City??).

her calling her sister he own name makes me very afraid for her. kinda crepps me out. BLASTED it at home. theres nothing else there ....then again, could have just made me deaf, so i could not be hearing anything else for that reason...... either way, i've thought about all this for a tick, and :


how could Sente have an earth object in his house unless:
1. he's CT (duh)
2. he knows someone who HAS been to earth(someone who is CT, duh!)

and further spec* about the break in...(this one's F*ing P-I-M-P):
the 3P must have known that
1.Sente would not be home
2.the girls would not be home either. (now this case makes me wonder about Caine....that and where is he now? wasn't he in charge of siting lette?)

===>so to make a long spec short(too late) whoever ransaked Sente's house must have had something to do with him being put in jail in the 1st place.....why else would someone get him arrested.....and who wanted to do that? N.Earlywine, that's who. so if earlywine wanted to check through sente's house for earth objects (or t3h k00b, or k00b kl00's) and not tell anyone in pxc that he found something, this would be the only way... the girls would be the only sketch factor about ransaking the place, unless they didn't care about fighting them. (sente know kung fu?)

spec rant off* *DH thinks he got it all out.*
edit: i didn'tget it all out. my spec point was that Earlywine was realy 3P, and i went one step further and thought he was either "V" or the #1 man V works for......(lol, who does number two work for??!-Austin powers)

I'm kind of with you on the "3P got Sente arrested" bit, but I'm less sure that Earlywine is 3P - more likely, someone in his close employ is 3P aand has some major influence. What was that guy in LOTR - Wormtongue?

I'm not entirely sure i fFollow your entire logic there, Darkhuman. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know Sente isn't home, and the smallest amount of espionage would show scarlett has been staying with caine or violet (recall violet has her own place on the strip). Actually it's possible THEY planned on kidnapping Scarlett in the middle of the night, and since she wasn't there, they simply trashed her house (though not terribly likely: the 3P don't make mistakes).

However, I have absolutely no doubts Earlywine is 3P. I've been saying that fFor months. I think what you are trying to say is that he is making stern moves to get Sente out of office, undermining him at every turn. Striking him at work, at home, and now his fFamily.

I don't know if Earylwine is the big boss, however. It seems like he could be another cog in the grand agenda. #2, or #3, or #4 or something.

well if I had to rob someone, and i could either put them in jail via red tape, or chance they might stop buy their own house while i'm destroying EVERYTHING, i think i'd stick 'em in the can for a bit. E=V that's all i'm sayin', lol. *darkhuman crawls back under the rock he calls home*.

You know, I had mostly taken it as given that, yes, Sente helped Cahill cheat in the PCAG. I can entirely absolutely see that, and neither daughter has even attempted denying the possibility. Not directly addressing the matter, anyway. But it just thi smoment occurred to me that you are implying he was fFramed. the evidence against him was "discovered" by the Academy Oversight committee, who obviously has every reason to want to implicate sente in things illegal. Still, the Committee is made up of several Sente-loyalists. Earlywine is not above anything, but I think the committee is mostly bipartisan, so I'm not sure.

Actually it was "Who is number One" as needed.

You are Number Six!

But seriously . . . I think that what we need to do is threefold:

1) We need to find out what kind of Earth artifact Sente had.
2) We need to find out where the 3P are.
3) We need to get the location to the Scoobies, see what kind of favors they can call in, and let 'em go all Rainbow Six on these 3P creeps if possible. (Normally, I'd say we ought to sic a bunch'a Reavers on them, but not with Scarlett in the line of fire . . . )

I'm trying to resist a post about number ones and number twos.

Are all the blogs authorised? I seem to remember that they're not, but I don't know for sure. If they've been found (which I presme they would have if the communications from the 3P have been investigated fully) then reopening the link would also allow monitoring of our communications.

Most of my other thoughts on the sudden resumption of communication are meta and make me wonder whether stuff has been put together as a welcome diversion from cube-hunting?
