You know, I've been thinking, and I have come to the conclusion that
[] Ask Morgan what she's thinking about, and why Karen would trick us.
Was both the worst possible write in they could come up with and the most
personally infuriating one, both at myself as a past voter, and at current voters in general
Just…
Review our relationship with Morgan so far critically for a moment
She begins with lies.
With pretending that she doesn't know that a "torch" means a flashlight, despite the later revelation that she is from a magical society based in
England. So that the possibly dangerous magical creature doesn't have reason to get upset at the clocktower.
The next day:
"I said last night, no way in hell I'm letting you out of my sight." She falls back to a walking pace by your side. "I don't care about the town, I just want to find interesting things. You will do perfectly. Interesting things are bound to happen around you, practically a win-win. I'll teach you about magic-things and you bring interesting things to me!"
Despite the fact that she was
sent there to find out what happened to the town. She only doesn't care because she found the cause, us.
Then she acts like she is going to follow us to find interesting things and leads us to the clocktower instead of following us. She calls Karen and gets a plane to get ready to pick us up whenever. Tells the people at the rest stop that we were "rich kids on an adventure" with our mother sending someone to pick us up,
before she even told us about sending a plane.
Assuming we'd go along with her. To the point she included us in a cover story that relied on it. That would bring
suspicion on the story if we didn't go with her if the plane came and only she went.
Then later at the clocktower she lies about having always wanted to be a scout, which I had been able to deduce from the fact that she had worked to get the credentials to be a teacher already at 16.
Why would she lie?
To make it seem like the clocktower didn't stop her from pursuing that dream in any way.
She is the
quintessential example of a person who has lied to us to get us to get us on side of the clocktower
Why on earth would asking for her perspective be anything close to a good idea right now
This is something that has been
discussed in thread before.
I had posted all those points before.
… Yet no one, myself included, really gotten properly upset with it.
I just thought it
interesting
We never really
thought.
So eager to follow plot hooks and make friends.
Going at the first plot hook to get us. Joining an organization which the first person we met was fine with manipulating us.
Us being tricked by Karen is an echo of us being tricked by Morgan.
The closest person in the organization to us is fine with lying to us for the organization sake, why the
hell should we have expected the top to be any different.
Especially when Morgan was assigned to watch over us.
Assigned to lie to us to keep us on board with the clocktower.
Absolutely
maddening in retrospect.
Choosing to get Morgan's opinion here is symbolic of an almost willful ignorance on the thread's part.
In the first place we probably shouldn't have chased after plot threads given by a group that seemed willing to m anipulate us in the first place.
We needed to be known by Morgan, and from her the rest of the magical community, because we needed to actually explain why we were going to set a forest on fire, but the moment that she went from saying that she is following us because interesting things happen around magical girls to straight up calling a plane to pick us up to meet her boss without any input from us, we should have seen the signs and parted ways, I think.
