Times Jon Was Smart
…an incomplete list, as this is off the top of my head. Add on in the notes, I guess!
- breaking the table (as it is genre-savvy)
- figuring out where Gertrude kept her laptop by the squeak of a floorboard
- keeping Trevor from killing Martin so he could be used as bait without any Beholding powers
- figuring out how to smite Helen
- remembering statements by number (MAG 33)
- being skeptical of the statements, honestly (to an extent—people do not get encased in spiderwebs just naturally, Jon, and I know why you were in denial about that one in particular—but, really, he’s in an academic institution. We know they’re supernatural because the summary of TMA is “a weekly horror fiction podcast”; meanwhile like ten percent? Less? Very few people encounter the fears in the world of TMA)
#also objectively being suspicious of your job when someone has like#DIED there is not a bad move#&
arguably assuming a coworker is responsible shouldnt be considered
stupid when he did have someone working w him who wanted him dead (not via ofdreamsanddoodles Yeah, that’s not stupid. Did he go a bit overboard with it? Yes. But you’re right, it’s a reasonable decision. After all, the assistants suspect him of murder too.
