Proven Guilty: An update to my previous thoughts on the topic

--- Quote from: raidem on October 16, 2017, 04:29:02 PM ---Yeah, It was why I had wondered if it was a TTMolly that Mouse had met on one occasion and the real Molly on the other. But, that kinda gets a bit TT screwy.
Less TT screwy would be say Goodman Grey, or someone like him, impersonated Molly in first interaction.

It doesn't quite jibe, though; Molly doesn't express any surprise at seeing him later, and takes him to the convention. They even talk about Nelson's bail later in the book.

--- Quote from: Kindler on October 16, 2017, 04:17:43 PM ---Sure, but it doesn't make sense that Mouse would pick up on it at the police station but not be similarly distressed later. The Gatekeeper's note specifies that it's been "repeated acts of black magic over the last ten days," and we know Nelson was hit first. It's not like she had just done some black magic, you know? Rosie's was fresher, so he should be more on edge.
Unless he took Harry's "She's a friend" to heart, and just gave it a pass.

This is very possible. Does anyone recall a passing mention of a "Joe Nobody" type character walking by or hanging out?

Why did Mouse growl then but not later? It wasn't Nelson's presence, because Mouse was fine in the hospital with the girl, and Molly had done the same thing to both of them.

My assumption was He could See Nemesis inside her, THAT'S what wanted Harry involved in it. (if you look at the mirror mechanism used by the fetches for become, and apply that to the soul as a mirror...)
The whole thing Getting Molly involved in Black Magic an all that was a ploy to get Harry in trouble/outted/doing things that violate rules and Laws. Same way they set him up to violate homestead laws in GP. Consider If Harry hadn't rose to the occasion with TWG's help? fallen to the wayside on the run and 'warlocked' technically.
Also... that's likely why Mouse is there, first to protect Harry, especially in his dreams, and now Maggie from Nfluence/control. Right before Harry got Mouse he had the creepy dream with the evil Lea talking to him...

Let's face it, Mouse isn't going to just hate on someone forever just because they've got that touch of black magic on them. After all, Harry.,

Thank at least 1 person for discussing my theory. I went from the WoJ (I think it was) that we could discover the point of PG by looking at what came out of it. Most everyone noted the BC attack, but the main plot of the book was patently ignored. So, I said...suppose the main plot of the book was actually the main plot of the book.
However, I think the Mouse thing is trivial to explain. Molly had recently done Black Magic. Mouse reacts to evil actions not to potential evil (otherwise he would have had problems with Thomas). As Molly got more distant from this and potentially changed direction, Mouse changes his views and likes her.
NOTE: The only reason I type this is that Sandra Marling meets Mouse twice during the book and he has no noted reaction to her. That (to me) pretty much seals it that she is not a player in the game.
I would greatly prefer if you want to have a thread about another theory...that you make another thread. Thanks!
