[network/open] Let's Review
Who: Aelwyn Abernant & Open
Username: Aberration
Warnings: Discussions of the last event, misogynistic language.
Something is bugging me (no pun intended) about last month's Monster of the Week, and I wanted to perhaps have a discussion about it.
Ren Morimoto dies late november of a parasitic infection supposedly originating from the Dominican Republic. She claims our dear friend Tim apparently also known as Jim is to blame for the whole ordeal and that she wanted to thank him. I don't know the truth of that, Timothy is free to comment.
She mentions that the insects told her that Tim's whole scheme has to be a set up to a grand ritual with a variety of sacrifices, and apparently that's what that entire hostage situation was about. But before that she sends us a present in the form of a parasytic smart phone app that apparently showed up randomly on Pam's TikTok. The game is almost impossible to resist once you start playing, and it starts changing you into your worst possible self to keep the competition running.
And then we have the whole warehouse encounter, which I think largely speaks for itself.
But it's fascinating because even though she's so clearly in bed with the Corruption, that doesn't seem to track with all of the abilities on display here. This, to me, reeks of Web influence. Someone wanted to stop the viral TikTok trend in it's tracks, and they puppetted this stupid bitch to make it all happen.
Thoughts?

That's a bit of a sexist assumption.
Just because the culprit might be a woman it's automatically this one woman you just so happen to know? You're on the wrong side of history, Calhoun.
I don't think it's any of the above, to be honest. ADI is certainly at the center of whatever their intentions are, though.

i didn't mean to be a sexist dick. i guess i got carried away feeling like a real detective solving a mystery
[ SIGH. Now he has some reflecting and unpacking to do... ]
so what do you think it is?

I don't actually know, but I imagine it's connected to our arrival here. Perhaps a ritual of their own.
