So far on today's Alternity: WTF and Triple WTF

[ladyrelaynie]

Hmm. Several interesting things coming to light today!

First WTF: As if we needed further proof how much Corax Mulciber resembles an integral part of male anatomy; that bouquet takes the cake. Belladonna and oleander are poisonous, the red rose is obviously her, and the black ones are her dead husbands. The scary thing is that Corax doesn't strike me as the kind of person to bother with flowers and condolences, unless to send a message. Maybe he was involved?

What do you reckon Blaise's stepdad was killed because Blaise's solution for his latest task wasn't up to par? Throwing money at things is kind of lame after all. If he was, that makes me worry for a lot for Molly.Or even the Malfoys, or Rod Lestrange (because let's be honest, no one is going after Bellatrix). Or the Patils (even though I don't like Padma, I don't wish her family dead.)

Second WTF WTF WTF: This. Seriously.

ETA: Oh, I didn't think of that!

You're right. I guess that makes it slightly less evil prickish rude. But only slightly!

It actually makes it a little more evil, to me: if Sally-Anne is right that Blaise's mother really liked this husband, implying that she poisoned yet another one, or that she is personally poisonous, is particularly cruel.

On the other hand if he contributed to Blaise's mother's husband's demise, then it's less evil, because he's not taunting her, he's taking credit.

(Which is not to say that murder is less evil than taunting someone - just that saying "hi I killed your husband" is less evil, as a statement, than "nyah nyah lost another husband didn't you".)

I don't know if it's more likely that he's either taking credit or taunting her. Both scenarios seem very Corax. I'm leaning toward taunting, just because it's the kind of thing he'd do, just to be awful. But he's also a murderous bastard, so I'm wavering.
