We were probably supposed to recognize the connection of the names before now.

Now...
Why do they want Cinderella? Probably because we haven't found her yet; all the other fictionals, to some degree or another, we've built up a level of trust with, so they'll be hesitant to actively work against us even if they want to stay. Cinderella they know we haven't touched, so for that alone she's worthy as an ally. Plus now that we know who they all are, and we can assume they know this, they probably wanted a new recruit whom we can't identify so easily (at least they're foiled on that front).

And on another note, I don't think Holmes needing help with the riddles is a sign he's dumbing down-- I think that's just a property of the game; if there are riddles, we as the players should be solving them. You'll notice whenever we gave him answers Holmes confirmed that he was "thinking along the same lines".

One other possibility about Sandy/Cindy: The only characters we have who could possibly do the teleportation thing are Peter Pan (too far away and random); Mr. A (but he wouldn't do something like this without telling us); and the Cat (no real basis that he can teleport, but no reason why he can't). Think this is worth asking Metaneko about?

That was including Cinderella (we'd identified her and confirmed her presence already, even though we hadn't *found* her yet).

My exact point.

Mr. A still said we've found everyone that matters. So. I guess these will not join the party.

The description Holmes got from the receptionist fits him, mostly.

Holmes seems to suspect she may have been killed or something. I want to know what Mr. A can tell us. You would think that the death of a fictional would send some pretty violent ripples; something A would pick up on.

@YouHaveFailedUs http://londontales.ezblog.twwf.info/?p=150 Do you have any information on Cinderella's situation?

Look good?

No but she appears to be the prisoner of the Cabal. That could be worse

Money, Dear Boy? Holmes needs to make a living somehow I suppose.

I think we should hold off on that, until we get an idea of how he's going to play this. We don't want him getting the wrong idea and arresting Quixote.
