Even though our sweet, loving, and kind protagonist has gotten a coffin full of tapes, we haven't heard tape 1# yet. Curious.

It continues to bother me that he isn't going to the cops about this.

In MH and TT most of the manifestations are of the sort which don't really leave behind enough evidence to bother the cops with. (And I think in TT Noah actually has called the cops and they've decided he's a nuisance.) In EMH they actually do call in the cops but all the evidence disappears so they're no longer trusted. But here, this guy has enough stuff on tape (like footage of him being kidnapped ON THE KIDNAPPER'S YOUTUBE) to get the cops to take him seriously and he's not taking the obvious step.

I mean, the two choices thing is cool, but both of the choices are clearly stupidly dangerous and there's still no good reason for him to co-operate beyond the implied threat of more harassment (as though it's just going to stop when he visits one of those locations or something - yeah, right). There's no reason not to just go to the cops and let them search both locations.

He doesn't need to go into that much detail.

I don't seriously expect anything to come of him going to the cops, of course, it wouldn't be much of a story then, but there needs to be some reason why they can't help him. Especially when there seem to have been very human agents involved in this situations - humans who presumably can be arrested and interrogated - it's frustrating that the series doesn't acknowledge the possibility of going to the police, even to close it off. All it would take would be a single line about him going to the police but them laughing it off and sending him away and that'll be enough. Or even some bullshit line about how he was considering going to the police but he kind of wants to sort this thing out himself because there's stuff he wants to do to Helper that the police would get in the way of.

It's the fact that he isn't even considering the option of going to the cops, even to the extent of thinking about it and then rejecting it, which is currently hurting suspension of disbelief for me.

Then...perhaps there is a reason he's not telling you? Usually he's very good about responding to things like that.

Eh, either way, doesn't bother me much. Other series often sort of brush the cops under a rug with an awkward excuse as to why they're not helping. That often takes me out of the game more than anything else.

So I voted house. So is this where we're finally going to run into Masky? Roivas?

Still, I'm also curious about what's in those woods, and how much this is going to piss helper off. What's he gonna come after caught with next? A whole fucking wall?

Or maybe he just doesn't want the cops finding his weed stash.
