Silk, Hy, Tick Talk

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

vizcacha,

Great work!  (All those child sacrifice threads find a very nice
grounding in Jerboa-as-one-of-the-old-timers-who-did-that-before-it
was-illegal, btw.  But you already knew that.)

Re: "statutory warnings that Silk is more Moses than Jesus," <g>.
I keep promising myself to find the time to write something about
that . . . maybe this week?

Re: Hy seeing sub-surface areas.  Good points.  If she was a spy and
saw these things then she was holding out on Crane, since he was
poking around at Blood's looking for a way into the tunnels.  If it
is not so much her being a spy as her being possessed 'round the
clock by a goddess, then I can speculate that Kypris heard the story
and went to check it out via monitors--but in this case we have to
ask when the last time Hy had access to a monitor was.  Another
motive for playing tribadic/Trivigauntic patty-cake on the
airship--to get to a monitor?  (I can't recall where the glass was on
the airship.)

Re: Tick talk.  Neat, complete.  (Hey, I never thought of Tick as a
female critter!  I believe you, but where did you pick that up?)  And
another point for the Sphigx connexion--interesting!

Keep up the good work!
