That's an interesting pamphlet you wrote, Ms. Jefferson.

[cfuw_shepherd]

Please. Most call me "MJ."

[scanninggaydis]

[BEING RIGHT IS AWESOME]

Right. "MJ". Sorry. So, Marlowe. He doesn't seem to like you very much.

[cfuw_shepherd]

[she laughs quietly at that, but it's more harmless than anything.]

No, no. It's not like that. He's . . . uptight. Have you heard of the saying "my way or the highway," Mr. Gaeta? It's like that with him.

[scanninggaydis]

What is "his way", exactly?

[cfuw_shepherd]

Research, mostly. Understanding the world around us. Helping others understand, working towards a better future — perhaps we're a bit idealistic at heart.

[scanninggaydis]

Were you doing research for the "association"?

[cfuw_shepherd]

Initially. We were afforded many opportunities because of them and we're only human. . . . ah, well, I am, anyway. But not any more. I can't tolerate a group that would— well, you've read the notes by now.

[scanninggaydis]

Idealism's a bitch, huh?

[still doesn't know quite how bad it is. missed all the movies because third floor and, you know. CERTAIN MISSING ACCESSORIES.]

[cfuw_shepherd]

Mm, to be young and naive again. Tell me, Mr. Gaeta — have you figured out the truth behind the death of Allen V yet?

[scanninggaydis]

That's the part that's still escaping me, unfortunately. But Kyouko seems pretty intent on solving the mystery, so I guess I'll find out.

[and oh hey she's saying something about the owner of the hand maybe being alive]

[cfuw_shepherd]

You haven't had all the pieces to the puzzle, I'm afraid. It's unfortunate, but if I was going to take things from some, I had to take from everyone. If you'd like, I could send the videos to your tablet. There isn't much else to do.

[scanninggaydis]

I'd appreciate it.

[ding! you have new messages! it's the "alice," "v", and "fall of the red queen" videos. as a bonus, there's the uncensored crime scene photo.]
