So if we vote the check suspiciouns option - we are voting to be suspicious.
I ask again - do we have reason to be suspicious? Because frankly we need the extra hands enough I'd be tempted to put her to work immediately and hurry with Calypso to get additional rooms set up to fix the room cap problem with the magical girl newbies being essentially drag netted by the older ones.
This is a good question and I've been thinking about it. Because I actually am suspicious, but it's been hard for me to pin down why.
I'm not suspicious of Mistletoe. Sofia is straightforward and not the deceptive type.
I'm not even really that suspicious of Chris/Ferra/ Erika (although the various pseudonyms confuses the heck out of me, I wasn't even sure that Erika and Chris were the same person). Although since we will be essentially hiring her cook as pay for her rent, I would like to meet her before making a final decision, just like I would any tenant or employee.
But something does feel fishy. So I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out what my subconscious is telling me and I think I've finally figured out what is making me wary.
Sofia is very bad at the whole secret identify thing. She constantly uses real names, and doesn't have a very good grasp on why it's important to not leak information. My feeling is that it is very likely that unfriendly powers will have knowledge about Sofia and who she cares about. So while I highly doubt Chris is herself dangerous, I wouldn't be at all surprised it she is being used as bait for a trap.
Sofia is going to have to essentially break her out of a government institution right? I could see someone setting a trap for her. Because it means that sofia would have to go to a certain place, and probaly at certain times, and would be exposed to an attack. Probably carry stuff, not ready for combat. Yeah... I'm fine with meeting Chris and provisionally in favor of accepting her as a cook/tenant, but I'm worried that Sofia has been blabbing to anyone who will listen about how her girlfriend is in a bad situation, and how she needs to get her out of it. The main thing I want is for someone cool headed, who isn't focused on a girlfriend to be there and be backup against the risk of a trap.
