Chapter 45-1: Distorted Truths

[Litmaster]

2) Also, Tardust claims that Scratch was not coming, and not going to meet him there. So why does he replace the key in the storm drain??? Or is he waiting on someone else? Would seem to me if you are exhausted you would keep the key, so that no one can get inside with you...... Or at least they would have to break a door/window..... which would give you time to react!

3) Finally, Tardust says "I left her behind" when he is questioned about Scratch. Everything we have known about Scratch tells us that she is not someone that you "Leave behind"..... So did Tardust lie about Scratch's whereabouts? Did he sneak away from her?? Or is Scratch injured somewhere and he really did "leave" her???

and

Hm, why does Tardust not carry the key to the house with him? Does he expect Scratch to return later on to the house?

I'm thinking that Tar finally got sick of Scratch... but the key left in the storm drain is suspicious, you are right. Regardless, it is intriguing to me what Burt/Riley are going to DO with him now that they've got him...

So Riley is out to Burt, and Burt is narrating in his journal. Burt's journal will possibly be transcribed by Tanya or Kelly before the final. If so, Riley may be outed to a lot of people she wasn't planning on being outed to quite yet.....potential for extra drama?

Ugh... why does this even matter? What difference does it make which gender Riley slept with prior to the outbreak?

3. I always assumed that Scratch and the Mallers took the SWAT Van. Even on her own, Scratch should be able to do a lot of damage to one of the Colonist's convoys that big, heavy armored truck.

I thought that van was NOT stolen by Scratch, but some miscellaneous Mallers, who got overrun by Zeds soon after they made it out of the Colony gates. I'm pretty sure that's what happened, but not sure where I heard that. Fact checkers, anyone?

I kinda liked the way the easter egg episode (yes, I'll call it that) was set up... Going from R&B to M&V, then back to R&B... I dunno, it just felt a bit more... Fun that way...
I really like that Tardust is starting to show his face some more, whether he'll help the good Guys I don't know, but I kinda hope so.

Things I picked up on first.. Burt and Michael narrated. So they will survive this Chapter and Ink is on to them. He had the hole filled back in. So they only entrance now they know about again will lead them back to the Arena.

and

Burt Narrated in this chapter.. I do not see him dying in it.. Would not go along with what I have been noticing this in the story.. Those who no longer narrate are most likely to die. I think the the ones that narrate are alive at the end.. I guess I will have to wait till the end to see if I am correct.

and

All the narration means is that he wrote in the journal, not that he lives at the end.

Remember, Kalani had a narration too. A good chunk of chapter 27, after he was dead.

THANK YOU!! Can we please dispense with the narrational predictive analyzing? I hope that Kc has the next four chapters all narrated by Angel, just to fuck with everybody...
