You do realize that you could have just told him that she was in danger and being pursued by strange people, and then said that he should read her blog to get the information so he could help her? He is determined now, so it probably won't work.

Someone already told him that, though.

[Scarab]

I'll try to convince him to read the blog. His argument is invalid.

I'm thinking you should drop the matter. I believe you're driving him insane. The plot's been determined. You can't alter it.

He is making a Suspiciously Specific Denial. I think I'm going to lose the argument, but, hell, I'm having fun doing it.

Urgh, I hope he's going to be okay, I don't want Don Quixote to get all caught up in this and accused of crimes he would in no way commit. Which could very well happen here if the framing thing goes through...

Still I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to build a convincing case against Don, at least here in the real world. It was never his phone, they'd easily be able to trace it to the real owner, especially now. If I weren't worried about interferring with a set plot then I'd say maybe convincing him to take the phone to the police might be a plan. Then again, a woman's life could be at stake...

Read his section quote. He's already insane.

Yes, that's the joke. Thanks for explaining it.

AFTER I wrote my message, thank you. (Though not before I posted) And I already said it was invalid unless you started. Read the entire manipulating insane people 101 please.

*deadpan* Sure, I'll do that. Just point me to the nearest supplier this side of the Wall.

Apologies. Blame this.

I was sarcastically referring to my post as that, but now that I think about it, that's a good idea for a textbook. Maybe I can make some royalties off of that...

Okay I tried telling him that she's in danger and he still won't budge. Should I (or someone) to tell him about our suspicions about Tripky?

I've already tried. As have others. No change in his behavior. He thinks Tripky is the perfect gentleman in love.

Negative. Like I said, now that he is emotionally invested in his rationalization of his actions, nothing we can do at the moment can convince him of such things. For the moment, we should begin to prepare ourselves some contingencies for when this goes to hell. Start planting seeds of information to make him act in a slightly more reasonable manner around her. For instance, tell him to not bring up this whole thing in a rather loud and hammy matter in public, but politely ask her if she could speak with him for a moment and then hold a quick private conversation. Excuse our attempts to mitigate the damage he can cause as modern etiquette. Bring up the concept we explained to him earlier of "evolving chivalric ideals" if he starts questioning you.

Alright, well I tried to ask him why Tripky would have those kind of photos of Tara on his phone if he was a perfect gentlemen. But he isn't responding this time. Maybe we can't do anything until the situation gets worse.

Edit: Okay he has now. Still not much progress.

Quixote's tweets brought Something to mind. On Tara's blog, she posted some photographs of herself. What do you think the odds are that they're the same photographs Quixote's talking about?

I'm sure that they are SOME of the photographs. There are still the ones from Mann's "photography session", and anything else that they got while stalking.

I'm not sure if you check her first set of posts she mentions that Mann took photos of her and "The photoshoot was… not what I envisioned." Whereas the guy who took those is called "Mark Leighty" and that he was trustworthy and he is not mentioned afterwards.

I suspect Mann/Tripky DLed the second set though, seeing as she just put them up on her blog for the public.

Also, I feel that it's interesting that Quixote is ignoring my requests to run a quick experiment to determine the extent of his inability to see his own story. Which in a metagame sense, probably means that the mods are trying to say it's unimportant right now.

Should I persist?

For the moment, probably not.

Who the hell is Deanna Hackins?

No bleedin' clue, Jackie. Another Damsel in Distress, it seems.

[NeverSlender]

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

It's hard to overstate our satisfaction.
