He's probably still a little despondent.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

... And Quixote's currently livetweeting his meeting with Holmes.

[JackAlsworth]

We finally got Tara's video.

[narrativedilettante]

In the Video:

The numbers 20 and 23, and the word MAY, are especially prominent.

[WackyMeetsPractical]

Is anybody here good at image enhancements? It would be really great to see what she has written on that calendar.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

I'm thinking the dates written/ circled may have something to do with the bloghacks. But I can't make sense of 'May' (unless it's a cypher key).

Meanwhile, Holmes has a plan!

The only date that corresponds is August 20th http://taracoulson.ezblog.twwf.info/?p=87#respond

Well, MAYBE it was circled because of the audition scheduled, but I think you're right; looking for blog connections is barking up the wrong tree. Darn.

I don't know how the calendar is significant, but it is. She could've picked any spot of her house to film that video, but she chose to film it there. She had the camera framed specifically to make sure the camera was in the shot. Otherwise, she would be more centered. She opened the calendar specifically to that month. Unless she's just an incredibly lazy person, there is no other reason for her calendar to be opened in May while the video was clearly shot just a few days ago.

I feel like it is the May Calendar. The dates do match up, with the first landing on a Tuesday and the 31st landing on a Thursday. As for why the word May is on the bottom as opposed to on the top, it's because there is no top. The very top of the page is the week header. So it wouldn't be odd for the Month name to be placed on the bottom instead. As to why it was handwritten, I don't think it is. I believe it was written over in marker so that it is plainly visible. Tara wanted Quixote to see the month, to somehow figure out it was significant.

Everything to me seems to point to Tara intentionally leaving clues. But I can't figure out why she would leave hints, as opposed to just telling Quixote what she knows. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws. It does seem unlikely that Tara would know anything and that she would want to reveal it in cryptic clues, but I can't think of any other reason why she would allow the calendar to be placed in the shot. That's not a normal way to frame a shot!

Also, mind you, she intended this video to be a message to Quixote, and she knew he is not the brightest bulb on the tree.

For the sake of having all the info in one place, I'd advise you to move the video discussion to her case.

Quixote, upset after speaking to Mrs. Loverose, is now headed for the rose garden of the Woodland Park Zoo.

I suspect that the Rose Garden will soon be confirmed as an echo location.

...And it has been.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

And he's being followed.

Edit: by Mrs. Loverose. What the heck...?

[WackyMeetsPractical]

Quixote's being followed.

Ninja'd, but leaving the link.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

And now Deanna STILL knows everything...
She's really getting creepy. If she's not MlF or J's fiancee, I will be very surprised.

Update: Binky has run away. Deanna claims to have something to do with this.

[JackAlsworth]

I look forward to the deductions you two come up with. Really, Poirot would've done as well, but Holmes is fine.

Now she's just getting annoying. I'm liking the "Deanna is working for the Cabal" angle more and more.

[Dryunya]

Technically, she may be able to trace DQ -> Holmes -> Holmes' blog -> Poirot's blog. The question is, why the f? Why is she so interested!? Even according to Cabal's chat, Holmes and Quixote are taken by Moriarty and Phantom, respectively. Besides, the latter has already tried - remember the letter?
WHO IS SHE!? It gets creepier and creepier with every post! She doesn't even attack, and she seems to be genuinely interested in their results!

I'd guess she is Tohya Miho if I didn't know better.

Quixote and Holme's investigation of Mann's apartment has begun. There's clumps of hair on the floor. They're looking for a man with a nervous twitch. It turns out to be Hope's. And now they're investigating the windows.

Edit: And now Quixote has found something in the dumpster

[JackAlsworth]

So Hope had a gun.

O.o

[Sicon112]

Please tell me that they are not about to pull a "He shot Tara through the wall with a military issue sniper rifle" plot twist. If so, I already thought of that, but I didn't think they would actually do it because, you know, a giant hole in the wall is pretty noticeable. One would think that the cops AND Holmes would have found that first time through the apartment.

This brings us to the question of how the hell they hid the hole, and who did it. Possibly Loverose in on the conspiracy? But if the cops were competent, both they and Holmes would have turned the place inside out. As far as I can tell, Holmes arrived minutes after the murder took place, so what could have been done in that time?

Then again, maybe Loverose has nothing to do with it and they are about to pull out some other explanation, which will probably be impossible to guess unless one sees the interior of the room.

[Victin]

Uh... What does this mean?

[Scarab]

Uh... What does this mean?

I think Deanna is dropping hints that she has also guessed what we already figured -whatever was used to kill Tara, it was not a sniper rifle.

...I am so totally sure this woman is Morgan.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

The question is, why's she helping us (albeit in a super-creepy way)?
As a show of goodwill?
Because even if they help us solve this, the amount of knowledge she's showing about what the murderers did does NOT help us not suspect them with implicitness in the crime.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

Double-post because THIS.

Finally, confirmation that Deanna had SOMETHING to do with the Cabal.

Though, I mean, it's nice to be right and all, but this really sheds NO light on the situation.

But what does she mean about "another source of fictionals?" Could she lead us to the source of the fourth wall disturbances?
