ARG... can't wait any longer

But maybe the Lone Power is possesing him and he only started to AFTER the Powers sent him to the Callahans.

You're determined, aren't you?

"Exasperating" doesn't automatically imply either "evil" or "possessed." Ronan can be pretty exasperating. (Nita does not, I believe, make a habit of pouring drinks on people on purpose if she is not annoyed with them.) *pause* Well, he isn't evil, anyway.

Roshaun's arrogance isn't particularly attractive or promising, but it doesn't preclude his being generally on the right side. I'm pretty convinced he's supposed to learn something (broader worldview? social skills?) on the trip, of course....

[Birdhead]

Well, Agent M, everything you're saying is potentially posssible, but really sounds like you just don't like him. Which is fine... but don't you think the Powers would have warned Dairine, or, more likely, wouldn't even have sent him if they thought it was at all possible? Obviously they don't know everything, but they do know a lot. So it seems to me that the possibility of him actually working for the LP is very low indeed.

The possibility of his being a liability because of his arrogance is considerably more likely, and so there's the possiblity of him aiding the LP without intending to. But like PK and Rysade, I really think this is more likely to be a learning curve- the reason he's here is because he's so arrogant.

*grins* Anyway, I think you're biased against him because he's pretty. Can't we all just get along?

But the Powers didn't tell Nita that Pralaya was being possesed by the Lone Power at times either. So there. HA!

[Rysade]

[Agent M]

Now your getting my point.

Live your life as if there's no tommorrow, for all you know there might not be.

[PK]

Are we?

Well, possibly Rysade is. I haven't claimed at any point that it's *impossible* for Roshaun to have been subverted -- what puzzles me is your claim that he MUST have been.

It's also worth noting, for comparison/contrast purposes, that Pralaya came across as pretty agreeable most of the time. If the Lone Power *were* sending an operative, why pick one who was openly exasperating? (On the other hand, post-reconfiguration I wonder if It'd have a bit of a learning curve too, on social skills that don't involve tempting people. But that wouldn't be nearly sinister enough for your interpretation of Roshaun.... *innocent blink*)

[Birdhead]

Yes, but the situation with Pralaya was one where Nita knew she was on errantry, and knew there was danger, and a price, and was on her guard- although it didn't come from whence she expected. But by contrast, this is supposed to be a no-call situation; and so you'd think there'd have been... some sort of hint; though perhaps not.

Well still....... I think he's the bad guy.

[Agent M]

Fine. How much do you want to bet that he has something to do with the Lone Power?


Also I have yet another theory, The Lone Power wants info from him but Roshaun isn't concious of exactly what info he's giving him.

[Agent M]

Filif??? No. Way. No. But I still think Roshaun is evil!

[PK]

*blinks and headshakes*

M, seriously -- can you explain what you're basing your conclusions on? Because as far as I can tell, you've gone straight from "comes off as arrogant and annoying" to "can't possibly care about anyone but himself" and/or "HAS to be evil, a dupe, or both." I've GOT to be missing some intermediate steps here, unless you're going on instinct....

And Filif is hiding his roots, of course. It's a modesty thing. Very proper.

[Agent M]

I'm going on instinct, I'm almost always right. When I found out that someone was going to die in Harry Potter 5 I immediatly had suspicions that it was either Neville or Sirius, My gut was leaning more towards Sirius, unfortuantly I was right.
