    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    I would be inclined to say that the author's viewpoint there is a reasonable one.. I would be inclined to say that using that as proof that useful time manipulation exists would be a much less reasonable explanation and not one I would personally be inclined to play with. I would not say that...

    Three times you've asked and three times I've answered: NEITHER. One of them might be considered more or less reasonable than the other by most people, and maybe one will change their perspective with time and/or information, but that's it. And if you're going to insist on making anything about...

    Ack, the fundamental flaw is this: There is no objective truth involved in interpreting text, even in "straightforward" analysis. As such, neither "yes" nor "no" are actual answers to the question because the question is inherently incorrect. "There can only be one" is not a condition that is...

    Mu; the question is inherently flawed. Neither is objectively right. If a person states "the author intended this" and the author did not, then they're objectively wrong. If they state something along the lines of "these words did not happen in this sequence" they can also be objectively...

    ... or, you know, just accept that the author is not objectively correct about their story; their intentions when writing are just that: their intentions. Whether people agree that the opinions and morals expressed are correct or the results that occur within the story are reasonable (or any...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    Not fond of "death of the author" I take it? There are a great many people who would strongly disagree that your intentions as an author lead to objective truth within the story. And unless you've been running multiple accounts, I was not talking to you there, and answering for esotericist seems...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    I'm spotting a cultural difference here... it's a prediction of the future, of course it's not guaranteed to be true. Also, all observations are inherently limited and fallible. As such, even a direct statement still admits to uncertainty and should, and will, be changed in the future as further...

    The intent was more "The situation is so heavily stacked against it working out well with the plan Dana has that it would require an extreme amount of luck to work out, and as such I'm predicting her presence to make things worse because it seems to be the most likely result". That's it. Not...

    *Mutters darkly about communicating being so bloody complicated and confusing* My bluntness is what I normally do in essentially all situations; I don't really know how to do otherwise and still convey any degree of useful information. And demanding? That... is very much unintentional. Can you...

    No, no I am not; that is very far from my intention.

    "Do nothing" was never the suggested alternative. And sure, if she actually deals with everyone being primed to attack Taylor if she does anything aggressive, Sophia out to perform an action or two highly likely to provoke Taylor, extreme difficulties in effectively communicating by Taylor and...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    Armsmaster being busy includes paying attention for a change that would necessitate him giving an order very quickly to prevent everything from falling apart, among other things. Splitting his attention from that focus would be unwise, and once the mission has started there is no downtime for...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    ... have you not picked out a pattern, Ack? I make a response to a story. You, or somebody else, hones in on one particular point that you find disagreeable and respond to that. I try to explain, this is repeated a few cycles, you get extremely pissed off while I get frustrated, probably at...

    The only person on the scene with any authority to accomplish what she wants is Armsmaster... who has a lot of reasons to ignore her, most of them very good. She doesn't have her evidence with her, they're in the middle of a tense operation, her goal is nothing less than "turn on your...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    Well, let's see... she's WAY too late to get there before the operation starts unless there are some massive time discrepancies between these scenes, so that negates basically every possible way for her plan to actually work, she has no real capability to actually contribute to a battle with...

    ... so "It is possible that calling her won't work and thus I won't try and I will gamble everything on being able to get there on time, find them quickly, and be able to actually convince whoever I find to talk to me privately and convince said person to get Shadowstalker into custody"...

    That's... at least a semi-decent reason, but she's not a lone wolf. She's part of a team. Why doesn't she make a short call to one of her police officer friends and ask them to text her PRT Director Piggot's work number? Even if she insists on not using the phone while driving trying takes her...

    Aftermath (Worm AU)

    Are phonecalls not private enough for her, or something? She's racing against the clock, so why in the world is she insisting on doing it in person instead of over the phone? Especially when the stakes are "prevent yet another murder" and, quite possibly, "attain sufficient evidence to prevent...

    Please do; that's what I've been doing for a while, now, except for when the votes are irrelevant as it will definitely win that round regardless.
